Lindsay Lohan’s dad says he doesn’t talk smack in jail


Lindsay Lohan’s dad is striking back at reports that he bragged to his fellow inmates about banging Lindsay’s stunt double. An anonymous letter was sent to the NY Daily News detailing Michael Lohan’s annoying habit of talking about his daughter constantly and making it seem as if he will have all of Hollywood at his feet when he finally sees the light of day. Michael Lohan said that it’s not true, and that the other jailbirds are just jealous of his hot daughter and fabulous opportunities:

In a message apparently smuggled out of prison and mailed from Brooklyn, Michael Lohan was also portrayed as bragging about his sexual exploits (allegedly with actresses and one of Lindsay’s stunt doubles) and his supposedly fat producing contract with Paramount Pictures - but as never mentioning his three other kids.

“It just goes to show you that jealous people will go to any lengths to destroy a person’s character,” Lohan told me. “I would never discuss my children or my family or my business with individuals in here. I have absolutely no interest in anything other than mending fences with all of my children. … Mr. Poison Pen is a coward - probably one of the many rats that come through this institution with a price on their head.” Lohan added: “To my children Michael, Ali, Cody and Lindsay, I love you all as one in the same - and that’s all that matters to me.

Meanwhile Lindsay is said to be miserable since Harry left her, and is indulging in high-priced drinks she’s technically not old enough to be served:

Meanwhile, Lohan, 20, has been on a downward spiral since she split with Harry Morton. The other night, she was seen boozing at the Hollywood Roosevelt, which several months ago kicked out promoter Amanda Demme - who ran the hotel’s bars - for allowing underage celebutards to drink there.

But now that the bars are under new management, our spy says not much has changed: “Lindsay was drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking like a chimney, drowning her sorrows about Harry dumping her.”

Here are pictures of Lindsay on the night in question. She indeed looks quite drunk. But look - there’s a picture of Harry outside the very bar she was getting served illegally in. Did he visit her there? She’s got JBF hair - did he try to soothe her pain in the bathroom with a little breakup sex? Only the tabloids will tell.

Beyonce and Gwyneth Paltrow hang out, shop, get wasted


Beyonce and Gwyneth are new BFFs, and hung out together and partied in London for Gwyneth’s 34th birthday. They shopped, went to dinner, saw Jay-Z perform, and then hit a club afterwards. Gwyneth’s husband Chris Martin even joined Jay-Z on stage during his performance at Royal Albert Hall while Gwyneth let loose and sung backup.

Beyonce - in town with boyfriend Jay-Z - teamed up for a day of shopping and partying with Gwyneth (aka Mrs Chris Martin) to mark the blonde actress’s 34th birthday. The Destiny’s Child star’s latest solo album might well have made a suitable present, as its title B’Day would suggest. The pair shared a meal at Knightsbridge Japanese restaurant Zuma. Then it was a night at Movida for the aftershow party to mark the end of Jay-Z’s UK tour, which climaxed with a sell-out at the Royal Albert Hall. It was a relatively rare night out for mother-of-two Paltrow, but it was not the first for Beyonce, 25, whose stay in London has seen her clubbing and partying with her boyfriend.

[from Beyonceworld.net]

London’s The Mirror said that Beyonce and Gwyneth talked about music and babies at the after party, but they’re making that shit up and running a story based on the photographs:

Superstar Bey and Oscar-winner Gwynnie made unlikely showbiz pals but they appeared to be getting on famously as they nattered about everything from music to babies while they sat in the corner of the VIP room. Bizarrely, Gwyn refused to have her picture taken with husband Chris Martin, saying it would “make him angry” if they were snapped together.

Throwing caution to the wind, Gwyn then ditched her macrobiotic diet and tucked into one of her two strawberry birthday cakes.

But considering the number of singers in the room - Bey, Kelis, Martin, Pussycat Dolls - the Happy Birthday song was a bit poor.

But there was a lot of love in the house - proved by England defender Sol Campbell and Jimmy Choo owner Tamara Mellon smooching all night. Earlier in the evening, Jay-Z put on a jaw-droppingly good show as he took to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall. The historic venue was packed with fans loving the king of rap’s storming two-and-a-half hour gig, complete with orchestra.

He drove the crowd wild with hits including Hard Knock Life, Izzo and Fiesta, with side-kick Memphis Bleak.

Now a regular fixture at his shows, Beyonce got up on stage to perform their duets Bonnie And Clyde, Crazy In Love and Deja Vu.

And just when you thought the show couldn’t get any better - New York rapper Nas joined Jay on stage.

Later Coldplay’s Chris got in on the act and played piano while Jay sang Dead Presidents and Heart Of The City. But it was the impromptu appearance of Chris’s missus that got one of the biggest cheers of the night.

