New Pals? Lady Gaga Hung Out With Lindsay Lohan At The Chateau Marmont

Posted 7/12/12 10:41 am EST by in Lady Gaga, Lindsay Lohan, Tweet Beat

Lindsay Lohan is on the road to redemption, and now she's been blessed by one of pop's biggest deities: Lady Gaga.

LiLo got Gaga's unofficial thumbs up earlier this week when the pair hung out at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles. Yesterday (July 11), in a series of tweets that Gaga has for some reason since deleted (but which the pop savants at ONTD captured first), the pop star joked with the actress about ordering a cucumber and knife at the famed hotel.

"When you ordered a cucumber and a knife to the bar last night I thought you were gonna perform a vasectomy #justaskinnyb**ch," Gaga tweeted at Lohan.

Lohan responded with, "#skinnysnack1 @ladygaga hahaha."

Gaga's decision to ditch the tweets* but leave the image up on her Instagram account may have something to do with the hashtag she chose. The pop diva got flack earlier this year when she tweeted about eating a salad while craving a cheeseburger with the hashtage #PopStarsDontEat.

The tweet upset fans who thought Gaga was making light of a serious issue and even inspired a response from the National Eating Disorder Association, who hit their own Twitter account to respond, saying, "Huh? This is the same person who recently implored girls to stop dieting?"

We will say that as long-time fans hoping that Lohan keeps it together and gets her career back on track, we are happy to see that she's hanging around a put-together star like Gaga instead of the crew she used to roll with!

*Ed note: Thank you to eagle-eyed commentor gagaloola who let us know that Twitter made some recent changes to celeb accounts, so while Gaga's tweets with Lohan do not appear in her feed when you visit her Twitter, a simple click on "All" reveals they have not been deleted. Carry on!

Michael Jackson's Estate Sued For $1 Billion And Three Other Outrageous Celebrity Lawsuits

Posted 6/7/12 12:36 pm EST by in Lawsuit, Lindsay Lohan, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson and his estate have faced more than their share of strange lawsuits, but this latest one has got to be one of the most outrageous.

Kimberly Griggs filed handwritten paperwork in San Diego, California claiming she had an intimate relationship with Jackson in 1979 and that he went on to use personal details about her life in his music, TMZ reports. She says he wrote about their affair on his Thriller, Bad and Dangerous albums and, after exploiting her personal secrets, promised to give her the rights to the tracks.

He never did give her the rights to his music, of course, and now she is suing for $1 billion in damages.

TMZ sought comment from Jackson's estate, but the calls were curiously not returned.

This latest suit reminds us that Jackson isn't the only celeb to get slapped with a multi-million (sometimes multi-billion) dollar lawsuit that seems, well, a little off the wall (pun intended)! More than a few big names have found themselves embroiled in outrageous lawsuits, whether they're targeted by others (as is the case with Jackson today) or the ones doing the filing.

Below are three of the most outlandish celeb litigations to see the light of day. Check it out!

Miley Cyrus

In 2009, the recently engaged starlet found herself in some hot water after a racially-insensitive photo of her making "slant eyes" found its way online. She was widely criticized by Asian and Pacific Islander groups who said the photo reinforced racial stereotypes, and Cyrus issued a public apology on her website saying, "I've also been told there are some people upset about some pictures taken of me with friends making goofy faces! Well, I'm sorry if those people looked at those pics and took them wrong and out of context! … In NO way was I making fun of any ethnicity!"

But that wasn't enough for one Los Angeles woman, who filed a, ahem, $4 billion class action lawsuit against the former Hannah Montana – who was 16 at the time – on behalf of LA's Asian-American community, alleging the pic mocked Asians and that she (and presumably many others) was left emotionally distressed after seeing it. The lawsuit was ultimately dismissed by the Los Angeles Superior Court.

Lindsay Lohan On 'Lockdown' To Avoid Any Run-Ins With The Law

Posted 3/19/12 1:21 pm EST by in Lindsay Lohan

LiLo

After finding herself in a near-miss situation with a paparazzi photographer last week, Lindsay Lohan has put herself on "lockdown" until her probation ends on March 29.

Apparently tired of the jail/fine/community service cycle she's been in for years – random fact: probation violations aside, can you guess the actual crime Lindsay is still paying for? (It's a 2007 DUI) – Lohan is putting her head down and going into hiding to avoid even the possibility of more trouble.

According to her rep (via TMZ), Lindsay is "very focused on completing her community service" and has been getting great progress reports from her judge.

So, with her recent highly rated "SNL" hosting stint behind her and filming on the TV movie "Dick & Liz" set to commence shortly, the reportedly clean-and-sober actress would rather hang in than risk having anything happen to jeopardize her completing her probation and community service.

"They made it seem like she's locked in her bedroom and is not allowed to come out for the next 3 weeks. Definitely not true," a source tells US Weekly. "She has said she's wanted to lay low and is looking forward for all of this to be over."

Freedom is so close she can taste it. Get it, Linds!

Has Lindsay Lohan's Legal Drama Cost Taxpayers Millions?

Posted 11/7/11 4:37 pm EST by in Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan

Everybody has an opinion about Lindsay Lohan.

Most people have negative feelings about the once-promising actress, bemoaning her wasted talent, how tiresome the media's blanket coverage of her continuous troubles has become and her apparent disregard for the orders of the court. (This would all be over if you'd just do your damn community service, Lindsay! Shut up and get to the morgue; someone's gotta scrub those floors and a judge determined that that person is you whether you like it or not.)

Anyway, something else has recently come to light regarding Lohan that is probably going to make people even more angry – her never-ending court saga has likely cost California taxpayers millions, according to a report from FOX News.

"From logistics to the transcript reporters to the clerks, it is exorbitantly expensive to have a court appearance. It is important we understand what a waste of time this is,” former federal prosecutor Michael Wildes of Wildes & Weinberg tells FOX. “It costs tens of thousands of dollars per court appearance for all the clerks, the security, and those court reporters who get paid by the page, not to mention all the collateral support for something like this. Plus it diverts the administration of justice for other matters."

If Wildes' estimate is true – that the combined cost of staffing and securing each appearance costs many thousand dollars – it should be multiplied by 20, which is how many court appearances Lohan has made since her first arrest in 2007 for drunk driving. That adds up to a whole lot of cash. Read More...

Love Triangle Update: Hilary Duff Is Married And Pregnant, Aaron Carter And Lindsay Lohan Are Doing ... Something?

Posted 8/15/11 1:24 pm EST by in hilary duff, Lindsay Lohan

Hilary Duff

Back in the early part of this millennium, there was a love triangle between three of the tween world's biggest stars – Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and Aaron Carter. That's right, long before they grew up (and Duff announced her pregnancy over the weekend) and the world took them in very different directions, teen dreams LiLo and Duff were once in a bit of a heated feud over the affections of Backstreet brother Carter.

Duff and Carter began dating back in 2001. They met on the set of her hit Disney series, "Lizzie McGuire." Things were going great for the two … until flame-haired love sorceress (and then-major movie star) Lindsay Lohan came along. Carter reportedly cheated with Lohan while still with Duff and eventually it all came crashing down in a very public way.

At the time, it seemed they all had a pretty good shot at making the transition from teen star to adult superstar. But a decade later, things turned out … um, different. If someone had told us then that Duff would go on to best Lohan in not only the boy department but also with her career and image, we would have been a little surprised. OK, so Duff was kind of the Miley Cyrus of her day, but Lohan showed so much promise that nothing seemed like it could knock her off her Hollywood trajectory. As for Carter, well that's a whole other story. Read More...

From Beyonce To Britney Spears, Is It Ever A Good Idea To Be Managed By A Parent?

Posted 7/13/11 4:30 pm EST by in Beyonce, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan

Beyonce

By Morgan Schwartz

Father knows best. Or at least that’s what celebrities sometimes tell themselves when hiring one or more of their parents to help out with their careers. But does being a good mom or dad necessarily translate into being a stellar manager?

Beyonce is just the most recent star to experience some of the trauma that comes along with hiring a parent to help shape a career. Bey, who made it big with Destiny’s Child before branching off and becoming a superstar solo artist, enlisted the help of both her mom and her dad from the start. Mom Tina took on the role of “stylist,” while dad Matthew stepped in as her manager. While things were seemingly going well, it was announced in March that Beyonce and her dad had “parted ways amicably” (she continues to work with her mother). Now, speculation has surfaced that the separation may not have been as friendly as previously reported.

Although we can’t really speak to the situation – neither Beyonce’s camp nor Live Nation are commenting – it has given us inspiration to look back at other celebrity/parent working relationships to help us decide whether or not hiring a family member is a good or bad idea in showbiz.

Lindsay Lohan

Let’s start with Lindsay Lohan. It’s no secret that drama follows this girl wherever she goes, so it should come as no surprise that her working relationship with her mom Dina is known to be somewhat of a disaster. Dina has worked as Lindsay’s manager despite constant criticism about the way she interacts with her eldest daughter. The Long Island native was known to constantly party with Lindsay, speak publicly about LiLo without her permission, and act as an enabler for the bad behavior we know Lindsay loves to get up to. Lindsay’s dad is also notorious for riding on his daughter’s coattails and making statement after statement about her wrecked reputation. Although never officially employed by Lindsay, Michael Lohan has managed to impact her career (probably for the worse).

Read on for our verdict on Lindsay’s working relationship with her parents as well as our thoughts on the Kardashians, the Simpsons and Britney Spears. Read More...

Lindsay Lohan Checks Out Mel B And Kelly Monaco's 'Peepshow'

Posted 4/20/09 12:13 pm EST by in Lindsay Lohan

PEEPSHOWYou've seen the Spice Girls' Melanie Brown and soap star Kelly Monaco do the rumba and the samba on "Dancing With the Stars," but you probably haven't seen them dance like this yet.

The two stars have teamed up to headline "Peepshow," a modern burlesque show set to open at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Mel B plays the mistress of ceremonies, the Peep Diva, while Monaco is Bo Peep, the Diva's timid protégé.

They were joined at the show's opening-night party last night by none other than Linday Lohan, who may be back to her hard-partying ways after her breakup from Sam Ronson. Could LiLo be interested in guest-starring in the show too? Read More...

Lindsay Lohan, You're Starting To Scare Us. Again.

Posted 4/16/09 2:07 pm EST by in Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan used to be a megastar in the making with gorgeous red hair, a face full of adorable freckles and a winning smile. Like in 2004's "Mean Girls" or 2005's "Herbie: Fully Loaded."

Then, for a while, she had blond hair and got scary skinny and was clearly having a lot of fun and not taking great care of herself. Then she made some bad movies and wasn't as big a star anymore. She got arrested for a DUI, providing the Internet with a really great mugshot. So she want to rehab and threw a in Las Vegas party when she got out. She didnt look healthy. I wanted to buy her a double-stack at Subway and make her take a nap for a while.

She started "hanging out" with Samantha Ronson and really looked great.

Well not to get all superficial, but I think it's time to worry again. Last night, she came out of post-breakup seclusion for an Armani Exchange event. Her eyes are glassy and tired looking. Her arms are skinny and she just doesn’t look happy.

Lindsay Lohan’s Spray-Tan And Diamond Emporium

Posted 2/24/09 1:32 pm EST by in Lindsay Lohan

It often seems like the only projects Lindsay Lohan tackles are partying and getting her picture taken. But, the actress-turned-leggings-designer is expanding her horizons.

We'll let her explain what's been filling her plate these days. (Spolier alert: It includes a spray tan line!) "I actually am starting a spray tan. I'm doing it through Sephora. And it's really exciting cause it's really good and I'm really happy about that," she told E! Online. "My friend and I just had an idea so we did it through my company."

Lohan isn't a one-trick pony, though — she's also concentrating on high-brow projects like, um, a diamond line. Yes, a diamond line. "I'm starting to do a diamond line. I designed this one [points to her jewelry] with my friend Karen from 14 Karats. This is a sliver diamond. Everyone thinks it's a stone and I'm like, 'No it's a diamond, it's not a stone.'

Lindsay Lohan Sued By Three Unwilling Joyride Passengers

Posted 10/22/08 12:33 pm EST by in Lawsuit, Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan
Three young men who claimed Lindsay Lohan commandeered their vehicle and took them on a white-knuckle high-speed chase on Santa Monica-area highways that ended with the actress' arrest on DUI charges last July have filed suit over the bizarre incident, The Associated Press reports.

Dante Nigro, Jakon Sutter and Ronnie Blake sued Lohan last week for battery, false imprisonment, assault, intentional infliction of emotional distress, slander and negligence, seeking damages in excess of $25,000. Two months after the incident, the actress pleaded guilty to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine that night and an earlier drunken-driving arrest, serving 84 minutes in jail before entering rehab.
