More Woes for Lindsay Lohan as the “Unbankable” is Being Dropped Left Right and Center

Lindsay Lohan Gossip

Lindsay Lohan spotted here doing what she does best, partying, but if only she could find someone to pay her for doing so as she is now being linked with the dreaded word in Hollywood “unbankable” and is being dropped by, well just about everybody, including her latest film project. The movie, “The Other Side” which also stars Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi and Alanis Morissette, is about a graduate student working on a deserted island.

“Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we’ll soon be announcing a replacement,” director David Michaels told TMZ.com.

The website claims the film’s financiers did not believe they could rely on Lohan. And that’s not all, a big time department boutique in Beverly Hills has dropped her from the campaign she was slotted for replacing her with a former Victoria Secret model. Ouch. That hasta hurt. And while most actresses would smile gracefully and move on, those with less talent don’t act so graciously, as Lilo was back to her old ways soon after her agent dropped the news. The troubled actress is said to have hurled her drink – and the glass – at celebrity DJ Ronson while she sat with pals at Los Angeles hotspot, Trousdale on Friday night making her banned from the night spot from here on out. An onlooker told a US newspaper:

“Samantha was DJing and went to sit with her friends when Lindsay stormed over and threw a glass at her head. Glass flew everywhere, and Samantha looked really shaken up. The club owner asked Lindsay to leave and was overheard saying she’ll never come back.”

Ronson, who was not hurt in the melee, later wrote on micro-blogging website, Twitter: “Just got a glass thrown at my head… Hmmm – wonder who did it.” A representative for Lohan was unavailable for comment. A little strange no? Usually when the stars DIDNT do it, the reps are all over the boards saying no no no, but not Lilo’s…hm. Shocking.

The Woes of Single Mom Kate Gosselin

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Kate Goselin Boyfriend

Kate Gosselin, also known to her Dancing With the Stars co-stars as Hate Gosselin, is spotted here posing outside the Live With Regis and Kelly show after having been eliminated five weeks into the competition. And though she is all glam and smiles here, it sounds like she is already starting to sing the single mom blues as she is complaining about how she seriously doubts she’ll ever date again according to what she told Kelly Ripa on the Live show. Good news, single guys! Hooray! Kate announced her conversion to spinsterism when Kelly suggested Live! With Regis And Kelly fix her up with a man in a “Win A Date With Kate” contest. Alas, not even rhyming her name with something, a technique that means so much to Kate could sway her. This contradicts the rumor that Kate was fantasizing about landing a celebrity boyfriend to boost her career.

“Obviously, she knows she’s not yet ready to date a George Clooney, but she thinks she would be the perfect partner for a Jeff Goldblum or someone like David Hasselhoff,” says a ‘close friend’.

Sorry this was how you had to find out, Jeff Goldblum. Kate has said she doesn’t feel like she’d be a good girlfriend. “I don’t believe there’s someone out there who can handle my baggage,” she said (via Life & Style). “Honestly, I don’t believe there’s anyone out there.” Nonsense. There’s Jon.

The Scoop on the Angelina Jolie Tell All

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Angelina Jolie Photos

Well it seems that Angelina Jolie doesn’t have a whole lot to talk about these days, so infamous biographer Andrew Morton decided to get to the bottom of it in an all new tell all. When it will be surfacing is anybody’s guess, but it sounds like her infamous tattoos and their meanings will be a focus point of the book. A lot of snide comments come to mind here, I mean, one of the most famous women in the world and tattoos are the only thing a famous biographer could come up with? But as it turns out, the actress is such a fan of body art she spent one night sketching a design on boyfriend Brad Pitt’s back, because they “didn’t have anything to do”. But if you are curious, the new tell-all book cover features a picture of her back – a fitting perspective for a biography written without her approval. But even though you can’t see her face, Angelina Jolie is instantly recognisable on Andrew Morton’s book by her collection of tattoos, something she never seems to tire of talking about. “I am still, at heart and always will be just a punk kid with tattoos,” she has also confessed. As well as quotations, dates and phrases which hold a special meaning to 34-year-old Angelina, the Tomb Raider star is covered in odes to her children and her late mother, Marcheline Bertrand. A couple of designs linked to her ex-husbands, however, failed to make the final cut – the actress has either had them removed or covered up teaching us all that in most if not all cases, romantic love should not be inked permanently on the skin. Even she admits it.

