Yay? Models Get Gross Lawn Water Half Off During Fashion WeekIn an obvious gambit to get the gazelle-like clotheshorses of Fashion Week to drop a few pounds of water weight in order for a dress to hang juuuust right, the Council of Fashion Designers of America have announced a new partnership with Gwyneth Paltrow-approved juice cleanse/detox brand Organic Avenue that will allow Fashion Week models to go to town on, say, a Dandelion-Kale salad, for 50% off the regular price.

The CDFA, headed by president Diane Von Furstenberg and CEO Steven Kolb, released the following statement about the newly-brokered deal:

"Models have described the difficulty of finding food that is both nutritious and convenient during Fashion Week. Please keep this in mind for both backstage and fittings. To address this issue, we have partnered with Organic Avenue during Fashion Week and continuing through March 31, Organic Avenue will provide support and education to models in addition to a generously discounted rate of 50% on all cold-pressed juices and food. We hope that this will give models both guidance and the added nutrition they need during this demanding time!"

The regular cost of an Organic Avenue juice is $9 to $13. That's some expensive-ass lawn water.

Although Tracy Jordan's lackey Walter "Dot Com" Slattery (played by Kevin Brown) only pops up occasionally on your dearly beloved 30 Rock, many of the 1993 Wesleyan University graduate cerebral musings (which the rest of the gang rarely get) have been compiled by our friend Slacktory. With an encyclopedic knowledge of everything from Uta Hagen to George Eliot, dude should have been smart enough to stay far, farrrr away from the denizens of network television.

Elisabeth Moss Was Nervous About Doing Onscreen Nudity For The First Time

Elisabeth Moss Was Nervous About Doing Onscreen Nudity For The First TimeWhile we wait with '50s cocktails and bated breath for the last season of Mad Men, Elisabeth Moss shot Jane Campion's new Sundance Channel miniseries Top Of the Lake, in which she played a hard-boiled female detective and "damaged fortysomething women sleep in shipping crates." Sounds like my mom's house.

Moss played coy about where Peggy will end up in the new season: "The only thing I can even say is that she's trying on new things. She's trying to figure out who she is, still, and she hasn't quite found it yet. But I think her journey in trying to figure out who she is … she's getting closer. She's getting closer.")

She also spoke about how Campion used her "wonderful female energy" to coax Moss into her first-time onscreen nudity:

Yeah, that was an interesting part of it, because I knew there was going to be some nudity, and I didn't want to do it at first. I sort of balked at it and scrutinized it and went over it, but in my initial conversations with Jane, I'd get off the phone with her and be like, "You know, I just feel safe. I have a feeling that this is going to be fine." And it wasn't just that she told me it was gonna be fine and she told me it was gonna be safe.

But Jane Campion is going to be the last… she's the most feminist woman in the world. You know, she's going to be the last person to take advantage of you. Most importantly, too, she was like, "You're gonna look great." [Laughs.] And as a female, an actress, that's important. And you don't want to be put in any position - pun intended - that's not good. And she just made me feel safe. I was able to look at playback on set and make sure that things were going in the right direction.

Catholic Church Will Be Looking Into That "Fetuses Aren't People" Hospital Lawsuit

Catholic Church Will Be Looking Into That "Fetuses Aren't People" Hospital LawsuitWell, this makes sense. The husband of 31-year-old Lori Stodghill and her unborn twins, who died in the lobby of St. Thomas More Hospital in Canon City, Colorado, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the hospital and its conglomerate, Catholic Health Initiatives, for all three victims. Here's a writeup, and now there's an interview:

Click to view

Stodghill passed away of a heart attack while waiting for care on New Year's Day of 2006. The litigation has been going on for two years, and defense attorneys just launched an argument that startled bereaved husband Jeremy Stodghill, as well as anyone familiar with the Catholic stance on abortion: an embryo is not a person. The judge ruled in favor of the hospital, which then counter-sued Stoghill for over $118,000 in legal fees.

Jeremy Stodghill has petitioned the state's Supreme Court to hear his case and plans on following up with the Catholic Church on the matter. Although reps for the Catholic bishops of Colorado declined to comment on the legal tactic, they have stated that they plan to review the Catholic Health Initiative's practices "to ensure fidelity and faithful witness to the teachings of the Catholic Church." So remember, kids: Life begins at conception, except when it's inconvenient and costly!

