BREAKING (under the who cares news) Lindsay Lohan to spend 90 days in jail

Well doesn’t that suck the big banana. Poor little Lindsay Lohan failed to impress the judge and as a result has found in violation of her probation and has been sentenced to spend 90 days in the Los Angeles Country Jail.

Not only that but she is going to have to spend 90 days in an inpatient substance abuse program.

Today’s hearing stemmed from Lohan’s 2007 collar on drunken driving and cocaine possession charges. The actress spent 84 minutes in jail that year as part of her sentence and was given three years probation.

Lohan, who turned 24 on Friday, dressed demurely in a black top and dark pants, listened as an official from her alcohol education program testified that the once promising movie star sent in excuses for missing her court-ordered classes that ranged from the death of her uncle (whose funeral she did not attend) to being stuck in North Carolina.

“I believe she had nine absences altogether” between December 2009 and July 2010, Cheryl Marshall co-owner of the Right On program testified at today’s probation violation hearing.

An emotional Lindsay cried as Judge Revel sent down her ruling.

“I wasn’t expecting any special treatment, except that I have to prove for myself,” Lindsay said between sobs. “I did do everything that I was told to do and did… I’m not taking this as a joke, this is my life and my career… It did wake me up, it scared me.”

Lohan has been ordered to surrender by 8:30AM on July 20. She will be allowed to remove her SCRAM alcohol-monitoring device at that time.

Now on to more important news – the BP disaster continues.



Fergie Knew Josh Duhamel Was ‘The One’


Fergie quickly realized her husband Josh Duhamel was ‘The One’.

The Black Eyed Peas singer had made a list of things she was looking for in man before she met Josh in September 2004, but her love for the ‘Transformers’ star soon made her forget about her prior expectations.

She told Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine, “At that stage of my life, I don’t think I’d have thought that about anybody.

“I’d made my lists of qualities that I wanted, and you can’t find out if someone has those in a week.

“It was learning what he was made of that made me fall in love with him.”

The 35-year-old star also revealed Josh, 37, enjoyed getting his hands on her extra curves after she had to gain 17lbs for her role in musical movie ‘Nine’.

She added, “When I came home from filming, he was excited. He enjoys having both – the extra meat to grab when it’s there and the tight stomach when that’s there. He always gives me compliments.”



Amy Winehouse Stopped From Meeting Prince Harry


Amy Winehouse was stopped from meeting Prince Harry at a music festival, being told by security to stay away.

The ‘Rehab’ singer had tried to slip onto the side of the stage at London’s Wireless festival to get closer to the British royal during Jay-Z’s performance in Hyde Park on Sunday night, July 4.

But the beehived pop star, who has battled drink and drug addictions, was determined to get the prince’s attention and shouted over security guard’s heads, “Oi Harry. Oi Harry. How are ya love? I only wanted to say hello to Harry.”

A group of celebrities in the exclusive area – including Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, Lewis Hamilton and Jay-Z’s wife Beyonce Knowles – looked stunned as Amy continued to try and get his attention.

Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding was also seen giggling at Amy’s attempts to lure the prince into a conversation before organizers told 26-year-old Amy to stay away and be quiet.

A reveler told the Daily Mirror newspaper, “Amy was so desperate to get near him. She didn’t care who heard as she yelled.”

Although he ignored Amy, the 25-year-old royal was himself snubbed last week – by pop star Pink.

Harry is a big fan of the ‘Trouble’ hitmaker and was hoping to catch up with the singer before she performed her set on Friday, July 2, at the Wireless festival, but her representatives said she was too busy to chat with him.

An insider revealed to the Daily Star newspaper, “Harry was hoping to meet Pink before she went on stage but she was too ready to rock to see anyone.”



Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner’s Matching Tattoos


Avril Lavigne and Brody Jenner have had matching tattoos.

The ‘Girlfriend’ singer and ‘The Hills’ actor, who began dating in February, have decided to show their love and devotion to each other by having each other’s names etched onto their bodies.

Avril’s ‘Brody’ inking is next to her right breast while Brody’s ‘Avril’ tattoo is on his inner arm.

A source told X17Online, “They may not have been together that long but Avril and Brody are obviously devoted to each other and these tattoos just got to show that.”

This is the second matching tattoo Avril and Brody have got.

In April, it was reported the pair had the same lighting bolt designs etched onto their bodies. Avril had her tattoo on her forearm, whereas Brody opted for his to be behind his ear.

