Linday Lohan Agrees To Get A Visit From Michael Lohan

Lindsay Lohan and her mother Dina Lohan have agreed to let the estranged father and former drunk, Michael Lohan visit her at her Utah rehab facility. Lindsay hasn’t seen her father in years due to his abusive behaviour as well as anger management issues. Michael now claims to be sober after having found God. He has also appeared on every possible media outlet in America, including Larry King Live, trying to reach out to Lindsay.

Funny thing is, Lindsay’s mother had to get a restraining order lifted just so that he could get to visit Lindsay. It will all happen together with a counselor. Linday’s rep has confirmed the validity of the story.

It’s apparently all part of the “healing process”.

I give it 6 months before she goes back to the bottle and ends the relationship with her dad, again. Mark my words!

Details of Britney Spears’ VMA Performance - Revealed!

I guess it’s time to report some rather good news on Britney. We have obtained some rumored and un-confirmed “confidential” information about Britney’s upcoming MTV Video Music Award performance in Las Vegas on September 9th.

Here’s what we found out:

- She will not open the show, she will close it.
- The performance will be a medley of a new ballad titled “Cry” followed by her new single “Gimme More”.
- It will allegedly be one of her most “complex” performances to date.
- She is set to dance in and out of mirrors which will make her appear and disappear at different areas of the stage (guided by Criss Angel).
- Dance rehearsals are currently underway in Las Vegas (sans Britney)
- Some dancers will be rigged and suspended in mid-air.
- The performance includes a reggaeton style instrumental break down.

Even though Britney performing at the VMA’s has never been officially confirmed, the fact that Billboard.com has reported a new single drop around the same week of the VMA’s adds a level of credibility to everything. Just thought I should point that out.

Paris and Nicky Hilton

Both Paris and Nicky Hilton were hard partying all night as they appeared back on the club scene again; they had their own VIP booth while at the PURE nightclub at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It seems as if the siblings are getting back to their old ways of staying up all night and partying hard.

While Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton we dancing to the beat other partygoers were going nuts, Paris was pleasing fans by taking time out to shake their hands, how big of her ah.

One thing that has changed with Paris was the fact that she was only drinking water and not alcohol.

Britney refuses duet with Justin; says she won't sing his Emmy nominated song, 'Junk in a Box'; critics call her decision career suicide



Britney won't sing -- oh, look, it's Dick in a box. I wonder how did he get in there? Hollywood, California - After taking a week off his busy career to help revive hers, former girlfriend, Britney, stood up Justin Timberlake by refusing to fly out to his Virginia Beach studio to record a duet with her former beau. According to Britney's publicist, she refused to sing with Timberlake because she did not care for song selection he made for them. Music industry critics call her decision career suicide.

"Britney just didn't see how singing, "'Junk' in a Box" as a duet with Justin would help further her career," said a spokesman for Britney. Music industry insiders doubt that is the reason, however.

"It doesn't sound like a legitimate professional disagreement between two accomplished artists;" said an industry insider. "Song selections are negotiated well in advanced of their scheduled recording date. If there was a disagreement between the two, it would have come up way before."

It is rumored it, instead, it had everything to do with the fact that Britney herself perceives she is accepting charity from a nice guy she dismissed with a girl-on-girl kiss with Madonna on a national broadcast of VMA Awards with him sitting in the audience after their much publicized breakup.

Britney's spokesmen then later released the following prepared statement:

Unfortunately, due to the fact that the airline industry does not have safety restraining devices (safety belts) for children on their planes, Britney thought to act in the best interests of her children by canceling her flight out to her recording secession with Mr. Justin Timberlake. Rather than compromise the safety of her children by fly with them without safety restraint devices. Perhaps this will be the wakeup call the airline industry needs to take assertive action now to correct this problem. Until then, Britney refuses to fly out and do a duet with Timberlake.

Lohan’s Denial: “I Wasn’t Driving!”

SANTA MONICA – Lindsay Lohan’s latest defense comes in two sentences: “I wasn’t driving!” and “The drugs aren’t mine!” Sorry Lindsay, but we’ve heard it all before. Three men who were at the party and in the vehicle with Lohan have reportedly told TMZ the juicy details of what really happened that night.



