Lohan’s Father Begs Samantha to Save Lindsay

lindsay_michael-lohan
Lindsay Lohan’s father has begged Samantha Ronson to save his daughter.

Michael Lohan, who has spoken publicly about his concerns for the ‘Mean Girls’ actress’ mental health and claimed she is addicted to prescription drugs, has urged the star’s on/off DJ lover to convince Lindsay to go to rehab, despite previously branding her a “disgusting parasite”.

He said, “Maybe Samantha will help Lindsay turn her life around and get her into rehab. At least I know Samantha cares. Time is running out for Lindsay. We need to save her.”

While Michael is keen to welcome Samantha back into his daughter’s life, he wants to exclude her mother, his estranged wife Dina, branding her a “sick human being”.

He added in an interview with the UAE’s Insider magazine, “She tells me how bad the problem is with our daughter and in the same breath is avoiding the subject.

“She is a sick human being. Dina can continue to lie and avoid the truth, but I am going to continue to show what a liar she is. She can continue to make all the excuses she wants, but she can’t deal with the truth.

“We need to save Lindsay – and now.”

Michael, who recently leaked a series of tapes of phone calls between himself and Dina detailing their fears for Lindsay, has vowed to help turn Lindsay’s life around.

He previously said, “I want my daughter off prescription medication. She never needed it in her life… I’m not going to watch my daughter die. Hate me now, but you love me more later because I’m going to turn her life around.”

Sarah Jessica Parker: Miley Cyrus is Like a ‘Viking’

Sarah Jessica Parker thinks Miley Cyrus looks like a “Viking”.

The 44-year-old actress was astounded by how tall the ‘Hannah Montana’ star was when she filmed her cameo for the next ‘Sex and the City’ movie.

Sarah said, “I was astounded by her height. Did you know that she’s tall? She’s like a Viking. I had no idea!”

The actress, who reprises her role as writer Carrie Bradshaw in the big screen version of the US TV show, enjoyed working with 17-year-old Miley, even though their time together was brief.

She told Us Weekly magazine, “Miley’s a beautiful young lady and very self-possessed. I literally was not in the scene with her. I was in the scene, but we were not on screen together. But she was lovely and on time and prompt and professional, very sweet.”

Sarah also confirmed Jennifer Hudson, who played Carrie’s assistant in the first movie, will not be returning for the sequel.

Kate Hudson and Alex Rodriguez Reportedly Split-Up

katehudson-alex
Kate Hudson has reportedly split from Alex Rodriguez.

The ‘How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days’ actress and the New York Yankees baseball star are said to have called time on their seven-month relationship and Alex, nicknamed A-Rod, has been spotted out partying.

An onlooker at a Miami restaurant said of the sportsman’s behavior over the weekend, “He flirted with a blonde all night at dinner and seemed very much single. They seemed very much done.”

Representatives for the couple are yet to comment, but a source said: “They are totally over.”

Kate, 30, recently appeared on a US chat show and while she didn’t disclose any details about the romance, she said Alex was a “nice” guy.

She was asked by the ‘Late Show’ host David Letterman, if she was a big Yankees fan and friends with Alex, to which she giggled and said: “Yeah, he’s a friend of mine. Nice guy.”

When the Hollywood actress was asked how they’d met she tried to change the conversation but finally caved in when she was asked if he was a nice guy.

She said, “Yeah, he’s a nice guy. You just can’t help yourself! You just can’t! I knew it was going to come at some point!”

Kate has a five-year-old son, Ryder, from her marriage to Chris Robinson while Alex has two young daughters with ex-wife Cynthia.

It had previously been claimed that she and Alex had taken steps to introduce their children as part of their plans to move in together.

Leona Lewis Frightened by Fan Attack

leona-lewis

Leona Lewis is frightened to go out after being attacked by a schizophrenic fan.

The ‘Bleeding Love’ singer, who was punched in the face by Peter Kowalczyk as she signed copies of her autobiography ‘Dreams’ on October 14, was left “devastated” by the attack and fears she will be assaulted again.

In a witness statement read out in a London court yesterday December 14, “Now I’m very frightened about going out in public.

“I don’t know where the next attack will come from and if this will be more serious than what has happened.”

The 24-year-old songstress suffered swelling to her face and whiplash after the 29-year-old man with mental health problems attacked her at the Waterstone’s book store in Piccadilly, Central London.

Kowalczyk was in the City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London yesterday where he admitted assault and was sentenced by judges.

After telling the courtroom he hadn’t taken his medication prior to the attack, magistrates ordered Kowalczyk to stay in hospital under the Mental Health Act, where he will remain indefinitely.

District Judge Howard Riddle told him, “This is what happens when you don’t take your medication. A woman is now devastated.”

According to his father Tomasz, the man was a fan of British reality TV show ‘The X Factor,’ which Leona won in 2006, and was jealous of her success.

He said, “He wants to be a singer and went to ‘X Factor’ auditions. How far did he get with it? Nowhere.”