A source said at the time, “They showed up to the opening of Mario Barth King Ink and requested the same tats.

“They were really excited about it. They held hands openly and were kissing in a corner.”

Although they’ve kept quiet about their fledging relationship, Avril recently drunkenly declared her love for Brody while singing karaoke.

The ‘Complicated’ hitmaker, who filed for divorce from her husband, Sum 41 rocker Deryck Whibley, last October, grabbed the microphone at the Bank nightclub in Las Vegas last month and wasn’t shy about her feelings.

A source said, “They were having a blast. They were taking shots with friends including Olympic snowboarder Shaun White, grabbing the microphone, shouting, ‘Jager shots’ and making the crowd go wild.”

The 25-year-old pop star even shouted, “I love you, Brody!” on the microphone.



George Clooney To Testify in Milan Courtroom


George Clooney to stand in a Milan courtroom later this month.

The ‘Up in the Air’ star will attend court on July 16 to testify against three people accused of using his name for a fashion label.

The 49-year-old actor is to testify as a civil plaintiff at the fraud trial in the Italian business and fashion capital.

And Judge Pietro Caccialanza has ordered extra security to protect the Oscar-winning actor from the huge numbers of fans expected to attend.

According to AFP, the judge said “There will be a lot of people, I imagine.”

However, Judge Caccialanza promised fans the extra security would not prevent them from seeing the Hollywood star, insisting they would have the chance “to come close to their hero”.

The fraud case originally began in April 2008, when three still unnamed people were accused of fraud, forgery and possession of stolen goods while preparing for a fashion show at a Milan hotel.

George is a regular visitor to Italy where he has a villa on Lake Como, north of Milan, and is currently dating Italian actress-and-model Elisabetta Canalis.



George Michael Arrested After Car Crashed Into Shop


George Michael has been arrested after smashing his car into a shop.

The ‘Careless Whisper’ singer lost control of his Range Rover in the early hours of Sunday morning, July 4, after attending the Gay Pride parade in London on Saturday, July 3, and ploughed into the door of photo store Snappy Snaps.

The 47-year-old pop star, who only recently ended a two-year driving ban, was arrested by police at 3.35am on suspicion of being unfit to drive.

The Hampstead shop in north London was left with a broken door and shattered windows from the force of the impact.

George was released on bail until next month.

A police spokesman told Britain’s The Sun newspaper, “A man in his 40s was arrested on suspicion of being unfit to drive.”

The singer’s spokesman has so far refused to comment on the incident.

George’s erratic behavior once again raises concerns over his lifestyle.

He was arrested in September 2008 after being caught in a public toilet in possession of crack cocaine and marijuana.

A year previously he was handed 100 hours community service for drug driving after being found slumped at the wheel of his Mercedes car by police.

In a frank interview last year the ex-WHAM! star insisted he had cut down his marijuana use, smoking only “seven or eight” cannabis-laced cigarettes a day from 25.

George – who is in a long-term relationship with art dealer Kenny Goss – also admitted he was frustrated that people judge him for his drug use and penchant for casual gay sex.

He said, “People want to see me as tragic with all the cottaging and drug-taking. I don’t see them as weaknesses any more. It’s just who I am.

“I’ve done different things at different times that I shouldn’t have done, once or twice, you know. Of course, nobody wants to regularly smoke crack.”



Cheryl Cole Contracted Malaria


Cheryl Cole has contracted malaria.

The ‘Fight for This Love’ hitmaker, who collapsed at a photo shoot in north London on Saturday, July 3, is believed to have picked up the potentially deadly disease after getting bitten by a mosquito while holidaying in Tanzania with dancer Derek Hough last month.

An insider revealed to the Daily Mirror newspaper, “She had been taking malaria tablets regularly while on holiday and continued to take them even after she returned back, but she still tested positive for it.”

Derek rushed to the brunette beauty’s bedside as soon as he heard the news, and is now said to be blaming himself.

The insider added, “He’s mortified by what happened and is utterly devastated at what she’s going through – not least because it happened on a trip he’d planned.

“It’s such a shame as she had such a lovely holiday with Derek and has such lovely memories of it. He is worried sick about her. He’s sticking close by her bedside and trying to keep her cheerful.”

