It’s not like it’s a big secret that Lindsay Lohan’s life is a big mess. She was in rehab three times last year (and rumors continue that she still indulges), she publicly fueds with her father, her new album is MIA, and she hasn’t had a decent movie since 2004.
Apparently, the news got through to Lindsay, and she’s decided to try again:
“I have goals and I’m working to achieve them… I know peopel would’ve have gone to see my movies if I didn’t make them laugh or make them cry. I think it’s a matter of finding the right thing. I’m sure my first thing back might not be that, but eventually it will come. That’s what this business is like. It builds you up to take you down and then sees how far you can come back. I don’t really worry, though. I’m a fighter. I’m up for a challenge and I won’t settle.”
Please, Lindsay — for you own sake, live up to your words.
Now that her life is turned around and she’s got a book in the works, Jodie Sweetin is ditching her husband.
The Full House child star filed papers Wednesday for legal separation from Cody Herpin, according to People.com. Sweetin had said previously that Herpin helped her kick her meth addiction and was a “blessing” in her life. The two just had had a baby girl, Zoie, in April, and were planning a reality show together.
Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey yesterday in one magnificent run-on sentence. Afterward, she was interviewed by MSNBC while turkeys were slaughtered in the background.
Yes, for real!
MSNBC kindly blurred out the gory details, but you see a farm employee at work in the background and definitely hear what’s going on. Watch only if you’re up for it.
“I’m sure we’ll get criticism for this… but at least it’s fun!” Palin says happily before announcing she’ll be cooking one of the unpardoned turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner.
Following the election of Barack Obama — who will be the first black American president — current James Bond actor Daniel Craig said he thought it was probably time for a black Bond, too. Jamie Foxx has kindly volunteered to take the role.
While talking to Access Hollywood, Foxx said he’d inject his version of Bond with some new personality traits:
“I’d put a little swing in it. A little hip-hop, you know. Maybe not drinking martinis, but drinking some Hennessey maybe. Bond would drink dark liquor.”
Does this bother anyone else? I think a black James Bond would be great, but I do object to a total personality renovation.
Elvis Presley toured with Tom Jones during his career, but one time in Vegas he took their friendship further. Jones told British talk show host Graham Norton about an incident that left him a little unnerved:
“[One] night, I’ve come off stage and Elvis is in the dressing room. He said, ‘Tom, I’ve got a song for you’ and I said, ‘Okay great, but I gotta get in the shower,’ I’ve perspired so much. So I’m in the shower, and the water’s coming down and then I hear [Elvis singing]. I was thinking I’m going bloody mad here, because I can hear Elvis Presley singing in the shower! Then I opened my eyes and he’s leaning over the door!”
I had this happen to me once, too, so I understand how uncomfortable it can. Sure, it wasn’t Elvis — it was the girls on my dorm back in college, singing Happy Birthday at 12:01 a.m. with only one of those cheap plastic curtains in between — but either way it isn’t something I’d forget.
Oprah may need to increase her security detail for her upcoming Favorite Things show, because this year, she’s doing the low-cost version… her favorite things that cost very little.
Can you imagine how unhappy the audience is going to be? Seriously… watch the clip below, and then try to picture Oprah telling the screaming mob that they’re getting stuff they could find all by themselves at the Dollar Store. They’re going to turn on her…
Last night was the Mango relaunch party in Soho, and it was an eclectic group that showed up. Monica Cruz was an expected guest, since she and sister Penelope modeled for the brand, but less expected were Richie Rich, Ashley Olsen, and Dakota Johnson.
I’m sure Dakota’s now on the PETA hit list… that luxurious fur was definitely not fake.
A day after Paris made her split with Benji Madden public, little sister Nikki took her out to Mr. Chow’s in LA for dinner. Nikki didn’t look too thrilled to see all the paparazzi, but it helping her sister through a tough time was worth it.
Aww, congratulations to Ashlee and Pete! They just welcomed home their baby boy, Bronx Mowgli Wentz yesterday. Ashlee gave birth at Cedars-Sinai Medican Center in LA, where Bronx weighed in at 7 lbs., 11 oz.
Their spokesperson told People.com, “Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!”
Kristen Stewart says the reason thousands of girls and women are fawning over her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson is that he’s a “tortured artist:”
“Oh, he’s like a little tortured artist. He’s British. He’s tall. He always looks like he’s thinking about something. And he’s quite witty. So he’s pretty sexy.”
Is that why you like him? And are you still a fan after seeing the film last night?!
Madonna and Guy Ritchie have formally been granted a divorce by London’s high court. That means they’ve also come to a financial agreement and decided custody of the children. In six weeks all the paperwork will have been processed, and the two will never have to see each other again (except on magazine covers — I doubt that will change soon!).
The movie hasn’t even shown yet in the U.S., but Twilight’s Robert Pattinson has been named Moviefone’s hottest male movie vampire of all time. That means he beat out the attractive likes of Antonio Banderas, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Gerard Butler, and Kiefer Sutherland.
Only one of Twilight’s female stars made the top ten list of hottest female vampires — Nikki Reed came in at #6.
Cute mama Jennifer Garner procured a restraining order against stalker Steven Burky earlier this month, but still fearing for her little family, Jen got a permanent order this morning. It means that for the next three years, Garner is absolutely off-limits for Burky.
The stalker first contacted the star six years ago, pretending at different times to be a college student and a punk rocker. Burky has claimed to have visions concerning Garner, and is currently under involuntary psychiatric hold in LA.
Emily Blunt broke up with singer Michael Buble four months ago, supposedly because their three-year relationship couldn’t handle the stress of two very different work schedules. Blunt has moved on, however, and according to Star magazine the actress is now dating The Office’s John Krasinski.
The couple made time for each other earlier this month, taking a vacation to a Santa Barbara ranch. A source told Star, “They ordered room service, took long walks and spent every second together. John really cares for Emily — he totally fawns over her. And she’s loving the attention. She’s a down-to-earth girl, but it’s nice to be treated so well.”
I know Emily’s not really that horrible girl from The Devil Wears Prada, and I know John isn’t really dating Pam Beasly… but this situation makes me uncomfortable just the same.
