Celebrity News & Gossip

That Lindsay Lohan is cursed, we tell ya. Not only did her recent BBC documentary about child trafficking fail to improve her cultural standing (activists complained Lohan was taking credit for their work on Twitter), now Indian officials claim she applied a tourist visa instead of a work visa, a charge that may lead to LiLo being banned from returning. Not that she was dying to go back, we’re sure, but it still has to be embarrassing.

With this humiliation following her apparent split from Ungaro, a flop DJ night in London and habitual lateness for fashion shows and escort gigs in Europe, it’s hard to imagine there’s room on Lohan’s face for any more egg. Thankfully, the one-time actress doesn’t appear to be too upset by the drama, instead complaining on Twitter about the lack of AC in her apartment building, cheering St. Patrick’s Day (she’s Irish, you know!) and asking Lily Allen what movie Shirley Temple yodels in. Sounds like she’ll get by with a little help from her friends.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We’ve rounded up 17 Celtic beauties who’ve got the luck of the Irish in their gene pools. Check out our pot o’ golden pics!

What does it say when you hit every company’s show at Paris Fashion Week except the one you allegedly work for? Lindsay Lohan—whose first show for Ungaro flopped last year—was notably absent from this season’s show, and the label is making clear she had no part in designing this season whatsoever. Though the company has yet to confirm all ties have been severed, it’s hard to imagine she’d be AWOL otherwise. Then again, maybe she was just really, really late.

While Lohan may be saying goodbye to one paycheck, more cash may await her soon. The star has filed suit against E-Trade for a Super Bowl ad featuring a “milkaholic” wild child who just happened to share her first name. “Many celebrities are known by one name only, and E-Trade is using that knowledge to profit,” her lawyer told the New York Post. “They used the name Lindsay. They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.” For the tarnishing and exploitation of her first name, the adult Lindsay wants $50 million in exemplary damages and $50 million in compensatory damages. Hey, you have to make your milk money somehow.

See if you can find the umpteen things wrong with this story—and we’re not even talking about whether it’s true. The National Enquirer says Jamie Spears won’t allow his daughter to talk to former friend Lindsay Lohan. “The trouble started when Lindsay reached out to Britney for advice on getting her career back on track,” says their source. “When Britney mentioned it to Jamie, he exploded. He instantly phoned Lindsay’s managers and told them he would not tolerate further attempts to contact his daughter. Britney’s so totally humiliated…It’s embarrassing for her that she’s 28 years old, but her dad gets to tell her who her friends will be.”

We don’t know who to feel sorrier for. On one hand, we have a mother of two whose father controls her every move. On the other, we have a troubled young actress so desperate for guidance she’s calling Britney Spears. While we appreciate Mr. Spears’ desire to keep Brit from bad influences, these girls should at least be allowed to spend some time in group therapy together.

No, Lindsay Lohan isn’t doing a Pirates Of The Caribbean sketch with Fred Armisen on SNL tomorrow. The chipped fashionplate was just hanging out with Christian Dior designer pal John Galliano earlier today at Paris Fashion Week. Sadly, LiLo reportedly arrived too late to take a front row seat alongside Jared Leto and Charlize Theron at the Dior show itself, with security sending her back to her hotel to sulk instead.

This embarrassment comes painfully soon after word that her debut celebrity DJ gig Wednesday failed to please the party people at London’s Sketch. “Lindsay was clearly struggling to play the set on her own and had to ask [DJ Gareth Geno] for help. She seemed like a total drunken, incoherent mess…It was really embarrassing to watch. You could tell she didn’t didn’t know what she was doing.” Adding insult to injury, Geno’s assistance was taken as proof of a love connection by the eager beavers at the Mirror (who also say she screamed “Dance! I feel like I’m in a f—ing zoo!” at the gawking crowd). Lindsay dismissed the rumors in a since-deleted tweet (”I’m NOT dating him. lies lies lies.”), but it sounds like such gossip is the least of her problems. Check out shots from her European adventures below.