Study Finds That Almost Half of Bisexual Women Have Been Raped

Study Finds That Almost Half of Bisexual Women Have Been RapedLast year it was discovered that bisexual women were more likely to have depression or anxiety than straight women—the head researcher said this was likely due to dealing with the stigma against bisexuals. Now, the first national study that examines abuse rates by womens' self-identified sexual orientation has discovered that they're nearly twice as likely to be abused at the hands of a partner than straight women are. The study, which was conducted in 2010 but just released Friday:

found that 35% of straight women had experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by a partner at some point in their lives. But 43.8% of lesbian women had experienced one of the three, as had a full 61.1% of bisexual women. [...] 46.1% of [bisexual women] had experienced rape at some point, compared with 13.1% of lesbian women and 14.7% of straight women.

85% of the abusive situations reported by the bisexual women were perpetrated by a male partner. Over half of these women also said that their personal and professional lives suffered after their attack, compared with just 33.5% of the lesbians and 28.2% of the straight women.

The head of the study, Mikel Walters, hopes that her findings will lead to more research and awareness about domestic abuse across all sexual orientation lines: "We hope that these findings will be used by policymakers and practitioners to expand services to everyone who experiences intimate partner violence."

Christian Radio Trolls Discuss The Two Schools of Feminism: Hot and Not Hot

$

You may remember Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner, the delightful duo on RightWingWatch.org's radio station, as the super-conservative wackadoos who hated and wanted to eat the Muppets. Now, they want you to know that giving your daughter the gift of upper schooling will launch her esteemed future in "selfish, narcissistic, family-destroying whoring." (Feminism. He means feminism.) Swanson and Buehner, who are obviously women's issue scholars, also inform listeners that there are actually two sects of these man-hating, godless harpies to look out for:

There are two forms of feminism, and it actually has to do with a division of how attractive a woman is.

Oh, right, the feminst discourse that Germaine Greer and Gloria Steinem once discussed passionately and at length until their Cafe Ole's got cold. Tell me more.

So, you have the group that is very attractive, they're in the sororities, they're gonna be in the beauty contests. They're actually going to get the good jobs. They're going to leverage their attractiveness in the marketplace because it has a market value. Marketing. It helps market who you are. They're going to proceed, now they will probably some of them become the Sarah Palin-style feminists, they'll get themselves a husband, but they'll never be dependent on the husband, they'll never submit to the husband, in fact they will use their power probably to make their husband submit to them.

So that's... the good kind? Verdict: Whore (?) On the other hand, the second group is:

Attractively challenged. Optically challenged. These are the kinds that will look for careers mostly likely in academia [and] they're generally very angry about it because their attractive…or their lack of attractiveness has not given them access to power that they wanted in the marketplace... Academia's actually the best place because you can be angry, ugly and you can also get tenure.

Which brings us back to those Ugly Academic Women who hand out flyers about the patriarchy at the Au Bon Pain on campus when they're not in class doing a Vulcan mind-meld on your daughter. Verdict: SUPER Whore.

Which one are you?! Is there an online test for this? Like the electronic Sorting Hat quiz from Harry Potter?

Woman Whose Photos Were Used To Create "Lennay Kekua" Understandably Flees Social Media

Woman Whose Photos Were Used To Create "Lennay Kekua" Understandably Flees Social MediaThe epic catfishing of Manti Te'o continues to befuddle the nation. 23-year-old Los Angeles woman Diane O'Meara, whose photographs were now infamously appropriated by Ronaiah Tuiasosopo as an avatar for the nonexistent "Lennay Kekua," wrote a piece in the L.A. Times where she basically just does this. And who can blame her?

I thought I had been careful with the privacy settings on my Facebook and Instagram accounts. I kept up with Facebook's privacy policies and took advantage of privacy tools. My private profile was not searchable by anyone who was not a "friend of a friend." I even limited access to photos of me that were posted by other people and tagged on my profile. And I made sure that every post and tag that was on my timeline was there because I allowed it to be there.

