Lindsay Lohan Off the Hook For Rehab Fight

Bribes go a long way.
Just kidding ... well, mostly. Whatever the reason, Lindsay Lohan received a lovely Christmas present when Dawn Holland dropped her battery allegation.
The ex-Betty Ford employee who got into an altercation with the troubled star, who she accused of attacking her, is letting the case against Lohan go.
Lohan Off the Hook
HO, HO, HO: Lindsay's Christmas season is now more cheerful.
"Dawn will not continue to press charges against Lindsay, nor will she be assisting any further in the investigation or prosecution," her attorney said.
"A crime has quite simply not been committed by Ms. Lohan."
The authorities could still file charges against Lohan, but without the testimony of the one witness who lodged the complaint, it would lead nowhere.
As such, Lindsay looks to have beaten the rap once again.
Last week, the Palm Desert Police confirmed that Lohan was the suspect in a physical incident with Holland, a chemical technician at Betty Ford.
Holland claimed that Lohan attacked her when asked to submit to a breathalyzer test andthat she went to the hospital to be treated for injuries.
Hours after blabbing her story to celebrity gossip site TMZ, Holland was fired from the famous rehab facility for violating confidentiality rules.
A day after that, she pulled a 180 and said she would no longer pursue any case against the 24-year-old, like herself a recovering addict.
Holland did not want "in any way shape or form to do anything that would violate Lindsay's probation or cause an arrest," her lawyer said.
Lohan faced at least six months in jail if she had been found guilty of assault, as it would constitute a probation violation. But it's all good.
She is scheduled to leave rehab January 3. God help us.

What Did Kim Kardashian Get for Christmas?

Kim Kardashian received the Christmas present of her dreams this weekend. No, it wasn't a lifetime supply of QuickTrim.
"Best Christmas gift ever! Mason said KIM!," the professional star Tweeted. "Kourtney told me, I didn't believe her then he said it to me! I almost cried!"
Merry Kim
The Celebrity of the Year Finalists celebrated the holidays by attending the Lakers game against the Heat and also by attending a screening of Little Fockers.
It's hard to imagine which of those was more depressing for the family: Los Angeles' blow-out loss to Miami, or the sad state of Robert DeNiro's career.

Bristol Palin to Enroll at Arizona State?

Dancing With the Stars finalist / abstinence advocate / Facebook fiend Bristol Palin just bought a house and says that she may enroll in college nearby.
The location of said property: Maricopa, Arizona.
The $172,000 Arizona home Bristol Palin just paid for in cash has five bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 3,900 square feet. The price? $172,000. Quite a deal.
B-Palin's Bailin'
SUN DEVIL: Is Bristol heading to ASU? [Photo: Pacific Coast News]
So far, no word on which school the 20-year-old will be attending, but the home is just miles from Arizona State University's school of broadcasting.
Bristol has expressed an interest in broadcasting public speaking. Another fun fact: ASU declined to give Barack Obama an honorary degree in May.
He gave the commencement speech, but officials deemed that he, the President of the U.S., hadn't done enough in his career to warrant the honor.
Sounds like a good fit for Bristol. Sarah Palin? So proud.

Of being cast as the dance partner of Portman and co-star Mila Kunis, he said, "I really, really got into it... I was blown away, especially by Natalie."
Apparently! This will be the first marriage for both and their first child as well. It's unclear how along Natalie is, but in any case, congratulations

Justin Bieber Thinks Selena Gomez is "Amazing"

When recently asked if she and Justin Bieber were a romantic item, Selena Gomez quickly dismissed that rumor.
But when MTV brought up this same topic with Justin a couple days ago, he didn't confirm a relationship between he and Selena. But he didn't exactly shoot down the idea, either.
"She's really cool," Bieber told the network. "She's an amazing person."
Precious Twosome
Does he mind that so many are so curious about his love life? Said Bieber:
"I think that people are always gonna be interested in my personal life... but I gotta keep some things to myself. I'm just having fun being a teenager."
As he should. But as long as he and Gomez spend time alone together, as they did in Miami last week (pictured), such (adorable!) talk will continue to persist.

Celebrity of the Year Finalist #3: Miley Cyrus!

