The inside of Lindsay Lohan’s brain is composed of vodka, PediaLite and one failed Tyra Banks music video, but this hasn’t deterred Team Oprah from offering her $2 million actual American dollars to feature an 8-part docuseries on OWN about LiLo’s life and struggles. (For context, she got $1 million from her Playboy shoot.)
In addition to the paycheck, she gets two assistants and a stylist. Apparently they’ve been negotiating for months, and Lindsay actually signed the deal at Betty Ford, so tuck that away in the “It’s like ray-yayn on your wedding dayYYYY” file.
Fucking MEANWHILE, Dina Lohan was asked about the Great Oprah Adventure while gallivating around Jill Zarin’s fashion show. “Oh, it’s fantastic. If there’s any mentor you could choose, there’s nobody better than Oprah. This is a great opportunity for Lindsay. We are all very excited about it.” Will you appear in the docuseries, Dina? “Possibly! It’s about family… And I’m family.”
Give her hell, Oprah. [TMZ, NYDN, Page Six]
With the discovery of “numerous amounts of alcohol” and substances in Cory Monteith’s hotel room comes revelations about his sober life in L.A.

On Kris Jenner’s debut of her talk show Kris, the Mama Rose of Generation TMZ proved that the rental baby-as-publicity-stunt trend (See also: T-Swizzle and Harry Styles, December 2012) ain’t going nowhere. She used one to fool her audience into thinking it was North West.
The 57-year-old momager-turned-host fooled the world — for a few seconds, at least — as she brought out a baby from behind-the-stage.
The oohs and aahs ensued, but as it turned out, the infant was NOT baby North West: The tiny tot belonged to Jenner’s stylist.
Mama’s talkin’ loud! Mama’s doin’ fine! Mama’s gettin’ hot! Mama’s goin’ strong! JK, I predict this shit lasts one season. [Radar Online]
Once upon a time, a couple was driving to a Dave Matthews Band concert in Hershey, Pennsylvania when they stopped to pick up a hitchhiker who turned out to be Dave Matthews. He invited them to dinner and backstage afterwards.
Said passenger Emily Kraus, “We didn’t know how to make conversation with him, so we were talking about his tour and where he had come from.” Not their fault! Dave Matthews hadn’t spoken to a non-stoned person since 1996. He did the best he could by emitting a series of yelps and clicks and picking up the dinner check. [WXPI]