Grabbing the mic, Gwyn provided the backing vocals to Song Cry - and happily for the audience she managed not to blub her way through it this time…

They all obviously had a great time and enjoyed themselves on Gwyneth’s birthday.

Thanks to BeyonceWorld.net for these pictures.

Update: Jay-Z was the first hip hop artist to headline at Albert Hall. He will play Paris tonight and Milan tomorrow.

“Lightweight” in the image caption above is not a literal reference to either Beyonce or Gwyneth’s weight, and just refers to the fact that Beyonce is visibly drunk in the pictures, while Gwyneth just looks tipsy.

Lohan ruins her mom’s birthday, next night is rushed to hospital


Lindsay Lohan showed up late to her mom Dina’s birthday dinner and was loudly overheard telling her to “go to hell” before she stormed out of the restaurant. The two were fighting and screaming at each other, and after Lindsay was gone and the cake came out her mother burst into tears:

The two began cursing each other in front of other patrons in the crowded Chinese eatery, including Ryan Cabrera, Brandy and Serena Williams at nearby tables. “A mortified” Lindsay finally told her mother to “go to hell!” before she exited. After Lindsay left, Dina started “crying and shaking . . . Dina typed vigorously on her BlackBerry for 45 minutes while her friends were just sitting there, and when the birthday cake came out, she broke out crying again - even louder.”

(Reported by Page Six on Saturday, September 16, 2006. Permalink no longer available.)

The NY Post also suggests that Lohan’s mom is a coke addict. They say she went to the bathroom five times and was sniffling a lot. In true style, Lindsay was seen out partying with friends later that night. While she supposedly looked like she had been crying at one point, she still managed to go to a Calvin Klein party and to club Bungalow 8.

The next night Lindsay met with one of her all-too-freuqent mishaps. She “slipped” and fell at a Fashion Week party, fracturing her wrist in two places. She is considering suing Milk Studios, where the accident happened:

Lohan’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, confirmed to Access Saturday morning that Lohan had in fact fractured her wrist in two places after suffering a fall at the Milk Studios in New York, where she was for a Fashion Week week event.

According to Sloane, while walking in an outdoor area in flat Channel boots, Lohan slipped. Her driver took her immediately to St. Vincent’s. Her mom drove in from Long Island to the hospital (and has been with her ever since).

Sloane also tells Access Hollywood that “there’s a pending investigation,” because Lohan claims that Milk Studios didn’t take adequate precautions to cover the slick ground. A message was left for Milk Studios for comment on Saturday, but Access Hollywood was so far been unable to receive comment.

Sloane added that her client had been scheduled to go back to LA for movie meetings, and that her “lawyers are looking into” the situation because the accident may have affected her ability to work and attend some of the meetings.

It seems like it would be foolish for Lohan to sue the venue for slipping. She’s known for her clumsiness and it might come out that she was drunk and/or on drugs at the event. She needed stitches in her shin back in February after slipping on a flight of stairs and breaking a teacup. She was at British pop singer Ryan Adams’ house at the time and claimed that she was wet and slippery after taking a shower.

Here’s Lohan putting on a happy face after the huge blowout with her mom at the Calvin Klein party on Thursday. Her fake tan needs some work.

Lead singer of Jamiroquai beats up paparrazi that weren’t for him


Jay Kay, the bendy lead singer of Jamiroquai, put the smack down on a bunch of photographers waiting outside a London club. In a a drunken stupor he thought they were there for him, but it turns out they were waiting for Lindsay Lohan, oops!

Jay Kay, frontman for the once-popular band Jamiroquai, became enraged when he thought a throng of photographers waiting outside of a nightclub were there for him. Apparently Jay Kay thought it was 1996. As it turns out the paparazzi were there hoping to spot Lindsay Lohan.

Kay was arrested and let off with a warning. Details of the one-sided fight were released by the paparrazi, who can call themselves victims for once:

Jay Kay, the lead singer of hit music act Jamiroquai, has been released by police and let off with a caution after being detained in a cell for alleged assault.

The 36-year-old pop star was arrested in the early hours of this morning following a brawl outside the Kabaret’s Prophecy nightclub in Soho.

A Scotland Yard spokesman confirmed: ‘At 12:30 BST today a man, aged in his thirties, was given a caution for common assault and released with no further action to be taken.’

Kay is reported to have slapped one photographer outside the club before punching another three times in the head.

Alessandro Copetti, who works for the Matrix picture agency and witnessed the incident, described Kay’s actions as ‘vicious’.

‘Kay came out of the club, quite visibly drunk and just suddenly launched a vicious attack on us,’ he said.

‘He kept calling us ‘gay boys from the south’ and said he could take all of us on.’

TMZ has a video of the incident, but I could not get it to play.