Apparently, Lohan had commandeered a GMC Denali belonging to Dante Nigro, one of the witnesses. “She [Lohan] was mad after her assistant quit and she jumped in my car to go after her. She was driving pretty fast, over 100mph, and was swerving all over the road.” said Nigro.



Nigro and the other men, Jakon Sutter and Ronnie Blake has gone to the party at the behest of the boyfriend of Lohan’s assistant, but only Nigro was let inside. “We were in the car and were ready to leave,” said Jakon Sutter. “She [Lohan] jumped into the driver’s seat and took off with us in the vehicle.”



According to TMZ, “Ronnie [Blake] was so fearful, he jumped out of the vehicle as it accelerated. Just as he hit the ground, she ran over his foot and just kept going.” Lohan began chasing after her assistant and they drove in circles along PCH in Malibu. Eventually, Lohan lost track of the car she was following and drove to the girl’s mother’s house instead, thinking that was where she [the assistant] would be going.



“I tried to grab the wheel, but she [Lohan] yelled, ‘If you touch me, I’ll sue you!’ and so I left her alone,” said Nigro. “She kept saying, “I can’t get in trouble, I’m a celebrity! I can do whatever the f—k I want!’”



The mother of the girl that Lohan had been chasing was the one who alerted the cops of her [Lohan’s] erratic driving and behavior. As the cops arrested and booked her, Lohan claimed, “I wasn’t driving! The black kid was!” When the police found cocaine in a pocket on her jeans while performing a routine search, Lohan stated, “It’s not mine!”



“I never saw her without a drink the entire night,” said Nigro. “We even watched her fail a sobriety test.” TMZ reported that “Nigro tried warning her [Lohan] that the woman she was chasing was heading towards the police station. She just kept yelling that she was above the law.”



Lohan is reportedly supposed to appear in a Santa Monica courtroom for her arrest on August 24.

MARTHA MARTHA !!

Lohan Hit With Drug and Alcohol Arrest

SANTA MONICA, Calif. - The troubled saga of Lindsay Lohan took another dangerous turn early Tuesday when police charged her with drunken driving and cocaine possession after a frightened woman dialed 911 to report being chased by Lohan's SUV.

Less than two weeks out of rehab, with another drunk driving case pending, Lohan had a blood-alcohol level of between .12 and .13 percent when police found her about 1:30 a.m., Sgt. Shane Talbot said.

Authorities had received a 911 call from the mother of Lohan's former personal assistant, said Officer Alex Padilla. The assistant had just quit hours before, he said.

"The mother was afraid," Padilla said. "She wasn't quite sure what was going on so she called the police saying she wanted to make sure everything was going to be OK."

The woman apparently didn't realize it was Lohan who was behind her, Padilla said.

Police said the woman drove her black Cadillac Escalade into the parking lot of Santa Monica's Civic Auditorium, about a block away from the Santa Monica Police Department, followed by Lohan driving a Denali sport utility vehicle. Authorities arrived and saw Lohan and the woman in "heated debate," Padilla said. Lohan and the woman each had two passengers in their vehicles, Padilla said.

After a field sobriety test, the 21-year-old movie star was booked on two misdemeanor charges of suspicion of driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license and two felony charges of possession of cocaine and transport of a narcotic, Talbot said.

During a pre-booking search, police found cocaine in one of Lohan's pants pockets, Talbot said.

Several hours later, Lohan was released on $25,000 bail.

A call to Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloan Zelnik, and attorney, Blair Berk, were not immediately returned.

Padilla said he didn't know why Lohan was trying to catch the woman, whom he didn't name.

Last week, Lohan turned herself in to Beverly Hills police to face charges of driving under the influence in connection with a Memorial Day weekend hit-and-run crash.

Lohan lost control of her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible and crashed into a curb and shrubs on Sunset Boulevard, police said. Lohan's blood-alcohol level at the time of that crash was above the legal limit, authorities said, but they wouldn't disclose how high it was. She also faces a misdemeanor charge of hit and run in that case.

A court date was scheduled in that case for Aug. 24.