With 2010 drawing to a close, it is with much pride that THG unveils its 10 finalists for its prestigious, Fourth Annual Celebrity of the Year award.
These stars all gave us their best, their worst, their nude pics (sometimes) and their scandals (often). This month, THG honors that greatness.
After the Jersey Shore cast fist-pumped its way to #4, we present one of our most polarizing figures at #3 ... Miley Cyrus!
Rocking Europe
Perhaps more than any celebrity we cover, 2010 was a year of ups and downs for Miley, lows and highs (literally!).
It began with the official announcement that Cyrus would be saying farewell to the role of Hannah Montana, and it ended with a bong-smoking controversy that epitomized the lengths this star had gone to over the past 12 months to prove she was transforming into an adult artist.
In between, Miley...
... dated Liam Hemsworth multiple times.
... sang a duet with Bret Michaels.
... hosted the 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards.
... got slammed by critics for her portrayal in The Last Song.
... made out with a female dancer to prove her maturity.
... feuded with Perez Hilton over that blogger being an idiot.
... rarely wore pants.
... suffered through her parents' divorce.
... turned 18.
As you can tell, it was a year of starring roles and scandalous actions for Miley Cyrus. Ardent supporters stuck by her side, arguing that she was simply growing up as a person and a celebrity.
Critics, meanwhile, crushed the star for her misguided decisions, coming down on her for abandoning a young fan base and trying too hard to prove she was evolving. Where do you stand?
It's a question we've asked often and will likely continue to do so. This divisiveness is a significant reasons why Miley had such an impact on pop culture in 2010.

Alanis Morissette Welcomes Baby Son!

Talk about the best Christmas ever.
Alanis Morissette and husband Mario 'Souleye' Treadway welcomed a baby boy, Ever Imre Morissette-Treadway, says a rep for the new mom.

Alanis Morrisette, Mario Treadway
HAPPILY EVER AFTER: Alanis and husband and baby makes three!

Congratulations to the happy family!

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian: Engaged For Real!

It's official. LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian are engaged. We know, we reported it before, and she said it was 150 percent untrue. This time it's legit.
"Yes, they were engaged over the holidays and are very happy," her rep says, adding that "family and close friends in town helped them celebrate."
Astoundingly, Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes were spotted on a Malibu beach on Monday, where she was wearing her giant new engagement ring.
Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes Photo
ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING: This time, the engagement's real.
In November, engagement rumors swirled after the couple posted a photo on Twitter which showed Cibrian on bended knee and holding Rimes' hand.
That turned out to be a Halloween prank, but numerous reports said Eddie Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes were engaged days later. The couple denied it.
E! News stood by its story, however, leading us to believe they simply didn't want it to get out yet (and/or hadn't secured a good story/photo deal).
In any case, the once-secret romance that began on the set of a Lifetime film while both were married to other people has come so far so fast.
Rimes will soon become stepmother to Cibrian's kids, Mason, 7, and Jake, 3. Hopefully Brandi Glanville isn't wearing a belt or shoelaces right now.
LeAnn's ex, Dean Sherement, recently got re-engaged himself to Sarah Silver. Looks like everyone's moving on, and we wish for their happiness.
Congratulations to the happy couple!

“ME and @justinbieber got a BANGER/SMASH record for all the fans out there at the top of the NEW YEAR!!! 2011.”

It's easy to see why this is a smart move for Brown, whose career has not gotten on track since his publicized punching of Rihanna.

New Miley Cyrus Pics: Scandalous or Harmless?

A couple weeks after a video of the singer smoking out of a bong surfaced, new Twit pics have circulated online. It's unclear when these were taken, but click on each for a larger version:
Semi-Flash
Are these images especially lewd? No. We can even hear the Miley defenders already: all teenagers take photos such as this! What's the big deal?!? Leave her alone!
But at some point Miley has to realize she's a public figure and has to act in a more responsible manner. Is it really too much to ask for her to refrain from snapping such pictures? We get it. She's 18. She's branching out. She's maturing.
Let's just hope this urge to continually make such points doesn't result in any truly regrettable actions on Miley's part.

Camille and Kesley Grammer Divorce Update: Speedy, Expensive

Kesley Grammer really wants to be married. Just not to Camille Grammer.
The actor has asked a judge to hurry up and complete his divorce from the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills because he wants to gets hitched once again, this time to 29-year old Kaye Walsh.
The Grammers
The former sitcom star has asked a Los Angeles court for "bifurcation," which means a divorce can be finalized within six months of filing, with all financial issues left to be settled at a later date.
If the judge agrees, Kesley can marry Walsh as soon as 1/1/11.
Says a friend of Camille's, in response to the actor's latest maneuver: Camille "is not surprised, but continues to be disappointed at Kelsey's immature and disrespectful behavior."
Whenever money is on the table, though, Mrs. Grammer will do quite well for herself. She and Kesley did NOT sign a prenuptial agreement and, under California law, all earnings are split 50/50.
This means Camille will likely walk away with at least $50 million, a lot of which is tied up in properties across the country, from Hawaii to The Hamptons.

