Shriver tweets about daughter's award

Maria Shriver hasn't said much since news broke Wednesday about husband Arnold Schwarzenegger's affair with one of their household staffers.

The proud mom did take to Twitter last night, however, to gush about daughter Katherine's achievements. "Congrats to my beautiful & brilliant daughter, @kschwarzenegger, for receiving the GirlPower Award from A Place Called Home today," Shriver tweeted.

Shriver attended a special luncheon in Beverly Hills yesterday where Katherine, 21, received the GirlPower Award from the nonprofit organization, A Place Called Home.

The eldest Schwarzenegger child, who is a junior at USC, penned a book last year aimed at helping girls with self-esteem and body issues, called Rock What You've Got.
