Lindsay Lohan went out partying after her failed drug tests

After TMZ (and other outlets) began confirming late Friday afternoon that Lindsay Lohan had tested positive at least once (probably twice or more) for cocaine and other drugs, you’d think that the crackhead would lay low, waiting out the storm. Not our Lindsay, though. She must figure that her ass is going back to jail or rehab, so she better go on a f-cking bender, get coked up and hit all the babies she can. After the testing-positive story came out, Lindsay tweeted her “pity poor me, I’m a crack liar and I got caught” message, then went out to dinner (photos above) with two “male friends” (dealers, or maybe johns). Radar notes that Lindsay and her dudes were “were smiling and laughing, without a hint of the serious situation Lindsay is in.”

Speaking of crack denial, Lindsay’s Inferno director Matthew Wilder still hopes that she’s going to do his Linda Lovelace bio-pic. Dear God…

Matthew Wilder, the director of Lindsay Lohan’s planned next movie, has admitted to RadarOnline.com that he was “stunned” to hear of his star’s failed drugs test. The result could cause the starlet to go back to jail for 30 days, and would have a devastating impact on Inferno, a biopic about the late porn star Linda Lovelace.

Wilder and the movie’s financiers have already held talks about the heavy insurance implications this could now have for the project. But despite the news, Wilder is still standing by Lohan.

“I am stunned at this news but our love and prayers go out to Lindsay Lohan at this time,” he told RadarOnline.com. “Hopefully we can work this out and we are still trying to get to the bottom of what has happened. For obvious reasons any talks with Lindsay and her representatives will stay confidential. It is a lot of pressure having the world watching you but she seemed to be doing well recently.”

Many insiders felt that Inferno was the last role of the dice for the starlet in Hollywood because of her well-documented personal problems.

Lohan will now have to go back before Judge Elden Fox who had made clean drug tests an absolute condition of her probation. Any “dirty” test, the Judge had said, would result in a 30-day jail sentence per violation. It remains to be seen if Lohan will be able to film Inferno if she is jailed once again.

Both Wilder and his producers hoped to begin filming around November and were just about to announce the lead actor to play opposite Lindsay before news of her failed drug test broke.

[From Radar]

Lindsay was already considered uninsurable before she tested positive… so what else could happen? Jesus. If Lindsay ever wants to work again, she’s going to have to front the money herself, probably from turning tricks.

By the way, after getting all coked up with those male companions on Friday night, she spent Saturday night all coked up at an AA meeting. Don’t believe me? Look at these photos at TMZ – Lindsay’s face is all “I needed a hit before I went to my AA meeting, so what?” F-cking bullsh-t. Also, TMZ has a story about Lindsay’s unnamed friends claiming that Lindsay now knows that she “truly has a problem.” Her friends say that “she’s beating herself up over this” and that she “feels like she just ruined all these really great opportunities that were coming her way.” Doubt it. She’s probably just as entitled and f-cked up as before.

By the way, as the story was breaking, Lindsay was driving herself to the recording studio in her new sports car, a white Porsche Cayman. She returned the Maserati after she clipped a baby.

Wyclef Jean says Sean Penn was too coked up to meet him in Haiti

Jean is not on the list of approved candidates who satisfy legal requirements to run in the country's Nov. 28 presidential election, an electoral official said on August 19, 2010. Picture taken August 13.   REUTERS/Sebastien Pirlet/Files (BELGIUM - Tags: ENTERTAINMENT POLITICS)

A few months ago, Wylcef Jean threw his hat into the ring to be a nominee in Haiti’s presidential election. Wyclef made major waves in America – he is perhaps the best-known Haitian in the American media’s mind, so he got lots of play. Unfortunately, in the end, Wyclef was ineligible to be a presidential nominee because of some regulations regarding residency – it seemed Wyclef had been living in new Jersey too long, and not Port-au-Prince. So just like that, Wyclef’s bid was over. And now it’s time for Wylcef to call out the haters.

Clef’s ex-Fugee friend Pras made an impassioned and well-spoken argument for why Clef shouldn’t be Haiti’s president, but one of the biggest cut-downs was made by Sean Penn, who sat down with Larry King. Sean has become something of an honorary Haitian, and has spent months working in Haiti post-earthquake. Here’s part of what Sean said after Wyclef announced his bid:

I feel that it’s important to say that while President Preval himself has made very clear the value of Wyclef’s voice as a song writer, as someone with whom the youth is quite enamored with, and appointing him, not as he said electing him, ambassador at large, which took place, in fact, three years ago, which does not qualify him as someone who has had residency for the five consecutive years necessary — but that’s an issue of rule of law that we will or won’t respect in our donations, or lack thereof, to campaigns abroad.