Lydia Hearst to Portray Lindsay Lohan-Like Character in New Movie

Lydia Hearst has landed her dream role, assuming this aspiring actress has fantasized about drugs, denial, promiscuity and multiple court dates.
In the upcoming movie Dogs in Pocketbooks, the publishing company heiress will portray "a bratty movie goddess in and out of rehab, in trouble with the law, and hounded by greedy agents, predatory paparazzi, off-the-wall stalkers and crazed media," according to screenwriter Charles Casillo.
Sound familiar? Casillo freely admits this role is "based on Lindsay Lohan."
Lydia Hearst ImagePerplexed Lindsay
What qualifies Hearst to take on Lindsay? Well... she's posed naked for GQ, spent time as a fake lesbian, and dated a total loser. It's like she's been training her whole life for this part!
As you might expect, the Lohans aren't taking this news silently. Family lawyer Stephanie Ovadia says producers are "using [Lindsay's] likeness without her being compensated. Not only that but they are advertising the fact that they are using her likeness."
Warns Dina Lohan: "Anyone bringing negativity will be dealt with accordingly."
Does that mean Dina will be punishing herself somehow?

Kelly Osbourne on Luke Worrall: What a C-nt!

Kelly Osbourne has made it clear these days: she's got Miley Cyrus' back.
Now, she's made it even more evident: she's been stabbed in that same body part by ex-boyfriend Luke Worrall.
Amidst rumors of his cheating, Osbourne split with her fiance in July. Based on a series of vitriolic Tweets, it sounds like Worrall tried to reconcile with Kelly over the weekend - and it REALLY didn't go well.
Kellly Osbourne and Luke Worrall
"What do you do when someone lies in the darkest way and you try to tell the person that was lied to but they don't believe you?" Kelly Tweeted, adding:
"Luke Worrall is the biggest piece of s**, he has been trying to get back with me, I only came home for Xmas to see him. Meanwhile, he has been f***ing hundreds of girls...behind my back.
"All he did was use me. All girls, beware of @Luke_worral he is a using C***! He used me for my money and a free ride. He is lucky I am not spilling the whole truth about what he did!
"He is the worst thing that ever happened to me. I don't give a f*** what happens to him anymore...I am and always will be too good for him...Darling, your pretty face will only get you so far because you don't have the brains to back it up."
Luke Worrall, consider yourself served. Hard.

New Britney Spears Song Lyrics: Read Now!

Britney Spears will release a new album in March.
Her seventh studio CD, it remains untitled, but we can confirm that producers Max Martin and Dr. Luke will play key roles on various upcoming singles.
Giggling Away
Based on the words below, it's safe to say Britney Spears won't be leaving her comfort, sex-based zone on her upcoming album.
One of these songs will reportedly be titled “Hold It Against Me“ and it will contain the following lyrics:
Hey over there
Please forgive me
I’m gonna have some fun tonight
And ain’t that how it should be?
Dancing to my favorite song
All by myself (Loving myself)
And ain’t that how it should be?
Baby, you can hold it against me
But tonight, I’m out on my own
You think I dress to impress them
But tonight, I’m doin’ it for myself
Hold it against me (Just do it)
Hold it against me (Boy, just do it)
Hold it against me
But when I go home tonight,
I’ll be by myself (Loving myself)
You think you’re a rockstar
Coming on over to my party
That this tight ass dress is for you
Thinking that’s how it should be
Dancing to my favorite song
All by myself (Loving myself)

Baby, you can hold it against me
But tonight, I’m out on my own
You think I dress to impress them
But tonight, I’m doin’ it for myself
Hold it against me (Just do it)
Hold it against me (Boy, just do it)
Hold it against me
Just do it, just do it
Just do it, just do it
If you hold it against me
I won’t mind, cause babe
It’s just not our time
And if you wanna dance
You might as well ask (My girlfriend)
As I’ll be on the dancefloor
All by myself
All by myself
Baby, you can hold it against me
But tonight, I’m out on my own
You think I dress to impress them
But tonight, I’m doin’ it for myself
Hold it against me (Just do it)
Hold it against me (Boy, just do it)
Hold it against me
But tonight, I’m out on my own
You think I dress to impress them
But tonight, I’m doin’ it for myself
Hold it against me (Just do it)
Hold it against me (Boy, just do it)
Hold it against me

Levi Johnston to Meet with Bristol Over Planned Move

Bristol Palin isn't cleared to move to Arizona. Not yet, at least.
As previously reported, the single mother has purchased a home in the southwest and various signs point to her attending Arizona State. But Alaska law prevents Bristol from relocating with Tripp unless she files a motion or the child's father grants permission.
Babies Happen
But Levi Johnston will reportedly make it easy on his former lover, as the Z-lister's rep tells TMZ: "Levi is not at all upset that Bristol is going to Arizona... After the holidays, Levi and Bristol will get together and discuss plans for Tripp."
Expect the pair to work out details of Levi's visitation rights during this meeting, with one question being who will pay for Johnston's visits to Arizona. We're pretty sure the Palins can afford to buy the guy his own private jet.
Overall, the relationship between Levi and Bristol appears to be thawing. Perhaps Sunny Oglesby has been a calming influence on the former.