O'Meara explains that Tuiasosopo, an acquaintance from her high school, took a variety of photos off of her Facebook page without her knowledge (obviously), and eventually contacted her for personalized shots, plying her with a sob story:

In a series of increasingly frantic messages in December, he asked me to get in touch with him, saying, "It's an emergency" and assuring me "I'm not hitting on you." [...] When I finally did make contact, he told me that he was trying to cheer up his cousin, who'd been nearly killed in a car accident and was awaiting surgery for head trauma.

She has since shut down her Twitter, Facebook and Instagram but says that it's "a temporary solution" and she'll eventually return to the Interwebz.

Frank Ocean and Chris Brown Engage in Idiotic Brawl Over Parking Space

Frank Ocean and Chris Brown Engage in Idiotic Brawl Over Parking SpaceI wish we could all get along like we used to in middle school. I wish I could bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and everyone would eat and be happy. Instead, Chris Brown, Frank Ocean and six posse members threw down in the parking lot of a recording studio in West Hollywood last night.

Aside from the wanton aggression and flashiness that serves as the through-line of all of Brown's dumbassery, it bears little resemblance to The Great Drake and Chris "Da Club" Incident of 2011, later immortalized in a mushroom-fueled pan flute ballad by Jethro Tull. No bottles were thrown, and it was not over Rihanna. Instead, it was over a parking space, which is how the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets began, actually.

As Chris went to leave, Ocean and his [...] crew blocked Chris from leaving. Sources say Frank said, "This is my studio, this is my parking spot." At that point, Chris went to shake Frank's hand and one of Frank's people attacked Chris... whose friends jumped in front and hit Frank's friend.

At which point we get a quote that was likely printed under Brown's yearbook picture:

"The altercation allegedly led to Chris Brown punching the victim," the department said in a statement released early Monday morning.

Serial Dater John Mayer Lurches Over To Allison Williams

Serial Dater John Mayer Lurches Over To Allison WilliamsDespite Katy Perry's best efforts, one cannot domesticate the Wild Striped Douchebag, and John Mayer is no exception. Like the Countess Elizabeth Báthory, best remembered for bathing in the blood of virgins to retain her youth, it was only a matter of time before Mayer found the latest zeitgeisty female It-person and tried to suck the publicity out of them.

He was spotted at the Jane Hotel on Friday night with Girls star Allison Williams, his arm around her waist. Williams is reportedly dating Mayer's friend Ricky Van Veen, the founder of College Humor. So I guess one could argue that this incident is a harmless friend hang, but that's kind of like saying otters like a little oil spill in their water!

Afterwards the two had Mexican food in the West Village with a third dude, and "seemed to be in an intense conversation the entire night. They stayed pretty late until the restaurant was clearing out." Mystery solved: HE'S the wound. [NYDN]


Serial Dater John Mayer Lurches Over To Allison WilliamsAmy Poehler is writing a book! Amy Poehler is writing a book! "Her original twist on the conventional memoir will have universal appeal," says publisher Harper Collins, explaining that it will be "an illustrated, non-linear diary full of humor and honesty and brimming with true stories, fictional anecdotes and life lessons." Drops 2014. [Vulture]


Serial Dater John Mayer Lurches Over To Allison WilliamsApproximately half the hands imprinted in the pavement outside Grauman's Chinese Theater have touched the boobs of self-professed 1970s starfucker Carole Mallory, who was rebounding from a broken engagement with Pablo Picasso's son Claude. She wrote about her sexploits in a new tell-all for anyone interested in Peter Sellers' body hair.

Robert Deniro: "During lovemaking, he never stopped looking in my eyes. He had a butterfly tattoo that I later realized matched his flighty spirit. So did the fact he left his socks on."

Peter Sellers: "I kissed him all over his hairy body. He had hair everywhere. He even had it on his back. I liked it. He reminded me of a giant panda bear."

Richard Gere: "His gymnastic skills were apparent. He made love his way . . . He didn't withhold. He was Valentino in the flesh. A sex symbol not to be forgotten. Not to be lumped in with all the others, but to be remembered for his uniqueness. His thoughtfulness. His caring."

