Lindsay Lohan Squares Off with Judge, Volcano

May 18, 2010


The judge in Lindsay Lohan’s DUI case wants her a$$ in court. The problem? She’s in France and the Icelandic ash cloud may mean her return is no Cannes do.

Lohan’s presence is required in court on Thursday for a hearing to establish if she is in compliance with the terms of her ongoing probation for a DUI conviction.

It had been unclear whether Lindsay was required to be there in person. The judge said she is. If she’s not there, a bench warrant could be issued for her arrest.

Following a pair of DUI arrests in 2007, the 23-year-old was ordered to complete an 18-month alcohol education program or serve a suspended jail sentence.

Whether she’s complied with this is highly debatable.

Crazy Lindsay Picture

Life is grand in Cannes for train wreck Lindsay Lohan.

Reports say Lindsay has slacked hard core when it comes to attending mandatory classes (partying like a madman won’t help her cause) and may end up jailed.

Clearly living in denial, Lohan flew out from New York on Friday and arrived in Nice, France on Sunday for the Cannes Film Festival. How long will she be there?

That may depend … on Mother Nature. Sources say she can’t get a flight to the U.S. because of the volcanic ash from Iceland hampering European airspace.

Airports all over the continent are jam-packed and it’s impossible to get a seat. Wonder how the volcanic ash excuse will play before LL’sa no-nonsense judge.

Bristol Palin to Give Speeches For Money


Bristol Palin recently said life is really hard as a single, working mom.

Such is life. But it’s about to become more lucrative for her, at least.

The 19-year-old daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is set to join the speaker circuit and make between $15,000-30,000 per speech, reports say.

Amazingly, this implies there are people willing to pay that amount.

“Her teen pregnancy and the birth of her son Tripp resulted in millions of Americans discussing the issue of teen pregnancy,” reads her Single Source Speakers bio.

Oh, to be a struggling new mother … giving your infant son a bath and collecting five-figure checks from In Touch Weekly and the like on a semi-regular basis.

Bristol Palin has since gone on to become a Teen Ambassador for the Candie’s Foundation, and speaks about pregnancy prevention, abstinence, faith and life.”

In addition to posing for magazines, Levi Johnston’s baby mama has become an hypocritical advocate for abstinence since welcoming Tripp 16 months ago.

In a People cover story a year ago, Palin warned teens about how hard it is to be a teen mom. “Girls need to imagine and picture their life with a screaming newborn baby and then think before they have sex … Think about the consequences.”

She said the same in her teen pregnancy PSA for Candie’s.

Elin Woods Goes Back to School!


If Elin Woods’ goal is to start a new life as she prepares to divorce Tiger Woods, she’s doing a good job – she’s enrolled in a course at Rollins College in Winter Park, Fla.!

She’ll be taking Divorce Law 101 and Triumphing Over Adversity 302 … just kidding.

The school is just outside of Orlando and is a small private liberal arts college. Before meeting Tiger Woods, Elin Nordegren attended Lund University in Sweden.

Her decision to go back to school came after a conversation with one of the fractured family’s nannies, who revealed that she was enrolled in classes at Rollins.

That prompted Elin Woods to explore taking a summer class, starting this week.

TIGER WHO? Elin Woods is moving on with her life.

Leaving the children with Tiger (the nannies dropped them off, as they’re not on speaking terms) Elin arrived in plenty of time for her 6 p.m. class yesterday.

Before marrying Tiger, Elin wanted to become a psychologist. Maybe she could pursue the field again … we know of one depraved guy with plenty of issues.

She also did modeling. Suffice it to say, she was not bad looking then (not that she is now, just more clothed). Check out our gallery of Elin Woods pictures!

