Jezebel
- Lindsay Lohan will appear on SIX EPISODES of Ugly Betty, including the season finale. LL will play an old classmate of Betty's who is down on her luck. Naomi Campbell, Christian Siriano, Victoria Beckham and now Lindsay? It's official: Ugly Betty is the new Love Boat. [TMZ]
- Oooh, Lindsay's mugshot is being used in a drunk driving ad. [Reuters]
- Courtney Love was in the hospital over the weekend; homegirl has strep throat! Stay away. (Not that you needed a warning.) [Mirror]
- Thirty guests attended Jamie Lynn Spears's baby shower in Kentwood, LA on Saturday and big sis Britney was one of them. The ladies sat in a circle and opened gifts and nothing scandalous happened, yawn. [People]
- Britney hadn't been in her hometown since early 2007. Bet she misses some Southern cooking. [People]
- Miley Cyrus appeared at the Disney Channel Games concert Saturday night and thanked fans, saying: "Thank you guys for all your support. Without you, none of this would be possible. I love every one of you and I could not be more appreciative. God bless you." Then she took her top off. Kidding! [People]
- Boo! Amy Winehouse has backed out of recording the theme for the new James Bond flick because she's not ready to work. Also: Nothing rhymes with Quantum of Solace. [Variety]
- But! Amy will duet with Pete Doherty at a gig at Royal Albert Hall. Which sounds um, healthy? [Mirror]
- The nanny who is accusing Rob Lowe of sexual harassment also babysits for Shanna Moakler, whom you may know from the MTV show Meet The Barkers, as she is Travis Barker's ex-wife. [People]
- Oscar nominee Judy Davis is suing a Sydney newspaper over an article that implies she is a child-hating selfish hypocrite. The thing is, she doesn't want floodlights on a soccer field near her waterfront home. [Sydney Morning Herald]
- Dina Lohan to Jill Zarin of The Real Housewives of New York: "I don't watch TV. Especially reality shows." Haha bet you will when yours starts airing! [Rush & Molloy]
- Kim Kardashian: Seen going for a laser cellulite treatment... With camera crews in tow, of course! A butt that famous needs lots of attention and tender loving care. [Rush & Molloy]

- Dinner with Erykah Badu is up for auction! The proceeds go to the African American Museum in Dallas. [UPI]
- Gary Dourdan is "embarrassed" about his arrest situation. But the luggage in his car with all the drugs wasn't his and the reason he pulled over and cops found him sleeping in his car was because he didn't want to drive while drunk. So there's that. [People]
- Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes gave the Beckhams a wine tasting trip to Napa Valley for their birthday; Seal and Heidi Klum and Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman also came along. Hot couples wandering through the grapevines? Sounds like the opening scene of a very classy porn film. [Mirror]
- A woman is scheduled to testify at R. Kelly's upcoming child pornography trial, and will reveal that she had a threesome with R. and the allegedly underage girl in the infamous video. Wait, wouldn't that be a crime, too? Oh, the woman was also underage when she had the threesome. Great. And by great I mean awful. [TMZ]

I've got some curves, I've got a bubble butt, but I don't mind, because it's what powers me forward when I run." — Elisabeth Hasselebeck. [Page Six]
- "Unfortunately for certain media outlets, you will never be able 2 'Michael Jackson' me. That means 2 make it seem like everything I do is so weird or out of place... they always try 2 make it seem like everything is about my ego! That joke is getting old. At a certain point you have 2 respect that I'm one of the last artist that still cares about the fans having the best time of there lives!" —Kanye West. [Perez Hilton]
- Iron Man made $100 million? This country confuses me. [E!]

