Lindsay Lohan Swears: I Was Clean!

Contrary to the allegations of former Betty Ford staffer Dawn Holland, Lindsay Lohan says she was stone cold sober the night of their fight in rehab.
According to Lohan's camp, she met a friend at the Viceroy Hotel in Palm Springs, Calif., on December 11 to get her hair done. That's her excuse.
While there, sources say Lindsay knocked back Shirley Temples - the famous non-alcoholic mixed drink - along with an order of fries. That's it.

Sources claim Lindsay eventually headed back to her sober house, completely sober, at around 1 a.m., and that's when Holland confronted her.
Holland claims she smelled alcohol on Lindsay, who was reportedly out past curfew, and that the train wreck refused to take a breathalyzer.
Lohan claims she asked for the test in an attempt to prove her sobriety but was denied it by Holland, who she says has "had it out" for her.
The details vary depending on who you believe, but it got physical.
Holland alleges Lohan hurt her bad enough for her to go on workers' comp. Lindsay says Holland came at her first, but admits she pushed back.
Lohan was quick to play the victim card in the wake of the incident, which resulted in a call to the police and a battery complaint by the staffer.
The chemical dependency technician was fired by Betty Ford for talking to TMZ about this, and by doing so, may have even broken the law.
Lohan faces a possible police inquiry if officials believe she may have violated her probation in any way during her latest ridiculous incident.

Judge Decrees: Fantasia Did Not Wreck Any Homes!

Fantasia Barrino is not a homewrecker.
This is not just a random, uneducated opinion. This is an actual ruling for a North Carolina judge.
As part of Antwaun Cook's divorce proceedings in North Carolina this week - the same trial that recently forced Fantasia to admit she aborted her lover's baby - a judge found that Antwaun and Paula Cook separated on September 14, 2009.
Fantasia on Stage
Paula had claimed the date was June 2010, which prompted accusations of Fantasia stealing her man and possibly even a lawsuit under North Carolina’s unusual Alienation of Affection law.
While there's no official word on future legal proceedings yet, it's hard to imagine Paula having any case against Fantasia in light of this ruling.
Barrino may now return to her tour, which wraps up New Year's Day in St. Louis.

Report: Brett Favre Asked Jenn Sterger For Masturbation Video

Former New York Jets employee Jenn Sterger, who was allegedly sent photos of Brett Favre's penis (maybe you heard), also got a text from the NFL star.
A text in which he asks her for a video of her masturbating.
That's according to sources connected to NFL's investigation into the star's conduct in 2008. The video request reportedly came months after the pics.
The Legendary Brett Favre
THUMBS UP: I'm a fan. Now how 'bout pleasuring yourself on tape?
It's not clear if Jenn Sterger turned over the masturbation video request to the NFL, which has yet to decide if Favre violated its personal conduct policy.
Even if he violated a cardinal rule by texting his small junk, according to Charles Barkley, it's becoming clear that Brett Favre is a wild, sexual freak.
He admitted hollering at Sterger, as heard on the voicemail leaked online, and while he denies sending any photos of his wang, you have to wonder.
Who the heck knows what specifics are true, but between this and Rex Ryan's foot fetish video, the Jets PR department has a lot on its plate lately.

Danielle Staub to Ex-Castmates: Be Nice!

As someone who might get murdered any day now, Danielle Staub is trying to make the most of each second.
That's why she wants 2011 to be worry-free, telling Radar Online that her resolution is to "get in touch with my fun side."
"That is what I want. I want the fun girl to come out," Staub said. "Fun is sexy and cute and dorky. I'm all those things... I am me. There is always going to be haters and they win when they bring me down."
Sucky Staub
Foremost among those haters, of course, are The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Danielle's former co-stars. Does she have any advice for Teresa Giudice and company?
"Stop being mean girls and resolve to be nice to everyone. Period. There is a much better existence."
Of course, that better existence involves being married to a rich person. Staub says she's on the lookout for a mate ("I'm leaning more towards a male.") and his bank account will play a key role.
"I was married to a man with $100 million dollars. Why would I go down from that?"
Seriously, people, in their a worse human being alive than Danielle Staub?

Fays later, Donovan faced rumors that he had fathered a love child with an unidentified British woman, but that turned out to be false.
He said Kajlich was aware of the rumor and it would not hurt his attempt to reconcile with her. Then they attended the ESPYs in July.
It was not to be, however. Citing irreconcilable differences, Donovan is seeking spousal support, as well as legal fees from his wife.

Quite an Ass
Holly Madison is making an ass of herself in this photo. In the best way possible, of course.

Happy Birthday, Holly Madison!

It's a special Holly Day for a certain, often-naked reality star.
Holly Madison turns 31 today, likely celebrating the occasion by giving thanks that she's no longer having intercourse with a man old enough to be her grandfather.
Holly Day
A failed Dancing with the Stars contestant, Madison has turned her penchant for nudity into a series with E!. This would be slightly more impressive if that network didn't hand out reality shows like they were Chinese food menus.
Still, Holly has worked her way up from humble beginnings in Oregon to being named the top Hooters girl of all-time by that restaurant chain in 2008. Talk about an accomplishment! Send in your birthday wishes now and ogle away at the following photo montage:

Kendall and Kylie Jenner Talk Spin-Off, Facebook and More

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are featured in the February issue of Teen Vogue.
The former kept most of her clothes on for the shoot, while the latter made us frightened to imagine a spin-off featuring these two at some point: "It's something to think about," Kylie said.
Somewhere, the dollar signs in Kris Jenner's eyes just lit up.
Kendall PicKylie Pic
Kendall also dished on the designer hand-me-down process she and her sibling enjoy.
"Whenever our sisters are done with clothes, they give me and Kylie stuff," she says. "Khloé has my shoe size, so I've gotten some amazing Louboutins from her. And Kim gave me a black snakeskin Balenciaga for my birthday."
What other nuggets did we learn from Kendall and Kylie in this interview? Such gems as advice doled out to them by Kim, Kourtney and company: "Don't Google yourself" and "Your friends and family know you better than the Internet does!"
(Let's also hope: "Avoid Ray J and video cameras at all times!")
In closing, Kendall says she's hooked on Facebook: "I go on and stalk people. I tried to quit it for six months, but then I just started signing on from friends' accounts."

