Shirley MacLaine Lends Linsday a Helping HandAfter her DUI arrest Lindsay Lohan checked into Promises rehab facility, which led to speculation that her newest movie would be canceled. But Lindsay lucked out. According to People, the film's producers Rob Hickman and Shirley MacLaine are not firing her. The producers of Lindsay Lohan's next film, Poor Things, plan to keep her on the cast and will juggle the shooting schedule to accommodate her rehabilitation stint, they told PEOPLE on Wednesday.If Shirley MacLaine wanted her off the film, Lindsay would be off the film. So that was a nice gesture. But Lindsay better not mess up this last chance. Posted on May 30, 2007 Permalink | Digg this | Blogs linking to this post: Google | Technorati | X17Online has the photographic evidence that Linsday Lohan went out and got wasted the night after her DUI. The photos show Lindsay early this morning at a gas station, being driven by the worst friend in the world, DJ Samantha Ronson. They were heading back from a Memorial Day pool party at Teddy's at the Roosevelt Hotel. Linsday is nearly passed out in the front seat, then later she is shown throwing up by the side of the road, while clutching her "30 Days Sober" medallion from Alcoholics Anonymous. This is really not funny -- this has crossed the line into tragic behavior of an addict who is going to ruin her life. Lindsay, let people help you before it's too late! And Samantha -- you are no friend at all!

She and her two passengers were slightly banged up, but they're fine. People reports: The 20-year-old actress was slightly injured when her convertible struck a curb on Sunset Boulevard. She was briefly hospitalized. Lohan and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed around 5:30 a.m., Sgt. Mike Foxen told the Associated Press. "She was cited and released because she has been admitted to a local hospital for minor injuries," Foxen said.X17Online.com has photos and related video here. Lindsay told Allure magazine that it was so "weird" that she went to rehab, that she had sworn she would never go there. It sounds to us like she needs to go back immediately.

Lindsay Lohan has been kicked out of another hotel. MSNBC reports on Lindsay's antics at the Soho Grand in Manhattan -- and it's not pretty
Calum Best checked into Manhattan's trendy Soho Grand with a pretty young woman who was not Lohan, and the actress shortly checked in with another guy — some believe to make Best jealous. Lohan tried to telephone Calum, but didn’t get in touch with him, so she went out partying until 1:30 a.m., reports Star, then returned to the hotel and collapsed in the lobby.This is almost as impressive as the fact that a post-rehab AA member Lindsay has Svedka vodka sponsoring her 21st birthday party in Las Vegas.

In this shot, Matthew appears to be...ok, we have no idea what he's doing. Trying to light a fire with gasoline, perhaps? Other shots show him dancing around the ensuing fire, hurling palm fronds and cursing the heavens. We have no idea what this movie is about, but IMDB.com says it's a comedy that also stars Willie Nelson. Groovy. (Image courtesy of Flynetonline.com.)

First there was the Readers's Digest
interview
in which she admits that baby Shiloh was planned -- while Brad was still married to Jennifer Aniston, no less. Now she says she's taking a year off. People reports:
"I'm working this summer. I'm in Prague for a few months, then I take two months off, then I work for two months," Jolie said Tuesday while promoting A Mighty Heart at the Cannes Film Festival. "And then I take a year off." Asked if the time off will be for her family, she replied: "Yes."Angie was in Cannes to promote A Mighty Heart, which so far has gotten mixed reviews. Some critics praise her version of Mariane Pearl's French-Cuban accent, while others have lambasted it. All we know is that her hair and makeup looked fabulous in Cannes.