Miley has been taught well -- always pander to the fan base.
Deep Thoughts by Elisbeth Hasselbeck
mah mug shot, let me show you it.
Good for Linds. Seems like she's getting it together.
Dina Lohan is SUCH an asshole. Unbelievable.
Hasselbeck and her entire ass needs to STFU and go away.
And good for Gretchen Wilson. Better late than never, indeed!
Ha, forget TomKat's gift--Heidi Klum gifted Posh with one year of weekly deliveries of cupcakes!
I'm actually happy that there is boring news about Britney. Hope her recovery continues.
BTW did anyone else clip the NY TIMES article on Jezebel? It's on my memo board.
Note to Sting -- don't mess with the BBB!
Iron Man was pretty awesome - and there were more than a handful of scenes in which it seemed like Robert Downey Jr. was going through withdrawal in rehab. Method acting at its best.
For $300 dollars, I expect a tiny replica of a famous painting on each nail.
I wonder if the nanny on hearing Shanna Moakler's public support told her, 'No, no, I'm fine.'
I've been avoiding the strep throat outbreak at my college, so stay away Courtney Love! Actually, lets use this advice all the time.
Dear Kanye West:
The word is "to"
2 is a number, not a word.
Don't get them mixed up
Sincerely,
brokestephenswoman
An Amy Winehouse and Pete Dougherty duet?? Jesus, you'd OD by osmosis.
I love Ugly Betty and I love every guest star. LiLo will be great.
But can "Ugly Betty" snag Charo?
At first I missed the 'for' and I thought you meant the nanny babysits Shanna Moakler, as in feeds her and makes sure she wears pants, as opposed to watches her children.
Quantum of Solace is a terrible name. Even worse that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
@NefariousNewt: @Kittenish: Wait, I thought Ms. Hasselbeck was speaking through her @sshole when she said that......
If Elisabeth Hasselbeck has a bubble butt, then I am the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man...err Woman.
Everybody leave Amy alone. Things are a bit chaotic right now. She'll get her act together -- and record a country album.
If Amy is in no shape to record one song, with all the help that producers and modern technology can give her, then we are going to wait a long time for her next album.
To clarify: Lindsay's mug shot is being used in a PRO-drinking and driving ad.
Is Ugly Betty doing so bad that they have to trot all these big names through it?
Also, while Orlando is very pretty, he is a boy. My husband gets antsy when I'm clothing shopping, sitting at a fashion show would probably make his head explode.
@myrtlebeachbum: I'd watch if it were Ricardo Montalban.
It's like Courtney's trying to seem as unclean as she did in her heyday, by any means possible. I'm not sure it's working. And I'm not actually sure what strep throat is, but it sounds unpleasant.
iron man was great but i still can't believe it made that much money. i guess a lot of people needed to get out of the house!
yay for gretchen wilson. i'd buy her a beer (or six) if i could.
Kanye: The difference between 'there' and 'their', let me show you it.
@brokestephenswoman: Serious, it's just one more key on the keyboard. How hard is that?
Hey, Elisbeth (Elisabeth? Elizabeth? Whatever.)
Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, shut. the. FUCK. up.
Kittens and Puppies,
Meaghan2k
@NefariousNewt: That's the great thing about "The Love Boat:" it promises something for everyone.
@ThaKadinskyPapers: Ur faymus.
Elizabeth Hasselback has a big ass? Really? I kind of doubt it.
Did Lindsay make that dress out of a discarded hot air balloon?
You know dinner with Badu will be a leisurely affair; Erykah ain't one to be on time, that's for white folks.
"Quantum of Solace" and "ten million dollars" kind of rhyme if you have a British accent, right?
Blind Item: Danny Noriega
"some people weren't likin it!"
God, Jamie Lynn's shower sound awful. Can you imagine having to go, "Awww, how cute!" or "Another diaper champ!" over thirty times?
I would be knee deep in the punch bowl by the end.
Gary Dourdan is obviously a graduate of the "not mine" school of drug carrying. Lindsey "Not my pants" Lohan was a classmate.
I thought Iron Man was awesome.
@myrtlebeachbum: Hey, I LOVED "The Love Boat"--where else could a Gen X'er catch glimpses of classic stars? I always wanted the ship to cruise into Fantasy Island's port.
I wonder if Jill Zarin introduced herself to Dina as Jill or JillZarin.
Nice to hear that Hasselbeck has come to terms with her butt. I have not come to terms with her brain, but hope springs eternal.
@TruculentandUnreliable: A big ass for her is when she can't fit into her super cute underwear that she purchased at Limited Too.
"Gary Dourdan is "embarrassed" about his arrest situation. But the luggage in his car with all the drugs wasn't his.."
Sure, Gary, sure - not your 'luggage' right? Uh huh. Now where have I heard this before...
I'm not sure whether I'd rather watch a fashion show or drink sake.
Can't I just do Orlando--er, I mean, can't I just do both?
@braak: STOP trying 2 Michael Jackson him!
@BlondeGrlz: robert downey jr. made me a little faint in the knees.
he can be my iron man anytime.
I don't think being a big ass is the same thing as having a big ass, Elisabeth.
@braak: 2 hard apparently.
@DorothyZbornak: Although being a big ass with a big ass... that's asking for trouble.
@NefariousNewt: it's called "stunt casting" and Ugly Betty has been doing it from the beginning of the first season. It's part of the schtick.
Who backs out of being a Bond theme song?!?!?!?! MORON.
@DorothyZbornak: comment of the day!
@hello.kitty: there was a huge thread about it on Gawker over the weekend.

I sincerely hope the BI is not John Krasinski.
