Which Is Worse: Being A Child Star Or Being The Sibling Of A Child Star?
Sometimes, when watching Living Lohan, I want to cut Dina Lohan some slack, and think of her as the normal, suburban Long Island mom that she insists she is. However after hearing both Cody and Michael Jr. talk about the sacrifices they have to make (being pulled from school and leaving their friends for months at a time) for their sisters' careers, I wonder if Dina really is the nightmare stage mom the press makes her out to be. Then again, her second child Michael, who's now 20, seems to be relatively well adjusted, so who really knows? Clip above.

Michael Lohan Jr. Is Refreshingly "Normal"
We never really hear about Michael Lohan Jr. After seeing him on Living Lohan last night, I'm thinking that's because he might just be the sanest, most grounded person in that family. He was the first to admit to the family having to deal with the fallout from his parents' bitter divorce and "Lindsay and all her crap," whereas Dina attributes the family's troubles to the tabloid media. It's kinda sad how Michael has taken on the responsibility of being the "man of the house" at the age of 20, and that Dina willingly allows him to accept that. I felt kinda bad for Michael's girlfriend when watching the episode, because the girl really wanted to go home and spend time with her own family, but her needs weren't as important as the Lohan clan's. Christ, could you imagine having to deal with them as in-laws? Even though they aren't really married? Clip above.

Steven Tyler: Only His Feet Are In Rehab
- Steven Tyler says his "trademark athletic performances" injured his feet and that's why he's in rehab. He explains: "The doctors told me the pain in my feet could be corrected but it would require a few surgeries over time. The 'foot repair' pain was intense, greater than I'd anticipated. The months of rehabilitative care and the painful strain of physical therapy were traumatic. I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet." A. May. Zing. Who knew rehab was like a chilly pool? You can just dip your toes in it! [TMZ]
- Michael Lohan: Looking for Lindsay! Apparently he heard she was in New York with Sam Ronson and was kind of hanging around her hotel even though she has no interest in seeing him. A source says: "Michael was staking out the lobby and waiting for Lindsay to make an appearance. It was freaky. He was sitting on the steps and texting like mad, and looking very upset that she hadn't arrived." [Page Six]
- Alicia Keys is on strict vocal rest when not performing, so she only whispered at a recent photo shoot. And that's why she is not speaking to you. [Page Six]

- Mariah and new hubby Nick rented out Six Flags Magic Mountain last night so they could have a wedding celebration with their homies. Roller coasters? Just like MC's "Fantasy" video. Which came out in 1995. When Mariah was 25. And Nick Cannon was 15. Not that it matters. [TMZ]

Lindsay Sings: "If I Want It, I Get It. Now."
- Synth! Dance beat! Breathy vocals! It's Lindsay Lohan's new track, "Bossy." And guess what? It doesn't totally suck. "Stop touching me without permission," she sings. "I'm jut a little bossy. If I want it, I get it — Now." Ha! Like that fur coat? But is the song as good as Kelis's "Bossy"? Well, LL's track was written by Ne-Yo. Lemme know what you think. I may have to listen again. And Again. And then one more time, with rollerskates on. I'm so embarrassed. [People]
- Meanwhile: Lindsay's dad Michael is pissed that the Mingling Moms named ex-wife Dina a "Top Mom." He says: "Are you kidding? Look at her off-screen antics, her lack of morals and how she conducts herself. She comes stumbling out of Butter at 3:15 a.m. with bloodshot eyes and a red runny nose, yelling 'Oh, [bleep],' when she saw the paparazzi." Meanwhile, Dina says: "He's on a mission to destroy me." Wow, this kind of stuff must be great for the kids to hear. [Page Six]
- So Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon spill all their wedding details to People, including the fact that they get along because they are 'both eternally 12 years old" and Mariah now has a "Mrs. Cannon" tattoo. [Yahoo News]

- A second nanny in the Rob Lowe case has filed a cross complaint and it says that Rob's wife Sheryl sexually harassed her by walking around naked and asking about the size of the nanny's boyfriend's penis.

- The nanny also says the wife was "perverted, disgusting and crude." [People]
- Meanwhile, Rob Lowe's lawyer says the allegations are false, obvs. [People]

Newlyweds Jay-Z & Beyoncé: Already Brawling
- Lovers' spat! At a Barack Obama party, the DJ started playing "Crazy In Love" and Jay-Z grabbed the mic and said, "Sorry Bey but fuck that — let's play something else." B was pissed! Later the couple kissed and made up, though. [Mirror]
- This should not come as a surprise and hardly qualifies as news, but Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of The Hills want their own show. They've been in NYC pitching it to execs; it would be about them (gag) planning their wedding. Listen, if we all concentrate, maybe we can prevent this from happening: Every time Spencer gets what he wants, an angel loses its wings. [Page Six]
- Amy Winehouse has taken up painting watercolors. I want to hang one in my apartment so badly. [Mirror]

- Dr. Phil is so classy and generous! He allegedly posted bond for one of the cheerleaders arrested for beating a teenage girl on videotape because her grandmother told reporters she didn't have the money to bail her granddaughter out. Of course, that means that Dr. Phil would have "exclusive" rights to her story. [TMZ]
- But wait! It wasn't Dr. Phil but a production assistant from his show. Also known as a scapegoat. [TMZ]
- A source says "It's getting desperate" behind the scenes of Dr. Phil's show. Ya think? [MSNBC]

It's Ring Time For Rose And Robert
- Rose McGowan and her Planet Terror director Robert Rodriguez: Engaged! She was previously engaged to Marilyn Manson; he was previously married to the mother of his 5 kids.

- In any case, after court, Britney went shopping at Neiman-Marcus. [ET]

Celebrity Rehab: The Only "Promise" Is Lindsay Will Remain A Coke-Addled Lush Who Can't Drive
Call me naive; I always figured that, profligacy/paparazzi/presence of other addicted photogenic celebs aside, Lindsay was on balance better off in rehab than at, you know, Hyde. Really, what was I thinking? There is no crop of people more price-insensitive than a bunch of people used to watching a few grand disappear inside their nostrils every day, which is why the sliding scale for rehab in Malibu ranges from the ghetto no-frills cost of $15,000 a month to practically 70 grand a month at Passages, and not that I really give a shit about the exploitation and mistreatment of celebrities but I would like a little variety in my TMZ news cycle and today's LA Times investigation into Promises etc. actually managed to piss me off: there aren't even any fucking doctors working at these places!

Lindsay Lohan and her father, Michael, will spend five days together at a secluded Utah lodge, reports People. "It can only help her recovery," Dina Lohan says. "It's time to mend." Also, we're not sure Michael has anything else to do. We're not kidding. After two stints in prison, rehab, and failed reality TV pitches, Michael doesn't really have any cash flow. In July, when asked whether he would seek employment, as the judge ordered, he countered: "I work for (Christian drug and alcohol program) Teen Challenge. I work for God." Hopefully The Almighty can spot Michael 5 vacation days. [People, Access Hollywood]