Lohan left Promises Malibu Alcohol and Drug Rehab Treatment Facility on July 13, after a stay of more than six weeks.

When she left, Zelnik said Lohan would voluntarily wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet.

"In part she is wearing the bracelet so there are no questions about her sobriety if she chooses to go dancing or dining in a place where alcohol is served," Zelnik said in a statement at the time.

Padilla said he wasn't sure if Lohan was wearing it when she was stopped early Tuesday.

In January, Lohan also had checked into rehab for substance abuse treatment

Lindsay Lohan turns herself in to cops, faces DUI, hit-and-run charges

Just a week out of rehab and Lindsay Lohan had to paid a visit to the Beverly Hills Police Department.

Lohan turned herself in yesterday in connection with DUI charges and misdemeanor hit-and-run charges from a crash in May, according to the Associated Press.

If you'll remember, back on Memorial Day weekend, Lohan had a little incident with her Benz and some shrubs along Sunset Boulevard. Officer Brian Ballieweg told the AP that Lohan's blood-alcohol level at that time was more than the 0.08 percent legal limit.

The crash was in the days before the actress headed to rehab.

But don't start imagining a Paris-sized jail stay just yet, the cops released Lohan last night and she's due in court on Aug. 24.

Los Angeles - Paris Hilton has reportedly been seen smoking marijuana outside a Los Angeles nightclub.

The hotel heiress – who told US chat show host Larry King in a recent interview she had never taken drugs – climbed out of an SUV car in front of trendy Hollywood hangout Teddy’s in what witness described as a cloud of marijuana smoke.


One fellow clubber told the New York Post newspaper: “She took a huge puff off of a joint, then opened the door and exhaled the pot smoke basically in my face.”

Does Paris have a fan in Lily?

She's 'amazing' and 'hideous'


Sarcasm doesn't always translate well in the written word, so it's hard to tell if Lily Allen is a fan of Paris Hilton or not.

"I think Paris is amazing. I mean she's hideous, but I think she's amazing at the same time," the Smile singer told Star magazine.

"I love her. I think The Simple Life is genius. I can never figure out if she plays up to it or not."

Allen's either seriously sarcastic or has heinous taste.

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton walked out of a Los Angeles-area jail

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton walked out of a Los Angeles-area jail early Tuesday with a big smile on her face after serving 23 days for violating her probation on a reckless driving conviction.

With paparazzi and reporters swarming behind a police barrier, Hilton waved and beamed but ignored shouted questions as she left the jail about 12:15 a.m. PT.

She walked past sheriff's deputies into a sport utility vehicle where her parents waited. (Watch as Hilton walks free )

The media dogged Hilton as she made her getaway, jockeying for position and snapping photos of the socialite for miles along the Los Angeles freeway system.

When her SUV had to stop at a red light, photographers jumped out of their cars and surrounded it, The Associated Press reported. (Blog: Much ado about nothing)

CNN affiliate KTLA-TV in Los Angeles reported that Hilton went to her grandparents' home in the Benedict Canyon area of Beverly Hills.

Her arrival there initially provoked amusement among residents out for early morning walks, according to the Associated Press.

"What I think is funny is every single news person here apologized to me," said 50-year-old retired attorney Martha Karsh, out for a stroll with her college-age daughter, Katie, told the AP.


"It's not real news. What's the story here?" asked Karsh, adding that she wasn't aware that any Hiltons lived in the neighborhood until TV satellite trucks and other news vehicles crammed the street.

Later in the day, the AP added, neighbors were less blase as traffic built up amid the frenzy of media personnel and equipment. The news service noted that one motorist made an obscene gesture to reporters while driving by.

Hilton, 26, was sentenced to 45 days for the 2006 probation violation but served about half the term, gaining credit for good behavior. (Gallery: Stars who have done time)

"She has fulfilled her debt to society and it's now concluded," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Hilton is scheduled to give her first post-jail television interview Wednesday on CNN's "Larry King Live" show after ABC and NBC dropped rival offers last week.

The imprisonment -- and temporary release -- of Hilton ignited a global media storm and raised questions about celebrity justice.

