A Statement from Lindsay Lohan

lindsay_dui.jpg "It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs. Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have. I very much want to be ...

Lindsay Lohan Will Do Jail Time! (But Not Much)

It's not the multiple years people had speculated she might do. It's not even the 40+ days Paris Hilton got for driving on a suspended license. No, Lindsay's plea deal stipulates that, for her second DUI in less than a year, she will do around four days in jail. It's the Nicole Richie sentence.
She just struck a deal by pleading no contest to two counts of DUI (driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher). By law, Lohan becomes a second offender (with two DUIs) and must serve a minimum of four days in jail. Lohan also pled no contest to two counts of being under the influence of a controlled substance (two separate incidents) and reckless driving -- all misdemeanors. The judge just said Lohan will serve 36 months probation and attend an alcohol education program for 18 months for the first DUI.
Looks like the Paris Hilton thing was just a blip on the horizon. Celebrity justice is back in full effect. />It's not the multiple years people had speculated she might do.

Justin Timberlake to Star in the Love Guru Opposite Mike Myers and Jessica Alba After two relatively ill-received attempts at live acting in film (Alpha Dog and Black Snake Moan), Justin Timberlake is hoping the third time's the charm, and has signed on to play opposite Mike Myers in the upcoming The Love Guru.

Will There Be a Ferris Bueller Sequel???

A Ferris Bueller Sequel? Ooooh, this could be so very good or so very, very bad. There is a finished script being shopped in Hollywood for a sequel to the 1986 teen classic. Titled "Ferris Bueller 2: Another Day Off," the movie places Ferris on the eve of his 40th birthday. The script was written by Rick Rapier, a screenwriter based in Arizona. Rapier provided "Stuck in the '80s" with an exclusive and complete copy of the 106-page script. Is it good? I thought it was a blast. I read it in a single afternoon and...

Who’s Hotter: Jason Schwartzman or Adrien Brody

jason1.jpg The two of them showed up in Beverly Hills last week to do a press conference for their upcoming Wes Anderson film, The Darjeeling Limited, which also stars Owen Wilson (but you can't vote for him) and Natalie Portman (who is clearly hotter than any of these people). So I'm looking through these pictures trying to decide which of them I should focus this post on. "Who's hotter?" I asked myself. "Jason Schwartzman or Adrien Brody?" And what I decided is that I'm not sure. So I'm putting it to ...

Scarlett Johansson Is Seriously Coming Out with an Album of Tom Waits Covers

Scarlett Johansson Releasing Album of Tom Waits Covers A part of me wanted to believe she was joking about that, but, if it's a joke, she's still running with it. She's been doing promotion for The Nanny Diaries, and recently did an interview with the AP about her upcoming projects. Says Scarlett: I've always been a huge fan of Tom Waits and I had this kind of golden opportunity to make an album however I wanted and it's kind of a dream chance. ... Originally I thought that I would do an album of standards and I wanted to include a Tom Waits song. And I don't know, I thought maybe everybody does standards, and so, I see Tom Waits as being...

Carey Hart Says Everything’s Fine with Pink Marriage

carey_pink.jpg Rumors swirled last week that motorcrosser/tattoo parlor owner/reality TV star/husband of Pink Carey Hart was cheating on his woman. “He had a cute blonde in a tight dress sitting on his lap all night. They were laughing and drinking vodka with her arms wrapped around him in a corner VIP booth," a source told Star Magazine. Now Carey is fighting back against the rumors. It's "just a bunch of trash talk," he tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "It's just a nasty rumor. Everything...

Lindsay Lohan is Getting Off EASY

lohan_dui.jpg Paris Hilton has got to be pissed. Whereas Lindsay Lohan should have been looking at years in jail following her summer string of DUIs, the LA district attorney charged her with a seven misdemeanors, and no felonies. She's been charged with two counts of driving under the influence, driving with a blood-alcohol level above .08 percent and being under the influence of cocaine and one count of reckless driving. Says a law enforcement source: "Prosecutors in this county see a lot of kids ...
