Lindsay Lohan's soon-to-be mother in law, Ann Dexter-Jones (the mother of Samantha Ronson, in case you didn't put that together) was spotted outside the Bowery in New York after Lindsay's little paparazzi-smacking incident.
First, she was stupid drunk.
Secondly, she expressed no shock whatsoever at the fact that Lindsay had just struck a paparazzi.
Thoughts?
Thanks Emily! />

No?
You're not alone.
In fact, the former rocker has written a memoir titled When I Grow Up, detailing the painful fall from stardom -- the journey from appearing on late-night talk shows to performing to empty audiences in small-town bars.
"It's interesting what happens when you have a dream and your dream comes true," she said in a recent interview. "Then the dream coming true creates a new reality. You have to adjust to a new reality which is not exactly what you thought."
Above find a clip of Juliana playing her hit "Spin the Bottle" on Jay Leno a million years ago. I actually remember loving this song. />

So I'm bummed about David Foster Wallace today. I'm bummed because here was a brilliant guy who knew what the solution was and just couldn't live it consistently. And so where does that leave the rest of us? It scares me.
I'm bummed about Lehman Brothers today, and I'm bummed for my friends who work there.
I'm bummed, just in a general sense, that Sarah Palin is on a Presidential ticket instead of Tina Fey (or, ya know, Hillary Clinton).
And then I come across Holly Madison's new MySpace blog, and it's called "RIP David :(" and I'm like "OMG Holly Madison is sad that David Foster Wallace died? I guess I'd underestimated her."
But no.
This is the post:
RIP David :(
I am so devestated right now. I had this amazing Flemish Giant rabbit that my friend gave me. She was a rare smoke blue color and was the sweetest animal you could ever meet. I named her David LaChapelle after my favorite photographer. After the great zoo staff here at the Mansion and I raised her, we had her fixed and set her free on the property to play with the other rabbits. She loved to hang out on the front lawn and becuase of her close interaction with me and the staff, she was not afraid of people.
Long story short, some stupid fucking drunk asshole picked her up during one of the parties and dropped her, breaking her back and paralyzing her without telling anyone. I can only imagine how much pain she was in before someone finally found her and had her put to sleep. I am so devestated by this. I hate stupid fucking drunk people and I will never be able to walk outsode this house into one of the parties again without thinking about this whole incident. It makes me hate everybody.
Thanks for listening. Please excuse the typos. I am too emotional to care.
Love-Holly
And this just breaks my heart even more. It makes me think of how sad I was when Charlie died and how devastated I'd be if any of my animals today were hurt -- and especially if someone did it to them and then allowed them to suffer -- and I'm just really angry for Holly and sad and disappointed in general.
Say something to cheer me up, you guys. />So I'm bummed about David Foster Wallace today. I'm bummed because here was a brilliant guy who knew what the solution was and just couldn't live it consistently. And so where does that leave the rest of us? It scares me.

Lehman Brothers filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this morning, leading to a sharp drop in stock markets all around the world.
Asia tumbled first on the news Monday, followed by the Middle East, Russia and then Europe before the shockwave hit the North and South American markets.
"The collapse of Lehman Brothers has sent a major jolt through global financial markets as it is by far the biggest victim of the credit crisis that started in August 2007 and had been considered too big to fail," said Global Insight economist Howard Archer.
"There is obviously widespread concern about other banks' exposure to Lehman Brothers, not only in the US but also in Europe. Lehman's collapse also increases concerns that other banks could fail."
At the same time, the dollar fell heavily against the euro before recovering some lost ground in volatile trade while oil prices slumped to seven-month lows under 93 dollars on fears the crisis will slow growth and curb energy demand.
On Wall Street, stocks were down 2.72 percent at around 1600 GMT.
"Everything else is pushed aside as the stock market attempts to figure out what the sale of Merrill and bankruptcy of Lehman will do to both the stock market and the economy," said Al Goldman at Wachovia Securities.
Think on the bright side, single women of New York City: Now all Lehman's investment bankers will FINALLY have time to go to the clubs and hit on you. Ahhhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Wall Street saw its worst day since the post-9/11 aftermath on Monday, with the Dow dropping 504 points on news that Lehman declared bankruptcy and Merrill Lynch was sold to B of A to avoid a similar fate itself. Here are some cute kittens to help you digest that news.
And I'm reading a lot lately about how those "greedy bastards" got what they deserved, and I feel like a lot of this venom is unwarranted. These people are my friends. I have an MBA, albeit the most underutilized MBA on the ...

Oh, and there's also going to be movie trivia, MC'd by the one and only Laremy Legel, who is, in all honesty, one of the funniest people I know. And I pretty much collect funny people, so that's saying something. I'd recommend going just to watch him be funny.
It starts at 8 pm tomorrow (9/16) at the Sole Repair Shop in Cap Hill (1001 E Pike Street, Seattle, Wa). Bring your friends! Bring your movie knowledge! Bri...

Hooray for Christina Applegate, who is back on the set of her TV show Samantha Who? after undergoing a double mastectomy in July after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
Christina is expected to present at the Emmys this year, where she's nominated as lead actress in a comedy series.
GET YOUR TITTIES CHECKED, LADIES!!!...
"[L]earning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed. Think of the old cliché about quote the mind being an excellent servant but a terrible master.
This, like many clichés, so lame and unexciting on the surf...
Ooooh, I know I shouldn't be this excited about this, BUT I AM!
Britney Spears' new album, Circus, will hit stores on December 2, which is Britney's birthday. Luckily for me, it's also my father's birthday, which makes it easier for me to remember to call him. It's, like, my college boyfriend's birthday is the same day that one of my best friends got a boob job a few years back. So, every year on that day, I call my girlfriend to wish the twins a happy birthday. And then I'm like, "Oh, I h...