… I’m not accusing Wyclef Jean of being on opportunist. I don’t know the man. But I think it’s extremely important that we pay great attention to both the individuals in the United States who are enamored with him, maybe not for his political strengths, and in particular for corporate interests that are enamored with him, and those that may themselves be opportunists on the back of the Haitian people.

Right now, I worry that this is a campaign that is more about a vision of flying around the world, talking to people, as he said. It’s certainly not one of the youth drafting him… What the Haitian people need now is a leader who is genuinely willing to sacrifice.

And one of the reasons I don’t know very much about Wyclef Jean is I haven’t seen or heard anything of him in these last six months that I’ve been in Haiti. I think he’s an important voice. I hope he doesn’t sacrifice that voice by taking the eye off the very devastating realities on the ground and the very difficult strategic future that it’s got in putting itself back together…

[From CNN]

So it’s clear that Sean at that point had never met Wyclef, and probably had no interest in meeting him either. But now it’s Clef’s turn to give his side of the story for why they never met – apparently, it had something to do with Sean being a cokehead…?

“If I was president….I got a message for Sean Penn, maybe he ain’t see me in Haiti because he was too busy sniffing cocaine. I got a message for Praswell, even though you don’t want to support me, I got love for you, even though you only kicked eight bars in the Fugees.”

[From Gawker]

Clef is kind of a whiny little baby, right? It’s not Sean Penn’s fault that Clef didn’t meet the residency requirements. That being said, if Sean is a cokehead, it wouldn’t surprise me. At all.

The Pras dis was rough too, right? UGH. Clef needs to get a grip.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - AUGUST 19: Singer Wyclef Jean as he speaks with a journalist in the home he is staying in while he waits to hear if he is eligible to run for the November 28th presidential election on August 19, 2010 in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Haiti's electoral authorities are scheduled to release the list of the presidential candidates that can run in the November 28, 2010 election on August 20. There is 1.5 million people still living in tent camps and less than four percent of the rubble from collapsed buildings has been cleared since the earthquake, that killed some 200,000 people.

The Haitian hip-hop star and presidential hopeful turned to song on August 26 to accuse outgoing President Rene Preval of engineering his rejection as a candidate for Haiti's November election. Local radio stations were broadcasting a song by Jean in Creole in which he called for the jailing of electoral officials who last week disqualified him and for the first time directly blamed Preval for being banned from the Nov. 28 vote.

Paris tweeted, caught with purse she ‘borrowed’ w/ coke in it 6 weeks before arrest

fp_5624371_hilton_paris_fp6

Paris Hilton told the cop she stupidly (or deliberately, more on that in a moment) asked to hold her purse that it was borrowed from a friend after the cocaine dropped out. She later changed her story, by way of a “source” that told TMZ that Paris lent the purse to a friend, who put the coke in it and returned it with the drugs still in it, “setting her up.” The sleuths at Radar Online went through Paris’ Twitter account and found a picture of the bedazzled Chanel purse in question that she proudly tweeted six weeks ago, bragging about her purchase “Love My New Chanel Purse I got Today. :) ” They also found photos of her toting it in July in St. Tropez. So I guess that story that the purse was someone elses has fallen through. No wonder she tried to switch it up.

There’s suspicion that Paris Hilton set up the whole cocaine bust in an attempt to earn some headlines to compete with Lindsay’s incarceration. After all, she put the damn purse in the cop’s hands before the coke fell out. I don’t give her that much credit. I think that she just forgot the coke was in there and expected the policeman to act as her valet. It’s just a coincidence that she had her hair expertly styled with perfect makeup on before her mug shot was taken. She was in Vegas partying with her boyfriend and she usually looks put together like that. Here’s In Touch’s take on this story. They note that it’s the most attention Paris has received in years:

Though she probably could have avoided interaction with the police, the 29-year-old allegedly dropped a small bag of cocaine from her purse in front of attending officers – resulting in her arrest and subsequent charge with felony drug possession. In the report, Paris denied that the purse she was carrying was hers. But Paris seemed to encourage the sudden explosion of news coverage, despite the fact that she faces up to four years in the slammer.