Lindsay Lohan and Courtney Love may be unwelcome at NY fashion shows and family reunions (respectively, of course—Michael Lohan would love Lindsay to visit for the holidays!) but Roberto Cavalli has shown no such reservations at Milan Fashion Week. The Italian designer posed with both bad news babes at the Vogue.it party Friday and welcomed them to his runway show Sunday. Seeing them at the after party, we can’t decide who’s the hotter mess: Lindsay with her fur vest and silver Hammer pants or toxic avenger Courtney? Take a look in the gallery below—thankfully featuring George Clooney’s girl Elisabetta Canalis as a welcome respite—and let us know who’s looking rougher in the poll above.

Because no American tabloids will talk to her, Lindsay Lohan is inexplicably opening up to UK rag The Sun, over-sharing on everything from her feelings about her addiction (blame Ambien, folks!) to her infatuation with Samantha Ronson. If you enjoy hearing narcissists ramble, you’re in for a treat.

Says Lindsay, “It was a big deal for me because I’ve never had a relationship as public as that, especially being with a girl for the first time. That was really scary for me. But I didn’t care because I love her.”

But wait, there’s more! “I never really thought about women before, it kind of just happened with Samantha,” cooed LiLo. “It surprised me. We’re still in touch. We live in the same apartment building in LA and see each other often. She has always been one of my best friends. If I wasn’t with Samantha, I would probably be with a boy next. She’s the only woman I’ve been attracted to.”

She adds, “We love each other. We might reconcile the relationship, maybe. I don’t know.”

The only thing stopping the pair from reuniting under a cloud of dysfunction is Sam’s wise family. “Her family is very involved in her relationships and that was difficult,” says Lindsay. Poor gal, it must be so confusing to be around a family that actually cares for each other!

Lindsay Lohan must have been more confused than usual about the shindig for her 6126 leggings line at Harrah’s in Atlantic City last night: was it a pool party or just a party at The Pool? We don’t know how else to explain her white-bikini-on-sheer-black dress—and are those granny panties poking out above the miniskirt? LiLo, showing the common sense that has made her a rising star in the fashion oh who are we kidding, combined this hot mess with her new trademark, a black fedora and trenchcoat. Someone must have told her this Sally Bowles shtick made her look mysterious and/or sexy. Someone very mean.

Get a closer look at her latest (dare we say greatest?) fashion disaster in the gallery below.

Just a month after apologizing for airing daughter Lindsay Lohan’s private phone messages, Michael Lohan is once again planning a major embarrassment. Seems LiLo’s has a progress report due today in her DUI case, and while she doesn’t have to attend, dad hopes to tell the judge (and Lindsay’s lawyer, presumably while cameras roll) what he’d force her to do. “My daughter needs rehab for at least 3 months,” he tells Radar. “Come on… let’s face it, there are pictures of her out there…of her drinking and taking pills in public. If you’re on probation, is that what the system approves of?” Hey, Mike, a recidivist like yourself might not want to point out the weaknesses of the probation system. God forbid they actually listen to you.

Michael, who hopes to make a reality show out of a cross-country trip to LA with girlfriend and Gosselin ex Kate Major (good luck with that), eventually turned to statements to Lindsay—God forbid she’s listening. “It really pisses me off that when you have trouble or when you’re in St. Barth’s and you have nowhere to turn to and you tell me everything is going awry and your sister is missing…I’m up 6 hours in the night trying to hire a jet to pick you up and take you home…and then you flip the script on me.” But this isn’t about Michael wanting everyone to know the hell his estranged children put him through. “This is about you getting well, you getting healthy, me loving you and wanting you to do the right thing.” Or maybe it’s about Michael Lohan feeling insanely jealous of Jamie Spears these days.

Janice Dickinson has a very important lesson to teach us all: While it’s important to do your part and help others, one doesn’t have to be overly earnest and self-serious to do it. Proving the point, the former Top Model judge hiked up her skirt and danced around like an idiot on the red carpet at Lindsay Lohan’s BRIT after party and charity auction in London last night. While the only celebrities at LiLo’s bash were Dickinson and a handful of other British reality stars like Lady Sovereign and that young barmaid who used to nail Ronnie Wood, we’re sure any room with Janice in it is going to be off the hook.