Study: 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom Increase Awareness, Reduce Teen Pregnancy Rates

MTV makes a killing promoting debauchery among dumbass kids.
Watch these Jersey Shore clips and you won't argue that. But according to a new study, two programs on the network may actually benefit society.
America's teen birth rate plummeted in 2009 after rising from 2005 to 2007, and experts say 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom open youths' eyes.
Maci Bookout and Bentley
Teen Mom's Maci Bookout and son Bentley.
THG recently debated whether Teen Mom glorifies teen pregnancy.
According to The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, it may do the reverse, as 82 percent of teens say the shows help them understand the challenges of pregnancy and parenthood - and why they should avoid it.
"Entertainment media is one of the nation's favorite punching bags, but it can be and often is a force for good," says group spokesman Bill Albert.
"Some critics say these shows glamorize teen pregnancy, but our survey data shows that's not the case — that not only do they not glamorize it, but teens who have seen it suggest it makes the realities of teen parenthood more real to them."
It's true ... Amber Portwood is basically a living, breathing deterrent.
Chronicling the travails of teen moms and dads through rocky relationships and the emotional swings of having a baby, 16 and Pregnant debuted in 2009.
Its spinoff, Teen Mom, has followed the cast in subsequent months and years. MTV just released a trailer for Teen Mom 2, featuring a new crop of moms.
While it remains to be seen if the success (and paydays) of the original cast members send the opposite message going forward, this is encouraging.
A positive message getting across. From MTV. A Christmas miracle?

Kelly Osbourne Makes Like Miley Cyrus

Kelly Osbourne isn't just defending Miley Cyrus from all haters. She's dressing up like this controversial actress!
While Cyrus continues to face the repercussions of her salvia-smoking, her So Undercover co-star continues to show Miley nothing but support. Via Twitter last night, Osbourne posted the following photo:
Twice the Miley
Kelly captioned this pic with "I'm just being Miley!"
Osbourne, of course, knows all about troubled life in the spotlight. She has entered rehab on three separate occasions for an addiction to painkillers. She was also arrested for assault in August 2008.
Since then, the former reality star has turned her life around, losing a chunk of weight, becoming active in the GLBT community and making it to the finals of Dancing with the Stars. Now, as evidenced by her pose above, Kelly wants just one thing when it comes to Miley and her critics:
Peace.

Stephen Baldwin Sues Kevin Costner For Slick Move

Stephen Baldwin has filed a lawsuit against Kevin Costner for scheming to make money off the BP oil rig disaster. Bet you totally saw that coming!
Alec and Billy's slightly-wacko brother says Kevin duped him into selling his shares in a company that builds machines that separate oil from water.
Baldwin claims in April, he decided to become a 10 percent partner in an invention backed by Costner (one developed during his film Waterworld).
Steve Baldwin PicCostner
B-PEEVED: Baldwin says he got hosed by Costner.
Costner and his partners made it seem as if Costner had already sold his shares in the company, when in fact the actor was still heavily invested.
Baldwin also claims the company misrepresented that there was no deal in the works to sell the contraption to BP ... which evidently there was.
Stephen alleges he was duped into selling his shares back to the company so Costner and his partners could score a bigger profit in that deal.
BP allegedly bought the company for more than $52 million. Baldwin is suing for unspecified damages and says Kevin is totally going to hell.
Just kidding. About the second part.

Paris Hilton Sex Tape II? Doug Reinhardt Denies, Threatens Lawsuit Over Rumor

As the sex tape rumor mill turns ... there's a story floating around online that Doug Reinhardt co-starred in a NEW Paris Hilton sex tape.
But Doug, who broke up with the HO-tel heiress earlier this year, says the story, first reported by ZachTaylor (dot) com, is totally bogus.
His rep Amanda Ruisi, who's surely really busy lately, says "Doug says a sex tape with Paris and him doesn't exist and never existed."
Doug Reinhardt-Paris Hilton Sex Tape?
THE DOUG DAYS ARE OVER: But they were, like, so hot ...
Reinhardt fired off a cease and desist letter to the website that claims he's shopping a sex tape telling them to take the story down or he'll sue.
In the letter, Doug's lawyer says the story that he boned, filmed and shopped is "false in every respect and ... defamatory to Mr. Reinhardt."
Good to see Doug has some dignity. Then again, Rick Salomon made $10 million from the original Paris Hilton sex tape, which is really the only reason she got famous, so maybe he should stoke the rumor a little. Just a thought.

Terms of the financial arrangement were not disclosed, but the rehabbing singer will pay the back-up dancer - who she slugged in the face prior to entering a treatment facility in Illinois - a certain amount in order to avoid a lawsuit.
Said Donald Karpel, Welch's lawyer, TMZ: "The parties are satisfied and the dispute has been resolved amicably and completely."

The incident with Welch was reportedly rock bottom for Demi. She sought treatment, remains in seclusion and will hopefully return to public life a stronger, happier individual.