Could Paris’ recent run-in with the law be just another attempt to reclaim the spotlight? Some media experts have publicly questioned her motives…

Once Hollywood royalty, she has fallen by the wayside while the likes of former friend Kim Kardashian, 29, are conquering the red carpet. “She has been plotting for a way to get back into the limelight, and getting arrested for cocaine is extreme but it worked,” a friend tells In Touch

[From In Touch, print edition, September 13, 2010]

I could be convinced that Paris saw an opportunity when the cops pulled her over and took advantage of it to drop drugs into their hands. It’s possible. I’m still thinking it was a stupid mistake, but she would also be stupid enough to think she would get off with a slap on the wrist. It might happen for her after all. We’ve heard that Paris is facing serious jail time for this latest incident, but it’s possible her charge could be reduced to a misdemeanor. If she’s charged with a misdemeanor instead of a felony she could get off with community service and a fine. It’s possible that the DA won’t throw the book at her after all. (Radar has more on that.) It’s thought that her lawyer is going to try and get her off on a technicality anyway. Cops didn’t ask for a blood test to verify whether she was on drugs and her lawyer may also argue that the search of Paris was not legal since it happened inside the hotel and not at the scene. It’s not like they had to do much to find the coke, though.

Lindsay Lohan in Vanity Fair: “I’ve never abused prescription drugs”

vf2

Ah, we knew this was happening, but it’s still interesting to see Lindsay Lohan on the October cover of Vanity Fair. VF just released some excerpts from their cover interview, and boy are they hilarious. Wait, did I say “hilarious”? I meant “creepy” and “Lindsay is a lying sociopath who will never take responsibility for anything.” Guess what, everybody? Lindsay has daddy issues! SHOCKING. She’s 24 years old and she still blames all of her problems on daddy, which, sure, whatever. Her dad sucks. But so do a lot of other dads. Oh, but wait – did I insinuate that Lidnsay has “problems”? I meant that Lindsay, in her own words, “never abused prescription drugs. I never have—never in my life. I have no desire to. That’s not who I am.” Sigh… it’s going to be a really long, cracked-out day, isn’t it?

“If I were the alcoholic everyone says I am, then putting a [SCRAM] bracelet on would have ended me up in detox, in the emergency room, because I would have had to come down from all the things that people say I’m taking and my father says I’m taking—so that says something, because I was fine,” Lindsay Lohan tells Vanity Fair contributing editor Nancy Jo Sales.

“I think everyone has their own addictions and hopefully learns how to get past them,” she says, in an interview conducted one week before her jail time began. “I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life.”

Lohan was visibly upset when she spoke with Sales about Ali’s presence in the courtroom, calling it “heartbreaking” to see her sister cry. However, Lohan feels conflicted about her father’s unexpected appearance at the hearing, telling Sales, “The worst part of it is you turn around and you see your dad crying and normally you’d be, like, happy that your father’s there. But then he has to go and do an interview right after.”

Sales reports that Lohan thinks her career is far from over. “I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress. … And I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible—but that’s what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes,” she tells Sales.

Lohan adamantly denies rumors of drug abuse, telling Sales: “I’ve never abused prescription drugs. I never have—never in my life. I have no desire to. That’s not who I am. I’ve admitted to the things that I’ve done—to, you know, dabbling in certain things and trying things ’cause I was young and curious and thought it was like, O.K., ’cause other people were doing it and other people put it in front of me. And I see what happened in my life because of it.”

Lohan blames her troubles, in part, on hanging out with the wrong crowd, Sales reports.

“So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving. I had a lot of people that were there for me for, you know, the party.”

And when she first moved to L.A., Lohan says, “it was very go-go-go and I had a lot of responsibility; and I think just the second I didn’t have [structure] anymore—I was 18, 19—with a ton of money and no one really here to tell me that I couldn’t do certain things … And I see where that’s gotten me now, and I don’t like it.”

She says tabloids were her main source of news, and calls that “really scary and sad… I would look up to those girls… the Britneys and whatever. And I would be like, I want to be like that.”

Sales interviews several paparazzi, and reports that Lohan often cooperates with them for a fee, though Lohan denies this.

“If I called her up right now and said I’ll give you $10,000, she’d come right down,” a photographer tells Sales. “Once you’re famous, there’s always a way to make money,” another photographer says. “She might not be doing what she’d like to be doing, but she’ll always be Lindsay Lohan.”

