Are Lilo and Samantha Back Together??

Lindsay Lohan bikini
Lindsay Lohan is seen here proving to the world just why she belongs on the scary skinny list, as she is looking much more waifish than ever while she is out and about for a Hawaiian getaway. Lindsay Lohan took off for the volcanic shore of Maui this week, and took along as company her little sister Ali, and one of those “unidentified” male friends. She put a skimpy bikini on that seemed to have trouble clinging to her now skeletal frame, and spent the afternoon posing and taking photos and dipping into the rock pools under the warm Hawaiian heat. And even though she seems to be fading away on us, she looks like she is happy and relaxed. Is this little getaway all that she needed to get over her ex-girlfriend Sam Ronson? Or, is there perhaps more to the story as with Lilo, there always seems to be. Because from the sounds of it, there may be some rumors swirling that these two are in fact back together, or if nothing else, the rumor mill is churning to bring Sam the publicity she is now lacking with Lilo out of her life. The story is that they are on the mend, and this time there is no drama, nothing was broken, and no hospitalizations ensued over whatever it was that may (or may not have) brought these two back together. But supposedly the two spent the last weekend enjoying something they (or someone) is calling a slumber party that lasted all weekend. And if the timeline is right, and the rumor is right, this may be exactly why Lilo has the smile all over her face. It is being said that Sam spent Friday night at Lindsay’s house, and left around 6 AM on Sunday morning. And, much to the world’s surprise, Samantha has been busy trying to propel this rumor with the etched in stone step of changing her Facebook status. Amazing how lives can change with a Facebook status update, and maybe this is what Sam was hoping when she changed her status from “single” to “it’s complicated”. After the complicated weekend, Lilo took off to spend time with her ‘real’ friends leaving Sam to wonder just how much more complicated things are going to get. If the exes are attempting to reconcile, Sam might want to consider plastic dishes. And windows. And, well, maybe Lindsay should just be required to wear a straitjacket at all times. Personally, I’m chalking this up to rumor. Lilo is getting plenty of publicity without her, and Sam, well, she just appears desperate at this point.

What’s the Deal with John Mayer?

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Hellmuth Dominguez, PacificCoastNews.com

John Mayer is seen here enjoying the single life while dining out at Katsuya restaurant. But is he really enjoying the single life? Seems like ever since he split from Jennifer Aniston he has been talking out of both sides of his mouth, depending on whoever seems most interested in talking to him. One minute he’s single, the next he’s not. It looks like his most recent dating escapade is with a cocktail waitress, who naturally is also an aspiring actress, who goes by the name of Scheana Marie. Ah yes, this must be true love, we all know how those torrid relationships with the cocktail waitresses work, no? Just ask George Clooney. So my prediction here is that she will take what she can get from him, maybe make a few cleverly networked connections, see her little star rise just a smidge, and then they will be back to being as single as they each were before this “relationship”. You have to wonder what is going through a man’s mind to go from Jennifer Aniston to a waitress. If I were Jennifer, my first thought would be, HAH, I knew I was too good for THAT. But sweet little Scheana it seems is all aglow with the buds of first love, and tells all of her cocktail waitress friends at the Beverly Hills Cigar Club Grand Havana Room. She says they haven’t stepped out publicly yet because they are just “enjoying each other”, but again, my guess is that there is less relationship here and more of the something something and this is precisely why John is keeping her “under wraps” so to speak. Because, unless she’s unable to read…or something….John’s other side of his mouth is telling the world just how single he is. He’s even been a little argumentative with the press over it, saying that if he actually had a girlfriend, he wouldn’t deny her publicly because it might tick her off.

“If I had a girlfriend, she would be incredibly offended by me saying, ‘I don’t have a girlfrifriend’. That’s how you can be sure. I could say, ‘I’m not with anybody.’ That’d be a death wish if you were the woman.”

Well, yes, it would, because that’s kind of rude, and this big proclamation must be major news to all of the OTHER waitresses of Los Angeles. But when one has the nickname of Player Mayer, do we really and truly think that he is being 100% honest with us? I wonder just what Ms. Aniston may have to say about ANY of this….if she is smart, anything more than a big ol’ laugh with a *cough* GOOD RIDDANCE will be a bit of a waste of time.

You never know what you are going to get with this one. And even though she is giddy with excitement over her pending marriage with long time boyfriend Hayden Christensen, she still gets a little modest about it all and was seen hiding her left hand and major bling in the pocket of aforementioned chic pants. But, it may just be that she has other things on her mind, as it sounds like Rachel’s already full plate is getting even fuller. And if you like her taste and style, it will be good news for you since she has just taken on a position as one of InStyle magazines fashion editors.

