Lindsay Lohan's latest picture

A Lohan picture worth a thousand words

Lindsay Lohan's loving mother Dina followed Lindsay into court this morning on the talented but troubled actress' way to jail. Think mama has issues?

Lindsay Lohan goes back to jail

Her father's prayers were not enough.

(Michael Lohan has issued a statement through his attorney: "Michael spent the morning praying for his daughter. He's devastated she's going to jail. He loves her very much and he'll pray for her."

Lindsay Lohan taking same drug that killed Danny Gans

Lindsay Lohan is taking the same drug that killed Danny Gans. The probation report handed to the court in Beverly Hills in advance of the talented and troubled actress’ sentencing on Tuesday reveals that the 24-year-old has prescriptions for and has been gobbling a combination of drugs including the amphetamine Aderall, anti-depressants Zoloft and Trazodone and Nexium, which is used to treat acid reflux.

The most disturbing and dangerous addition to the legal cocktail, however, is the powerful opiate Dilaudid-- also known as hydromorphone or “drugstore heroin."


Dilaudid is the drug that contributed to the untimely death of Las Vegas superstar Danny Gans in June 2009.

Lindsay's father Michael has been saying for weeks that his daughter is addicted to prescription drugs, trying in vain to get someone to listen.

ALERT: Why does TMZ care about Lindsay Lohan all of a sudden?

All of a sudden the corporate porn-pushing gossip site TMZ.com cares about Lindsay Lohan? After years of harassing, intruding, taunting, bothering and humiliating the talented, troubled, hard-partying, hardly working actress, they run an "exclusive" story that her drug use is out of control and she may be near death?

What's their game? Lindsay's father Michael Lohan has been shouting that fact from the rooftops for three years now. We've raised the alarm on a regular basis (as seen below).

Is it a coincidence that the shaved bronzed midget frontman and his toddler army run this "exclusive" story the very same week we threw up our hands and suspended our long-running Lindsay Lohan Watch, that Michael Lohan threatened physical harm paparazzi who endanger his daughter, and a former employee sued the sleaze operation, alleging drug and booze use and harassment?

What do they know? Is TMZ about to be implicated in something? We know they don't care about Lindsay Lohan's health, so why now?

Developing...

Lindsay Lohan, watch!

Her tumble into a cactus after a night of revelry is another reason we've discontinued our Lindsay Lohan Watch, and stopped chronicling the activities of the talented, troubled, hard-partying, hardly-working sometime actress Lindsay Lohan. Why bother?

Redmond O'Neal back on the streets-- again

It turns out that the late Farrah Fawcett got more than fans' best wishes and a cancer foundation in her name for her birthday on Tuesday. In a little-noticed courtroom action, Redmond O'Neal, her troubled junkie son with lover Ryan O'Neal, was released from jail. The 25-year-old has been in stir since December 29th, after he was found to be intoxicated while on a 24-hour Christmas pass. At Tuesday;'s sentencing hearing, Judge Michael Tynan approved Red's release, reinstated his probation and enrolled him back into rehab. If he finishes this stint, Red will be be placed in a sober living home, and according to the judge will again be allowed to receive day passes "from time to time." This time, he'll be under strict supervision with limits on where he can go and the company he keeps. His father's name didn't come up.

This is, by one count, Redmond's fifth chance.

Two days have passed, so he could already be back behind bars, but in any case, who bets there won't be a Round Six?

Lindsay Lohan watch: Sex tape & sex toy

There are reports that a sex tape featuring hard-living, hardly-working, troubled and talented actress Lindsay Lohan is being circulated among certain circles and is about to be released on the Internet through an "offshore porn site." The video is supposedly 47 seconds long and shows Lindsay frollicking naked and performing a sex act with an unidentified male. Aware of the embarrassing news that could pose another roadblock in any attempt to regain her potential as a respected star, Lindsay responded by appearing last night at a West Holywood nightclub called Voyeur at a party for something called Vida, which is described as a "luxury sex toy." She was dressed for the occasion.

Who will save Lindsay Lohan?

Teddy Pendergrass and the transsexual

Back in the Seventies, the days of punk rock and "disco sucks," Teddy Pendergrass of Philadelphia was in a class of his own. His raw, passionate work with Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes led to a solo career, international stardom and, with an image as the ultimate Ladies' Man, sold-out "women only" concerts. Then, on March 18, 1982 he crashed his Rolls Royce while driving home from a 76ers game. He injured his spinal cord. His passenger, who escaped with cuts and bruises, was a transsexual. Tenika Watson was a top drag performer on the East Coast who allegedly had a rap sheet that included thirty-seven arrests for prostitution.


Teddy claimed he didn’t know that Tenika was really a man. There were rumors that the wife of a former sports superstar was also a passenger in the car but left the scene of the accident to avoid scandal. Whether that was true, whether the story was planted to soften the blow to Teddy's image was never known. No one investigated whether Teddy was a pioneer not only in R&B but in that Eddie Murphy-Magic Johnson freakiness that would become so popular a decade later. It wasn't a topic of conversation in those days.