Despite everything, Lohan is confident in her acting abilities and future: “I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress.”

She says she’ll do whatever it takes to fix her party-girl image.

“I want my career back,” she said. “I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. It’s not fun anyway.”

The October issue of Vanity Fair will be available on newsstands in New York and L.A. on Thursday, September 2, and nationally and on the iPad on Tuesday, September 7.

[From Vanity Fair (additional quotes via HuffPo)]

So, what can we say in summary? Lindsay denies being a pillhead but not a crackhead, and she doesn’t mention my theory that she abuses prescription drugs, illegal drugs and alcohol all in conjunction. She’s been in rehab four times for no apparent reason other than daddy issues, and her life was destroyed because she was on her own in Hollywood when she was 18 years old and because she was making lots of money for showing up to clubs. That’s it, basically. Nevermind that she was living in the Chateau Marmont when she was 16 years old and that her mother – never the bad guy, right? – enabled every crackhead move she made for the better part of a decade. Ugh.

By the way, after careful crackhead analysis, I really do think Lindsay’s boobs are implants, judging her on this photo below. She must have gotten them done before she went to jail.

Here are some more pics of Lindsay not being a crackhead yesterday:

Paris Hilton’s defense: That isn’t my cokepurse!

Here is Paris Hilton’s newest booking photo. Looking especially wonk-eyed, I see. I imagine that as she gets more coked up, her left eye gets even more and more squinty. Anyway, Paris was arrested Friday night in Las Vegas on charges of possession of cocaine. Her lawyer David Chesnoff (Us Weekly says his name is “Chernoff” but I think they‘re wrong) released this statement on Saturday:

“Paris Hilton was released this morning on her own recognizance. This matter will be dealt with in the courts not in the media and I encourage people not to rush to judgment until all of the facts have been dealt with in a court of law. There will be no interviews and no more comments at this time.”

[Lawyer’s statement via Us Weekly]

TMZ also reports on Paris’s defense strategy thus far – apparently, Paris told the Vegas cops that the coke purse was not hers. So… yes, there was cocaine in the purse, but the purse was not hers, even though the purse probably contained Paris’s ID, and was probably sitting in her lap. This strategy still isn’t as good as Lindsay Lohan’s coke pants argument, as in “These pants that I’m wearing that have a vial of cocaine, they’re aren’t mine.” TMZ also has some grainy video of Paris’s arrest in Vegas. Also, Gawker pointed out something strange yesterday: while Paris was being arrested and briefly held in Las Vegas, someone was tweeting for her. Her Twitter feed has, like, no relation to what was actually going on at the time of her arrest. Weird.

Here’s Cy Waits, Paris’s boyfriend, who was also arrested. This is his mug shot. Can I admit something horrible? This guy isn’t bad looking. He’s definitely a step up, in the looks department, from that other douche, WhatsHisFace Budget Ryan Reynolds… Doug Reinhardt.

Paris Hilton arrested in Las Vegas on possession of cocaine charges

wenn2957791

Everyone knows that Paris Hilton is a cokehead, right? Well, now everyone knows. Paris Hilton was arrested last night for possession of cocaine. She was in Las Vegas, riding in a car being driven by a friend when the car was stopped by Las Vegas police. The police had notices that the car was leaving a “smoke trail” and they assumed people were hot boxing the car, I suppose. Officers found cocaine in Paris’s possession. Here’s more from the AP (via HuffPo):

Police arrested Paris Hilton on cocaine possession charges late Friday night after stopping the car she was in on a Las Vegas street, authorities said.

The socialite was booked into the Clark County Detention Center early Saturday on the cocaine charge, Las Vegas police spokesman Marcus Martin said. She was released before dawn on her own recognizance.

The 29-year-old Hilton was in a car driven by a friend when it was stopped about 11:30 p.m. MDT Friday after officers detected what they suspected to be marijuana smoke wafting from it, he told The Associated Press.

“Officers noticed a vehicle leaving smoke trail of a controlled substance (and) made a stop based on that,” Martin said.

During the stop, officers found what appeared to be a drug on Hilton and later tests showed that it was cocaine, Martin said. He didn’t know how much was found. He said Hilton was apparently recognized by passers-by and a crowd quickly gathered in the area where the vehicle had been pulled over.

Police watch commander Lt. Wayne Holman said Hilton released early Saturday morning. He didn’t know how long she had been held nor any details about a possible court date.