“I’ll never be stupid enough to have a man’s name tattooed on me again.”

Now, as bookshelves are preparing to be adorned with the photo of Angelina’s tattooed back, here is a run down of the film star’s ink – and the meanings of all her intricate designs. As far as the ink on her back is concerned, she has a lot to say about her choices there. The words “Know your rights” sit at the base of Angelina’s neck. The phrase is the title of a Clash song and, according to the actress, a slogan of empowerment. She has described it as “humanitarian, but a little punk rock”. Moving left we have an incantation in Khmer, on her left shoulder blade, is arguably Angelina’s most recognisable tattoo. Khmer is the native language of Cambodia – the country where her son Maddox was born. A possible translation is:

“May your enemies run far away from you/If you acquire riches may they remain yours always/Your beauty will be that of Apsara/Wherever you may go, may will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides”.

Moving south we have the infamous 12-by-eight-inch Bengal tiger tattoo, which is visible on Angelina’s lower back, was done during a visit to Bangkok, Thailand, in 2004. Artist Sompong Kanhphai took two hours to complete the design and then blessed it by chanting an ancient hymn. Angelina reportedly had the tattoo done to celebrate her Cambodian citizenship. Naturally. And as far as her arms are concerned, no mysteries there for many of us. The tattoo on Angelina’s upper left arm is a tribute to her rainbow coloured family. The design features the geographical co-ordinates of where her six children were born. Onto the other arm…A Tennessee Williams quote on the actress’s left forearm reads: “A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages”. The phrase is the subtitle of Williams’ 1941 play Stairs to the Roof. Angelina’s mother, Marcheline Bertrand, was with her when she got this tattoo. Angelina originally had XIII – the Roman numeral for 13 – tattooed on the inside of her left forearm because she doesn’t believe in superstitions. She later added V MCMXL to the design, which is believed to be a reference to the date (May 13, 1940) when Winston Churchill declared: “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat”. So if you ever thought you’d never see the day when Angelina Jolie and Winston Churchill were uttered in the same sentence, you were wrong. How tempted are we to give the big eye roll to the great humanitarian, literary genius, and Cambodian citizen, Angelina Jolie. As the famous and late Paul Harvey would say, now you know the rest of the story.

Lilo Prefers to Save the Family Drama for the Private World of Twitter

Lindsay Lohan 2010 Photos

Yes, there is news of Lindsay Lohan these days, but as usual, it’s not good. She’s spotted here at the Coachella Festival looking like a…well, looking like a girl at a festival and we will leave it at that. But despite her attempts at not being a trainwreck, in any area of her life, she is still making headlines. And here I thought all that was going to happen to Lindsay Lohan this week was jail. Boy was I wrong! More family drama which is getting only too predictable right now. Her father Michael Daddy Lohan stormed Lindsay’s fortress of shoes yesterday with a police officer. Michael talked a cop into crashing Lindsay’s apartment because her 16-year-old sister Ali Lohan has been staying there, and, well, one daughter falling into cactuses is plenty. Shockingly, there was nothing illegal going on at that minute, and Michael and his entourage of cops were forced to leave. And as you can imagine, with Twitter alive and well, this took about three seconds to get into the public gossip domain as Lindsay took to Twitter, because the world may not be aware that the Lohan family has problems. “I have no choice but to make this public, due to my sister’s safety, as well as my own,” she wrote, with surprisingly accurate spelling.

“‘My ex-dad’ just WALKED INTO MY APT like the devil’s advocate with officers…. let’s not forget, that my father KIDNAPPED me from a COURT ROOM when i was 4 years old and is CRAZY.”