Besides, Teddy Pendergrass was paralyzed from the chest down, a quadriplegic. He'd be confined to a wheelchair for 28 years, until his death yesterday at 59. What a great singer.

UPDATE: Obituaries of Terry Pendergrass in the New York Times, written by Jon Pareles, and the Los Angeles Times, by Randy Lewis, omitted any mention of Ms. Watson's involvement in the crash or what the scandalous nature of the revelations did to Teddy's reputation as a ladies' man.

Lindsay Lohan watch: Another dead friend

Hard-living, hardly-working troubled and talented actress Lindsay Lohan has spent more time as a prize on a billionaire's yacht in St. Barts than she did on her recent journey to India. Shown here with her sad little sister who was brought along as an extra treat, Lindsay looks worn out from all the partying and twittering the sad news that yet another friend and colleague (and fellow tabloid lesbian) from the paparazzi party circuit has succumbed, apparently to the lifestyle, too young. Who will save Lindsay?

Lindsay Lohan watch: 2010

Hard-living, hardly-working troubled and talented actress Lindsay Lohan is beginning the New Year twittering away with high hopes and great intentions, though partying the year away, and parading like the hired belly dancers at a billionaire's celebrity collection celebration on the Caribbean island of St. Bart.

Lindsay Lohan watch: Last days of the year

Hard-living, hardly-working troubled and talented actress Lindsay Lohan has dodged the Grim Reaper and in deed spent the final days of Celebrity Death Year 2009 shopping.


We sincerely hope she moves from the paparazzi pages and back to the big screen in 2010.

Tabloid Baby's Top Trend of 2009

Dying.

This was the year we started turning to the obit pages first. This was the year we realized we've created so many celebrities over the past fifty years that we're bound to be losing several a day. This was the year they were dying in fours and fives rather than threes. This is the year we were running so many posts about pop culture and tabloid figures who'd popped their clogs that we began running a Death of The Day column, with no end in sight. This was the year too many people died.

Michael Lohan weighs in on Brittany Murphy

"My heart and condolences go out to Brittany Murphy,
her family and even my daughter, who all have suffered
and have to deal with the effects of this horrible tragedy
of a gifted and blessed human being."

Michael Lohan, Tabloid Baby's 2007 Person of The Year, was already dealing with a Twitter imposter who claims he's suicidal, new legal troubles with his ex-galpal Erin (and the second high-profile shoe-attack incident in his tabloid career), and worrying about the health of talented and troubled daughter Lindsay, when word of tragic actress Brittany Murphy's premature death at 32 hit a little too close to home.


In the early hours of the morning, he sent us this email:

Update if you care to post...

To rebut all the phony individuals pretending to be me on Titter, my attorney (Stephanie Ovadia), has contacted Twitter's legal Dept., to track down and prosecute the imposter(s). She has also advised me to open a REAL Twitter account, to prove the others are not me.

In the meantime, my attorney (Tony Grandinette) has sent subpoenas out to John Ankleman, Stratis Morfogen, Adam Liberman, John Murray ( Erin's brother in law), Dr. Pitch, Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Psych Ward, Marriott, Verizon Wireless and Michael Kors, in order to prove ALL the charges against me are FALSE!

Lastly, my heart and condolences go out to Brittany Murphy, her family and even my daughter, who all have suffered and have to deal with the effects of this horrible tragedy of a gifted and blessed human being.

Regards,

Michael Lohan

Brittany Murphy latest 2009 dead celebrity

While we monitor the tragic habits of talented and troubled actress Lindsay Lohan comes word that talented and troubled actress Brittany Murphy is dead at 32. Recently fired from her latest film, lampooned on Saturday Night Live, and widely rumoured to have had a drug problem, the movie star known for trying a little too hard to be sexy reportedly went into full cardiac arrest at her home this morning and was dead before she reached the hospital.

Lindsay Lohan watch: No holiday from partying

For working Hollywood, it is a weekend of major film openings, big box office and outstanding performances. For talented and troubled (and obviously tired) actress Lindsay Lohan, it is another weekend of hard partying.

Lindsay Lohan watch: The week after India

Days after her return to Hollywood from a brief documentary-filming field trip to sacred India, and the week that the Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe nominations were announced and her father's most recent mugshot was released, talented and troubled actress Lindsay Lohan is back on the party scene on Sunset Boulevard, in torn stockings.

Lindsay Lohan watch: The morning after

Paparazzi were waiting and Lindsay Lohan as the talented and troubled actress left the Hollywood Hills home of Jason Segel on Saturday morning after apparently spending the night.


Insiders do not know what to make of her rendezvous with the schlubby actor, but see it as another indication of the erratic downward trajectory that few seem determined to correct.