He said the man who was driving the car was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of drugs. But he didn’t have any other details, including his name.

Hilton’s manager didn’t immediately return AP calls for comment early Saturday. Her publicist, Dawn Miller, did not immediately return an e-mail message. The arrest came during a week in which a burglary attempt was made on Hilton’s Los Angeles home.

Officials said 31-year-old Nathan Lee Parada faces a felony burlgary charge in the Tuesday incident. Authorities have said that someone carrying two big knives banged on Hilton’s window. She posted a photo of the arrest on Twitter and described it as “scary.”

Hilton was arrested this summer after the Brazil-Netherlands World Cup match in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on suspicion of possession of marijuana. The case was then dropped at a midnight court hearing.

Hilton pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. After spending about 23 days in jail, Hilton told U.S. television host Larry King that the experience caused her to re-evaluate the role partying played in her life. She said she wanted “to help raise money for kids and for breast cancer and multiple sclerosis.”

While most famous for her tabloid exploits and reality TV series “The Simple Life,” Hilton has appeared in the films “Bottoms Up,” “The Hottie & the Nottie” and “House of Wax.”

[From HuffPo]

Yes, Paris was held and later released on possession charges in South Africa. Plus, there was something sketchy in Corsica in July too. Hopefully, these Las Vegas charges will stick and maybe we’ll get some kind of Lindsay Lohan-esque intervention? Probably not. By the way, when did possession of cocaine become such a light crime? Chace Crawford gets the book thrown at him for one (un-lit) joint, and Paris gets released on her own recognizance for cocaine? WTF?

Lady Gaga: “People who say they need drugs to be creative are full of sh-t”

gaga13

I really wish Lady Gaga would stop talking about drugs. I just get the feeling that she’s trying to sound a lot more hardcore than she really is. Like she’s trying to sound like she was some horrible cokehead, when really she was just a party girl with too much time. But at some point during her metamorphosis into “Lady Gaga” she began selling this story of a cokehead’s downward spiral and the subsequent redemption, all for her family and her music and her monsters. It’s a chrysalis story that Gaga has sold in interview after interview, probably because she doesn’t have a lot of new crap to say. She talked about it Vanity Fair. She talked about in Rolling Stone. And now she’s talking about drugs AGAIN in another new interview with Q Magazine (via Contact Music). We get it, Gaga. You used to do drugs. Now finish your new f-cking album.

Lady Gaga says her experiences with drugs helped inspire her music. The ‘Poker Face’ singer began using illegal substances after she dropped out of a music course at New York University in 2005, and she insists getting high helped her creativity.

The 24-year-old pop star said: “[Using drugs] I really figured out the art I wanted to make and was inspired. Some people find inspiration in dark places. I guess I’m one of them. What always made me different is that if I was doing drugs I was also making music. I wasn’t just doing drugs.”

The eccentric singer – real name Stefani Germanotta – also revealed her mother Cynthia didn’t understand why she felt she needed to take drugs and was confused by her early performances.

She told Q magazine: “At the beginning I was doing performance art in handmade leather and leopard bikinis talking about oral sex and Andy Warhol and heavy metal. My mom was like, ‘You’ve lost your mind.’ I was doing drugs, I was really out of control. But I never got so far into it that I overdosed or anything.”

However, Gaga is adamant she doesn’t need drugs anymore and has toned down her wild lifestyle.

She explained: “Once you open those doors they’re open for ever. People who say they need [drugs] to be creative are full of s**t. I’m not some chick on the road getting high and f***ed up every night. I wake up, drink coffee and get on the phone to talk about the creative direction of the next video.”

The singer caused a furor recently when she admitted in a magazine interview she occasionally took cocaine. She said: “I won’t lie; it’s occasional. And when I say occasional, I mean maybe a couple of times a year.”

[From Contact Music]

See? She does coke occasionally, and she’s able to keep it that way. Survey says: she never was an addict. She was just a chick who did coke because she was bored. And now she’s a chick who created this “Myth of Gaga” and can’t stop adding to it. I’m saying this as a fan too – Gaga has the potential to be a great interview. She’s thoughtful, she’s interesting, she has opinions and she’s well-informed (for a pop star). But she needs to stop talking about drugs.

