TweetLindsay Lohan’s dad arrested again
Seriously, what is Michael Lohan’s problem?
Lindsay Lohan’s role model of a father was arrested again in New York on allegation he called his ex-girlfriend, according to the Associated Press.
Lohan was charged with criminal contempt on Thursday, Jan. 28. He was arrested on a similar charge last month.
According to an New York Post article, Lohan allegedly called Erin Muller’s job on Jan. 21, violating a restraining order she had filed against him over harassment claims.
There have been several allegations of abuse between the pair. Lohan has denied he threatening to kill Muller and himself in April if she left him.
In June, a judge said Lohan would avoid prosecution on an aggravated harassment charge if he stayed clear of trouble for a year, the AP says.
Doesn’t look like that has happened.
He is due to appear in court Feb. 25.

TweetLady Gaga and Elton rumored to perform at Grammys
At least one performance at Sunday’s Grammy Awards won’t bore you to tears.
Rumor has it that Rocket Man Elton John will perform with “Poker Face” singer Lady Gaga at the annual snore-fest.
No word on what song they will sing, but it will surely inject a little blood into the show that will give special props to Michael Jackson.
The Grammys will broadcast a 3-D clip the singer made for his hit “Earth Song,” a video that was to be integral to his comeback concerts in London as part of a posthumous tribute.

TweetJay Leno to Oprah: “I felt really bad for Conan,” but…
On a show set to air today, Jay Leno tells Oprah Winfrey that he “felt really” bad Conan O’Brien got kicked off the “Tonight Show,” but Leno said he wasn’t to blame.
“I think it’s unfair, but TV is not fair,” Leno told the TV queen.
Leno said that he regrets the Tonight Show flip-flop disaster wasn’t handled better, but he said he doesn’t know what he would do differently.
He said he couldn’t leave his staff high and dry.
“By walking away that is an ego decision,” Leno said. “‘You all fend for yourselves. Good luck finding job. I am out of here.’”
Oprah didn’t let him off easily, asking why he didn’t quit like Conan did.
“I could have done that, but I didn’t,” he said. “They offered me my old job back which is a dream job. I said OK.”
Leno said the key to this whole thing is not to be bitter.
“I think Conan said it best when he said ‘don’t be cynical’,” Leno said.
Leno said that he hasn’t spoken to Conan because the time has not been right.
He said he would like to have O’Brien on his show in the future, but doesn’t know if O’Brien would be willing .
He said he thought O’Brien would have a successful show on FOX or where ever he ends up.
We will all compete again,” he said. “May the best man win.”

MSNBC’s Chris Matthew couldn’t ‘sort of’ pull his foot out of his mouth fast enough.

He said Obama was ‘post-racial’ and spoke to all Americans.
“I forgot he was black tonight for an hour,” Matthews said. “I said wait a minute, he’s an African American guy in front of a bunch of other white people.”

TweetAhead of sex tape allegations, news that John and Elizabeth Edwards have split
Days before a tell-all book hits the street, ABC News sources claim that Elizabeth Edwards is legally separated from her cheating dog husband.
John and Elizabeth Edwards’ marriage has apparently been on the rocks since allegations first surfaced that he fathered a videographer’s child.
Problem is that Elizabeth is not a videographer. Oooh, snap.
Edwards last week admitted he fathered Rielle Hunter’s daughter.
If getting another woman pregnant wasn’t bad enough, a new book claims Johnny did all sorts of naughtiness with Hunter in Elizabeth’s bed.
“The New York Daily News” says that a new book by Edwards’ former aid — the dude who at first said he fathered Hunter’s child — claims a sex tape was even made.
Andrew Young’s book, “The Politician”, also says the former senator (called Love Lips by Hunter) urged Hunter to abort their child, the newspaper says.
Oddly enough, Young claims Edwards refused to get a divorce because he loved his Elizabeth so much.
More importantly voters loved her so much.
The book will be released Saturday, Jan. 30.