The coffee is also known as cat poo coffee because it made from cofee beans that have been excreted by will civet cats in Indonesia. Cafe-crazy Australians in the last decade have embraced coffee in all its forms, but they've saved the most expensive -- and excremental -- for last.Those of you familiar with the deadly Sars outbreak will remember that the Sars outbreak was linked to civet cats. The coffee certainly doesn't sound very appetizing or safe but apparently it is both delicious and safe. The article says reactions to the coffee are 99% favorable. The coffee is expensive and costs $50 (Australian dollars) per cup. Posted on May 21, 2007 Permalink | Digg this | Blogs linking to this post: Google | Technorati | You know how Candy Spelling has been writing these open letters to various celebrities lately via TMZ.com? Her latest missive was to incarcerated Girls Gone Wild video producer Joe Francis. Candy told him not to be a crybaby, to concentrate on his family and generally to shape up. Someone read the letter to Francis over the phone and he has now responded via TMZ with a sniveling, obnoxious response. Dear Candy:Joe was incarcerated in Bay County Jail in Panama City, Florida, but is now on his way to Nevada to be charged with tax evasion. The Feds won their case arguing that the federal charges take priority. TMZ has reported that Joe has been crying and in hysterics every day in jail, and is being verbally taunted by a death row inmate, hence, all the "Cry Baby" references. Sorry, Joe, but we're with Candy on this one. You need to realize that videotaping drunk, under aged girls in compromising positions and not paying your taxes are not cool. Not cool at all. Time to grow up and face the music.

Nickelodeon and United Arab Emirate's based Al Ahli Group announced that SpongeBob along with other Nickelodeon properties will be the newest additions to the giant Al Ahli park development currently underway in Dubai and set to open in 2011. Over 60 million people watch SpongeBob each month and this likely includes some Dubai residents. Dubai is also building other things including a Dubia Space Port and Ski Dubai, an indoor ski slope.

I am so blessed that you care enough about me to be concerned and will continue to live in this brighter state with all of you by my side during this trying time. We are all lights of the world and we all need to continuously inspire others and look to the higher power. You are all in my prayers. Godspeed.Godspeed? That sounds so....British. And older. Yet the rest of the message does sound like Britney...completely addled. And it's not a surprise, since Britney reportedly has cut all ties with her mother Lynne, even refusing to visit her in the hospital when she had pneumonia. MSNBC reports: Britney Spears' relationship with her mother has turned toxic. The singer, who once was so close to Lynne Spears that she co-wrote a book with her and gushed that her mom was her best friend, is so furious with the woman that she refused to visit her in the hospital on Mother's Day, according to several reports. "Britney has cut off all communication with her mom," a "friend" of the 25-year-old singer told the National Enquirer. "She's gone from calling Lynne ten times a day to flat-out refusing to speak to her."If true, then Britney has really lost it. When your parents and the manager who made you a star all band together to force you into rehab, guess what? You are an addict and you need to be in rehab. Deal with it or watch your career go down the tubes. Or, as Pink might say, "Stupid Girl."

The news report below suggests that Paris Hilton could end up serving time at Tent City, which has been described as a "military camp in the desert." Joe Arpaio, the sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona who is also known as "the toughest sheriff in the West," has apparently extended an offer to house Paris Hilton due to overcrowding in Los Angeles jails. Here is some more information about what Sheriff is like. Tent City is an extension of the Maricopa County Jail using "used tents from the military" that was established by Arpaio as a solution to overcrowded prisons. In the hot summer of 1993 it reached 110 degrees in Arpaio's Tent City. If this is true, and we doubt it, this would be a gross miscarriage of justice. She may be annoying at time, but she certainly isn't a violent criminal.

The directions provided by the satnav were sending drivers of large cars and trucks on roads in Exton that narrow to just 6 feet wide. The result was very frustrated drivers and continued damage to Exton's "hedgerows and verges." Owing to a fault in the electronic information system, many drivers are sent through the Hampshire hamlet only to find the lane narrows to 6ft and they get stuck.The article says the situation has greatly improved since the signs telling people to ignore the satnav system were installed.

She decided to email a few friends that she was having a party at her father's house while he was out of town. Someone posted the party notice on MySpace and soon the entire scene looked like the one from Risky Business when Tom Cruise's character decided to run a brothel out of his parents' house while they were out of town. Singer Annie Lennox, the green-eyed chanteuse has a 16 year-old daughter who decided to throw a party at her dad's house while he was away. The invite hit MySpace and other Internet portals causing a crush of strangers converging on the domicile.It got worse from there. Eventually the cops were called and order was restored. But Lola is essentially grounded for life. The moral of this story is: call your friends to invite them to a party -- resist the impulse to text everyone the invite. Oh, and some creative, dire threats against anyone who even thinks about re-posting the invite on MySpace would not be amiss.