Her jail time was sparked by her arrest in September on a drunken-driving charge. (People.com: Full Hilton coverage)

She admitted alcohol-related reckless driving in January and was sentenced to three years' probation but was caught driving the following month on a suspended license. Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer ruled in May this violated her probation.

He rejected Hilton's defense that her publicist had misinformed her about the status of her license.

Hilton surrendered to authorities on June 3 to begin her sentence and spent all 23 days -- bar one -- at Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California. (Watch what might be next for Hilton )

'Hardest thing I've ever done'
Three days after Hilton began her jail stay, she was released by the Los Angeles County sheriff to home detention with electronic monitoring because of an unspecified medical condition.

She was at home a little more than a day before the judge ordered her back to jail to complete her sentence. Hilton was led out of the courtroom weeping.

"This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done," she said in a statement. "I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter but important lesson from this experience."

Hilton's probation will end in March 2009, as long as she keeps her driver's license current and doesn't break the law, according to the AP.

The city attorney's office has said she can cut 12 months off that time if she does community service, which could include a public-service announcement, the AP reported.

Nicole Richie: I'm worried I might go to jail

Does Nicole Richie think she's next?

Paris Hilton's good buddy told David Letterman during a taping for his talk show on Wednesday that she's worried about landing in the pokey, too.

"I'm just keeping my fingers crossed, and, you know, of course, I'm scared also, but, you know, I'm willing to face whatever consequences come my way, and I take responsibility for what I've done," she said.

Richie, the 25-year-old daughter of pop singer Lionel Richie, pleaded not guilty in February to driving under the influence. She was arrested December 11 and volunteered she had smoked marijuana and taken the prescription painkiller Vicodin, but no drugs were found on her or in the car, police said.

Richie already had a 2003 misdemeanor DUI conviction. The California vehicle code says if convicted of DUI twice within 10 years, a person can be sentenced to between 90 days and a year in jail and have his or her driving privileges suspended.


During the "Late Show" taping, Letterman asked Richie, who acknowledged previous legal troubles, when she'll learn her fate.

"Probably the end of this month," she responded.

A sympathetic Letterman wished her the best, saying, "I hope you don't have to go to jail."

Richie starred in the TV reality show "The Simple Life" with Hilton, who has had similar problems. The 26-year-old hotel heiress checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in suburban Los Angeles on Sunday to serve 23 days

Paris Hilton sent back in jail

LOS ANGELES - A sobbing Paris Hilton was sent back to jail Friday a day after her early release under house arrest triggered outrage that one of Hollywood's rich and famous was getting special treatment.

Hilton, who had spent little more than 72 hours behind bars, cried and wailed "Mom, Mom, Mom" as Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer ordered her back to prison to serve out her 45-day sentence imposed for driving on a suspended license.

Earlier when the 26-year-old heiress to the Hilton hotel fortune failed to turn up at court on time, having reportedly asked to appear by telephone, police turned up at her home in the Hollywood foothills to fetch her.

She was seen tearfully hugging her mother, before being handcuffed and put in the back of a police car.

Shots taken from helicopters buzzing overhead showed her sobbing uncontrollably as the police convoy, speeding through the crush of waiting media, took her back to court where the judge ruled she must go back to prison.

The pictures of a distraught Hilton were very different from the shots of her strutting her stuff in designer clothes at red-carpet soirees.

Hilton, the multi-millionaire hotels heiress and star of the TV reality show "The Simple Life," had been sent home early Thursday after entering prison late Sunday following a red-carpet MTV music awards ceremony.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, citing unspecified "medical reasons," released her under house arrest with an electronic monitoring bracelet on her ankle.

But her release stunned prosecutors, who quickly filed a motion seeking to haul Hilton back behind bars to complete her sentence for violating probation by driving on a suspended license.

They were also bombarded by a barrage of angry phone calls, emails and faxes from people protesting the preferential treatment being handed out to Hilton.

Black civil rights leader Al Sharpton said: "This early release gives all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism that is constantly cited by poor people and people of color."

"This decision sends the message that no individual -- no matter how wealthy or powerful -- is above the law. Today justice was served," City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo said in a statement after Friday's decision.

