Heather Locklear is seen here trying to escape the paps recently as she was dining at the Ivy. It still amazes me that this is a woman who still gets thronged by the media these days, but more power to her I guess. And if she thought she could fly under the radar a little bit after a recent stint in rehab, she was wrong. Heather has been out of her Arizona treatment facility for two months now after being treated for depression and anxiety issues, and she’s made headlines this weekend after being busted for a DUI. Saturday night Heather was in police custody after being pulled over by a California Highway Patrol cop in Santa Barbara after a resident called her in for driving erratically. Her car was actually parked on the state highway and was blocking a lane in Montecito, an upscale residential area about 90 miles north of Los Angeles. It is believed that she was alone in the vehicle but after talking with her on the highway, the officer believed that Heather was under the influence of ‘something’ but have made it clear that alcohol was not involved. She was immediately arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance, and taken to the station. There she was tested for both drugs and alcohol, and was booked for being under the influence of prescription medication. She then spent the night in jail and was released Sunday morning. Given that she has been struggling with depression and anxiety, my hunch would be that it would be those types of meds that she was under the influence of however time will tell. Ah well, don’t know what to think about this one, but as usual, time will tell.

The smoking hot Jennifer Aniston is seen here on set of “30 Rock“ for her guest star appearance alongside Alec Baldwin. Jennifer plays the role of a stalker in her appearance, and in this scene she gets into a scuffle with a police officer. Her character is Claire Harper, former roommate of Tina Fey`s character Liz Lemon, and Claire has an obsession with Alec Baldwin`s character Jack Donaghy. It will be interesting to see Jennifer come out as kind of a crazy person, but some sources are saying she is translating that role into real life as well. There are rumors swirling that Jennifer is not handling the John Mayer breakup that well after all, and that any signs that she has been are only public displays so that she can play off the persona that she is sooooo over him. But she has been partying pretty hard and trying to shake it off with alcohol, and even making some motions that she wants to get back together with him. It is reported that she has been calling him every day just to show him what he is missing, and that one night after a few too many glasses of wine, she did the drink and dial thing. Why she would need to show ANYONE what they are missing with her is beyond me, considering she IS Jennifer Aniston and globally known as a super hot, super brilliant, super all that kind of girl. But even the A listers have their insecurities I suppose. And, from the sounds of it, John has been extremely happy to hear from her and enjoys the daily contact. But he may not know that Jennifer`s friends believe she is still in love with him, and it sounds like he is wanting to maintain the `just friends“ thing. And he`s very concerned with her new party girl persona, and seems to be concerned about her from a friendly perspective and hopes she is able to get over that and soon. He has even said she is more appealing to him when she parties less, so….maybe if she really IS in love with him, she will get that less is more attitude and well…maybe there`s hope for the two. And maybe pigs will fly, who knows. I just hope she finds her happy place VERY soon and gets over the whole thing. She and John were NEVER one of my favourite couples.

No, no, Lindsay is not the victim of some psycho stalker….that we know of….unless her dear old dad Michael Lohan has been participating in less than comely behaviour. Yes, it is Lindsay`s own father that is about to receive a restraining order from the California courts barring him from Lindsay`s presence. It has been no secret that Lindsay and her paparazzi loving father have been at odds lately, and to say they are at odds may be a nice way of putting it. No, Lindsay and her Christian dad have been at war both publicly, and I imagine privately, since Lindsay has come out officially with her girlfriend Samantha Ronson and even started wedding rumors for the two. Michael is no fan of the relationship and has accused Sam of using Lindsay for her fame and to ignite her own fledgling career, his words not ours, but it seems daddy dear can`t do the mud slinging without stepping in front of a camera or microphone himself. So, who is the real media man here huh. I guess the warring has gotten so bad that Lindsay wants to formally and legally ask him to leave her alone and is doing so with a restraining order. She wants an order of protection because her own father is behaving so erratically that she is actually terrified that he may even hurt her. Her lawyer has already been retained and there is an order of protection in the works. And surprise surprise, this is not new to the Lohan family. Michael is the ex husband of Dina Lohan, Lindsay`s manager, and has three children with her – Cody, Lindsay, and Ali. And he has driven away his entire family to the extent that when Lindsay`s order of protection comes through, Cody will be the only one in the family without a restraining order against Michael. Dina has had one set against him for some time, and even little Ali Lohan has an order of protection against her own father. The family says that nobody will speak to him until or unless he gets help for his odd behaviour. Lindsay thinks at the least that Michael is a public embarrassment and a bully, and she wants him to shut up and just go away….She even said on her MySpace recently:

My father obviously needs to be on medication to control his moods. He is out of line and his words show how much anger he has, and it’s dangerous and scary as it reminds me of how he treated my mother and I my whole childhood. He needs to be stopped. This is yet another reason why we aren’t speaking…

This is the first I am hearing of Michael`s instability from a medication standpoint, but hey, you got three chicks in his own family that are terrified of him. And it makes me wonder what really went on during the Lohan years of growing up. It`s so sad to see families destroyed publicly though, so I hope once the restraining order gets put in play, this will all quiet down. But we ARE talking about Michael Lohan though, so I think the chances of quiet are uh….slim.

Every day that passes brings new information about the tragic plane crash that killed four people and critically injured Travis Barker and DJ AM. As we all know, DJ AM and Travis Barker both suffered serious burns on various parts of their body and have been receiving treatment in Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia. As of today, DJ AM, officially known as Adam Goldstein was released from the hospital and is recovering at home. Travis Barker on the other hand has suffered much more extensive injuries and is expected to remain in the hospital for at least another two weeks. An eyewitness has come forth saying he witnessed the whole accident and was the first responder on the scene of the Learjet crash. His name is Curtis Parham, and he was the first person to talk to the two rockers immediately following the crash last Friday night. He describes the accident here:

“I was in my truck sitting next to the runway in the [nearby] parking area,” he recalls. “I heard this scraping noise like metal scraping. I saw the plane come down the runway on the belly of the plane. It made a oud ‘bump,’ and bounced. It looked like it was going around 120 or 130 miles per hour … Then, I saw a big plume of dust and gas and smoke.”

Curtis called 911 and drove to the crash scene with a flashlight. He described Travis and DJ AM as pacing approximately fifty or sixty yards from the plane and Travis kept saying `Òh my god, oh my god“ At the time, all other four passengers on the plane, including Travis`s bodyguard Charles Still and Travis`s assistant Chris Barker were in the plane, and as we know, perished in the crash. Curtis said the aviation fuel at the time was still running across the highway and had ignited, leaving flames spurling across the road. He said when the emergency responders got there, they couldn`t get through due to the extent of the fire. Barker had kept saying that he wanted to get back on the plane to get the other passengers out, but there was no way to even get to the burning Learjet. At the same time, Travis and DJ AM had already suffered their burn injuries and were in extraordinary pain. Barker was carried to an ambulance where he sat on the bumper with DJ Am and they complained of being thirsty and that their eyes were burning from the aviation fuel. They were given some water to flush out their eyes as well as to drink while they tried to process the entire situation. Curtis says it was one of the most traumatic experiences of his life to even witness that, and he can`t imagine what it must have been like to go through it. He hasn`t slept well and is thinking often of the two young men who survived the crash. He hopes that he will be able to see them again and let them know he is sending prayers and blessings to them.

There was quite the kerfuffle earlier this week when Britney Spears and her record label found out that her highly anticipated single ‘Womanizer’ had been leaked onto the Internet. The furor over the leak stemmed from the fact that prospective fans were hearing an unpolished version of ‘Womanizer’ and thus not getting the right impression over Britney’s big comeback and ultimately, that Britney would lose fans in the process. To make matters worse, a Nashville station played this leaked clip, one that only lasted 37 seconds and a lot of backlash ensued. The clip played in Nashville was choppy and broken and Jive Records says that this clip was likely made during a phone call that a radio rep had played for the station. Overall, the played clip was NOT in good shape and some fire quenching needed to occur, and FAST. While a lot of flurry ensued to take the leak off the Internet, and recover from the Nashville incident, the record label producers did some back pedalling and quick thinking in order to put out this fire. The end result was that ‘Womanizer’ was given the polishing it needed and has now been released on the airwaves. Britney’s single was initially intended to be released next month, but the wait is over as of today, as ‘Womanizer’ appeared on the hit New York City Z100 this morning for its official debut. The song ‘Womanizer’ is not quite ready for digital download, but come Monday you will be able to purchase the single in record stores.
