The NY Daily News reports that Lindsay Lohan has been showing up to work on time and has cleaned up her act since receiving that scathing letter from the CEO of the production company running the film she’s starring in, “Georgia Rule”:

Someone close to Lindsay called the Daily News and planted this story. She needs to do serious damage control after everyone saw firsthand how she lives in messy luxurious, drunken squalor and parties with her mom.

This could be true though. There seem to be less pictures of Lindsay out and about. She’s staying in surrounded by thousands of dollars worth of scattered fashion and snorting coke with her mom at night.

Here is Lohan on a a photoshoot for In Style magazine in Hollywood. Found at France-vidcaps.org via JJB.

Here’s poor little rich whore Lindsay Lohan on sitting on a mattress at the Chateau Marmot surrounded by luxury goods while sipping on a bottle of Jack Daniels and wearing a fur coat. There’s even a pile ‘o coke and a little silver spoon visible in the background. Pictures are, obviously, from Perez Hilton.

At least Lindsay does her fur-wearing behind doors.

These aren’t too scandalous, considering that Lindsay was photographed with a bong in the background in photos that came out a few months ago.

The Sun claims that Lindsay wasdenied VIP tickets to an upcoming Justin Timberlake concert because it’s feared she’ll get wasted and make a spectacle of herself. I would say I doubt that’s true, but given these pictures I’m more apt to believe it.

Hey, does Christina Aguilera have a new album out? She seems to be everywhere lately. The NY Times says that “Back to Basics,” Aguilera’s new double album, is half-good half-bad. The lyrics reveal XTina’s fight to stay at the top and are an attempt explain to the world why she looks like a blowup doll and is such a pain in the ass:

In this interview on Good Morning America yesterday, XTina tells the same old childhood abuse story as if she’s practiced it for ages. She seems genuinely excited about her new album and how she craftily copped it off the jazz greats of the 30s and 40s, though. Somewhere underneath all that arrogance and makeup she really does love music.

She also reveals that she gave Britney a basket of gender neutral baby gifts when she heard she was pregnant, and that Britney sent her a crystal vase and a crystal drink bucket as a wedding present.

Thanks to ONTD for the video link. Also thanks to readers Karen and Jess for letting me know that I fell for Aguilera’s sob story in an earlier article I posted about it.

Here is Aguilera leaving the Koko club on an unknown date in a see-through dress. I think I’ve seen these before, but maybe that was a different sheer black dress. Even totally wasted, Aguilera manages to keep her lipstick and makeup perfectly applied. Maybe one of her minions helps her with that. [via]

Mel Gibson might have sought treatment in an inpatient facility and checked out, he might be getting some sort of addiction therapy as his publicist claims, or maybe he’s just laying low and hoping this whole mess will blow over. Whatever Mel is doing, he’s not in rehab:

Mel doesn’t care. Maybe he didn’t go to rehab because the philosophy of recovery contradicted his freaky cult religion. It could be possible that he figures his career is over anyway and just doesn’t give a shit.

Have you seen the best Mel Gibson political cartoons we posted? They’re priceless. I hope one of the artists now tackles Mel’s lack of commitment to rehab.

Here are some of the pictures from Mel’s famous night out that you’ve already seen.

Nicole Richie has been seen out with toned legs, suggesting she’s been eating a little bit and using the leg press at the gym. She’s also been photographed with two different mystery guys, one semi-hot and one weird.

Now comes news that she got wasted at a party with an out of control Mary-Kate Olsen and proceeded to puke all over the floor. Nicole didn’t miss a step, though, and continued right on as if nothing had happened.

At least have the decency to go into the bathroom to puke. The few times in college I drank to the point of no return I somehow managed to make it into the bathroom in time. Of course I had more body tissue to absorb all that booze. Nicole probably has the alcohol tolerance of a child. (I was going to say toddler, but thought that sounded sick.)

Here is lovely Ms. Skin ‘n Bones filming a segment with Tyra Banks for her talkshow. Commenters on JJB note that her head looks huge and it seems to be “carrying all 80 pounds of her,” that she’s “gonna have so many health problems in a few years,” and that “she’s already bald.” What with drinking so much and not eating, it’s not much of a stretch to think she’ll have health problems. At least she gained a smidgeon of weight.

Thanks to Hollywoods Best for these pictures.

Kate Moss and Pete Doherty are back together, at least for now. I haven’t kept up with troubled Pete like I should, but he had a chemical implant put in his stomach to help him kick heroin and was said to have tried to go to rehab again for like the tenth time.

Whatever he’s done, it worked well enough to help him get back together with the love of his life, waif supermodel Kate:

Kate has plenty of substance abuse problems on her own. While she may have kicked the hard stuff, she still knows how to drink like a fish. She royally pissed off her friend, Jade Jagger, by getting wasted and running up a nearly $10,000 hotel bill in Amsterdam. She stuck her surprised hosts, The Rolilng Stones, with the tab. She offered to pay after leaving the country, but the damage was already done.

