Lindsay Lohan Celebrates 100th Day Sober

Congratulations to Lindsay Lohan! The actress, who is currently undergoing treatment at the Betty Ford rehabilitation facility in Malibu, has been doing well enough in recovery to be allowed to drive again and take day trips.

Her father Michael, who has recently returned to the 24-year-old star’s life following a long period of estrangement, has praised her for her success.

He told RadarOnline.com: “I hope she has a decade more.”

Lindsay must continue undergoing rehabilitation until January 3 as part of her court order from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden Fox.

Earlier this month it was revealed Lindsay would have to stay in California for Christmas instead of heading to New York to be with her mother Dina and the rest of her family.

A source explained at the time: “Dina wants Lindsay to go home to Long Island for Christmas, but that won't be happening. Judge Elden Fox was very clear with his order that he wanted her to stay in rehab until after New Year's.Lindsay+Lohan in Lindsay Lohan Grabs Coffee with a Friend

"Lindsay won't be allowed to leave the state of California for Christmas -- period. It was never a consideration for Thanksgiving and it won't be for Christmas. Dina wants her home, but her dad Michael is supporting whatever Lindsay's treatment team is recommending."

Angelina Jolie On Her Family: 'We Are Just Nutty'

Angelina Jolie claims she, Brad Pitt, and their 6 kids are all just "nutty!" Apparently they love to goof off and are one big, happy family. Too cute.

But she has devised escape routes to escape attention.  The 35-year-old screen beauty told The Independent newspaper: "My real life is 90 per cent contained in my house with my kids, who just think I'm weird. When we are at our best, we are just nutty.

And the kids want to go out shopping to the market, but you've got 20 people behind you so you just can't. But sometimes we try to sneak out – and sometimes for us the easiest thing to do is sneak out of the front door, because everybody is checking the back door! But you try not to live your life that way – it would drive you nuts."

Angelina, who stars opposite Johnny Depp in The Tourist, also claims the public make wrong assumptions about her personality, often believing her to be a dark character, but she insists she has a soft side which she believes she inherited from her late mother Marcheline Bertrand.

She said: "Sometimes people think of me as being darker, but Johnny has seen me on set giggling; I think maybe a bit of my mom has rubbed off on me, and hopefully I'm a little softer and more female than I'm assumed to be."

Julie Andrews To Guest Star On Glee?

Julie Andrews, the English actress and star of the hugely successful movie 'The Sound of Music', could make an appearance on the hit US series GLEE after the show's star CHRIS COLFER revealed his desire to see her make a guest cameo, reports E! Online.

The 20-year-old admitted that he would like to see Andrews play his on-screen grandmother, and added that he is now campaigning for the idea.

The ACADEMY AWARD winning actress has recently turned her attention to voicing characters for a number of animated blockbusters such as 'Despicable Me' and the forthcoming 'Enchanted 2', but Colfer believes she could be coaxed into joining the cast of the musical comedy-drama, saying, "I'm pretty sure I've been obnoxious enough now that she knows that I want her. I think they just have to write it for her".

The actor also responded to recent reports suggesting Hollywood actress ANNE HATHAWAY wants to make a cameo on the show, Colfer said, "Anne Hathaway wants to play my lesbian aunt", before adding, "I'm all for that. Could you imagine a family with myself, Mike O'Malley, Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway? That's one hell of a family". GLEE season two will return to screens on 6th February 2011 after a two month hiatus.

Nicole Richie Explains Why Paris Hilton Wasn't Invited To Her Wedding

Nicole Richie tied the knot with her long-term beau Joel Madden on Saturday in front 130 of her closest friends and family, but her former best friend Paris Hilton was notably absent.

Explaining why Paris wasn’t invited, Nicole said: “We only wanted to celebrate with the people who we love and who care about us.”

Nicole and Joel -- who have two children, Harlow, two, and 15-month-old Sparrow, together -- married at the Beverly Hills estate of her father Lionel Richie, and the 29-year-old beauty admits her dad was delighted by the couple’s union.

She told Germany’s In magazine: “My dad calls Joel my Prince Charming. And that’s what he is!”

Nicole, who wore three different Marchesa gowns on her big day, was also delighted to have children involved in the ceremony, which was held under a tent transformed to resemble a French garden.

She added: “Joel let me organize my dream wedding.

