Lindsay Gets Ugly; Courtney Love Hospitalized; Jamie Lynn's Shower

  • 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]

Iron Man: The Charming, Agile, Crackling, Comedic Anti-Chick Flick

The summer blockbuster season is upon us, and we all know what that means: a lot fewer female-centered movies. However, as much as movie marketers seem to think every woman wants to see Made of Honor this weekend, many of us actually enjoy a good action flick every once and awhile. Like Iron Man. The first of the big-budget summer blockbusters, Iron Man, is a movie that has, in that annoying, trendy Hollywood jargon, "broad appeal". [Like "broad" as in euphemism for "female"? -Ed.] Robert Downey Jr. plays Tony Stark, an arms dealer with a limitless fortune who becomes Iron Man when he creates a computerized suit that gives him superhero abilities. (Sort of like Inspector Gadget meets Batman.) The real appeal of this movie is not in the stock Marvel Comics plot, but in the attitude and edge that Downey and Gwyneth Paltrow (who plays his assistant) bring to an otherwise standard, explosion-filled, digitally-enhanced film. In fact, film critics seem downright seduced by the film's cynical charm! Their reviews, after the jump. More »

Loose Lips When Miley Cyrus told Vanity Fair her favorite show was Sex and the City, "sources" tell People that Miley forgot to mention that she only watches the "sanitized" TBS version and that Miley's mom doesn't even let HBO in their squeaky clean Christian household. Riiiiiight. • Class act Dennis Rodman was busted yesterday on charges of felony domestic battery for roughing up his girlfriend while they were drunk. Apparently Rodman has plans to enter rehab soon. •Last night at the Iron Man premiere, Ok! asked jumpsuit-wearin' Brad Pitt-ex Gwyneth Paltrow if she had any "well wishes" for Brad, Angelina and their expanding brood. Gwyn's answer? A curt No! • [People, TMZ, Dlisted]

Iron Man Premiere: The Bold, The Beautiful, The Jumpsuit On Gwyneth

After a gajillion and a half screenings and press junkets, the Iron Man movie finally had its official premiere last night in Los Angeles. And. Um. How best to phrase this? Well: Gwyneth Paltrow wore a jumpsuit. Yes, a jumpsuit. (See left; larger image after the jump.) Fortunately, the movie's lead, Robert Downey, Jr., stepped it up: He and wife Susan both embodied old-school Hollywood style. Who else was there? Funny you should ask: Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor, Billy Corgan (!), Emmanuelle Chirqui, Jennifer Grey (!!), Sean "Diddy" Combs, Beau Bridges, Pete Wentz, Terrence "Baby Wipes" Howard, Vince Vaughn, Jack Black, Rosanna Arquette and more. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, all after the jump. More »

Gwyneth Paltrow Continues To Promote Cute Kids, Not New Film

Gwyneth Paltrow continued her talk tour to hype Iron Man by hitting up Live! With Regis and Kelly this morning. Only, again, she did less talking about the movie and more talking about her kids, Moses and Apple. Moses, you see, has a funny accent, which Gwyneth eagerly imitates. And Apple? Well, she loves pinatas, which are very hard to come by in England. And Regis? Well, he seems to be mocking Gwyneth for just how hard her life is the entire time. Clip above.