TweetDoes Brad Pitt Smell?
Time will tell if Brad and Angie are really over, but Eonline’s Ted Casablanca claims Brad smells.
Something’s up…definitely,” an unnamed “friend” said according to Casablanca’s blog. “Brad is looking horrible. Just horrible. He smells more than ever.”
What kind of friend is that?
If you smell, your friend should whisper it in your ear. He or she should definitely not, not, not tell a gossip column.
A stinky Brad Pitt would still be hot, but it wouldn’t be ideal.
Only the elite knows if Angelina Jolie’s man actually does smell, but the heartthrob has been rocking a rather gnarly beard.
Who knows how much nacho cheese sauce has been captured in that thing.

TweetMichael Vick promotes his upcoming reality show
Michael Vick took to the radio waves Wednesday, Jan. 27, to promote his upcoming BET series “The Michael Vick Project.”
The disgraced football player told Tom Joyner’s national radio show audience that dogfighting is wrong and he is ashamed he ever took part in the vicious blood sport.
The show set to debut Tuesday, Feb 2, is supposed to show that Vick is a changed man.
Anything is possible, but jeez, that would be a lot of change.
Pitbulls were fought, maimed and killed for six years at Vick’s “Bad Newz Kennels.”
Vick told Tom Joyner that animal rights group PETA has laid off of his case because of the money he has donated to the Humane Society and because he now speaks against dogfighting.
He said he wants to encourage kids not to follow him down a destructive path.
“You never know what you have until it is gone,” said Vick, who played the 2009 NFL season with the Eagles.
He said he blames himself for the crime that landed him in federal prison for 18 months on dogfighting charges.
In the first episode of the 10-part documentary-style show, Vick visits the site of his gruesome crimes, according to the Associated Press.
Vick reportedly discusses his childhood experiences with dogfighting and how it became his second career.
“This is hard to imagine myself doing this years ago, man,” Vick said.
What do you think? Is the show a good idea?

TweetTila Tequila says she’s pregnant
Tila Tequila says she is pregnant.
The grody MTV reality star is willing to sell photos of the child unfortunate enough to be growing in her belly, according to TMZ.com.
Tequila said the media has it all wrong.
“That’s why I beat around the bush with MEDIA about my baby cuz I don’t want to exploit my baby nor “SELL BABY PICS” to magazines,” she posted on Twitter today, Tuesday, Jan. 26.
Judging by her Twitter page, Tequila’s very excited.
“I’m taking a trip soon leave town & be with the Father of my child! I won’t come back to LA until I feel it’s safe! But omg TIla is a MOMMY!,” she tweeted.
The ‘lucky’ baby daddy is reportedly a Swedish man.
This all adds fuel to speculation that Tequila’s relationship with Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson was a sham.
Brandon “Bo” Kunkle of Fairborn was so lucky he didn’t win Tequila’s hand on MTV’s “A Shot at Love.”

Tweet“American Idol” contestant booted from the show
It looks like a daddy big-mouth has spoiled an American Idol hopeful’s dream.
Rumor has it that American Idol contestant Michael “Big Mike” Lynche has been disqualified from the singing competition because his dad confirmed he had made the top 24, according to The St. Peterburg Times.
The newspaper reported last week that Lynche, the son of one of the newspaper’s columnist, made the show.
His father, Marque Sr., confirmed he was a semifinalists. Looks like Lynche violated a confidentiality clause.

