La Lohan Emerges

Now that there's no warrant for her arrest pending, Lindsay Lohan apparently felt it safe to slip out of Sam Ronson's house -- where she's been hiding since Saturday -- and head out to her DUI class in Glendale. But, man, she'd almost be safer in jail than with those hordes of paparazzi. This is total insanity. "You would think it was President Obama in there," said an onlooker. "The security guards were decked out in black suits, earpieces, sunglasses. They looked like secret service." Lindsay's attending her DUI classes at a place called Right On Programs, whose website is totally awesome (JK, JK -- Lindsay Lohan could have done a better job of programming that shit while in a drunken blackout). They offer an "alternative" to 12-step programs and claim that the "positive non-judgemental approach of the meetings does not label anyone as 'alcoholic' or 'addict' but rather promotes the concept that life works better for anyone without alcohol or other drugs." Yeah, that's exactly what Lindsay Lohan needs: More people telling her ass that she's not an addict. This'll end well. /> Now that there's no warrant for her arrest pending, Lindsay Lohan apparently felt it safe to slip out of Sam Ronson's house -- where she's been hiding since Saturday -- and head out to her DUI class in Glendale.

Check Out What You’re Missing, Jen

90315W12 DAMN. Check out the bling on Kyla Weber, Vince Vaughn's fiancee. The happy couple headed out to a matinee of Coraline in Santa Monica, with Kyla, a Canadian realtor, sporting the ring rumored to be worth $125K. No wedding date has been set, but Kyla recently relocated to Los Angeles. Shit, now this is someone who has figured out how to succeed in a dying economy. Trading real estate for fucking Vince Vaughn. It's harder work, I'm sure, because you have to rummage through the belly fat and the stench of booze to get to hi...

Sci Fi Channel Changes Name to Syfy

As part of a rebranding campaign that seeks to distinguish the channel and its programming from cable competitors, the Sci Fi channel is changing its name to Syfy, with a new motto, "Imagine Greater." One big advantage of the name change, the executives say, is that Sci Fi is so generic that it could not be trademarked. They also want to be viewed as having a broader range of programming. “If you ask people their default perceptions of Sci Fi, they list space, aliens and the future,” said the president of the network. “That didn’t capture the full landscape of fantasy entertainment: the paranormal, the supernatural, action and adventure, superheroes.” Thoughts? Does anyone care? />As part of a rebranding campaign that seeks to distinguish the channel and its programming from cable competitors, the Sci Fi channel is changing its name to Syfy, with a new motto, "Imagine Greater."

"This was really much ado about nothing," Holley told ...

I'm not quite sure what, but I can't believe that he's really going to quit [acting] forever to become a rapper.  It seems odd." Gwyneth Paltrow to MTV UK when asked about her Two Lovers co-star Joaquin Phoenix and his decision to leave acting in favor of pursuing his dream of being a rapper. Also, what career advice does Gwyn have for the clumsy and violent human pogo-stick?  "Hmm ... maybe to go live in the...

Jessica Simpson Isn’t Fat-Just Stupid

jessicasimsponflub2-1 When I was in high school, I was a big fan of the band Heart.  Even when the dark-haired one got fat, I never really thought about it.  Because Heart was awesome-period. There is all this media attention focused on the size of Jessica Simpson's ass right now.  I can't help but wonder:  would anyone even care about her pant size if she was super talented and was able to, oh, I don't know-remember her lines? Jessica played the last show on her "Bob Your Head" tour with Rascal Flatts,...

An Open Letter To Jennifer Garner

Jennifer And Violet At An Event At UCLA Dear Jennifer, Thank you for eating.  Thank you for not being a size zero, seventy-two hours postpartum.  I applaud you for not celebrating each c-section by having your tummy tucked and your thighs sucked. Thank you for not hiring a stylist to "do" you before you pick up your daughter at school. Also, I'd like to thank you for shopping at mass merchandisers.  Sometimes, in photos, I recognize the Old Navy togs that your children don.  It brings me peace when I see your kid dressed in...

Is Drew Barrymore Just That Into Justin Long Again?

51468911drewbarrymore3162009101505am-1 Drew Barrymore and Justin Long may be back together again.  I thought I just read something the other day that said Long was dating his other He's Just Not That Into You co-star, Ginnifer Goodwin but New York Post claims that Barrymore and Justin were sucking face and downing drinks at Bar Marmont the other night. Now, I find Drew to be a grating little Oompa Loompa, but I liked her so much more when she was with this dude.  He totally improved her likability rating. Good luck to these two!...

The Subjects Of Charlie Sheen’s Next Divorce Filing Born On Saturday

56603635charliesheen316200992600am-1 Happy Monday! I am really into the show, Lie To Me.  It's about these face readers that identify all sorts of facial movements, body language, etc. and define what each signal really means.  Now that I'm a complete and total expert in lie detection, my family hates me.  A typical night in my home: Me:  "Do you like the chili I made?" Husband:  "Yes, it's really good." Me:  "Why are you lying to me?  I know you're lying!  You just touched your ear!  That.  Is.  Deception!...
