- After Michael Lohan had a press conference urging Lindsay Lohan to go to rehab. Lindsay’s friend Jenni Muro is speaking out: “As one of Lindsay’s closest friends, business partner, and former day-to-day manager… the news of any type of press conference saddens me for the simple fact that this is her FATHER. I normally do not comment or engage publicly, but it is important for people to understand how inappropriate today’s actions are. As far as the media, public, and fans are concerned; Lindsay is working on numerous projects and anyone who makes public judgments of her, it affects her more than personally. It affects her ability to do more work and prosper in all regards. I stand by my friend, always have and always will.” So wait, is she on drugs or not? [Radar Online]
- “I have had a very bad feeling for a while that Lindsay is going to have a major injury. I fear for her.

I have always said that Lindsay Lohan can be a wonderful, recovering person, provided she gets treatment and successfully completes rehab.” So says Dr. Drew Pinsky, who would like to have Lindsay Lohan by having her on the upcoming season of Celebrity Rehab. “I would love to help her any way I could, either in a public or private setting.” [Radar Online]

I was pleased that Blair had to sit down and answer for his decisions. And saddened that Bush never will. Bush has retired to the golf course. I cannot stomach that. It’s not right. Blair hasn’t said sorry or, by all accounts, made any comment to the kids who lost their arms and legs and eyes. Probably thousands of kids – and he hasn’t visited them.