But most attorneys don't think that the appeal is likely to
succeed.
"Paris is unlikely to win an appeal or change of venue," said celebrity trial attorney John Pierson. "An appeal court will find that nothing was wrong in the handling of the case or the sentence. They will not re-try the case; she got caught multiple times on violation of probation where there is little due process protection. They played the trial hand and lost. They basically tied the courts hands, leaving the judge no choice but to hand down a full sentence."Overcrowding in Los Angeles county jails allowed Michelle Rodriguez to leave after serving only two hours of her sentence. But that problem has been rectified, meaning that Paris will likely serve all 45 days of her sentence. And it's not going to be fun. She's already been shooting her mouth off to the press about how unfair it all is, and in an interview in Harper's Bazaar she says that cops pull her over just to hit on her. This is not making her any friends in the justice system. We recommend that she start martial arts training immediately. And get used to skipping showers.

Hilton must serve the time in the same facility where Michelle Rodriguez served only two hours of her term for violating her probation stemming from a DUI charge in Hawaii. Paris was nailed for driving with a suspended license. The judge didn't believe a word of her testimony that she didn't know her license was suspended, noting that there was a notice of the suspension signed by Paris herself in the glove box of her car. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer sternly rejected Hilton's story that she did not knowingly disobey the law by driving while her license was suspended and ordered the 26-year-old socialite to report to a county detention facility on June 5, or face 90 days in jail. Hilton wept and her mother, Kathy, yelled at the prosecutor, "You're pathetic," as the packed courtroom cleared.When the verdict was read out in court, Paris burst into tears and mama Hilton went nuts, screaming at the prosecutor. Meanwhile, Paris' lawyer says they will appeal. The judge says she has to do 45 days: no ankle bracelet at home, no work furlough, no alternative arrangements. Perhaps Ms. Hilton will realize that she has to follow the law, just like everyone else? Oh please, you know that's not going to happen.

She whisked him away on a private jet and they shopped the afternoon away. Soccer star David Beckham received a birthday surprise from his wife Victoria Wednesday -- a $40,000 shopping spree. The Los Angeles-bound soccer player turned 32 Wednesday, and former Spice Girl Victoria made sure his birthday went off with a bang by whisking him from Spain on a private jet and taking him on a surprise tour of London's trendy Savile Row.Then, after all that shopping, they went out to dinner with almost all the former Spice Girls. You can see pics from the fun evening here. This is just such a Posh and Becks kind of birthday. Luckily, they had both already had their hair done the week before, so that left them more time to shop. But did Victoria eat even a tiny bite of birthday cake? We're thinking...no.

Former 90210 co-stars Jason Priestly, Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling loudly applaud Ian's every move during the April 30th competition.
But where is Shannon Doherty? Does she have no sense of 90210 loyalty? Or did Tori refuse to show if Shannon did? Now that we think about it, Shannon herself would make a great Dancing With the Stars competitor.

He's suing his dry cleaners for $67 million for losing his favorite pair of pants. The pants were part of his favorite suit that he wanted to wear for his first day on the bench. A Washington D.C. dry cleaners says its their business a long-time customer is taking to the cleaners. A $10 dry cleaning bill for a pair of lost trousers has ballooned into a $67 million civil lawsuit. Plaintiff Roy Pearson -- himself a local judge in Washington D.C -- says in court papers that he's been through the ringer over a lost pair of prized pants he wanted to wear on his first day on the bench. He says in court papers that he has endured "mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort.''This analysis is totally missing the point. All the new pants in the world can't make up for one special pair of trousers. Judge Pearson is being too generous with those dastardly dry cleaners. Clearly, they intentionally "lost" his pants as some kind of sick practical joke to ruin his first day at a new job. He should be suing them for $67 billion, not $67 million.
