COKED UP AND DRUNK

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Uh-oh — looks like Lindsay Lohan might be in some deep trouble after she gets out of rehab.

Remember the little car crash that forced her into rehab in the first place? Well, TMZ now reports that our little starlet had booze and cocaine in her system at the time of the incident.

Shocking, I know.

Here’s the dish:

According to multiple law enforcement sources, toxicology reports conclude that Lohan, 20, had “nearly twice the legal limit” of alcohol and traces of blow in her bloodstream when she crashed her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 convertible into a curb on Sunset Blvd. around 5:30 AM on May 26. In California, drivers with a .08 or higher are legally drunk.

I guess that explains why La Lohan suddenly opted for the “extended” program at Promises.

Look for coppers to push a case soon.

With Paris already out and Nicole and Lindsay on their way in, is it safe to say that jail is the new Hyde?

Since leaving jail early Tuesday, Paris Hilton has posed for a People cover and pleaded her case to Larry King.

So what’s next for our favorite parolee? TMZ reports that she’s boarded a flight to the Aloha state — in a disguise, no less.

This escape might just be what everyone needs.

Scene queen Kim Kardassian…errr…Kardashian was was spotted getting her retail therapy on with a nameless and far less famous BFF yesterday at the Herve Leger and La Perla boutiques in Hollywood.

The Pussycat Doll in-training picked up a few frilly panties and bras (DDs, we’re sure) before shaking her plus-sized badonkadonk!

Just another booze-addicted hobo from the famous Bum Fights videos?

Nope, that’s mega hunk-turned-mega hairball Benicio Del Toro en route to a business meeting in Beverly Hills yesterday.

The 40-year-old actor is geting set to begin shooting ‘The Wolf Man’ next month (hence the scruffalicious ‘do) alongside fellow Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins.

IS MADGE WASTING AWAY?

Yesterday it was just her arms, but now it seems Madonna’s entire body is showing the signs of wear and tear as a result of her famous three-hour gym sessions.

The buff bod she has worked so hard for looked worn out and hungry as she dined out with friends in New York City yesterday.

Is Madge feeling the pressure to give a top notch performance at Wembley Stadium on July 7? She tops the bill at the British leg of a string of concerts across the world to raise awareness of global warming.

If you believe the rumours, the Material One’s latest fitness gadget is a gyrotonic expansion system, a wooden contraption of levers and pulleys which is supposed to elongate muscles.

CELEBRITY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

isaiah-w-newsweek.bmp

“It didn’t help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn’t a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn’t speak like I’d just left the plantation and that can be a problem for people sometimes. I had a person in human resources tell me after this thing played out that ’some people’ were afraid of me around the studio. I asked her why, because I’m a 6-foot-1, black man with dark skin and who doesn’t go around saying ‘Yessah, massa sir’ and ‘No sir, massa’ to everyone? It’s nuts when your presence alone can just scare people, and that made me a prime candidate to take the heat in a dysfunctional family.’’

Isaiah Washington tells Newsweek that he thinks race did play a role in his firing despite the fact that Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes is one of a handful of black producers in TV.

BRIT LIP SYNCS HER WAY OUT OF ENGAGEMENT

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

Lip syncing princess Britney Spears will not appear on the final show of the True Colors Tour 2007 as previously reported.As you may recall, Misha Gabriel, Brit’s choreographer, recently told People magazine the rehabbed singer will appear with iconic pop singer Cyndi Lauper at LA’ s Greek Theatre on Saturday, June 30 alongside others like Erasure, Rosie O’Donnell and Debbie Harry.

However, a source tells Page Six why that could not happen. “There’s no way. Britney said she would only dance or lip-sync - and to be on stage with Cyndi, you have to actually perform. It’s not happening now.”

A rep for True Colors said, “She was invited to appear on the first date in Las Vegas but we never heard from her.”

Britney’s decision to bail from the show will surely be a disappointment to Rosie who welcomed the songstress’ announced intent to appear with a video post on the blog saying, “Brit, if you’re watching, honey, you and me - we’re gonna share, like, a backstage moment, ’cause I love you, kid!”

Meanwhile, OK! reports that despite rumours suggesting the contrary, things are anything but peachy between Britney and her mother. The 25-year-old train wreck was reportedly “furious” that her mom had spoken to Us Weekly, since the mag has not treated Brit too kindly in recently months. “Brit feels betrayed,” says OK!’s source. “Her mom should’ve contacted her — not the media — if she wanted to talk.”

If any of you actually read the Us Weekly article, you know this story is BS. There was no “interview” with Brit’s mom — just a recount of everything that’s already happened. The only thing her mother said was that she sees good things in Britney’s future. Not the type of statement to get “furious” over exactly.

Sure, she may bank a pretty penny as a top model, but even Elizabeth Hurley cannot evade the inevitabilities of life.

While recently leaving London restaurant Cipriani, the mother-of-one revealed the ripply skin river running down the back of her thigh.

Well, it certainly could have been worse — in that pose, Liz could have reaveled a whole lot more than just a little cellulite.

Kylie Minogue took a break from putting the finishing touches on her upcoming album to enjoy a sunny vaycay in the picturesque Italian village of Portofino.The Aussie songbird took up a longstanding invitation to stay at the 300-acre home of her favourite designer Stefano Gabbana, of D&G fame.

Kylie looked blissfully happy as she was taken out on a cruiser with some friends. Almost as blissfully happy as she was last year when she visited the very same village with her now former beau, Olivier Martinez.

BABY NEWS

Finally confirming rumours of a pregnancy, sexy singer Usher and his “fiance”, Tameka Foster, told the NY Daily News that they are expecting a new little dancer this winter.

“We are extremely excited at this point in our lives, planning our wedding and the joy that comes with expecting our first child together,” the couple said.

The newspaper outed the pregnancy in April, but there was a not-so-happy spin on the story. Sources were buzzing that the bun in Tameka’s oven wasn’t baked with Usher’s seeds, if you catch my drift. Of course, Tameka dismissed that talk as complete nonsense. ‘Cause that’s never happened before.

Anyway, look for marketing genius Usher’s new album to drop in and around the time of the baby’s delivery.