TweetJohn Edwards admits he is the baby’s daddy
This just in from the land of really, John Edwards admits he is the baby’s daddy.
The former Democratic presidential candidate admitted Thursday he fathered a child with videographer Rielle Hunter.
Quinn Hunter was born in 2008.
Is anyone shocked by this “revelations?”
The confession comes just a head of a tell-all book by Edwards’ former campaign aide - the same guy who at first claimed paternity of the child in question.
“It was wrong for me to ever deny she was my daughter,” Edwards said, adding he was providing financial support for the child and mother. “I am Quinn’s father,” Edwards said according to the Associated Press.
What a dirty, dirty D.O.G. It is one thing to cheat on a wife with cancer and another to deny an child named Quinn.
Elizabeth Edwards told the AP that she is relieved that her big-toothed husband finally told the truth, but she wouldn’t exactly comment on her martial status.
“If somebody has a crystal ball, they can let me know,” she said when asked about the future with John Edwards.
Run Elizabeth, run real fast.

His employees will also receive a severance.
The catch according to TMZ is that any money Conan makes during his remaining contract period with NBC will offset what the network actually has to pay him.
This means that if FOX or another network picks him up and pays him top dollar, NBC’s obligation will be a lot less.

TweetHas Jay Leno won back ‘The Tonight Show?’
Looks like Jay Leno wins the chicken dinner.
In this case the chicken dinner is “The Tonight Show.”
Leno has signed a deal with NBC that give him the “Tonight Show” from 11:35 p.m. 12:35 a.m., TMZ says.
If TMZ has it right (NBC denies that they do), Conan O’Brien is the chicken dinner loser.
He’ll likely go out with this redhead held high.
Conan has already rejected an NBC offer that would have had him host an hour-long show starting at 12:05 a.m.

In another odd incident, A 17-year-old boy claimed Williams held him against his will at an estate on Nov. 3.
A few days later, Williams was arrested on charges he stole items from that estate. He was charged with burglary and criminal trespassing.
Williams has denied stealing anything, calling the incident a “misunderstanding between me and two stupid detectives.”

He says the Tonight Show at 12:05 a.m. simply isn’t the Tonight Show.
“I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting,” he wrote.
He says he has no other offers from other networks and doesn’t know what will happen next.
“My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.”
Do you agree?
Read the statement below:
People of Earth:In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.
Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over The Tonight Show in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004 I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.
But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my Tonight Show in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime-time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.
Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 to accommodate the Jay Leno Show at 11:35. For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.
So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.
There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.
Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way. Yours, Conan

TweetSpeculation over, Simon leaving ‘American Idol’
Sometimes rumor is not just rumor.
“American Idol” judge Simon Cowell have confirmed that he’ll leave the popular FOX competition at the end of the season, according to a statement from FOX Broadcasting
Cowell plans to launch an American version of his hit British show “The X Factor” on FOX in 2011.
“I’m thrilled that we have put a date on the launch of the U.S. version of ‘The X Factor,’ and delighted to be continuing to work with Fox,” Cowell said in the statement released by FOX “We have a fantastic relationship, a great team and are all very excited about this.”
Cowell launched The X Factor n the U.K. in 2004. It is seen in 17 countries worldwide with a global audience of more than 500 million.
Cowell will serve as the American version’s executive producer and a judge.
This is all good for Cowell, but what about people who secretly enjoy watching him make American Idol contestants cry.
Hopefully the show will fine someone to fill Simon’s less than friendly slacks.
Randy, Kara and new judge Ellen DeGeneres are too nice.
Over the years, American Idol fans have developed a love hate relationship with Simon. Will you miss him?

TweetDISSED! What should Conan Do?
Getting dissed is never easy. Being dissed in front of the nation … geez.
Needless to say Conan O’Brien can’t be too pleased that NBC is tearing a way his time slot and giving it to Jay Leno.
If you haven’t heard, Jay is going be back on NBC at 11:35 p.m. for a half hour show.
How could he be anything but disappointed?
The leggy redhead fought long and hard to get the “Tonight Show” gig. Mere months after finally landing it, it is snatched a way.
But what should Conan do?
* Word has it that FOX is interested in stealing him from NBC.
* NBC is not totally kicking Conan to the curb. They’ve offered him a show at 12:05 a.m. At least he’s still better than Jimmy Fallon who would come on at 1:05 a.m.
* Conan could always leave late night altogether or go nuts, revealing all of the network’s deep dark secrets. (it’s a corporation, I am sure he knows some.)
What do you think Conan should do? While you’re at it, whose your favorite late night host? Click here to let us know.