Initially, it was believed the 27-year-old singer was suffering from severe exhaustion and gastroenteritis and had been working too hard on the new series of pop star search show ‘The X Factor’ and on her second solo album.

A statement from Cheryl’s representative has confirmed she is canceling all work commitments until she has made a full recovery.

The statement read, “Following doctor’s advice Cheryl Cole will be canceling all work commitments for the next week.”



Blake Fielder-Civil Blames Fame For His Drug Addiction


Blake Fielder-Civil blames his ex-wife Amy Winehouse’s fame for his drug addiction.

Blake, 26, whose divorce from the ‘Rehab’ singer was finalized in August 2009, insists drugs became readily available to both him and Amy, 26, when she became successful, and they indulged.

Speaking to new! magazine, Blake said, ,”It started after a few years. At first, we both enjoyed having a good time, but there were no drugs.

“But as soon as Amy started getting recognised, more drugs started coming into the equation. That, coupled with the massive fame she experienced, perhaps made her indulge in certain choices that I made that she wouldn’t have in the past.”

Blake is full of praise for Amy for overcoming her addictions but believes there were many people who would have been happier if she had stayed on drugs.

He said, “People have got to remember that she’s come out of it and turned her life around when there were probably 20 or 30 people around her at some stage that would have had every interest in keeping her on drugs and made a lot of money out of her. Like me, she’s managed to come out the other side.”

Blake does admit that he and Amy were a bad influence on each other, and their relationship – which on occasions turned violent – was ultimately destructive.

He said, “At the time, we were so scared of being separated from each other that we didn’t trust other people’s motives. You just end up imploding and drugs took that pain away.

“We did try and make wholehearted attempts to stop on a few occasions and went to rehab clinics, but it just wasn’t working.

Speaking about the physical and emotional pain of drug addiction, Blake added, “You wake up and you’re poorly. Then you have to see somebody you don’t really like to pick up drugs, pay a massive amount of money and then perhaps you can function throughout the day. The nature of addiction is that you have to persevere in it, otherwise the physical sickness you get is unbearable.”



Telephatic Bride Katy Perry


Katy Perry got Russell Brand to propose to her by using telepathy.

The ‘California Gurls’ singer, who got engaged to the reformed hellraiser in December after a whirlwind romance, constantly ‘told’ the British comic star she wanted him to pop the question by using the power of her mind.

She explained, “I was trying to make him tell me that he wanted to marry me telepathically. Every night we looked into each other’s eyes and I was thinking, ‘Please ask me, please ask me.’

“Then, when we finally talked about the idea of getting married, he admitted he was thinking the same – he’d been trying to tell me that I was the woman he wanted to marry by communicating it with his eyes.

“So all the time we’d been sending each other subliminal messages!”

The 25-year-old pop star, who previously dated Gym Class Heroes lead vocalist Travis McCoy – also revealed she and Russell like to make up stories about their impending nuptials so their true wedding plans remain secret.

She told Britain’s Star magazine, “Russell makes up these really crazy stories about me and our wedding. I make up stories, too – I said he was a ‘groomzilla’. He said I farted a lot, but I’ve never farted in front of him – honestly!

“I hear these crazy stories – we are going to get married in latex, underwear, in Spandex, in Japan, in India, in Thailand. But I think all this craziness about my marriage is really funny.

“And I don’t set the record straight as I love this chaotic circus of wrong information, because it is not really anyone else’s business beside the people that we have invited and us, of course.”



Geri Halliwell’s Holiday Bust-Up With Boyfriend Henry Beckwith

Geri Halliwell was left “fuming” when she caught her boyfriend gazing at another woman.

The former Spice Girls singer was on a romantic holiday in St. Tropez, France with her lover Henry Beckwith, who she has been dating since March 2009, when they started rowing after she caught him staring at a young brunette in a bikini top and tiny white shorts.

A source told Mail Online, “Geri was absolutely fuming. She was shouting at him and telling him what for. Clearly, she was not happy about his wandering eye. As soon as she clocked him, she turned around herself to see what he was looking at and then she twigged.”

The pair had been strolling hand-in-hand along the seafront when Henry got distracted, stopped walking and turned around to get a better view of the woman.

The 37-year-old singer reportedly started screaming at him, throwing her arms in the air and pushed at his chest in anger.

A passer-by even approached the couple to make sure everything was OK.

After their feud, Geri and Henry cut their evening short and quickly jumped in a dingy which took them back to their yacht.
