Have you heard? According to TMZ, sources tell them that doctors at UCLA are saying that Lindsay Lohan is not bipolar and she’s not an addict. Oh, and she doesn’t have ADHD. We’re told Lindsay has been “weaned off” all of her meds — Dilaudid, Ambien, Adderall, Zoloft, Trazodone and Nexium — and has had no adverse reaction. Likewise, she has had no withdrawal issues in the alcohol department. Bottom line — the docs don’t think Lindsay is an addict. And, we’re told Lindsay was misdiagnosed in the past with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity... 

Why yes, I did have a good birthday today. Thanks for asking! The day started like any other day – except for the chocolate cupcake for breakfast, of course. By 10:15am my step-dad and I, along with a couple of his friends, were in San Francisco at the De Young Museum for their current special exhibit, Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces From The Musee d’Orsay. I really enjoyed it. One of my favorite things about art is that each piece elicits a different response from different people, and I really get a kick out of eavesdropping on people around me and listening to what... 

Remember on the last season of Celebrity Apprentice how Rod Blagojevich took every chance he could to tell someone – anyone! – how innocent he was and that he never lied and that they shouldn’t believe the hype? Yeah, it drove me bonkers, too. I mean, when someone is that defensive, there comes a point when you ask just who they’re trying to convince. Hopefully today’s Blagojevich verdict will put an end to the ex-governor’s rantings of innocence. Just sayin’. Rod Blagojevich was found guilty on just one of 24 counts – making false statements to a federal agent.... 

Because apparently he felt the need for more problems, Mel Gibson crashed his car into a Southern California hillside on Sunday evening. At around 8:35 p.m., the troubled Gibson lost control of his 2008 Maserati on Malibu Canyon Road. He was not injured. Law enforcement officials say, “For unknown reasons, Mr. Gibson steered his car to the right and struck the rock hillside. He stopped his car at the scene and was contacted by officers from the West Valley CHP Area.” CHP Public Information Officer Leland Tang added, “Gibson told officers in the field he did not know how... 

It was confirmed today by his spokesperson that Michael Douglas, 65, will be undergoing eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy to treat the tumor* doctors discovered in the actor’s throat. Douglas is expected to make a full recovery, and said in a statement that he is “very optimistic.” The sympathetic human in me says “Aww, that’s too bad. I hope he’s ok,” but the gossip blogger in me says “Publicity stunt!” He does have a movie coming out next month, ya know. Michael Douglas will next be seen on the big screen starting September 24th, in Wall Street: Money... 

Tsk, Tsk, Dr. Laura. Although she has since apologized, the fact remains that Dr. Laura Schlessinger used the N-word several times on her radio show this past Tuesday. Eleven times in five minutes, as a matter of fact. It all started when a black woman called in to Dr. Laura’s show to discuss her white husband and his white friends using racial epithets in front of her. In an “attempt to make a philosophical point,” Dr. Laura insulted the female caller by saying she was “hypersensitive” to racism, and then proceeded to use the vile racial slur again and again. I’m...