Jude Law’s Co-Star Love

robert-downey-jr-jude-law
Jude Law claims he is “in love” with Robert Downey Jr.

The actor brushed off reports he has reconciled with ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller by insisting he only has eyes for his ‘Sherlock Holmes’ co-star.

Speaking at the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ premiere in London’s Leicester Square last night December 14, Jude pointed at Robert and said, “The only person I’m in love with is sitting on my left. I am here on a night out with the boys.

“The flirting started the minute we met. It was based on mutual respect and admiration.”

Meanwhile, director Guy Ritchie spoke about why he chose to cast Jude, who plays the role of sidekick Watson to Downey Jr’s Holmes.

He said, “We’ve coined the phrase Hotson. I wanted a good-looking Watson.”

Despite his pin-up status on set, Guy insisted that Jude was a calming influence on him and Robert.

He said, “He was the father to two wayward sons.”

Among the celebrities in attendance on the red carpet were stars of the film Rachel McAdams and Kelly Reilly, as well as Princes William and Harry and singer Gwen Stefani.

It has previously been claimed that Jude – who recently became a father for the fourth time following a brief fling with model Samantha Burke – and Sienna are planning to move in together again after rekindling their romance while starring in Broadway plays in New York.

Courtney Love Loses Custody of Her Daughter

courtney-love_daughter
Courtney Love has lost custody of her daughter.

According to court documents, guardianship of Frances Bean Cobain, 17, has been awarded to Wendy O’Connor and Kimberly Dawn Cobain, the respective mother and sister of Frances’ late Nirvana frontman father Kurt Cobain.

The temporary guardianship of 17-year-old Frances was awarded on Friday, December 11, and although no reasons for the decision have been released, the change in custody arrangements follows a turbulent period in Courtney’s personal life.

In August, she was pictured looking gaunt and thin, sparking speculation she was using drugs again.

A lawyer for Wendy and Kimberly would only say the change was a “private family matter.”

Courtney’s lawyer Keith Fink, who was not present in court for the hearing said, “All I can tell you as Courtney’s friend is she loves her daughter more than anything in the world.

“Courtney will no doubt do what is best for Frances and will surely take her teenage daughter’s desires and feelings into consideration with respect to the legal guardian issue.”

Although the guardianship is for both Frances’ personally and her financial well-being, her grandmother and aunt do not have power over the trust established after Kurt’s death.

Courtney, 45, previously lost custody of Frances to Wendy in 2003 after she took an overdose and was subsequently arrested on drug related charges. She won back custody of Frances in 2005 after a lengthy court battle.

A hearing to appoint a general guardian for the teenager is pending.

Michelle Pfeiffer Likes to Let Herself Go

Michelle Pfeiffer
Michelle Pfeiffer “lets herself go” between films.

The ‘Cheri’ actress struggles to maintain her slender figure when she is not working and hides herself away between roles so she can eat whatever she wants.

When asked the secret to her beauty, she said, “Hard work. It requires incredible discipline. You have to accept it. If you want to be fit, one cannot eat like a pig, and must exercise. That’s the way it is, and I hate it. There is no miracle cure, and no secret diet.

“Between the films I let myself go, actually. I look different – but I hide it. And I’m good at hiding.”

Michelle turned 50 earlier this year and although she was initially worried about reaching the milestone age, it passed comfortably and she is content after accepting she is in the “second half” of her life.

She added to Germany’s Kurier newspaper, “I wasn’t happy about turning 50, it is kind of a stigma for women. But it came, it passed, that’s it.

“It has been a new awareness that I’m now in the second half of life, that life is, plain and simple, limited. Every moment counts.

“But the pressure will drop. It is no longer plagued by premonitions that are worse than anything that could happen. Things happen, you deal with that, it goes on.”

Sir Elton John and David Furnish Adoption Plans

elton-john_david-furnish
Sir Elton John and David Furnish still want to adopt.

David, 47, says he and the 62-year-old pop legend, who married in an extravagant civil ceremony in 2005, still want to open their home up to a disadvantaged child, despite being prevented from adopting two brothers from the Ukraine.

Elton and David tried to adopt 17-month-old boy Lev, who has a three-year-old brother Artyom, this year but were stopped as their civil partnership isn’t recognized in the Eastern European country and the ‘Rocket Man’ singer is too old under Ukrainian law.

David – who along with Elton was offered a guardian role in the child’s life – said, “We want to support Lev and his brother and get them into a Ukrainian home and out of the orphanage.

“We were upset not to be allowed to adopt but we’ll fight and work with the Ukrainian government to change the law so that HIV positive children can be adopted.

“We’ll be like uncles. They can visit us on holidays.”

He said he and Elton,who was hospitalized after he was diagnosed with the E. coli bacterial infection and influenza in September, will be taking time out at Christmas to consider their options.

He told New magazine, “That’s part of what Christmas will be about – a chance to get out the treadmill and chill out. There is a lot to talk about.”