Oh, Gaga did have stuff to say about Paris Hilton though. She was using Paris as a comparison to what Gaga was like growing up: “I don’t see Paris as an artist. People assume that all the girls who went to my school were like Paris and Nicky and the truth is that I went to a very, very religious school. Some girls were very artistic, some did drugs and didn’t give a f**k. It was like any other high school. Except we had nuns. I was the smart, studious theatre and music student. I didn’t hang out with all the popular blonde girls. I wasn’t blonde really until I was 20 years old.” Is this a burn? That Paris isn’t an artist? Eh.

Lindsay Lohan wants an apology, compensation for her misdiagnosed ADHD

wenn5516379

There was some Lindsay Lohan news here and there over the weekend, but nothing major. First, TMZ reported that Lindsay Lohan was denied the right to workout while in rehab, which is kind of sad. If the crackhead wants to use the treadmill, let her, for goodness sake. Also, Radar is reporting that Lohan’s lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley is trying her best to ensure that Lindsay gets out of rehab this week. But the big story – the one that is most interesting to me – is about Lindsay’s alleged “misdiagnosis” of ADHD. CB reported that last week – apparently, the doctors who are working with Lindsay at the UCLA rehab now think that there is no reason for Lindsay to be on Adderall, and that this attention deficit diagnosis may be the root of her crackhead problems. Well, Fox News has an interesting addendum to that story: apparently, Lindsay is so pissed off about the misdiagnosis, she wants a formal apology and compensation from the court system! Oh, you crackhead hustler.

According to Lindsay Lohan’s latest medical report from UCLA, the actress was not addicted to cocaine as once suspected. Instead, it is believed she was misdiagnosed as having Attention Deficit Disorder and given the prescription drug Adderall, which may be to blame for triggering her often bizarre behavior.

Now Lohan apparently wants some form of apology or compensation from the courts.

“Lindsay is fuming – she is really upset that the courts put her through all this,” a source close to the 24-year-old told Pop Tarts, referring to Lohan’s incarceration for violating terms of her probation for a 2007 DUI, and subsequent court-ordered rehab.

The insider said Lohan’s camp was “exploring its options.” But just in case you’re thinking about it, Linds, legal action against the courts is probably out of the question.

“No judge or prosecutor could be sued under these circumstances, they have absolute immunity,” explained Santa Monica-based Criminal Defense Attorney, Steve Cron. “Judge Revel formulated her opinion of Lindsay based on the information she had at the time from another program. The judge could still be dissatisfied with the report from UCLA and seek independent opinions or insist Lindsay be enrolled in other programs.”

Lohan has admitted to trying cocaine in previous interviews, and cocaine was found on her person when she was arrested for a DUI in 2007. Pop Tarts is told that the “Mean Girls” star is more concerned with her public image, and believes the courts should issue an apology. But now that Revel voluntarily removed herself from the case, after lawyers complained that she had contacted “participants and experts” involved without notifying the lawyers in advance, it seems Lohan has a better chance of making a smooth transition back into her normal life.

“It’s a good thing for Lindsay, the new judge won’t have any stake in going above and beyond in trying to prove that what they said originally was right,” added Cron.

So given that she now may be considered “insurable” to work on films thanks to her rehab’s medical conclusions, we’re told Lohan has been entertaining a string of movie offers since regaining access to her BlackBerry last week and is “excited” to get back to work and life. However, it remains unclear when she will be released from the facility.

[From Fox News]

Yeah… it wasn’t the “courts” who were forcing Lindsay to cut Adderall into her blow and snort it with a chaser of half a dozen vodka shots. From what we know about Lindsay’s doctor-shopping – extensive – it seems like Lindsay just wanted scripts for anything that was going to f-ck her up, and it didn’t really matter what it was. And if we’re going to be talking about public apologies, how about Lindsay issuing one on behalf of all of the wasted man-hours in legal time, police time, jail time, and so much more, all because she cracked-out ass couldn’t be bothered to see a real doctor, or actually go to a rehab facility that would really deal with her issues? After all, this is her FOURTH rehab stay – and apparently, this is the first time doctors have noticed that she doesn’t actually need Adderall. What the f-ck?