“Harlow didn’t sprinkle the flowers, she just kept putting handfuls of them on the floor. Sparrow was the ring-bearer.”

Sources have previously insisted Paris -- who has been friends with Nicole since they were just two years old -- was not upset about not being invited to the nuptials.

One insider said: "She and Nicole aren't close anymore, but there are no hard feelings there. They just grew up and apart."

Christina Aguilera And New Man Get Cozy In London

Christina Aguilera and her new man Matthew Rutler are heating up! The 29-year-old singer, who's currently in the middle of divorcing Jordan Bratman, were apparently getting hot and heavy while out at London's Floridita club last night, after they attended the premiere of the flick together.

A source said: “She seemed really relaxed, she was enjoying Matt’s company and wouldn’t let go of him while she was outside of the VIP section of the club. As soon as she got into the VIP area she was drinking and dancing, even roping in co-stars Kristen Bell and Chelsea Traille for a saucy routine to her song ‘Ain’t No Other Man’.”

Though the blonde beauty was happy to pose for pictures with fans at the premiere’s afterparty, she was reluctant to chat too much and brushed off questions about her personal life. The insider added to BANG Showbiz: “She was in great spirits, although when fans tried to talk to her about her personal life she didn’t seem so keen to talk, with one she stayed totally silent, although she still agreed to have a picture.”

Matt seemed to be keen to protect his girlfriend, keeping an arm around her at all times while they were talking. Christina+Aguilera in Christina Aguilera visits a Stephen Webster shop with her boyfriend Matt Rutler after the premiere of the new film

Cher, who stars in the film with Christina, was unable to make it to the party because of filming commitments for a British TV show.

Charlie Sheen And Brooke Mueller Cooperating In Divorce Proceedings

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller had originally filed separate divorce petitions last month, but they've now combined them to one motion to make their case simpler.

A source told RadarOnline.com: “Charlie and Brooke are now on the same page with the divorce.

“They both asked their attorneys to combine the separate divorce filings into one matter as it makes the process much easier and streamlines it. The divorce will be final in about six months from the time of the filing.”

Charlie was accused of “blindsiding” Brooke with his petition for divorce, which he filed shortly after he was hospitalized following an incident in which he trashed a New York hotel room. Sources said they'd had an agreement to apply to end their two-year marriage at the same time.

Brooke, who separated from Charlie after a domestic incident on Christmas Day last year, then filed her own divorce papers, but the pair have now agreed to resolve their dispute.

The source added: “Charlie went and filed while she was on the plane flying to see her parents in Palm Beach, Florida. But now that calmer heads have prevailed, Charlie and Brooke's attorney's are formally asking for their divorce filings to be heard as one case.”

Brooke is presently in a rehab facility in Los Angeles, where she is expected to stay for this week and the next in her bid to stay sober.

Her mother, Moira Fiore, said: “Brooke is struggling with sobriety, and we are going away on a cruise, so we feel better that she will be there while we are gone.

"Brooke is really trying to get her life back.”

Pals Say Zac Efron And Vanessa Hudgens Will Get Back Together
















High School Musical co-stars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens recently ended their four-year romance after growing apart but, their pals are hopeful it won’t be long until they reconcile.

One friend told Hollywoodlife.com: “They realize that they both can trust each other, and there will be a bond between them forever. Career demands, distance and wanting to enjoy being single are the main reasons for the break-up. I’d be shocked if they don’t get back together someday.”

While they may no longer be an item, Zac, 23, and 21-year-old Vanessa are still close and are spending a lot of time together.

The source added: “They have hung out with each other as recently as two weeks ago and will continue to hang out, since they are best friends.”

The break-up is said to have been amicable and the pair just realized it was time to end things.

One friend said: "They are still talking and still friends. There's no drama. No one cheated. They just grew up."

Zac recently gushed about his relationship with Vanessa but admitted he was pleased they didn't live together.

He said: "When we're filming we spend a lot of time apart, but that's what keeps it fresh you know? Also, when you're working you need to be really focused. At least I like to be focused so that time away is important. Then when you come back it's better than ever."

Yoga Helped Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie's Marriage

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have pretty hectic schedules on top of parenting duties for 6 kids, so it makes sense that they'd need to relax and connect together once in a while. Apparently they do just that by practicing yoga together with a man named Guru Ram Lalji.