Lindsay Lohan Has Trouble Deciding

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Lindsay Lohan No Bra

Ah yes, she’s back. In the news that is. Lindsay Lohan can never seem to stay out of the headlines, but when you have a massive breakup from the lesbian relationship that has been prioritizing your life for a year, what can you expect. Lindsay is seen here having trouble deciding what kind of frames to pick for her latest eyewear, and with this flowing white backless dress she seemed to be adding fuel to the fire that she needs to be back on the scary skinny list, and soon. I wasn’t too sure about those rumors until I saw this picture, where it seems that her breakup is having the opposite effect on her weight than it does to many others. Suffice it to say, we hope she beefs up soon. But it sounds like eyewear is not the only thing that Lindsay is having trouble with in the decision department, as the word is she may start hitting for the other team again. Lindsay Lohan made no bones about who she was seeing during her year long thing with Samantha Ronson, and though she never really “came out” she made a point of letting people know she didn’t care what they thought. That will never change with Lindsay, and it seems that the only thing that ever really does is her choice of handbag and her choice of arm accessory beyond that. This time Lindsay may be swinging back to the male version of arm candy, as she is getting over her breakup with Sam by making sure she is seen on the arms of many men. Ooohh…nothing like making a lesbian ex ticked like hanging off a man’s arm, huh? Last weekend in Vegas Lindsay made sure she was spotted and snapped with some mystery males and was flirting up the Y chromosomes both at Planet Hollywood Resort and at the Casino in Las Vegas.

“At the after-party she focused her attentions on a good looking young guy and the pair were quickly introduced. After swapping numbers they were texting throughout - from opposite sides of the swimming pool.”

Her new said “friend” then left the event with her, and it is said that they ended up in her lavish hotel room for the remainder of the evening. Lindsay was overheard describing her room and all of its “amenities” to the same man friend, saying she wanted them to make the most of its hot tub and marble cocktail bar. And given that she is rumoured to be on the alcohol relapse bend since the breakup, that would be no surprise either. To add more insult to Sam’s pending injury, Lindsay also publicly told former Spice Girl Mel B that she was so over it and that she was officially “back on men”. And interesting way of putting it. But word is that Samantha may not even care, as she has been spotted getting back in the saddle herself with a new girlfriend Bar Refaeli. Huh, anything can happen here, and if these two got back together it certainly would not surprise me.

The Many Women of Mel Gibson

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Yes, we all know how it is exactly. When you have the A-list status in Hollywood that Mel Gibson does, and the charming debonair looks that go with it, then you will more than likely run into a few problems in the women department. The tastes that the good life has to offer can be very tempting, even for a man that has been married for almost three decades. And with wind of Mel Gibson’s wife filing for divorce, in a marriage that has accumulated $900 million dollars worth of assets, some news on details of the “irreconcilable differences” between the two is coming to a head. When the news first broke, we heard that Mel had recently been spotted in Costa Rica with a beautiful yet un-named woman. It has since come to light that the woman’s name may or may not be Oksana, and the odd part of it is that there seems to be more than one Oksana linked to Mel Gibson. Huh. Even worse, the Costa Rica vacation he took the unknown Oksana on was a family vacation with many of his 7 children in attendance, so you have to know that this split has been a long time coming. We are first told that said Oksana was a Russian singer who has signed onto Mel’s record label, Icon Records. The Oksana Grigorieva, who is 39 and former Bond star Timothy Dalton ex, has also been living in a house that is linked to Mel. The home was purchased in December 2008 and is not marital property (because that would be just TOO classless) but is owned by Icon Records, Mel’s label. We aren’t sure if this Oksana was the one in Costa Rica, but pictures do seem to show a striking resemblance to the woman seen frolicking on the coast line with Mel. Grigorieva has one son with the formerly mentioned Timothy Dalton, and the word on the street is that yes, this was the Oksana seen in Costa Rica with Mel. However, it gets a little more confusing because a total of 3 Oksana’s have been fingered in relationship with Mel. The first one was Oksana Kolesnikova, a pianist who performs at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge five nights a week, and she was spotted with Mel on numerous occasions prior to the news of the Big D. The only caveat there is that she is happily married and has been for 10 years, and is also four months pregnant. So, since we know that married people don’t cheat, she must be out of the loop. But, then there is the pregnancy thing, so maybe this was a goof on someone’s part. Mind you, Oksana Pochepa who is only 24 has also been spotted with Mel on more than one occasion. She actually wants to be seen as the one that’s the homewrecker, as she came out to British newspapers as being THE Oksana that is dating Mel Gibson. She says she’s the one that is seen in all the huggy kissy Costa Rica pictures. She says “this is serious” in terms of their relationship, and hopes it is “long lasting”. Because you know, those affairs that break up 28 year marriages and are consumed with a twenty-something girl ALWAYS last forever. But the odd part about all of that is that she looks nothing like the pictures she is claiming to be. Which brings us to Oksana number three, the Oksana Louvoushka a blonde artist who was seen in Mexico with Mel when she was filming some of her music videos. If you are confused at this point, you should be. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if he had something with all three of them at some point, but one can’t help but wonder. If you are going to mess around on your marriage, you may want to mix up the names a little bit. Or maybe this just makes things easier to remember for him. Who knows? As time goes on, I am sure we will get much more information. And my guess is that none of it will make Mel look exactly like the knight in shining armour many women think of him as.