Tara Reid has officially “fallen off the wagon”

wenn5520552

Last week, the photo agencies were flooded with photos of Tara Reid being a drunken, coked-out mess in St. Tropez, allegedly. I mean, allegedly she was a mess, although the photo evidence is pretty strong! Anyway, the tabloids have gotten into it now, and In Touch Weekly claims that Tara is officially “off the wagon.” She was actually “on the wagon” for more than a year – a year in which she corrected some of her dodgy plastic surgery, posed for Playboy, and got engaged to an assman (er, Axtmann). But the engagement fell through, and I think that might have been the catalyst for this:

Just four months ago, Tara Reid was busy planning her wedding to German entrepreneur Michael Axtmann — and insisting to the world she’d left her party-girl days far behind.

“My life is totally different,” Tara, who went to rehab for alcohol in 2008, told In Touch in March. But sadly, that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. During a hard-partying week in St. Tropez, Tara relived the bad old days with a vengeance, staying out until dawn, acting out in public and, as one local reveals, “kissing a string of random men.”

No longer engaged, Tara, 34, seemed intent on living it up, and was spotted behaving like an out-of-control college student on July 28 and 29 at several different parties and clubs.

“Tara has been out every night this past week,” St. Tropez resident Lucy Richards tells In Touch. “She’s been at Nikki Beach during the day, drinking rosé wine, and then she’s been out drinking champagne and vodka until 5 a.m. at clubs in the port.”

Richards says she saw Tara “dancing on tables” and getting very affectionate with her ex-fiancé Michael — and others: On July 28, “She kissed a girl behind the bar — and almost every man who walked past her.”

The next night, local John Baptiste says Tara was “kissing Dennis Rodman in the VIP room of a club” and acting as if she was very drunk. “This is not a girl who has turned her life around at all,” he observes.

[From In Touch Weekly]

I’ve seen some people theorize that Tara and Lindsay Lohan have some kind of deal where only one of them can be a public crackhead at a time – Lindsay is in court-ordered rehab, so it’s Tara’s turn to party. It is strange how one went and the other comes.

Beyond that, it’s just kind of sad to see Tara relapse. I mean, yes, she’s doing it to herself, and I’m not drowning in sympathy here, but I do think she was doing better at one point. Unlike Lindsay Lohan, Tara is not a horrible, entitled bitch about everything, though. Tara just seems kind of dumb and like she enjoys partying. And hey, she’s never hijacked a car! Tara: 1, Lohan: 0.

Lindsay Lohan “models” for Marc Ecko, will not be weaned off her Adderall

blohan3

These are some new photos of Lindsay Lohan dressed as a whory ninja for Marc Ecko’s new ads, all of the images courtesy of TMZ. Sigh… Lindsay and her crack tittays. According to TMZ, this is all part of Marc Ecko’s “secret” campaign for Muse, which I guess is the new clothing line…? Perfume? Eh. If you’re going to hire a cracked-out mess for your photos, don’t want to see her crackface? A source tells TMZ that Lindsay was hired because she was someone “whom fascinated us — for better or worse.” Yep.

Speaking of her crackface, Lindsay’s lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley gave an interview to Radar about how Lindsay is totally NOT being “weened” off of her prescription for Adderall:

Lindsay Lohan is not being weened off the drug adderall, her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley tells RadarOnline.com exclusively.

We’ve also learned that Lindsay does not have a roommate but is interacting with a small group of other patients at UCLA Medical Center, where she is undergoing 90 days of court-ordered rehab.

“Ms. Lohan is not in a locked unit at the hospital. It’s a section of the hospital that treats normal people with various issues.” Holley told RadarOnline.com. “I was with my client when she was admitted to the hospital on Monday morning.”

Doctors are evaluating Lindsay’s prescription drug intake and will make the necessary modifications.

“Her doctors are looking at what prescriptions she is currently taking, whether or not the dosages need to be increased, decreased or stopped,” Holley told RadarOnline.com.

“Lindsay’s doctors are looking at everything she is taking, and determining what changes if any need to occur.”

Day-to-day life for Lindsay brings her in contact with a small group of patients, a source told us.

“Lindsay doesn’t have a roommate,” the source said. “None of the patients on the unit she is in have a roomate, but Lindsay is interacting with other patients. It’s a very small unit, and Lindsay will be receiving the best medical care while staying there.”

[From Radar]

Hm… she’s not in lockdown? That’s weird. Because I would have thought that if the court ordered her to be there and Lindsay wasn’t locked-down, she would already be at the bar doing tequila shots and snorting a heady mix of crushed Adderall, cocaine and biscuits. Oh, and Dina just told the paps that Lindsay is doing “fine.” Oh, stay tuned. The crack drama is coming.