Brangelina (Bauer Griffin) A source told Now magazine: “They’ve been practicing his Siddha yoga and they start and end the day by chanting a sacred word he’s given them. It’s transformed their relationship – they’ve both cut back on drinking and no longer argue.”

Brad and Angelina are not the only couple to practice yoga together. It was recently revealed that David and Victoria Beckham have developed an interest in the relaxation technique and attend regular sessions together.

A source said: "Victoria and David do power yoga classes for couples for an hour about twice a week. It's a very intimate experience. You have to learn to become one entity entirely. You stretch, breathe and move as one - it's great for couples and probably better than talking in a way. They started taking the classes about a year ago and it's astonishing how in tune with each other they are these days."

Taylor Swift Reached On 21

2010 has been a massive year for Taylor Swift, who took home a number of awards, appeared in the blockbuster romantic comedy "Valentine's Day," and scored a chart-topping album with Speak Now.

And Monday (December 13), the pop-country chanteuse will officially turn 21 years old. And while we don't know what boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal might be getting her, we do have some idea what she might be doing on the big day.

With her birthday so close to Christmas, Swift revealed to MTV News back in October that she had big plans for the milestone birthday. She explained, "The plans for the 21st birthday probably are going to be winter-themed. I love winter. I love Christmas."

Swift, who admits she's not much of a party girl, will make sure the party is focused more on the season than her.

"When I was a little kid and I was growing up, they'd always have a Santa Claus guy show up and take everybody's wishes or what they wanted for Christmas. I'm not gonna do that, but there'll definitely be lots of Christmas-themed things," she revealed.

So, will that include some spiked eggnog? "Well, you know, legally, I could," she teased.

In an interview with People.com, she said she even has the perfect place for the party. "I'd really like to have it in my condo," she explained about throwing the bash in Nashville. "I think that would be wonderful."

While turning 21 means Swift can legally drink alcohol, that's not the main reason she's excited about the milestone birthday.

"It'll be cool that I'll be able to go to a lot of concerts that my friends always go to and I sit at home because it's 21 and over," she said. "Other than that, I don't think I'm going to all of a sudden start being in love with the idea of going to a club."

Actress Joanna Garcia And Yankees Star Nick Swisher Tie The Knot!

Actress Joanna Garcia is a new wife! She and Yankees star Nick Swisher walked down the aisle in front of 375 friends and family members in Palm Beach, Florida, reports Us magazine.

The wedding sounded like quite the production (their 7-layer cake cost a reported $10,000!), and the bride and groom weren't the only famous faces in the ceremony.

Stars like Lance Bass, Reba McIntyre, and Jamie Lynn Sigler were in the wedding party as they watched Garcia walk down the aisle in a Monique Lhuillier gown.

It sounds like these two are headed for some wedded bliss. The Better with You actress gushed about her baseball beau in a previous interview: "This relationship's been the easiest thing I've ever done," Garcia explains. "It works out because we both have crazy schedules for a certain period of time in our lives, but for some reason it doesn't conflict as much as one would think. Life's good right now. We're enjoying it."

Gia Mantegna Named Miss Golden Globes 2011!


Twenty-year-old Gia Mantegna, who is the daughter of actor Joe Mantegna and his restaurateur wife Arlene, has been tapped as the next Miss Golden Globes.

The actress feels “honored” to have been awarded the prestigious title by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

She said: "I have grown up watching the Golden Globes with my family and feel so fortunate to be part of such a magical evening, so early on in my career."

Previous Miss Golden Globes include Melanie Griffith -- daughter of Hitchcock's leading lady Tippi Hedren -- who gave out the awards in 1975.

Rumer Willis was named Miss Golden Globe in 2008, but the subsequent ceremony was cancelled due to the Hollywood writer's strike. Kevin Costner's daughter Lily was Miss Golden Globe in 2004 and in 1995 the title was given to a boy, Clark Gable's son John.

Gia, who is dating Hannah Montana actor Mitchel Musso, started her acting career at the age of 13 when she appeared in the film Uncle Nero alongside her father.

She has since appeared on Secret Life of the American Teenager, Criminal Minds and NickTeen series Gigantic alongside Meryl Streep's daughter Grace Gummer. The president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Philip Berk, commented: "We are thrilled to have Gia as this year's Miss Golden Globe.

"She is just as talented as she is beautiful and will surely be a great addition to the show." The 68th Golden Globe Awards will be presented on January 16 at the Beverly Hilton hotel in California.