The truth about Matt Lauer’s marriage

Matt Lauer may be in turmoil over the rumors surrounding his personal life, but his friends at the Today show have his back. Amidst whispers that the journalist and his model wife of 11 years, Annette, have split, his NBC news program co-host Al Roker defends his pal. “He’s a wonderful husband. He’s a great dad. He is everything that you’re supposed to be. The fact is that we all know that everything is fine,” Al told In Touch at the American Ballet Theater Annual Spring Gala in New York on May 17. Reports claimed Matt had moved out of the family home he shares with his wife and their three children after Annette had accused him of cheating while covering the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, earlier this year, but Al called them “spitballs off a battleship.” The couple has also denied all accusations.

Survivor: Is the game flawed?


Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains has been described as the most cutthroat chapter in the show’s history, so of course it came down to a trio of villains in the end. After the vote, Sandra Diaz-Twine took home the $1 million prize, perhaps because she was the lesser of three evils — which seems to prove once and for all that it’s a social game above all else, despite third place finisher Russell Hantz’ objections. “He’s been saying it all day: ‘Sandra winning is proof that the game is flawed,’” Sandra tells In Touch. “I’ve played twice and won twice. But he’s played twice and still come up short. After his first time, he came out and played the same game. That’s a strategic player who doesn’t realize there are errors in his game.” And Parvati Shallow, who came in second, agrees. “Russell is just making excuses for losing two times,” she tells In Touch. But Russell, who will likely go down as the most villainous Survivor player ever, points out that America called him the best. “I’m good at the game,” he tells In Touch. “I could play it again and I’d go to the finals again.”

Twilight Director Warns: Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene Really Might Get Fired


While Twilight Saga fans are gearing up for Eclipse, their excitement these days is tempered by a disturbing report:

It’s possible neither Kellan Lutz nor Ashley Greene will appear in the second Breaking Dawn movie.

As previously stated, both these stars are holding out for a significant raise if/when the final film in the franchise is broken into two. This is more than a rumor, as Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke doesn’t doubt Summit Entertainment would replace the leads if pressed.

She also blames outside influences for getting Lutz an Greene to this point.

Kellan Lutz as Emmett CullenThe Greene Machine

“Ashley and Kellan have agents, managers, lawyers… you get all of these outside influences telling you you should hold out for this much because you’re such an important part of the franchise,” Hardwicke told Us Weekly. “It could turn ugly. Do [these actors] deserve more money? Probably they do, on one level. But if everybody make so much money then… it’s complicated. What a mess!”

A huge mess, indeed.

Fortunately, even if Lutz is out of the franchise, he has a bright, HOT future as an underwear model. See for yourself.

Lawyer: Delonte West Not Putting it to LeBron’s Mom


LeBron James’ attorney has fired off a cease and desist email in response to the disturbingly rumor that LeBron’s teammate Delonte West is nailing his mom.

The email to terezowens.com – the sports blog that first reported on Friday that LeBron’s mother Gloria was allegedly sleeping with Delonte – was rather curt.

In it, Frederick Nance, attorney for LeBron and Gloria James, says the West rumor is “categorically false and per se defamatory.” Eh, probably a little of both.

Nance adds, “No thinking person could possibly believe such rubbish.”

The report, which also spread as a viral email, was supposed to explain the Cleveland Cavaliers’ sorry Eastern Conference Semifinal loss to the Boston Celtics.

Gloria JamesLeBron James and Delonte West

Rumors of a Gloria James-Delonte West affair surfaced after Cleveland’s elimination from the NBA playoffs. But is there anything to this other than salacious gossip?

The theory went like this: LeBron found out about Delonte West putting it to his mom before Game 4. LeBron was despondent and the Cavs lost Games 4-6.

Absurd, right? Probably … although someone still buys it.

Interestingly, terezowens responded to TMZ regarding the email it got from Team LeBron: “We think it’s a little fishy they waited almost four days to fire this off.”

They say they stand by their source, and they’re consulting with their own lawyers. The LeBron-Gloria-Delonte story is still up on their site … at least for now.

No Girl-on Girl Action for Christina Aguilera


In a pair of recent statements, Christina Aguilera let down two different groups of people:

  1. Those that clamor for a Christina/Laday Gaga feud.
  2. Those that wish to see Christina have sex with a woman.

First, Aguilera took to her official blog and, once and for all, shot down talk that she and Lady Gaga are remotely at odds. She wrote:

I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus and I have nothing but respect for that. There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods.

