We have plenty of Lindsay news and pictures today. Lohan made her second appearance on Saturday Night Live this week. She first appeared on the show in May, 2004. Commentors on the bulletin board where we found the pictures noted that she was funny in a couple of skits, but that the dialogue was bad.

Here’s a video of one of Lohan’s skits on SNL. She plays the fictional hip-hop artist “ambience” in an MTV parody. Wait until the video loads and then move the bottom cursor to the middle because she doesn’t come on until halfway through, and the rest is not worth watching.

Here are screencaps of Lindsay on the show and arriving at the after party.

Britney Spears has met with Will and Grace producers to discuss an ongoing role in school-based sitcom, “Detention”:

Britney is said to be very interested and is looking forward to the project. We don’t think she can act, but it’s likely she’ll get the role anyway.

Meanwhile Britney is said to be pushing K-Fed to enroll in charm school, but he predictably doesn’t want to go:

You can’t change a guy, Britney, that’s why you don’t marry the guys you date in your early twenties.

Here are a bunch of different looks that Britney has sported recently, as shown on People Online. [via]

Kevin Federline and Britney Spears are reportedly fighting because KFed feels that Britney steals all the attention at events promoting his album. Both Star Magazine and Life and Style report that Federline feels lame because he can’t get any recognition on his own. The gossip rags have a similar take on Kevin’s promotional appearance at Club X in Dallas on April 1st.

Life and Style reports:

And Star says:

While Britney’s right about being the bigger star, she has mistaken ideas about where she should focus her efforts. She seems to think her forgettable drop-in appearance on Will and Grace is the beginning of an actual acting career:

In case you doubt these negative reviews, you can watch Britney’s “acting” for yourself. She is a bigger star than her husband - but she’s a pop singer, not an actress:

Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson, Nelson Muntz, Ralph Wiggum and Todd and Rod Flanders on The Simpsons got extremely offended by a minor veiled reference to Scientology written into The Simpsons and had it cut. Cartwright is a member of the cult of Scientology, and like Isaac Hayes she could always threaten to quit if her precious cult was satirized:

No one would dare cross Cartwright - she’s essential to the show as the voice of Bart and it would be impossbile to replace her. The Simpsons did kill off one character. Maude Flanders died when it was rumored that voice actress Maggie Roswell asked for a raise in 1999. The Simpsons’ cast also held a strike in the spring of 2004. It was resolved within a few weeks with a new multiyear contract, the details of which were not disclosed.

Scientology is such a powerful cult that they can dictate the plot of the worlds’ most popular and longest running cartoon series. That’s fucking wrong, and those people need to be stopped. The best way to counter Scientology is by learning about how ridiculous and exploitive it is and talking about it with people you know. It’s not a legitimate religion and it should not have tax free status in America.

Kate Beckinsale was the first celebrity Punk’d on this season’s premiere of the MTV prank show on Monday. She was out to dinner with her ex, British actor Michael Sheen, when a fat guy hit on her while he was away from the table. When Sheen returned, he lashed out at another man, believing he was the one who was bothering Beckinsale. It sounds like a typical episode:

That story about Kate Beckinsale being in talks to play Wonder Woman was a mistaken report based on an April Fool’s blog post. Site JoBlo.com ran a parody article stating that Beckinsale had been cast in the role and attributed obviously fabricated quotes to the director, like “I couldn’t tell you how many actresses…I’m talking married women here, promised to blow me left, right and center if I gave them the part.”

IMDB picked up the story and sourced JoBlo, changing the details so that Beckinsale was in talks for the role, but had not yet been cast. Then we all repeated it, believing it to be true. It made sense, considering that everyone speculated before the news came out that she was the best actress for the part.

Here is Beckinsale out in Santa Monica with her husband, director Len Wiseman.

On American Idol Tuesday night Simon Cowell told Ryan Seacrest to “lose the beard” in a veiled reference to his sham publicity relationship to Teri Hatcher. He got away with it because Seacrest had new facial hair, but he clearly was referring to Hatcher:

Cowell should not be picking on Seacrest. While Seacrest may be trying to hide his gayness, he’s not hurting anyone. Cowell is jeopardizing his current relationship and taking advantage of a young contestant. His constant flirting with 19 year-old Idol contestant Kellie Pickler has royally pissed off his long-term girlfriend, TV presenter Terri Seymour:

Last nights results show saw Mandisa, Paris, and Elliot in the bottom three, with Mandisa leaving for good.

Here are pictures from American Idol this week, including a visit from The O.C.’s Rachel Bilson and comedian Chris Rock and his family.

Onscreen and offscreen couple Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson filmed scenes at USC and were friendly to fans on campus according to a student who was there:

It looks like Seth runs into his geeky ex-girlfriend Anna while touring the campus. Anna is sure to mix things up for Seth and Summer’s relationship.

The OC’s creator, Josh Schwartz, admits that he’s having trouble figuring out what to do with The O.C. when the lead characters go to college:

The show could always follow the characters at university, which is the most logical thing to do. No one is going to want to watch it if most of the young cast is gone or replaced.

Here are Bilson and Brody on set at USC.

Hugh Grant watched a ton of reality TV in preparation for his role playing a reality show judge in the film American Dreamz:

His other quotes reveal that he’s not just joking around, and pays attention to the reality shows.

Hugh Grant isn’t the only one who feels guilty but can’t look away. He sums up reality television well.

Here’s Grant with Drew Barrymore on the set of their film, “Music and Lyrics By.”

Here are some more pictures of Tom Cruise’s appearance on one of Europe’s most popular television shows, Wetten Das. I did see this episode and have a recap as well as some screencaps in an earlier post.

There are two videos available from the German TV network that puts out Wetten Das, ZDF:

As we mentioned yesterday, we caught Tom Cruise’s appearance on the German show Wetten Das last night. There’s now a video up of Cruise losing the bet and riding a motorcycle on stage on the show. (Note: Cruise is wearing an earpiece which gives him an English translation of the host. The video is in German, but it’s easy to figure out what’s going on.)

The first four pictures are from the Wetten Das website, and the rest are our exclusive screencaps of the show (Ok, so I took pictures of the TV. I have a laptop that plays TV, but the thing is new and is not working yet), which reaired this morning. The kiss marks on the bottom of the screen in one of the pictures show the progress of the bet, in which two girls had to identify lip prints from their classmembers. Tom said that the girls wouldn’t be able to do it, and lost the bet since they were 4 for 4.
