And no, it's not exhaustion... yet. Access Hollywood reports the starlet was rushed to the emergency room at St. Vincent's after slipping at a Fashion Week party and fracturing her wrist. LindsLo was due in LA but hung around after the rain caused a flight delay. Feeeel better Linds.

CATFIGHT! Mother/Daughter Duo Dina & Lindsay Lohan Brawl!

Uh oh, Momager Supreme Dina Lohan and actress daughter (as well as tabloid fixture) Lindsay apparently were at each other's throats at NYC's hot Chinese eatery Phillipe. Dina's birthday celebration racked up a $2,000 bill, and she reportedly made 'five trips to the bathroom in 90 minutes'. Read on!


Lindsay Lohan & Momager Dina In Public Screaming Match
Dina Lohan may spend half of her life defending the actions of her daughter, but when it comes to being a grateful daughter, Lindsay Lohan still has a few things to learn. The troubled actress reportedly got into an ugly sceaming match with her mom (on her birthday!) resulting in the freckled party star storming out of the NYC eatery they were celebrating Dina's big day.
'On Thursday night, Lindsay reluctantly joined Dina for Dina's birthday celebration at Phillipe on East 60th Street. "Lindsay got a call from her mother telling her to come to the party," said a spy. "Lindsay didn't want to go, because her mother was drinking already, but she went anyway." All was well until the first course arrived. "When Lindsay got there, her mother and her four friends were into their second bottle of Cristal," said a restaurantgoer. "Right after the first course, they started fighting." The two began cursing each other in front of other patrons in the crowded Chinese eatery, including Ryan Cabrera, Brandy and Serena Williams at nearby tables. "A mortified" Lindsay finally told her mother to "go to hell!" before she exited. After Lindsay left, Dina started "crying and shaking . . . Dina typed vigorously on her BlackBerry for 45 minutes while her friends were just sitting there, and when the birthday cake came out, she broke out crying again - even louder."' After reportedly making "five trips to the bathroom in 90 minutes", a distraught Dina began throwing fortune cookies at the waiters and flipping them off before finally paying the $2,000 bill. To add a cherry on top of such a blessed evening, Dina failed to tip the patient waiters who, by the way, had to be assisted as she staggered out of the restaurant as it closed down for the night.

Nicole Richie Isn't Anorexic, Just Stressed

Nicole Richie is speaking out against reports of her having an eating disorder, citing stress (particularly for incessant media attention to her thin frame) as the main factor for her weight loss and constant thinness. Read on!


Nicole Richie Attributes Constant Media Poking To Thin Figure

Socialite Nicole Richie is begging tabloid editors to stop poking fun at her skinny frame - because the stress is beginning to make her look anorexic. The Simple Life star has been dogged by the anorexic tag for months, but insists she simply suffers from stress and finds it difficult to eat when she feels she's being judged by photographers and journalists. She recently took supermodel-turned-TV presenter Tyra Banks out for lunch before appearing on her talk show to discuss her weight issues, and confessed stories about her fabled anorexia simply serve to prevent her from gaining weight. Appearing healthy and tanned on Tyra, Richie told the ex-model, "You definitely don't want people constantly looking you up and down. I know the photographers are following me every day; I know that they're looking for something wrong and that doesn't feel good at all. That obviously doesn't help me." Richie revealed she has hired a nutritionist and has therapy sessions in a bid to control her stress levels and gain weight.

'Greetings From Tuscon' star, Pablo Santos Dies

Pablo Santos, one of the stars of the actually-quite-funny old school WB show 'Greetings From Tuscon' died in a plane crash. Sooo sad. May he Rest In Peace.


'Greetings From Tuscon" star, Pablos Santos Dies In Plane Crash

TOLUCA, Mexico - Teenage actor Pablo Santos, who starred in the television series "Greetings from Tucson," died after a small plane in which he was riding crashed in Mexico, a hospital official said Saturday. The Piper Malibu crashed Friday just over a mile short of the runway as it was making its approach to the airport in Toluca, some 35 miles west of Mexico City, according to the Mexico State Security Agency. Six other people were hospitalized. Santos, 19, was taken to the Social Security Hospital, where he died Friday, hospital spokeswoman Irma Garcia Guardarrama said. Santos starred as the son of a Mexican-American family portrayed in "Greetings from Tucson," which ran on the WB network from 2002 to 2003. He had appeared in numerous episodes on other television programs, including "Boston Public," "Law & Order" and "American Family," as well as films such as "Sea of Dreams" and "Party Animalz." Born in Monterrey, Santos moved with his family to Los Angeles when he was 12. Officials were investigating the cause of the accident.

Paris Victorious - Director Defends Heiress, Schrager Explains Rejection

Paris Hilton is bouncing back... a bit more!. Erik MacArthur, director of straight-to-DVD err.. smash, Bottoms Up responds to Simona Fusco's attack on the heiress [read it here!], claiming Paris has "star quality" while hotelier Ian Schrager explains he has "absolutely nothing personal against Paris Hilton". Richard J reports, reeead on!


Paris On Top As Director Defends Her & Schrager Has Nothing Against Her
THE busty blond starlet who called Paris Hilton a lousy actress has an ax to grind, says the director of Hilton's new direct-to-video comedy.
As we reported this week, Simona Fusco, who dances topless in "Bottoms Up," said Hilton showed up late on the set and hadn't memorized her lines. But filmmaker Erik MacArthur told us the hotel heiress not only was perfectly competent, but has star quality. "I think Simona is trying to take down the movie," MacArthur added. While he won't speculate on the Italian starlet's motives, MacArthur admitted having a fling with Fusco and giving her just one line to speak: "Last one in is a rotten egg!"
Meanwhile, Ian Schrager, the owner of the Gramercy Park Hotel, explained to Page Six why Paris is not welcome at the hotel's Rose Bar. "I have absolutely nothing personal against Paris Hilton - in fact I've never even met her. We're just trying to do something different here."

Diddy Diddles Danity Kane?

Don't shoot the messenger! MTO reports that there may be trouble in paradise for MTV/Bad Boy Entertainment's show-stoppin giiirl group Danity Kane, and it's got a lot to do with members Aubrey O'Day and Dawn Richard getting a piece of Sean "Diddy" Combs (who's girlfriend Kim Porter is currently expecting twins with him). DRAMA! Read onnnn!


Diddy Gets Caught in Danity Kane Aubrey/Dawn Crossfire
In an exclusive interview, MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a Bad Boy insider who claims that Danity Kane's Aubrey and Dawn have been fighting for weeks. According to the insider, "Dawn and [Diddy] have been spending a lot of time together recently - and its supposedly work related." Our source continued, "Aubrey has been [Diddy's] favorite, so she's upset about Dawn getting the extra attention."

Our source claims that during a recent rehearsal, Aubrey confronted Dawn about her "close" relationship with Diddy - and it turned violent. The insider tells, "I heard the girls yelling at each other, and Aubrey called Dawn a slut." Our tipster continued, "then all hell broke loose and there was a big commotion ... I'm not sure what happened but I was frightened."

Since Danity Kane was formed, rumors of an inappropriate relationship between Diddy and Aubrey have been rampant. We asked our insider whether he or she believed that Diddy was romantically involved with either girl. The source told MediaTakeOut.com, "I think that something probably happened with Aubrey but I'm not sure about Dawn." But our source added, "who knows though, they have been spending a lot of time together and [Dawn] kind of reminds me of a young Kim [Porter]."

Paris, Travis and Lindsay Hit Bungalow

Not together, of course. Paris Hilton, overjoyed at actually being able to get in this time around [read about her recent velvet rope shutdowns], showed up with huge hair and a leopard dress, a la Heatherette - looks like she came straight from the show. Travis Barker was present of course, not with Paris.. but with Paris? Maybe. They're dressed in the same outfits from their makeout video [see that now!] while they were at Marquee. Lindsay Lohan was in full hat mode, clutching what looks to be the Jalouse/Diesel party invite where she got overzealous and took the turntables by storm. [read it!], fashionable twiggy twig Victoria 'Posh' Beckham was also at the B8.. suffering what looks to be a near (or actual) wardrobe malfuncion.. Pics of the night below!

Lindsay Lohan REALLY Wants To Be A DJ

First, she gets boyfriend Harry Morton in a tizzy by flirting it up with UK celebrity DJ Sam Young in London [read it here!], and since the Lohan has landed in New York, the latest we've seen is her hitting the tables with DJ Steve Aoki at the Jalouse Magazine/Diesel fashion show afterparty at new NYC hotspot Tenjune. We do see a pattern. Our guess? She's just really into spinning. Or could she be trying to upstage partyhopping ex Wilmer Valderrama (he took a star turn as supastar DJ Keoki in one of our favorite movie evah, Party Monster)? Pics from Lindsay's night behind the tables below!

AAR's Tyson Ritter Gets Smacked With The Velvet Rope

Ultra-exclusive Bungalow 8 loves rejecting celebrities and pseudo-celebrities alike, and you all know it's hilarious when they do! Read on for the latest to get the hand at the do', pretty blue-eyed All American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter!


Tyson Ritter Gets Checked By Bungalow 8 Velvet Rope
It's bad enough when the doorman won't let you into his club, but does he have to hit you with a zinger as well? All-American Rejects front man Tyson Ritter just scored an MTV Video Music Award, but that doesn't get him into Bungalow 8. He was stopped by bouncer Armin with a posse coming from the Marc Jacobs after-party in the early hours of Tuesday morning. When someone tried to explain who Ritter was, Armin replied: "Well, if America rejected him, why should I let him in?"

Whitney Says "Bye Bye" To Bobb-ay

In a move the whole world saw coming ages ago, singer/diva Whitney Houston has filed from divorce from husband Bobby Brown. Their antics tend to exhaust us, so you can read the fully story here if you care. I mean, if you'd even seen one episode of Being Bobby Brown (and we'd be shocked if you hadn't, really.), you'd know this had been in the cards for aaaaggggeees. Well, that and Karrine "Superhead" Steffans coming out and saying she and Bobby were "special friends". Blaaaaah. At least people will actually read the Vibe "Bobby" issue that's coming out now, if not to see what Bobby had to say about his relationship with Whitney... before being served divorce papers.

Society Girls, Girls, Girls (and celebutantes!)

We've been completely slacking on Fashion Week coverage, sorry. We'll do better next year! But WE WILL post about Heatherette's (one of our favorite desiiigners) 2007 showing - the models were certainly something to talk about. Paris Hilton opened the show, in a somewhat successful attempt at staging a comeback following a string of recent faux pas' (click her link under categories for all recent stories!). Other absolutely necessary mentionable(s) in the show were Paris' sister, designer Nicky Hilton, our favorite socialites Tinsley Mortimer and Lydia Hearst, and musical divas we adooore, Kelis and Mya. Actress Mena Suvari, looking adorable, also took a stroll down the 'walk. All of our haute models were upstaged by Miss Amanda Lepore, which comes as a surprise to no one - she is FAB! Look below for images of our ladies, as well as the grande finales with the perpetually roller skating Richie Rich and Traver Rains, designers of Heatherette.




Blind Item... Could It Be He Who Bringeth Sexy Back?

Random blind item....
WHICH beleaguered singer has had a lavish album launch party cancelled by his label after a run of bad press? The powers that be have decided there isn't much to celebrate at the moment.
We heard JT's album launch party was supposed to go on tonight, but then there are also reports of his being 'completely wasted' on Letterman. Who knows?

In other news, Lindsay Lohan continues to party and ignore boytoy Harry Morton...
ANOTHER night, another party for actress Lindsay Lohan. While Jay Kay was busy brawling outside Soho's swish Kabaret's Prophecy nightclub, La Lohan was inside knocking back the vodkas. We're told the 19-year-old star swapped numbers with one of 50 Cent's G-Unit and lothario Calum Best - while ignoring her boyfriend Harry Morton. One clubber tells us: "Lindsay and Harry barely talked all night, she was busy dancing with other blokes and even gave her number out twice. "At one stage she demanded that the men's toilets be closed off for her because she didn't like the ladies. But all was OK by the end of the night as she and Harry left together."