Jamiroquai is due to put out their first release since the highly danceable “A Funk Odyssey” came out four years ago. “Dynamite,” perhaps a reference to Jay Kay’s explosive personality, (that sucked, I know) is due for release on September 20th.

Paris’ middle name is Lohitney and other DUI details


Oh Paris! Here’s a recap of the latest news about her thrilling DUI arrest.

  • According to her arrest report, Paris Hilton’s middle name is Lohitney and the cops were fooled by her green contact lenses.

  • Paris was due to host a party last night to promote her straight-to-DVD film “Bottoms Up” with co-star and Silent Bob sidekick Jason Mewes. Ironically enough, the party flyer included a note that the featured music artist would be perfoming his new song “Margarita”. Instead of showing up at her own DVD release party last night, Paris hit club Hyde wearing a black wig and baseball cap, which is the closest she will ever get to showing contrition.

  • Paris blew a .08 on the breathalizer, the lowest blood alcohol level that would warrant arrest. According to studies, a 137 pound woman would have to have 3 drinks in an hour to reach that level. Paris’ arrest report says she weighs 115 pounds, so that makes 2.75 drinks or something.

  • Paris told Ryan Seacrest in a call to his morning radio show that “maybe she was speeding a little bit,” but that she just wanted an “In ‘N Out” burger. She said that everything she does gets blown out of proportion and that it really hurts her feelings.

  • TMZ learned that it wasn’t Paris’ first run-in with the law that night. She was pulled over earlier for “some form of moving violation,” and it is unclear if she was ticketed.

  • Paris was at the Suicide Girls’ anniversary charity event before she got arrested, and they released a press release stating how great their party was and saying that Paris was too preoccupied with her Sidekick to get wasted.

    Gwyneth Paltrow enjoys wine and surfing


    I was going to add an “h” to the title, but figured everyone already knew that she was a whiner. People know she’s a wino too, as Gwyneth was spotted no less than two times imbibing in public during the late stages of her pregnancy with little Mortimer Moses. She now says she enjoys a little quiet time in her garden at night with a glass of Pinot Noir, the stuff made famous by the movie “Sideways”. There’s nothing wrong with that, and I’m just trying to spin it into something more controversial because there’s not a lot of news about Gwyneth, so don’t flame me:

    The Shakespeare In Love star gave up smoking and partying long ago and claims her only vice now is a nice pinot noir.

    “I used to have the odd cigarette at a party, but I don’t do that anymore, so that vice has gone,” she was quoted by Contactmusic, as saying.

    Paltrow treats herself after her children Apple and Moses are tucked into bed.

    “In the evening, when I’ve got both of them down, I come downstairs and pour myself a glass of red wine, and sit in the garden. I love it so much,” she added.

    Gwyneth was also spotted out taking surfing lessons of all things while on the beach in Cornwall near her in-laws place:

    Regular Cornwall vistor and world-famous actress Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted taking surfing lessons on a Cornish beach.

    During an hour long lesson, she learnt how to stand up on a yellow beginner’s board. Onlookers were surprised to see how quickly Gwyneth has regained her shape since giving birth to second son Moses, four months ago.

    Here she is outside her North London gym. A commentor on Lime-Light, where I found the pictures, notes that it’s the same gym Madonna goes to. Gwyneth looks great, her hair is gorgeous and there’s nothing wrong with a little wine. Hell I only have one kid and I enjoy imbibing in, uh, moderation.

    Paris Hilton arrested for DUI


    Paris Hilton proves yet again that she has the hardest working publicist in show business by getting arrested early this morning in LA for driving under the influence.

    Paris used the old “it was just one drink” excuse.

    TMZ has learned LAPD officers noticed Paris driving her Mercedes McLaren SLR erratically at 12:31 AM and stopped her. They believed she exhibited signs of intoxication. We’re told they administered a field sobriety test, and Paris blew a .08. In California, driving with a .08 blood alcohol level is the minimum level for DUI.

    Paris was arrested and taken to the LAPD Hollywood division, where she was booked. The officers who stopped the car did not know it was Paris Hilton until they approached the vehicle on foot. Police sources say she was cooperative. Paris had a passenger in the car — Kimberly Stewart, Rod Stewart’s daughter.

    Nicky Hilton, her boyfriend, “Entourage” star Kevin Connolly and her publicist Elliot Mintz arrived at the Hollywood police station just before 2 AM PST. A short time later, Paris was released on her own recognizance and allowed to leave.

    Mintz told TMZ that Paris had attended a charity event earlier in the evening as well as an Us Weekly magazine party. He said she had a single drink — a margarita — the entire evening and shortly thereafter she was stopped. She was asked to take a breathalyzer test when she was stopped and cooperated. She took a second test at the station.

    TMZ spoke with Paris as she was driving home from jail, stopping for Parliament Lights cigarettes en route. She says she “regrets it occurred,” and adds that she has been up for 24 hours, having shot a music video all day. Paris says she had nothing to eat and no rest the entire day.