Hilton's stunned parents were watching the proceedings, and her mother, Kathy, began crying and hugging her husband, Rick, wailing, "Oh my God!" as the judge made his ruling.

The saga surrounding Hilton has sparked a media frenzy around one of the world's most photographed women, who is a A-list guest on the Hollywood party circuit.

She is mainly well-known for being rich and famous, and shot to international fame thanks largely to a sex tape of her and an-ex boyfriend which appeared on the Internet.

She has also released a music album and appeared in films such as "House of Wax," "Pledge This," and the forthcoming "The Hottie and the Nottie."

Earlier in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Sheriff Lee Baca had defended his department's decision to release Hilton on Thursday.

"My message to those who don't like celebrities is that punishing celebrities more than the average American is not justice," Baca was quoted as saying.

"The problem here is that there is a medical issue and it isn't wise to keep a person in jail with her problem over an extended period of time and let the problem get worse," Baca said, refusing to describe the medical problem.

But City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo said that Los Angeles jails were well-equipped to deal with the medical needs of inmates and the decision to release her was "puzzling."

"If law enforcement officials are to enjoy the respect of those we are charged with protecting, we cannot tolerate a two-tiered jail system where the rich and powerful receive special treatment," Delgadillo

Not too fast Paris HiltonDaily Entertainment Break: Paris Hilton out of jail, confined to Hollywood mansionCassidy: There's a better punishment for Paris HiltonParis Hilton ordered back to courtOh come on, you knew it was going to happen didn't you? You knew there was no way that poor li'l rich girl Paris Hilton was going to have to serve out her time in the slammer.
Barely five days after she arrived at the Los Angeles County jail, she's back in her Barbie Dream House for the remaining 40 days of her sentence, sporting an electronic monitoring bracelet (Gucci?). Reports are that she had some sort of medical condition which prompted her early release. At this point, it's anyone's guess what it is. Dandruff? An unattractive rash from the chafing of her prison-issue jumpsuit?

We know she didn't contract anything from her cell-mate because she didn't have one. The Associated Press reports that her jail accommodations were in the "special needs" division which is separate from the other un-pedicured miscreants. (Can you even imagine Paris' "special needs" in jail? Just the shampoos alone boggle the mind.)

Home-confinement chez Hilton is pretty plush punishment for violating probation, as Paris did when she was caught twice early this year boppin' around in her Bentley despite having had her license suspended for alcohol-fueled reckless driving. As her clubbin' buddy Britney would say, "Oops! I did it again!"

Considering all the other injustices and crises in the world such as, oh, the continued mayhem in Iraq, global warming and the alarming failure of so many of our public schools, it seems awfully frivolous to give a rat's posterior about the trials of an airhead celebutante. Why waste the energy?
Maybe it's because the Hilton-irritant seems like something that should be very manageable. She's a blond mosquito who so needs to be swatted. How many times have you seen that ridiculous commercial of her making love to a cheeseburger and thought, "Can't we at least throw this bimbo in jail?'`

Of course, there are legions of Paris' fans who think she's being treated unfairly. These are the same people she insulted on her Web site by posting a get-out-of-jail-free petition that claims her lasting gift to humanity is bringing glamour and excitment into their otherwise `mundane lives.'

I don't get it. My first reaction when I saw that petition was, "You know what would brighten up my mundane life? Send Paris to Gitmo!"

Yet, apparently, she got a gazillion signatures on that thing.

So, in a world turned upside down by celebrity obsession - and Paris is a celebrity mainly for being a beautiful, rich do-nothing - it makes twisted sense that she would get off with mansion-arrest.

There was one moment during this fiasco when our gal Paris had a chance to actually learn something and impart it to her fans. She showed promise when she was interviewed on the red carpet at the MTV awards, just before her incarceration, and said she was ready to be strong, do the right thing and serve her time like a good little inmate.

Now she's probably getting her electronic bracelet fitted with diamond studs while she has a margarita out on the sun deck.

Who knows, maybe she'll end up having Scooter Libby over for a pre-jail spa day, if he goes to jail at all. Paris can give him tips on how to avoid that sort of inconvenience.