That’s reasonable, mature… and boring.

Getting Her Lick On

From there, in a new feature in Out magazine (click on pics below), Christina was asked about hooking up with a female. She replied:

“I don’t think I could ever really be with a woman because… there’s a lot of estrogen and I’m a lot to deal with when it’s that time of the month, so I can’t imagine it times two.”

That’s also reasonable, mature… and boring. We thought Xtina was edgy! But now she’s refusing to go gay and coming to the aid of Haitian refugees. It’s just so sad.

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Perfect 10s A-Flyin’


The Dancing with the Stars judges doled out many a 10 Monday, as Nicole Scherzinger and Evan Lysacek each pulled in perfect scores and Erin Andrews close.

Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger earned a 30 on her Tango, and a 29 on her Cha Cha for a 59. Evan Foxtrotted (30) and Paso Dobled (29) his way to a 59 too.

Erin Andrews nearly achieved perfection with her own Paso (29), only to have Bruno call out her partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy for a minor slip-up at the end.

“You were the one who [bleeped] up!” the judge explained.

On her previous dance, Bruno accidentally held up his 10 paddle for Erin, even though he entered and said nine. Maks dramatically fell to the floor laughing.

The judges sort of gave the shaft to Chad Ochocinco by disparaging a marvelous samba with an underwhelming 25. Are they trying to ensure he gets ousted?

ScherzEvan Lysacek Airs it Out

Nicole Scherzinger and Evan Lysacek soared over the competition.

Ochocinco may not be on par with the remaining dancers, but he proved he belonged last night, and his scores seem unfairly skewed in comparison to the rest.

Barring a huge surprise, Chad will be leaving tonight. Should he? Do you think last night was scored fairly? Here’s the full Dancing with the Stars scorecard:

  • Evan Lysacek and Anna Trebunskaya: Foxtrot: 29 (10-9-10). Paso Doble: 30 (10-10-10). Total: 59.
  • Nicole Scherzinger and Derek Hough: Tango: 30 (10-10-10). Cha Cha: 29 (10-9-10). Total: 59.
  • Erin Andrews and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Waltz: 27 (9-9-9). Paso Doble: 29 (10-9-10). Total: 56.
  • Chad Ochocinco and Cheryl Burke: Waltz: 27 (9-9-9). Samba: 25 (8-8-9). Total: 52.

Charlie Sheen: Staying on Sitcom, Yearning to Smoke


It’s always nice to see an alleged wife beater, liar and drug user rewarded with millions of dollars, isn’t it?

Following a series of contract negotiations, Charlie Sheen and CBS have reached a new deal that will keep the trouble actor on Two and a Half Men for at least two more seasons. Thank goodness, too. What would we have done without this incredibly lame sitcom otherwise?

“To put a fitting end on the two and one-half months of whirlwind speculation, I’m looking forward to returning to my CBS home on Monday nights,” Sheen said in a statement.

The terms of the contract have not been disclosed, but rumors state Sheen may make as much as $1.3 million per episode.

Two and a Half Men Scene

As for the charges that he assaulted (soon-to-be-ex) wife Brooke Mueller in December, sources say a plea bargain is on the table that would have Sheen serving 45 days in Aspen’s Pitkin County Jail.

There’s just one hold-up, Us Weekly claims: The actor’s lawyer has been asking local law enforcement to make an exception to the jail’s no-smoking policy. We’re not making that up.

Multiple insiders confirm the Aspen County District Attorney has offered Sheen a deal that would place him behind bars for six weeks. In exchange, prosecutors would drop the felony charge in return for a misdemeanor guilty plea.

However, Sheen’s legal team wants to limit the amount of probation/parole so that if the stars gets in trouble again, he won’t end up in jail for a lot longer.

Sorry, that should read WHEN the star gets in trouble again.