    Looks like Paris isn’t going to cry her way out of this ticket. I’m sure this is as true as the story that some thief took off with all of Paris’ thoughtfullly chosen mother’s day gifts.

    Paris is never going to admit responsibility for driving drunk. It’s all because she works so hard, doesn’t eat, doesn’t have time to just slow down and spend her time shopping at Kitson like a normal heiress.

    TMZ has a video of Paris arriving home from the station. Her publicist comes out, gives the “one drink, she was tired” spiel, and reports that the breathalizer showed the “absolute lowest” reading that warrants being taken in. He does not get into specific numbers, though.

    Paris backed her car into a Honda in a parking lot in mid June, and claimed that the paparrazi were to blame for her poor driving. Now she has no one to blame but herself, but will surely never take responsibility.

    Mel Gibson’s son busted for drunk driving


    Mel Gibson’s dad is an anti-semite, and now we know that his son is a drunk driver too. Gibson’s son Christian, 24, was busted for driving drunk while at college last year and spent five hours in jail:

    Budding actor Christian Gibson, one of seven children of Mel and his wife, Robyn, was a student at the University of Colorado when he was pulled over by a cop in Boulder.

    A police report said the younger Gibson was spotted Feb. 7, 2005, at 1:55 a.m. making an illegal turn in his Chevy Blazer.

    The officer said a strong smell of alcohol came from the SUV, which was also carrying four passengers.

    “I saw Gibson had red, watery eyes and slow, slurred speech,” the officer said in his report. “I asked Gibson to step out of the vehicle and walk on the sidewalk.”

    The cop said the “Braveheart” actor’s son offered to perform “voluntary roadside maneuvers,” including placing a finger to his nose and walking a straight line.

    Allegedly unable to deliver on those promises, Gibson was promptly arrested. Cops searching his Blazer also found several shotgun casings, which Gibson said were left from a “hunting vacation.”

    Gibson, who had a starring role in the 2004 flick “Billy’s Day Out,” spent five hours in the Boulder County Jail. He later underwent residential substance abuse treatment at the expensive Cirque Lodge in Sundance, Utah.

    If inpatient substance abuse treatment is good enough for his son, who had completed treatment prior to Gibson’s arrest, why can’t Gibson check himself into rehab too? He must think he’s above that. Drunken arrogance must run in the family.

    David Beckham confirms that Victoria is pregnant (update: not true)


    David Beckham has said that his wife Victoria is indeed pregnant, as all the tabs have speculated:

    David just confirmed on the Spanish TV show Gente that his wife, Victoria, is indeed expecting their fourth child, Victoria hasn’t exactly been mum about her desire for a girl.

    David was asked by the paparazzi if Victoria was expecting and he said “Si (yes)” and smiled. Look for a news break shortly!

    In mid-August, Britain’s Daily Star said that Victoria was pregnant , but they may have been speculating. Victoria and David were open about trying for another child, and they are said to want a girl. They have three boys, Brooklyn, 6, Romeo, nearly 4, and Cruz, one and a half, all born by cesarean section. Victoria has said that if she has a girl she would like to name her “Luna.”

    Here are pictures of Victoria out with her girlfriends looking wasted on 8/22. Let’s hope she didn’t know she was pregnant at that point, and that she’s taking her fish oil now. Her body doesn’t look capable of holding up her head, not to mention nurturing a child.

    Update People Magazine is reporting that Beckham didn’t understand the question, and merely said “Si” when asked. Their rep says Posh isn’t pregnant:

    A source tells PEOPLE that Beckham, who plays for the Real Madrid soccer team, was signing autographs and simply misunderstood what the female paparazzo was asking. He thought she was asking, in Spanish, how Victoria and the babies are, when in fact was asking how Victoria and the new baby are doing.

    Despite the latest reports, Victoria and David Beckham are not expecting another child. “She’s not pregnant,” a rep for the couple tells PEOPLE. “It’s as simple as that.”

    Video of Tara Reid getting shut out of Hyde nightclub

    You may have seen this yesterday on TMZ, but I usually don’t view videos from their site because they launch a pop-up window, take a while to load, and have loud commercials before them. Here’s the YouTube version. Poor Tara Reid waits outside of Hyde nightclub while Paris and Kim Kardashian come bouncing by and are waved right in. Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis comes out and give her a hug and a kiss while she’s waiting at the front of the line with a dejected look on her face. She supposedly said “I’m so yesterday,” but I didn’t hear it with all the background noise. She’s also said to be drunk, but I vote for just a little tipsy. She was probably saving the rest of her liver for the remainder of the night.

    Unfortunately there’s no coverage of her being let into the club, but I hope for poor Tara’s sake it was just cut out for dramatic reasons.