That sounds about right. Meanwhile, the rest of the Lohan family were running to the sleazy media outlet of their choice. “Michael walked into the apartment, looked right at Ali and said, ‘I’m looking for my daughter Ali, is she here?” Lindsay’s mom Dina told Radar. “That’s from Ali’s lips to God’s ears. He didn’t even recognize his own daughter.” Living in Lindsay’s shadow much? Never! For his part, Michael doesn’t think he did anything wrong.

“I went to the police department concerned about Ali’s welfare. I wanted to check on Ali. I want to make sure she’s ok. She’s 16 and she doesn’t belong there!”

Maybe daddy dearest should start refreshing his memory with daughter’s glossies, and THEN worry about where and when they don’t belong. As for that prison term we thought Lindsay was going to get, the dramacentric star was due in court for a deposition today. She’s being sued over that famous incident where she chased her assistant all over L.A. in someone else’s car. After skipping the first court date last week, she missed the rescheduled session again today. If she doesn’t show on May 4, the judge won’t reschedule again. There’s so much happening with her right now (as usual), but I’m confident she knows how to handle this: go out tonight, pull someone’s hair, throw a drink at someone from MTV, and then leave in something stolen. I mean, it is Friday.

Robert Pattinson Engaged?

Robert Pattinson Engaged

Oh be still your heart ladies and relax a little bit. Though we will never know until the very last possible minute with these two, the chances that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are engaged you have to know is slim to none, and he is denying this vehemently. My guess is that this rumor cropped up after they announced they were officially dating, and since the pair are relatively scandal free, what else are people going to talk about but made up engagement rumors? According to Entertainmentandshowbiz.com, the British star has dismissed the latest rumour that he is also thinking of proposing Stewart. He said:

“This engagement thing is total bullshit, I don’t even know where it comes from. Kristen is my friend. I really like to work with her. She’s more mature than her age, a real professional. I couldn’t wish a better partner, because she makes my every move, every sentence authentic.”

Pattison also said he feels lucky to have a talented actress like Stewart next to him on Twilight.
He added:

“A big franchise like Twilight is a scary thing, because it put me on the map and I’ll have it for my whole life. So it’s important to get along with my partner and Kristen is the perfect partner. She sets the bar high, so I must deliver too. My only weapon for self-defence is to not care about the rumours. I concentrate on my work and on the positive sides of fame.”

Okay, that is all well and good, but not many people refer to their friends as “partners” so there may be more to this than we think, particularly since the P word was used twice in his official quote. We will see with this one, and it may be some time, but my guess is that these friends are far more than that. For now.

Doug WHO Says Paris?

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Paris Hilton Low Blouse

Just in case you had nothing better to do, you can cancel your plans to cry for Paris Hilton. Right, you weren’t. Never mind. But she seems to think her love life is of great interest to us…to the world…to anyone that will listen. Sure, she’s no longer with her “future husband” (her words), Doug Reinhardt. But she’s hardly starved for attention…if you ask her. At a fundraiser for Lou Gehrig’s disease on she said:

“A lot of guys have obviously hit on me and I am getting thousands of calls, but I’m not ready to be with anyone. Maybe in six months or a year…but for right now, I’m just too busy for a relationship.”

Maybe she wouldn’t be so busy if she stopped taking thousands of phone calls. Paris and Doug broke up after a year sometime in April, although when exactly is something of a sore spot between the exes. Just like everything else between Paris and an ex is a sore spot. Paris’s rep announced they’d split in early April. Doug then released a statement of his own in mid-April announcing that their breakup had just happened. But let’s be nice now, we are talking about hearts broken so fiercely that public and official STATEMENTS needed to be released. Despite this, it’s hard for Paris to talk about. Not because she was going to marry him. Because her memory of the whole experience is very hazy. “I don’t even remember that time in my life,” she says, referring to her relationship from a few weeks ago. “I am over it! I just realized that I’m better off without him. So I ended it because I deserve something much better! He wasn’t right for me and I will eventually find somebody who loves me for who I am.” Until then, she will focus all of her love on herself, which should not be at all difficult.
