what.. AGAIN?
This morning as reported from Santa Monica California, our current trouble teen, (despite the attainment of her legal majority)Lindsay Lohan had an unfortunate incidence of relapse into her former state of drunken stupidity.
Not only, it seems was she drunk, but apparently disorderly on top of it all.
A woman she was chasing dialed 911 to halt Lohan's chasing her in her own SUV.
We don't know why she was chasing her, and to be honest, I don't think I want to know.
The woman Lohan was allegedly chasing was the mother of her former personal assistant, who was frightened by the chase being played out and called 911.
The personal assistant had quit her job just hours before the scenario played out.
Lindsay is one of those people that you have to feel a certain amount of derision for, but intermingling would be some level of sadness and sympathy for her as well
Alcohol addiction is a progressive disease, and if one questions that statement we have only to view the Hollywood freeway for proof of it.
So many of our youthful actors and actresses seem to be willing to throw away their talents, and indeed their lives, for just one more drink, or one more drug.
Someone should tell them all in a way they can understand, that climbing inside a bottle, only makes you forget for a little while.. When you sober up, you probably have more problems than you did before that first drink..
Good luck to Lindsay with her next stint in rehab.

Mother of the Year she isn't..
Britney apparently plunked down 3 grand to purchase a hapless pooch recently and PETA is not impressed with her furkid parenting skills.
Voted worlds worst Dog Owner last year, she gave the see ya later to her own three dogs last year.
"Britney needs a new puppy about as much as Lindsay Lohan needs a drink," PETA Vice President Dan Mathews tells MSN Entertainment. "She can barely look after herself and her kids, and she's tossed away so many dogs before. The only dog Britney is responsible enough to care for is a stuffed toy."
Matthews' advice for Spears: "She needs to surrender him to her local shelter for placement in a real home."
This is the only time you will ever hear me say I agree with the media whores commentary.. but sadly.. I do ..
Where did she take her new critter that evening?? To a loud and obnoxous dance studio, where it reportedly cried all night.. Now WHY doesn't that surprise me?

What Can You Say??
According to Bev Hills Police, Lindsay Lohan turned herself in to face DUI charges in her hit and run accident.
She was fingerprinted and photographed and released on her own recognizance.
The young lady's blood-alcohol level at the time of the crash was over the legal limit for California, however no one is saying how MUCh over it was. She is scheduled for court on the 24th of August.
The accident sent her running for rehab, her second term this year, the first being in January, when she apparently went to get clean, rather than because it would look good when going to court for crashing her car.
She checked out of rehab just a week or two ago, after six weeks of treatment.
The conservative Al Gore's kiddo, arrested in the wee hours of July fourth seems to have been partying somewhat a bit too heartily.
Al Gore III, 24, was arrested early in the morning on July 4, going well over 100 MPH in his Toyota. Police who searched the vehicle found pot, adderal, vicodin, xanax and valium.. I personally commend him for being able to START the care with all the various types of mind altering substances surrounding him.
He had been previously arrested. The little Gore faces several felony counts in connection with this particular arrest.
YOu say Tomato.....
The word is hooker.. or is it escort??
Deborah Palfrey is facing federal charges as the head of an escort service which had as many as 10,000 clients in the last ten odd years.
Among them, self proclaimed "sinners" such as Senator Vitter from Louisiana. and State Depts Randal Tobias.
larry King received this response, when asking her how many public figures she could expect to turn up on her list.."
"Well, Larry, I absolutely have no idea. We estimate statistically there are approximately 20 to 30 to 100 possibilities. And this is based upon a rough estimate of 10,000 clients who used the service over the past 13 or so years from 1993 to 2006."
Palfreys attorney, in her defense told Cnn that there were" more escort services in D.C. than McDonald's".
Now That is the one thing about DC we can absolutely believe!! »

Hm.. Makes Pefect Sense to Me
Her comment, reportedly, was "You wouldn't catch me falling out of a nightclub with no knickers on".
Apparently when you're paid for it though its an entirely different affair.
Such things as modesty and decorum and proper behavior do tend fade in comparison to the chance to show if off to the world.
The Becks stripped off a few items for the cover of W magazine, and included a few hot bedroom photos as well.
I can see how the two things would be different.. Apparently it's only when you show your backside for free that it becomes tawdry.

July 17, 2007, Celebrity Bytes.
Her dog walker it seems took the pups out for a walk and in a relatively short span of time she received a phone call saying one of her dogs wasn't breathing.
"I ran barefoot out of the house and found the dog walker and one of my security guys pumping her chest," Oprah relays in the August " O", her magazine. As Oprah reached the group who were doing cpr on the dog they told her she was gone.
It seems that the dog, called Gracie, had choked on a play ball. Oprah was reportedly inconsolable. I think anyone with furry children can relate to that.
Sting and his wife have been ordered to pay their former chef $51,000 upon the conclusion of a sexual-discrimination suit against them.
Their chef, Jane Martin, won the claim earlier this year, when she sued the couple for being fired after she became pregnant.
Jane Martin, 41, won her claim in May. She said she was fired after she became pregnant.
The coroners report is in, and it appears that Benoit was indeed taking drugs when he killed is family and himself.
Who among is is shocked by this news? saddened yes.. surprised, not all that greatly.
The trend seems to be whatever it takes to get ahead.. drugs, bribes and special favors all have a way of coming around to bite you in the.. _insert naughty word here_
What a tragic waste of life and talent. Best wishes to the family of Benoit.
Whatever he was, it is saddening that he will be remembered in this way.

Too Much Information?
When she was in rehab, there was a constant and consistent communications going on though several avenues.
Purportedly the focus was the L word..
The headlines are coupling more than one unlikely pair this week. Baywatch favorite Pamela Anderson has also been linked with David Spade.
Doesn't sound too likely but I suppose it could happen.
Spotted in Vegas they were supposedly seen kissing and sipping red bull and vodka.
The wheels of justice turn... not at all, in the case of Nicole Richie, whose legal eagles deemed it best to stall a bit longer while they challenge the evidence in her case.
Her case centers on driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, which is seemingly just not that huge a deal to the Hollywood community, so why fight it?.
It's heinous to wear a fur, but acceptable to teach children by example to drink, drive and take illegal drugs.. Hm.. I am obviously very old. I fail to find logic in that.. However.. . Take your celebrity rap on the knuckles and your cordless phone and go directly to jail, along the way garnering some sympathy and some valuable free publicity.
Britney is in the news yet again.. this time it is reported that the Department of Child Services is investigating claims that she is an unfit mother..
I just can't imagine..

and in other news....
Reknowned Photog Annie Leibovitz apparently got more than she bargained for when she suggested to the Queen that she might want to remove her crown for the picture..reportedly she garnered a "tongue-lashing and a stare down" .
The Queen was being snapped in Buckingham Palace when the photographer suggested, "I think it will look better without the crown because the Garter robe is so ..."
Apparently before she could finish the thought, the queen responded, "Dressy [?] What do you think this is?" and left the room wtih a servant carrying her train, as befits her station don't you know.
It's to be hoped that some awesome images were gathered before hand. Its a pretty safe bet she won't be going again.
Insiders claim Pitt and Jolie, with multiple trips down the aisle between them are planning ahead for an upcoming wedding.,A mega million pre-nup is reportedly in the works.
While I believe in planning ahead, I tend to feel the multimillion prenup is just a bit over the top.
Now THAT'S more like it..
Kudos to these celebrity dads.
Will, Tobey and Russell
celebrity dads who not only haven't failed to claim their offspring,
but actually seem to love them, and enjoy spending time with them.