Ashley Judd and Dario Franchitti Split With No Hard Feelings, For RealUnfortunately, The Year That Love Died appears to be extending into 2013: Actress, vocal feminist and possible Kentucky senatorial candidiate Ashley Judd and her husband, three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti, are divorcing after eleven years of marriage, which is like a golden anniversary in celebrity years.

"We have mutually decided to end our marriage. We'll always be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on the special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed."

The split is mature and amicable, and Judd doesn't seem destroyed over taking "racing wife" off her resumé, maybe because she is so tired from running and screaming and saving her TV son from shadowy baddies.

Dakota Fanning Celebrates Adulthood With First Nude SceneRight around the moment Dakota Fanning made out with Kristen Stewart-as-Joan Jett in The Runaways, you may have realized that she's segued from her super-driven, super-child-actressy days (see: Amy Poehler's SNL sendup) to her eyeliner-skinny jeans-posing-for-Marc Jacobs-ads-going-to-Coachella period. But the Kote's grown-ass womanhood will be solidified when her coming-of-age drama Very Good Girls drops this year, featuring Fanning's first-ever onscreen nude scene. (And maybe the first time she has ever been naked, like, ever. How do we know?!)

She explained at Sundance this year, "Yeah, well, I've never done that before and I'm very newly allowed to do that. I was newly 18, so yeah, it was, it's kind of a sensitive thing, but it's a part of life."

But then, she did a rape scene in Hounddog at 12, so this must feel like going backwards? [MTV News]

Her lawyer said that LiLo's upper respiratory infection—a result of New York's flu epidemic—made it unwise for her to fly.

"Glad to see you're feeling better," Sautner said a few minutes into the pretrial hearing for Lohan's misdemeanor car crash case. "Thank you," the actress replied.

Sautner then asked: "Is that a cold?"

"Yes," Heller replied. "In New York City, it's the flu."

"No it isn't," Sautner, a former New York City police detective, shot back. "I still have New Yorker in me. The flu is a whole different test."

In the court of phlegm, LiLo is out of order. Cue Law & Order gavel noise. [NYDN

Beyoncé on Her Miscarriage: 'The Saddest Thing I've Ever Been Through' In HBO's upcoming Beyoncéumentary Life Is But A Dream, Beyoncé publicly discusses her pre-Blue Ivy miscarriage for the first time, which Jay-Z referenced in his song "Glory" (recorded days after Blue Ivy's birth).

"About two years ago, I was pregnant for the first time. And I heard the heartbeat, which was the most beautiful music I ever heard in my life. I picked out names. I envisioned what my child would look like... I was feeling very maternal. I flew back to New York to get my check up – and no heartbeat. Literally the week before I went to the doctor, everything was fine, but there was no heartbeat. [And then] I went into the studio and wrote the saddest song I've ever written in my life, and it was actually the first song I wrote for my album. And it was the best form of therapy for me."

She also compares being pregnant to being in love ("You are so open. You are so overjoyed. There's no words that can express having a baby growing inside of you, so of course you want to scream it out and tell everyone"). GAH, so sad. :-( But, as anyone with a magazine subscription and/or a pulse is aware, her story has a happy ending. [Us Weekly, Rolling Stone]


Beyoncé on Her Miscarriage: 'The Saddest Thing I've Ever Been Through'On a lighter note, a self-confessed tipsy Jennifer Lawrence (the producers gave her tequila shots!) told Jimmy Kimmel that her boobs are two slightly different sizes. I think that's normal; mine are. That's normal, right? Can someone Tweet that question at Judy Blume for me?

"I just went to the doctor today, I got a chest X-ray of my lungs and discovered that my breasts are uneven. I was like standing there with these doctors and they're like looking at my lungs and I just couldn't-it felt like an elephant in the room-and I was like, 'Are my breasts uneven?' And they were just kind of, like, stifled and uncomfortable, obviously. So I kept thinking, 'Well, I'm gonna dig myself out of this hole by bringing it up again.' So he was like, 'All right, our radiologist will get back to you about your lungs.' And I was like, 'And my breasts.'"