[Thanks to Random Human for the tip]

Guess Kate and Pete kind of deserve each other.

Kate wasn’t with Pete in these pictures taken at the wedding of Primal Scream star Bobbie Gillespie on 7/29. She seems to have brought a long-haired bearded guy as her date, or that might just be someone she’s hanging out with at the party.

Update I just have to mention that this is the fourth time I’ve been able to use that “reunited” header picture! lol

Tara Reid squeezed some hapless bearded man in between her ankles while out for a swim. She might have been on vacation from her life of drinking and showing up at events, but it was probably just a day at the beach since she was seen at an X-Games kickoff party on 8/2.

The Chic Mommy has an hilarious Tara Reid interview, in which she says her “hooters are under control.” They were making most of it up though. Sky.co.uk had the original from an FHM interview back in February, and it has some real gems:

Yeah, you heard that already, I know. Poor Tara hasn’t got a chance.

The girl’s face looks like wax, but she’s actually quite pretty when she cleans up. Tara serves as a good example for why one should stay off the juice.

Gallery of the Absurd has this fabulous new Mel Gibson bumper sticker. If they would create actual bumper stickers like this, they would sell out.

The pictures of Mel partying it up before refusing a ride home, getting arrested and going apeshit have come out. He looks every bit the aged, washed up bigot.

Mel also said back in the day that he hates gay people, and that he’s such an asshole because he’s a closet case:

He really must hate himself most of all for ruining his posh lifestyle making obscure vanity films.

People are pointing out that if Roman Polanski violated a 13 year-old girl and got his career back after fleeing the country, Mel can too. It took Polanski over twenty years. In Mel’s case, he can probably put his extreme bigotry behind him in about ten.

Maybe he should just invest his money or go into real estate development.

Everyone was saying that Mel Gibson’s career was over after he was caught defaming Jewish people during a DUI arrest. It was assumed that he would go on some sort of unspoken industry black list.

It’s gone beyond passive-agressive whispers and shunning. People are so pissed that they’re calling for an all-out boycott of Mel:

The arresting officer, a Jewish guy with 17 years on the force, is contrite about the whole episode, and insists that he doesn’t want to ruin Mel’s career. Mel did that all on his own.

Meanwhile those stupid women on “The View” are trying to remain relevant by saying that they don’t want to see any more Mel Gibson movies. Countless people undoubtedly agree with them.

The U.S. Jewish Anti-Defamation League has said his colleagues should “condemn him and distance themselves from him.”

And it gets even better - it’s come out that several people offered Gibson a ride home that night and he refused.

Gibson has checked himself into rehab in an effort to do damage control, but the damage is extensive and it’s already done. He’s richer than sin, and unless Opus Dei has taken all his cash he should sit back and enjoy his millions while waiting for this to pass. Maybe he should get some sensitivity training, too.

Now that the news is out that Mel is a royal jerk, the LA County Sheriff’s department figured they may as well release his mug shot. The long beard is gone and he doesn’t look half bad for a drunken bigot.

It’s a shame there’s no Nick Nolte style mug shot to include with this story, but uber-religious Catholic cult member Mel Gibson was arrested for drunk driving on Friday after supposedly being sober for years. He had a bottle of tequila in his car, and said it wasn’t his but he’d “had a little bit” (that’s classic!)

TMZ also has details of a police cover-up to remove inflammatory details from the original report. When he was first arrested, Mel Gibson went off on Jews, saying they were responsible for all the wars in the world, and told the arresting officer repeatedly that he was going to “fuck” him. He also tried to run away when the cop did him a courtesy by not cuffing him.

Once he was in custody, he tried to unzip his pants to pee on the floor of his holding cell!

Gibson was obviously distraught over the illegal unprovoked war on Lebanon that’s killed countless innocent civilians. Israel is responsible for a high percentage of wars, but then again so are the Americans. There’s that whole imprisoning an entire country thing that Israel’s doing, too. It’s not the Jewish or American peoples’ fault, though, just their terrible leaders.

Gibson was pulled over for drunk driving twice before and let off with just a warning.

Mel Gibson is a member of the Catholic cult, Opus Dei, which tried to escape the terrible image it was given in the Da Vinci Code, and calls their portrayal inaccurate:

The only other famous person I’ve heard of who was a member of Opus Dei was FBI spy Robert Hanssen, who rigged up a secret room in order to let his best friend watch while he had sex with his wife.

Gibson has since apologized for his behavior, saying that he “acted like a person completely out of control,” that he “said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable,” and that he was “deeply ashamed.”

It’s too late for Gibson, because everyone’s suspicions about him have been confirmed. Now that their highest profile member has been exposed for the jerk he is, Opus Dei is going to have even more problems with their image. Mel Gibson’s going to have quite a hard time making his weird religious movies too.