TweetBalloon Boy’s dad goes to the slammer, is this the last we’ll hear of the Heenes?
He started his jail sentence today, Monday, Jan. 11, but something tells me the world hasn’t heard the last from this nation’s #1 balloon dad.
Richard Heene turned himself into the Larimer County Detention Center for a 90 day sentence.
He must serve 30 days before he can enter a work release program , the Associated Press said.
Heene pleaded guilty last month to attempting to influence a public servant in connection to the spellbinding Oct. 15 Balloon Boy hoax.
But Heene now claims he honestly, ‘truthfully’ believed his 6-year-old son Falcon was inside the balloon the world watched floating high, high, high in the Colorado sky.
Heene even cried, cried, cried (sort of) in interviews about the case.
“The Wife Swap” subject said he pleaded guilty to the charges to appease authorities and save his wife from being deported to Japan, according to the AP.
Richard’s bride Mayumi Heene reportedly confessed the hoax. The mother of three little balloons pleaded guilty to filing a false report and faces 20 days in the Larimer County jail.
Sheriff’s investigators say she detailed her family’s intent to get a television show, and discussed their financial troubles.
Richard told the AP that his wife was just confused and didn’t know what the word “hoax” really meant.
“My wife’s first language is Japanese, not English,” Heene said. “My wife came home in tears wondering what she might have said. She opened this Japanese-to-English dictionary, and she walks up to me crying her head off, and she says to me, ‘I thought hoax meant an exhibition.’”
Oh and he says Falcon, who initially spilled the beans (“we did it for a show”) , doesn’t understand English either, Heene recently told CNN’s Larry King.
Yeah, right! Liar, Liar balloon’s on fire.
The sentencing judge said the the Heene’s could not profit from the incident in any way for four years, but I am thinking that where there is a will there is a reality show producer.

TweetProsecutors plan to indict Michael Jackson’s doctor of manslaughter
The doctor suspected of prescribing dangerous drugs to The King of Pop may soon be in police custody.
Prosecutors are planning to seek an indictment of Conrad Murray on a charge of involuntary manslaughter, according to the Associated Press.
Murray would be prosecuted for gross negligence. Prosecutors will allege Murray’s treatment of Jackson was an extreme departure from the standard of care normally followed by physicians, the AP says.
Jackson’s death was ruled a homicide last year.
Murray, a cardiologist, has been the target of a manslaughter probe headed by Los Angeles police.
He is the doctor who unsuccessfully tried to revive Michael Jackson with CPR. The King of Pop died June 25.
He reportedly told agents he administered the drugs believed to have killed Jackson.
Forensic tests found the powerful anesthetic propofol in Jackson’s system along with two sedatives, the AP reports.

In giving his two cents about Charlie Sheen’s Christmas fight with and his wife Brooke Mueller, Estevez said Mueller might just be a “drama queen,” E! Online reports.
“There’s just as much chance of her being a drama queen as of what she’s saying being true. Maybe he was angry—maybe that’s true and maybe it was an embellishment. Let’s give the couple the benefit of the doubt. I think it’s much ado about nothing,” he said according to E!.
Estevez, the younger brother of actor Martin Sheen, went on to say that his nephew is “sucking it” up and continuing to act.
Wow!
Needless to say that the actor-producer has been catching all sorts of flack for taking up for an accused woman beater.
Mueller told police Sheen, the troubled star of CBS’s “Two and a Half Men,” pinned her on a bed, put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her in a Christmas Day fight.
Sheen denied her allegations.
Joe Estevez was raised on Brown Street in the South Park neighborhood. The Chaminade High School grad started an acting career locally after his career in the Navy ended.