Beyoncé Goes H.A.M. at Super Bowl, Announces Imminent World Domination

Beyoncé Goes H.A.M. at Super Bowl, Announces Imminent World DominationSo last night Beyoncé literally blew the lights out at the Super Bowl with a powerhouse performance featuring Destiny's Child (dammit, why "Bootylicious"? If they had done "Survivor" or "Bills Bills Bills," I would have jumped on the coffee table and dumped the nacho dip over my head like a 'roid-riddled athlete bathes in Gatorade). Plus she was giving us really intense "fuck you for putting me through all that lip-synching bullshit" death-eyes. Oh, and there were two creepy face-silhouettes made of fire, and a dazzling array of digital Beyoncés, and Michelle Obama called it "phenomenal," AND here is some intel on her black leather butt doily if that's the kind of thing that grinds your gears.

Anyway, she's back, and she's just announced the Mrs. Carter World Tour (love! Love, you guys!), her first multi-city tour in more than three years, which starts in Serbia and ends in Brooklyn. There is a video. It's marginally insane. [YouTube via Hollywood Life]

And here are gifs. [Vulture]

A hella comprehensive list of celebrities responding to Beyonce's halftime extravaganza on Twitter. (With an impressive volume of reactions that are simply "BEYONCE!!!") [Gossip Cop]

It's LOVE, you guys, it's love, I want it. [NYDN]


Beyoncé Goes H.A.M. at Super Bowl, Announces Imminent World DominationEver since Megan Fox's son Noah was born, her diagnosed obsessive-compulsive disorder has significantly improved, Fox told Marie Claire UK: "I think Brian [Austin Green] was waiting to see what I would do [during the birth], because, you know, when they come out they are covered in all kinds of stuff. I took him right on my chest and, from that moment, nothing he does freaks me out. I don't want to give him a complex. [The OCD] has been significantly better since he was born. I would say, like, 80 percent better. Which is nice." [Contact Music]


Beyoncé Goes H.A.M. at Super Bowl, Announces Imminent World DominationA source close to Katie Holmes says that she wants to start dating again but is scared that she'll fall RIGHT back into being the indentured servant/arm candy of a toothy megalomaniac who prays to space aliens again. Oldest story in the book, you guys. I mean, if I had a dime for every time I talked to my therapist about that, I'd have... zero dimes?

"Katie's in a dilemma, because she wants to date but is concerned where it could lead to from there. She's worried that if she commits herself fully to another man, she will have to give up the freedom she's enjoying so much at the moment. As a single woman, she has no one controlling her nowadays, telling her what to do or who to see and she absolutely loves it!

However, at the same time, she also misses being with someone special to share experiences with and she doesn't want to be alone for the rest of her life. Katie's got Suri for the time being, and she is her best friend, but she does eventually want to find a man she can be that close with as well. She's just a little nervous and cautious about relationships still right now."

But then one day you find out that she is just some bitch." He has already taken to Twitter to do damage control.

Have Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts Gone From BFFs to Frenemies?

Have Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts Gone From BFFs to Frenemies?IMHO, Naomi Watts has always been the more endearing half of the blonde, icy "Aussie Posse" best-friend duo that includes herself and Nicole Kidman. Watts, who got a Lead Actress Academy Award nod for her role in The Impossible, is filming a 60 Minutes CBS segment as part of their pre-Oscars nominee special. But when asked to speak in a quick 5-minute segment on behalf of Watts, Kidman declined. Says an insider: "Clearly she's not inclined to help her friend because she's jealous she's not in this year's Oscar's spotlight." Kidman's camp protests that she had to turn it down due to time constraints, but the source (who I am picturing as Watts' husband Liev Schreiber with a fake girly voice) shoots back: ""It was a ‘no' right off the bat [for Nicole.] She could have made time if it was a priority."

To make matters more competitive, the two are currently each shooting the biopic of a famous golden-haired princess-slash-tabloid victim at the moment: Kidman is portraying Princess Grace of Monaco and Watts Princess Diana. [NYDN]

Finally, Kidman admits to Botox. (She's laying off the Botox.) [HuffPo]


Have Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts Gone From BFFs to Frenemies?Jennifer Aniston, preternatural favorite of the "loser-in-love" tabloid story, is taking preventative measures with Justin Theroux so that she doesn't become a GROSS OLD CRONE FISHWIFE (translation: A beautiful, successful, charismatic single female millionaire) and dragging Justin to couples therapy.

