LOHAN'S PAST BACK TO HAUNT HER "A wild ride that led to Lindsay Lohan's arrest has sparked another lawsuit. Court records show that three men who claim they were in a sport utility vehicle that Lohan commandeered in July 2007 sued the 'Mean Girls' star last week. Their allegations include battery, false imprisonment and that the actress was negligent when she allegedly took over one of the men's SUV to chase her recently fired assistant. … The men are seeking more than $25,000."
Oh boy! This is happening, everyone:
Britney Spears' manager Larry Rudolph has finally confirmed the pop star is currently recording a new album.
Spears was rumoured to be hard at work in the recording studio with music producers Jim Beanz and Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins earlier this month.
…
But Rudolph has confirmed Spears "is spending her summer in the recording studio, working on a brand new album."He adds, "She's working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters and we're very excited about what she's accomplished so far …"
Wonderful! By the way, did you notice that Mr Rudolph didn't at all mention a team of top-notch mental health professionals or the stability of a loving family? This is what anyone with eyes and a brain calls "a vicious cycle." But hey, look on the bright side: new, mediocre dance music!
Raffaello Follieri, former boyfriend of Anne Hathaway and a scumbag who really looks the part, was arrested this morning in New York City on charges of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering. Allegedly, Follieri lied to an investor about being the chief financial officer of the Vatican.
In April, Follieri was arrested for writing a $250,000 bad check, but the charge was ultimately dropped. These new charges probably won't stick either. Because rich pricks always employ lawyers who are smart pricks.
BECAUSE SHE DESERVES IT "Candy Spelling won $180,000 at a slot machine at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. … Spelling has an estimated worth of $600 million. … This is Spelling's second large Vegas win."
FINALLY, A USE FOR MTV "Like so many of the over-the-top birthday parties that typically appear on 'My Super Sweet 16' on MTV, Ariel’s celebration took the fairy-tale-princess theme to new heights. … As viewers learned, Ariel’s dad was a successful oilman. 'I love oil. Oil means shoes and cars and purses,' Ariel exclaimed to the camera as she and her father stomped around oil drilling sites in the muddy hills near her home in Campbellsville, Ky. … The show typically attracts younger viewers, but this particular episode, shown in February 2007, caught the attention of an entirely different demographic: government regulators. Ariel’s father was Gary M. Milby, a man regulators now say was bilking hundreds of investors across the country out of millions of dollars by offering fraudulent investments in nearly 30 oil and gas limited partnerships with names like 'Black Gold Oil No. 6' and 'Fort Knox Oil No. 8.'"
Celebrities make too much money. Subjective, sure, but probably true. Truer still is that very often those fortunes are wasted in inglorious, ill-planned blazes.
But sometimes the millions serve a higher purpose; sixth homes declined in favor of the public that makes a celebrity a celebrity. Yet where are those figures in Star and the National Enquirer?
Screw Birkin bags, time for money that counts: political donations.

Kim Cattrall, seen here after being kicked in the balls, is making no bones about the fact that she hates her Sex and the City costars and the franchise in general, and was only lured back to the frail fold by the promise of lots of cash.
"I'm only doing the film for the money," Cattrall says. "It was always about the money. When I made a stand about not being in the movie because I thought the money was terrible, there was a backlash of very negative things from some of my co-stars. The role is very much a double-edged sword."
Pre-cancer, cutthroat Samantha would approve! Before she got watered-down with all the kindness and the better understanding of fatality.
Like cartoon wolves with dollar-sign eyes, Barnes & Noble, the corporate bookstore chain that only a week ago refused to condescend and sell in their stores OJ Simpson's If I Did It, has now decided to carry the book in their branches, citing "customer interest" (aka customer money). Of course, they will continue to not "promote" it. But I'm afraid it's too late for that, Barnes & Noble. Or should I just say, "Barnes."