Is Lindsay Lohan Going Back to Rehab?

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay might go to rehab, but first she has a relapse to finish up here, and then start off that with a bang. And it sounds like that may be well on its way. While she’s been busy getting over her big and final goodbye with girlfriend Sam Ronson, Lindsay Lohan has been working on Drink Hard IV: Drink Harder. It’s got her wing-gal, her mom, worried enough to try to coax Lindsay into a fourth trip to rehab. Early Easter Sunday they were heard having a huge blowup about it. Lindsay’s new neighbours in the Hollywood Hills, where she’s renting a place after being locked out of her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson’s apartment, heard her shouting “Mom, stop it!,” “Enough!” and “Quit it!,” At least that’s what Ok Magazine said. Knowing Dina, it’s more likely Lindsay was urging her to stop doing the Soulja Boy after a long night of champagne and tequila. Even if there was an Easter intervention, it sure didn’t convince Lindsay to stay home. According to Us Weekly, she drank at least seven cocktails at L.A.’s H.Wood bar on Monday, April 6; partied at Nobu on Wednesday; hit Chateau Marmont, Teddy’s and Bar DeLuxe on Thursday; went to a party at frenemy Paris Hilton’s on Friday; and went out again Saturday night, staying out until at least 5am. Sounds like Lindsay forgot one of her 12 steps. I’m not sure what they are exactly, and am fuzzy on the order, but I am pretty sure that ‘don’t drink’ has to be up there on one of them. Let’s see if this is just breakup blues that will phase out before they spiral out of control again.

Has Britney Lost K-Fed for Good?

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

britney spears
Awww. This is kind of sad actually. I’ve been so proud of her since her comeback, and we all know how the love between Brit and K-Fed may be volatile, but it is real as these two genuinely care for each other. And now, Britney Spears is reportedly devastated after discovering her ex-husband Kevin Federline has proposed to his girlfriend Victoria Prince. So much so she even feels betrayed by him. The singer is reportedly furious with her ex-husband - with who she has two children, Sean Preston, three, and Jayden James, two - after he proposed to current girlfriend Victoria Prince because she still has feelings for him. Apparently he knew this, but you know nobody will ever really know for sure. During Britney’s comeback there has been talk of course that a comeback was pending, but nobody really ever banked on it. But the kernel was planted, there is some serious history between these two, and it has been said that Britney always hoped they would get back together. And then we have the added knife to the gut. Britney - who divorced Kevin in 2007 - is said to be particularly concerned with the amount of time Victoria will be spending with her sons. A friend of hers has said:

“Britney’s not keen on Victoria. Victoria gets on really well with Sean and Jayden and sees more of them than Britney because they live with Kevin. I don’t think Britney saw her as a threat until Kevin proposed but now she will be stepmother to Britney’s kids and that doesn’t make her happy.”

I gotta say I feel bad for the girl. Even if she had moved on herself, it is still a little heartbreaking to see someone do it before you do. Group hug, Brit.

Mel Gibson on the Market?

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Tuukka Jantti, PacificCoastNews.com

There are some days that women in America rejoice when they hear of the latest breakup, and there are some that just make us sad. The day when George Clooney and Sarah Larson finally admitted nothing was going to happen there was one of the good ones. Then we have today, with Mel Gibson going public about his really bad marriage. So bad that his wife of 28 years has filed for divorce. It’s tragic really, nearly three decades is a very, VERY long time, and they’ve got seven kids to speak for it. So sad. The only thing we know is that the couple is citing “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of the big split and that there are no prenuptial agreements. This is not too shocking actually, considering almost 30 years ago Mel had pretty much nothing, and prenups just weren’t *done*, not even in Hollywood. So under California law, what they’ve got will probably be split 50/50 which sounds like it will ring to the tune of approximately 50% of Mel’s current fortune which is estimated at around $900 million. Mel’s wife Robyn has been quite the pillar for him, giving him 7 children and standing by him when the public got ugly with him during his 2006 DUI arrest. All of their children but 1 are adults now, so she is also seeking sole custody of their 10 year old Tom, as well as spousal support and attorney’s fees. Their actual date of separation is yet to be determined, which shows she’s getting a little money hungry here, since earnings from the marital property will stop being marital property once the separation date is listed. So she’s holding out a bit it sounds like it, though when you have half of $900 million to play with, one has to wonder why. She’s also managed to grab fierce and feisty divorce attorney Laura Wasser who also represented Britney Spears in the split with K-Fed. And though irreconcilable differences is the official and public reasoning given, there is some talk that he was photographed with a woman who didn’t seem to be Robyn in Costa Rica at the beginning of March. Though my hunch is that a 28 year old marriage doesn’t end overnight, and like Madonna and Guy, theirs was probably over before that even happened. Either way you cut it, as cute as it is that Mel is back on the market, it’s very sad to hear of any marriage like this end for any reason. In the meantime, expect some mudslinging and money gouging, this one doesn’t sound like it is going to end quietly.