"She thought it would be a good idea to start married life rid of any problems," a source close to the two told Grazia. "Justin seems to be as much a believer in the therapy as Jennifer is. On arrival, they had to hand over their mobile phones and undertake counseling, couple massages and screaming therapy - where you howl your feelings out at the top of your voice. It was pretty tough going and they had to address all of their deepest fears and worries.'' My deepest fear and worry would probably start with an "A" and end with "gelina Jolie." [Belfast Telegraph]


Have Nicole Kidman and Naomi Watts Gone From BFFs to Frenemies?Russell Brand, one of the last people on earth who can be effectively described with old-timey Britishisms like "scalliwag" and "gadabout," has apparently invited Demi Moore on a spiritual retreat at the Ananda Spa in the Himalayas because yoga and meditation helped him so much during his split with Katy Perry. The spa promises to "cleanse the soul" and "heal internally," which I bet won't be the ONLY thing going on "internally" (I'm talking about our old friends Penis and Vagina, just to be clear). Call me a purist, but I think vodka shots and flirtations with creepy, vaguely European dudes at bars are the only way to get over a breakup. You've got the right idea, Demi. [The Sun]

On Howard Stern's show, Brand said that he hardly listens to Perry's music and kind of gives no shits about her love connection with numb Lothario John Mayer.

"What do you think of your ex dating John? Isn't he a womanizer?" Stern asked.

"It's worse or better than me - depending on how you view it," Brand replied. "You have to let go of the instinct to protect someone once you divorce them."

A guys came up to me while we were shooting and said, ‘My sister loves your tits.' I was like, ‘Thank you so much!'")

Leighton Meester and Adam Brody in Love: Life Imitates WB Fanfic

Leighton Meester and Adam Brody in Love: Life Imitates WB FanficThe universe works in mysterious ways, but occasionally a gear will click into place and simplify at least one aspect of your troubled adult existence. Examples: cheese going on fries, and the fact that Blair Waldorf and Seth Cohen are dating. See? Motherfucking TOLD YOU. It's like the plot of The Time Traveler's Wife set in the WB/CW universe. The real tragedy is that we don't get a Gossip Girl/O.C. crossover out of it where Serena totes falls for Ryan and his emotionally wounded anecdotes of the hard streets of Chino.

Apparently Leighton Meester and Adam Brody have been going out since they met on the set of upcoming movie The Oranges and have since spent some of January in Bangkok together (ironically the site of Chuck Bass's opium-fueled meltdown after his dad died, not that I watched the show obsessively and loved it and blew a metric fuck-ton of money on this dress). And I mean also, Bangkok. LOLOLOLZ, it is the name of the city in Thailand where they went, and also funny-sounding because = intercourse.

Guys, what is intercourse? Nobody will tell me. [Page Six]


Leighton Meester and Adam Brody in Love: Life Imitates WB FanficJennifer O'Neall, onetime friend and later assistant to Lady Gaga, is demanding $380,000 of unpaid overtime from Mother Monster. Their relationship was acrimonious (O'Neall says that she was given no privacy and treated like a slave on the 2010 tour; Gaga called O'Neall a "fucking hood rat.") Instead of paying up, Gaga plans on giving O'Neall's money to a cancer-stricken employee of the Haus, she says:

"Now her parents will keep paying for her and keep her until my cheque comes through, which she doesn't deserve and I'm not giving to her. She doesn't deserve a dollar more. I'm going to give all the money she wants to my employees that work hard for me and deserve it. I am going to give it to Sonja for her breast cancer, for her mastectomy. I'm not going to give it to [Jennifer] so she can go and buy a new tube top."

Which is very philanthropic of her? But wait, I'm having this totally revolutionary idea where you give money to both of them for being your indentured servants. [Daily Mail]


The third installment of Bridget Jones' Diary by Helen Fielding is coming out next fall in the UK. Meanwhile, Lily Allen has written music for the forthcoming Bridget Jones musical (song ideas: up-tempo "Unsexy Knickers," slow R&B jam "Snogging My Chap" and Mark Darcy's soulful romantic ballad "My Gherkin Is Turgid For You"). And also:

A further film sequel Bridget Jones' Baby by Working Title Films is due for release at some point this year.

