Brandy Exits “America’s Got Talent” Did you watch NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” last year? If so, you may remember the judges were David Hasselhoff, Piers Morgan, and R&B singer Brandy.

Brandy has announced that she will not be back for season two and will be replaced by reality tv star Sharon Obbourne. Brandy is still facing vehicular homicide charges … Continue reading

Are They In or Out of Rehab?

Today, guessing correctly if a celebrity is in or out of rehab has become a bit of a game, thanks to Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. The whole media circus following these two has reduced them to merely being famous for being famous. Do you actually remember Britney’s last hit? Yeah, me neither. So today, we are going to play the “Are They In or Out of Rehab” game. Let’s see how you do: Britney Spears Well, as of the latest report, Britney is now out of rehab…again. Earlier this week, it was reported that she entered and left rehab … Continue reading

A Split, A New Beginning, and a Tragic Car Accident

Lance Bass and Reichen Lehmkuhl Split It seems like just yesterday Lance Bass came out and told us about his relationship with “Amazing Race” winner Reichen Lehmkuhl, but now the two have ended their relationship. Bass’ publicist did not return calls and AP was trying to locate a rep for Lehmkuhl, but PEOPLE Magazine is reporting the two have split. Lehmkuhl, a former Air Force Captain, has a new book titled “Here’s What We’ll Say” about trying to keep his sexuality from his former Air Force colleagues. Lindsay Lohan Joins AA It is hard not to see her on the … Continue reading

Fashionably Injured

How this for irony: just a few days ago actress Lindsay Lohan was rushed to the hospital after slipping and falling at a New York City Fashion Week party. According to news reports, the 20-year-old fractured her wrist in two places. In the days following her accident it has been reported that she has been shopping in Beverly Hills (apparently she is not one to let a broken bone interfere with her favorite pastime) with a–here comes the ironic part–a fashionable wrist strap. GASP (that’s my mock surprise), a stylish cast, why should we be surprised? I saw a picture … Continue reading

William H. Macy Sets Lindsay Lohan Straight

I think of William H. Macy as an actor’s actor. He seems to be able to play any character role given to him. From Dr. David Morgenstern as the head of the emergency room in “ER” to the bumbling loser Jerry Lundegaard in Fargo (for which he received an Academy Award nomination), William H. Macy has always not only met my acting expectations, but exceeded them. He is a consummate actor. Now he is lashing out at a young star that seems to have lost her way. At the end of last month, I wrote a blog about Lindsay Lohan … Continue reading

Lindsay Didn’t Sleep Here

Only in Hollywood. Yes, only in Hollywood is it the norm to drop almost $2 million dollars on a home, never step foot into it, then turn around and try to sell it for nearly a million more than you bought it. Such is the case of actress Lindsay Lohan. According to PEOPLE Magazine, the “Georgia Rule” star recently put her West Hollywood condo on the market for a reported $2.85 million dollars. The magazine reports that Lohan bought the “2,100-sq.-ft., three-bedroom pad in Sierra Towers, just off the Sunset Strip, in 2005 for just under $2 million– but never … Continue reading

Trouble on the Set for Lindsay Lohan

I am pretty tired of seeing Lindsay Lohan in the tabloids. Lindsay is having a fight with Paris, Lindsay is falling down the stairs at Bryan Adam’s London home, Lindsay is back with on-again off-again boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama, Lindsay is anorexic. It seems no matter what she does, the tabloids have something to say about it. They especially seem to enjoy writing about bad behavior – Lindsay ignored a fan’s request for an autograph, she was underage drinking at a bar, she partied late into the night and missed a day of filming. Much of it may just be fodder … Continue reading

The Parent Trap: A Nice Remake in a Sea of Bad Ones

When it comes to remakes, I’m usually skeptical to the point of completely avoiding the remake in question. After all, Cheaper by the Dozen and Yours, Mine & Ours did nothing to change my view on the needlessness of remakes of forgotten family films. However, The Parent Trap really isn’t all that forgotten. Year later, the original film remains in rotation on The Disney Channel and parents that grew up with old VHS copies have now purchased the DVD version to show their own children. Before Lindsay Lohan became the infamous celebrity she is today, she took over the role … Continue reading
