Lindsay Lohan Gets Bail, Released From Jail

Lindsay LohanMission accomplished. Lindsay Lohan is a free woman.
She posted $300,000 bail late Friday night and was whisked away from her home away from home, Century Regional Correctional Facility, once again managing to elude the paparazzi thronged outside.
A judge overturned an earlier ruling Friday and set the amount after Lohan's attorney had argued that it was unlawful for the actress to be remanded without bail for 30 days while awaiting her Oct. 22 probation hearing.
Judge Patricia Schnegg, assistant supervising judge for the Los Angeles Criminal Courts, reviewed, considered and stamped her approval on Holley's writ of habeas corpus Friday evening.
Not that Schnegg didn't set a few rules for the just-released starlet:
Lohan will be required to report back to authorities within 24 hours to be fitted for yet another SCRAM bracelet to ensure that she stays off the sauce for the next month.
In fact, per Schnegg's order, she must "stay out of places where [alcoholic beverages] are the chief item of sale."
She is also not allowed to possess any drugs or socialize with any known drug users, and she must be willing to submit to a law-enforcement search at any time, "with or without a warrant, probably cause or reasonable suspicion."
The actress is expected to be processed out of Lynwood's Century Regional Detention Center sometime tonight.
Of course, this could just be putting off the inevitable.
The remander-in-chief, L.A. Superior Court Judge Elden Fox, told Lohan when laying out the terms of her probation last month that she would be sentenced to 30 days in jail if she failed or skipped a court-ordered drug test.
That allegedly happened two weeks ago, Lohan admitted to messing up and said she was ready to "face the consequences."


Is a Celebrity Sex Tape Ever Bad for Business?

Danielle Staub, Kim KardashianIntentionally "leaked" or not, has ANY celebrity ever actually had a setback by a sex tape's surfacing?
—Breanna H., via Facebook
You assume that people in sex tapes had careers to begin with. Kim Kardashian had plenty of ambition and fashion sense before her sex tape, but she didn't have a reality empire until after it came to light. And let's talk about Danielle Staub and Paris Hilton and the Noxema Girl—actually, let's not.
Because there's one person who, I guarantee, wishes that her sex tape never surfaced:
And that's Carrie Prejean.
After she was fired as Miss USA last year, she sued the organization, claiming religious discrimination and all this. She reportedly demanded no less than $1 million—until, that is, her solo sex tape emerged.
She walked away from the table with nothing.
"It was the biggest mistake of my life," Prejean later told Sean Hannity. "I was all by myself. I was sending a boyfriend at the time, who I loved and cared about, a video of me. I was a teenager at the time. Never did I think it would ever come out. But it was bad judgment and it's embarrassing."
Right. Unlike everything she said about gay marriage; nothing shameful there.
Need more riveting info such as this? Of course, dear, of course. Here it is, in a brand-new podcast!

Rapper Lyfe Jennings Gets Prison Sentence, Retires

Lyfe JenningsILyfe Jennings done for good, or will he rise like The Phoenix?
The platinum-selling rapper called it a career Wednesday after being sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison for firing a gun and making other bad decisions during a 2008 fight with his ex-girlfriend.
"This will be my last post," he wrote on Twitter. "To everyone who gave me a chance I am forever in your debt. I have had a fabulous career because of you...I've lived a hundred lives in these 6 yrs so I not only won't, i don't have the right to complain."
Not now you don't, anyway.
Lyfe Jennings, born Chester Bamsu Jennings, was convicted in a Fulton County court of criminal trespassing, discharging a weapon near a street, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and fleeing or attempting to elude a police offer, according to HipHopWired.
According to the complaint against him, Jennings was arrested in October 2008 after kicking in the door of the house where his ex-girlfriend and mother of his two sons, Joy Bounds, was staying, and then firing rounds from a .40-caliber weapon from out in the street. Afterward, he let officers chase him around Smyrna, Ga., for awhile. Then, after crashing his 2005 Corvette, he refused a field sobriety test.
He had already informed fans that his fourth album, I Still Believe, would be his last. Whether he meant it or not, the prison sentence handed down today means another one won't be coming for awhile.
"I would like to think that I've changed lives by changing my own, tho I can't be sure," Jennings concluded. "But one thing I am sure of is God gives and takes away in measure. He is fair, just and forever. Amen from aman... Smile, its contageous:)"
Before his music career took off, Jennings spent 10 years in prison for arson. The title of his debut studio album, Lyfe 268-192, refers to his prison ID number.

Kim Kardashian: Doc Didn't Botch My Botox

Kim KardashianKim Kardashian didn't "hate" her Botox experience because of her doctor. She just realized a few shots to the face too late that she didn't need it.
"On the show you saw I had some bruising around my eyes after the procedure, which is totally natural, but because I hadn't looked into the side effects, I freaked out," the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wrote on her blog Wednesday, referring to a recent episode on which she tried to nip aging in the bud.
And she doesn't want anyone to think that the doc who wielded the syringe did anything wrong.
"In no way was Dr. Kassabian a bad doctor," Kim writes. "It wasn't a botched job at all!!"
So if you want some, go get some!
"I am not against botox," she continued, "and I would never judge anyone else for getting any kind of surgical or non surgical procedure, but I think when you're young there are other ways you can look after your skin...Botox just wasn't necessary for me at this age."
Kim, 29, certainly isn't the first relative youngster to jump the gun in that department. But now she knows.

Katy Perry Reminds Paps Not to F--k With the Brands

Katy Perry, Russell BrandBehind every good man there's a good woman, egging him on.
"If you cross the line & try an put a lens up my dress, my fiancĂ© will do his job & protect me," Katy Perry tweeted Friday night, adding the hash tags "#standbyyourman #don'tf--kwiththeBrands." (She didn't use dashes, or consult a lawyer, apparently.)
The California Gurl was of course referring to hubby-to-be Russell Brand's arrest earlier today for allegedly putting the hurt on a paparazzo who was snapping pics of the couple as they went through security at LAX.
The shutterbug made a citizen's arrest, after which airport police took over. They took Brand into custody and hauled him off to the LAPD's Pacific Divison station, where he was booked on suspicion of battery and released on his own recognizance.
And apparently he will be getting lucky tonight.


Jessica Simpson:Who else doesn't want to hook up with her?

Jessica SimpsonLet's have a quick rundown:Jessica Simpson's ex, Tony Romo, broke up with her the day before her birthday last year. Then earlier this year, her ex John Mayer described her as "sexual napalm," which had to burn a little.
And then over the summer even her relationship with BFF Ken Paves seems to have cooled way down.
So who else is not wanting to get together with Jessica Simpson?
The one and only Andrea Bocelli!
E! News has learned exclusively that recent reports saying Simpson would be teaming up on a Christmas album with Andrea Bocelli and Willie Nelson appear to be only...half true.
Sources confirm that while Willie Nelson will appear on the album; Bocelli will not.
Bocelli's rep adds, "We were indeed approached by her management a while 
ago, but Mr. Bocelli's current recording and performing schedule does 
not allow him to add on new engagements. We told Jessica's management 
yesterday that the duet cannot happen. But we all wish her great success 
with the Christmas album."
Better luck next Christmas, Jessica! Until then, you got your hunky beau to keep you company. And Willie Nelson, which ain't half-bad as far as we're concerned.

Dressed for the red carpet in a stunning black one-sleeve, off-the-shoulder, Marchesa sheer gown with dazzling jewels, Preston – without husband John Travolta – proudly showed off her baby bump and says she's already started to count the days until her expected due date.

Paris Hilton Agrees to Plea Deal, Says D.A.

Paris Hilton Agrees to Plea Deal, Says D.A.As was speculated to take place,Paris Hilton has agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanors in her drug-possession case – and she will be sentenced to a year of probation but no jail time, reports the Las Vegas Review-Journal

The socialite, 29, is due before Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Joe Bonaventure on Monday, at which time she will formally plead guilty to misdemeanor drug possession and misdemeanor obstructing an officer, says the newspaper, which obtained a copy of Hilton's plea deal. 

"We fashioned a resolution which would give us complete control over her future. If she does not toe the line and stay out of trouble she will do one year in the Clark County Detention Center," said Nevada's Clark County District Attorney David Roger. 

Should Hilton be arrested during her probation, her plea deal stipulates that she serve a full year behind bars. 

"Defendant shall stay out of trouble. Defendant agrees that an arrest for any charge, excluding minor traffic violations for which a citation is issued, shall result in the immediate termination of her probation and the execution of the suspended sentences," reads the deal. 

Also demanded: That Hilton successfully complete a substance abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and perform 200 hours of community service, whose nature and location is to be later determined. 

Hilton, who 
served three weeks in 2007 for violating probation in a drunken driving case, had been charged with felony drug possession after an Aug. 28 arrest in Las Vegas.

Elisabetta Canalis Brings George Clooney Home to the Folks

Elisabetta Canalis Brings George Clooney Home to the FolksNothing like spending a little time with mom and dad: This week brought George Clooney and girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis on a private jet from Milan to the airport of Alghero on the island of Sardinia – where an SUV took them, along with Canalis's father Casare and one of Clooney's bodyguards, to the small town of Trenuraghes, perched on the hills overlooking the coast and home to Elisabetta's parents. 

Tresnuraghes (pop. 1,200) is Cesare Canalis's birthplace and where Elisabetta spent her first 18 years, before pursuing a modeling career in Milan. Cesare, a radiologist, and wife Bruna, a homemaker, live in the middle of town, in a three-bedroom, three-bathroom, two-story white house.

La rosa die venti. Owner Gianluca Del Rio the local paper afterward that the meal consisted of homemade gnocchi with meat sauce and ravioli with vegetables, followed by sea bass and the local Cannonau white wine.

As the neighbor also noted: "One of the older women there shouted, 
'Ora tocca a te!' ['It's your turn now!']. Clooney obviously didn't understand, but everyone turned to look at Elisabetta. She simply smiled."