Leighton Meester and Adam Brody in Love: Life Imitates WB FanficI hate to admit it, but I'm starting to feel a little sorry for Chris Brown, whose public likability quotient currently rests somewhere between Hitler and Mel Gibson's. Yesterday, after L.A. courts began to consider revoking his probation because he may have falsified his community service hours in Virginia, he got emo on his now-private Instagram:

"Im wise I can handle the hate but enough is enough yo!! [...] Im a human being and I honestly think I deserve respect im sick of being accused. Im Tired yall just dont understand Ive been going through this shit since I was 19 years old..you cant sit here and tell me to calm down, when am I gonna get a positive outcome out of anything I do?"

Just when everything seems to be going good, some new shit happens. A day in my shoes is a day in hell, believe it or not!"

Broke-Ass Lindsay Lohan Moves Back in With Her Mom

Broke-Ass Lindsay Lohan Moves Back in With Her MomLindsay Lohan has moved back into her teenage bedroom on Long Island with mom/"cool mom"/party friend Dina because Thomas Wolfe was wrong: you CAN go home again. Supposedly she's returned home to help pay the mortgage on the Lohan family abode (although she herself is strapped for cash, so I don't really see how that'll work unless she gets some more quick money from dates with princes). A source says she's been crashing there for at least three months now, unable to keep up with her own $8,000-a-month Beverly Hills rent.

Says a source, "Dina has been trying to get her to move home for years so she can keep a close eye on her. She didn't want her in L.A. anymore. Not only is she in New York now, she's in the next room." Also: "Dina's working on a book at home. A Parent Trapped is the working title. She says it's about surviving domestic abuse. She's shopping it around now."

To be fair, when LiLo was asked what's been keeping her sane through all the hullabaloo, her surprising and rather sad response was: "Family. Family is everything." :-| [NYDN, E!]


Broke-Ass Lindsay Lohan Moves Back in With Her MomI must say, there is a soft spot in the cockles of my heart for Demi Lovato, who sought help back in 2010 for depression, bulimia and self-harm and seems much better these days, although she admitted that she wasn't quite ready to join the judging panel on The X-Factor when she did.

She told UK's Cosmo On Campus that a better handle on romantic relationships have flourished alongside her health. "I'm in a place where I can finally trust and love and be a better person for the man I am in a relationship with, instead of being a clingy girlfriend or getting jealous. It is very unhealthy when girls devote all of their time to a guy and forget their friends and family. I did that. I was always looking for distractions because I was so afraid of being alone." [Us Weekly]


Broke-Ass Lindsay Lohan Moves Back in With Her MomIt's not really surprising that, in certain ways, Taylor Swift is kind of a Rules girl. She's currently doling out tough love to her buddy Selena Gomez in order to help her get over the Justin Bieber breakup, encouraging Gomez to go cold turkey on El Beebo, a source says:

"Taylor is very spiritual and superstitious and believes in the saying, ‘It takes half the time of a relationship you had with someone to get over the relationship you had with that person.' If Taylor can speed things up a little bit by being there for Selena and showing her the fun she can have, then she will gladly do it."

Oh, and if you saw anything out there about a Taylor Swift/Harry Styles sex-drenched iPhone hack leak, it's spam. But that's cool, soon we'll learn everything about them from the next T-Swizzle album. [Today, Showbiz Spy]

Jon Gosselin's Ex Is Gonna Be in That Girls Reality Show You Won't WatchUnfortunately for, uh, all citizens of Earth, the Girls reality show is apparently underway: ABC has picked it up and already chosen a star, a 25-year-old publicist named Hailey Glassman whose achievements include, hand to God, dating Jon Gosselin and being on an episode of My Life is A Lifetime Movie. She's also oranger than motherfucking Zoe the Sesame Street muppet.

"They've already cast Hailey because she sort of epitomizes the mid-to-upper class 20-something trying to make it in New York City," says the source. ALL WRONG.

And charming, too:
