Dina Lohan Sounds Off on Daughter Lindsay

What chance does a wayward child star have when his or her mother is seemingly delusional? In case you’ve missed it, Lindsay Lohan has been on a downward spiral in the most Britney Spears type of way. Lohan was Miley Cyrus before Miley Cyrus was Miley Cyrus. After a stint as a successful child model, Lohan starred in 1998’s Parent Trap and won the Young Artist Award and became a darling of Disney. Disney signed her to three more films and respected film critic Roger Ebert said Lohan had a “Jodie Foster sort of seriousness and intent focus” about her. … Continue reading

Untainted Hollywood

Just call her the anti-Britney… and Paris… and Lindsay. Fourteen-year-old actress Dakota Fanning is as pure as they come in Hollywood and the “Charlotte’s Web” star says she intends to stay that way as long as possible. Given the sordid tales of other childhood stars, who have been in and out of rehab several times before they could get their driver’s license, I would say Fanning has already far surpassed expectations. During a recent promotional tour for her new movie “The Secret Life of Bees,” the teen star made a pledge to refrain from holding up 7-11s, having premarital sex, … Continue reading

Pretty Girls Guest on “Ugly Betty”

They might be pretty on the outside but two big name divas preparing to make their debuts on ABC’s “Ugly Betty” this month have track records that call into question their inner beauty. First up: Supermodel Naomi “I-use-my-cellphone-to reach-out-and-touch-people-in-all-the-wrong-ways” Campbell. The former jailbird reportedly felt right at home on the fashion-friendly “Ugly Betty” set. But forget about how Campbell felt, I’m more interested in knowing how her notorious reputation preceded her on the job? Shockingly, nary a bad word was uttered about the diva’s guest stint. According to series regular Michael Urie, Campbell was “awesome” the entire time she shot … Continue reading

Beyonce Crossing the Line, Drew Foots a BIG Bill and Lindsay’s New Job at the Morgue

I suspect the TV ratings for this year’s Grammy Awards will surpass the numbers the Golden Globes got earlier this week. Not that they could get any worse… Despite the threat of picket lines by striking Hollywood writers, the Grammy Awards will air as scheduled on February 10th. But, unlike with the Golden Globe Awards, A-list celebs are saying they will appear for the music industry’s biggest night. Just yesterday Beyonce and the Foo Fighters announced that they will be performing at the annual music awards. Beyonce is nominated for record of the year and her rep says the “Bootylicious” … Continue reading

Hayden Panettiere Wanted in Japan and Lindsay Lohan Serves 84 Minutes

I have always said “Heroes” star Hayden Panettiere looks so sweet and innocent. After all, Dooney & Burke chose her to be the new face of their line of handbags. She just turned 18, but there is already a warrant out for her arrest – in Japan! The young star joined other activists near Taiji in southwestern Japan. The group, known as Save the Whales, were protesting and trying to prevent the killing of a group of whales and dolphins by fishermen. They used surfboards to paddle to the pod of dolphins to try to reach them before they were … Continue reading

Trump Tries To Save The Notorious Trio

Man, this guy never gives up. I have never read Donald Trump’s best-seller The Art of the Deal, but I’m guessing there’s a chapter in there about persistence. After getting slammed by Rosie O’Donnell upon inviting her to appear on the upcoming “Celebrity Apprentice,” Trump is at it again. Not with the former “View” co-host, rather the real estate mogul is going after a younger, blonder, shapelier set. The Donald recently told New York reporters that he is courting the infamous trio of party princesses that have most recently called rehab centers and jail cells home. That’s right; I’m referring … Continue reading

Lohan’s Divorce Finalized, Winehouse Postpones Tour, and Uncle Kracker Arrested

Lohan’s Divorce Finalized Thankfully, for the sake of their children at least, the Lohans have finally settled their long drawn out divorce and custody dispute. Aside from Lindsay and her 19-year-old brother Michael, they also have 13-year-old Alaina and 10-year-old Dakota. The Lohans were about to settle on an agreement in 2005, but that fell through when Michael was sent to prison for drunk driving. Despite all the fighting and arguing over the years, state Supreme Court Justice Robert A. Ross told Michael and Dina Lohan “You have both demonstrated to me extraordinarily good judgment in resolving this matter as … Continue reading

Divorce—-Hollywood Style

Well, here we go again… more divorcing couples in Tinseltown. This time it’s Christina Applegate’s split from husband, actor Johnathon Schaech that’s making headlines. Though, I’m not exactly sure why. Applegate’s credits include “Married With Children” and “Anchorman.” Oh, and she is returning to the small screen in “Samantha Who?” on ABC this fall. As for Schaech, other than a bit part in “How To Make An American Quilt” I’m not sure where he fits into the Hollywood mix. The pair was married for four years and they no children… so why is their split making the news? Perhaps it … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Making It Work

I may be jumping the gun a bit by saying that anything is working right in Lindsay Lohan’s life, but at the very least the likely-to-be-incarcerated actress has removed herself from a toxic environment—Hollywood. According to the latest reports, the 21-year-old has moved back in with her mom Dina in Long Island, New York… at least temporarily. There’s still no word on where the actress has been staying since her July 24 arrest for DUI, driving with a suspended license and drug possession. But, according to the New York Post, Lilo flew first class to Kennedy airport with her younger … Continue reading

Juicy Hollywood Tidbits – July 31, 2007

Al Gore III Pleads Guilty It has to be hard enough to have a child with an addiction problem, but to be a former Vice President and in the public eye must make it ten times worse. Al Gore III pleaded guilty to drug possession after his arrest earlier this year. He was pulled over while speeding down a California highway on the 4th of July. In his Toyota Prius, officers found prescription drugs such as Vicodin (for which Gore had no prescription) and marijuana. Gore, 24, has agreed to enter a residential rehab clinic to avoid serving any jail … Continue reading
