Lindsay Lohan — I’m Staying Clean … FOR LIFE
Lindsay Lohan plans to stay on the straight and narrow for the REST OF HER LIFE — telling friends, she’s serious this time … no drugs, no booze, no breaking the law … ever again … PERIOD.
Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ, the actress had an epiphany after her sentencing — and is completely at peace with the judge’s decision … community service, fines, counseling, shoplifters alternative class … the whole package.
Technically, Lindsay is REQUIRED to stay sober during her formal probation — which ends after she completes her 480 hours of community service — but we’re told, it doesn’t matter … Lindsay’s committed to sobriety for the long haul.
One thing … Lindsay does take issue with the three-year probation itself — telling friends she doesn’t think she deserves it — but que sera sera … she has learned to accept her fate.
Bottom line — her friends are adamant … Lindsay has learned her lesson once and for all.

Why Bell Thinks Vampires R “sexy”
by Alice on May.15, 2011, under Actress
Kristen Stewart thinks vampires are “sexy”
The 21-year-old-actress plays Bella Swan in the ‘Twilight: Saga’ movies and she can understand why her character would fall in love with blood-sucker Edward Cullen – who is portrayed by her real-life boyfriend Robert Pattinson in the film series.
She said: “Vampires are very sexy. I think it’s because they’re meant to draw you in just to the point where they can then kill you. It’s like a forbidden fruit. If it’s something you can’t have, then naturally you just want it more. Maybe that’s why I was drawn to the role of Bella in ‘Twilight’.”
Although she can recognise the erotic qualities of the mythical creatures, Kristen wouldn’t be happy to be confronted by a vampire in real life.
She added: “I wouldn’t like to be confronted by a real vampire, though, as they can read your mind!”

by Kavy on May.14, 2011, under Artist
Katy Perry and Russell Brand have put their Los Angeles home up for sale for $3.395 million
The married couple have decided to put the luxury property on the market after living there sporadically for just two years.
The 1922 Mediterranean-style house comes complete with four bedrooms, a three-car garage, swimming pool, huge living area, modern kitchen and incredible views of the city.
However, some features are not included in the sale such as a 25ft ‘love tepee’ which Russell had installed for him and his pop star wife, and a vintage pink refrigerator which Katy bought for the kitchen.
It is believed the couple have decided to sell the property because they want to make their New York apartment – which they purchased for $2.7 million last year – their main home.
The lovebirds are currently apart as Russell is shooting his next movie, the big screen version of acclaimed musical ‘Rock of Ages’, in Miami, while Katy is in New Zealand on the latest leg of her ‘California Dreams’ world tour.
Despite her hectic work schedule the ‘Firework’ singer recently revealed her husband is her “number one priority”.
The 26-year-old pop star – who married the 35-year-old British comedian in India last October said: “My husband is my number one priority. We have an amazing relationship.
“It’s important that I’m not always rushing around everywhere too much. I have to take the time to live life and have experiences.”

Sheridan: Cherry Says Parker Was Gay to Marry Eva
Nicollette Sheridan claims “Desperate Housewives” creator Marc Cherry committed the ultimate wedding faux pas — claiming Tony Parker must have been into boys as he said “I do” to Eva.
TMZ obtained Nicollette’s declaration in the brutal legal fight she’s having with Cherry over her firing on the show.
In the declaration, Nicollette claims, “I was present at Eva Longoria’s wedding to Tony Parker, when Mr. Cherry commented that ‘Tony must like boys, because he is marrying this — this little, small girl with no t*ts and — that looks like a boy.’”
For the record, he couldn’t be that gay because he divorced her. Kidding.

Britney Spears — Y’all Wanna Drive My Car?
Britney Spears’ famous black Mercedes — once known as the most dangerous car in L.A. — will soon be displayed in a Chicago auto museum … and TMZ has learned the people behind the exhibit are letting one lucky fan get behind the wheel.
Britney has one hell of a history in the 2008 Mercedes Benz SLK 320 — she blew through red lights, wreaked havoc at all hours of the night and smashed into another car in a parking lot … for which she was later arrested on a hit-and-run charge.
Now, the car is set to go on display at the Volo Auto Museum just outside of Chicago on June 26 … the same day the museum will hold a drawing to let one lucky Britney fan drive the car around town for a day …
… as long as the winner agrees to obey all traffic laws.

The ‘Twilight’ star appeared in the movie ‘Panic Room’ when she was just 12 and she admits the double-Oscar winner has had a huge influence on her career.

Kristen’s influences don’t only come from her professional peers, she also is a huge music fan and admits her favourite artists have had an effect on her.
She added: “I’m a bit of an old soul when it comes to my musical tastes. My all-time favourite song is ‘Madame George’ by Van Morrison. That song never gets old to me. There’s something comforting and raw about it.”

White House Contacts Bieber — Can You Help Us Out?
Turns out Obama has some pull after all … because TMZ has learned Justin Bieber has AGREED to help the President come through on a promise he made to a teenage girl last week.
Sources connected to the most powerful man on the planet — Justin Bieber — tell us the singer was contacted by the White House on the SAME DAY Barack met with a 14-year-old Bieber fan whose father was killed in the 9/11 attacks.
Obama famously told the girl he “knows Justin” and could arrange for her to meet him — but certain media outlets called BS on the promise and predicted Barack would never be able to deliver.
However, sources extremely plugged in to the situation tell us Bieber was super-excited about getting the call — and told the White House he will DEFINITELY meet the girl when he returns to the U.S. and can get back to the East Coast.
So far, no date has been set.

Von Ahole SLASHES PRICE On Bev Hills Mansion
Zsa Zsa Gabor’s Beverly Hills mansion is not selling the way Prince von Ahole expected — so he’s chopping the price by a whopping 12 MILLION BUCKS in the hopes of closing a deal ASAP.
TMZ spoke with Prince who tells us he met with his real estate agent yesterday — and they decided the best way to move the property quickly is by reducing the asking price from $28 mil to $16 mil.
Prince tells us, “I vant to sell it faster so Zsa Zsa can be in a newer, safer place once she gets out of zee hospital.”
As we previously reported, the couple put the house on the market earlier this year — because they feel the house is too big and want to move to a smaller place.
Prince says the fact Elvis once lived in the home AND it was built by Howard Hughes in the 50’s should boost interest in the place … but he’s keeping his fingers crossed.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are to be sued by a former employee
The unnamed woman – who worked as a bilingual secretary at their Miraval chateau in the South of France – was dismissed by a manager at the estate while on sick leave on the grounds her absence impacted on the running of the property and is seeking 80,000 Euros in compensation for unfair dismissal.
Lawyer Emmanuel Ludot said: “It’s a drop in the ocean for these stars.
“She has nothing against them personally and says she was always treated well. But they did not step in to prevent her being dismissed.
“Mr. Brad Pitt, who is also famous for his charity work and adoption of children, should understand that my client needs compensation as soon as possible, and that she’s not asking for millions, just a fair amount for unfair dismissal.
“We hope they will both be faithful to their reputation for humanitarian causes.”
The woman has remained anonymous due to confidentiality clauses in the contract she signed before being employed.
The lawyer said he has deliberately announced the matter now because the couple – Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, and six-year-old Zahara, as well as biological kids Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne – are currently in France for the annual Cannes film festival.
A labour tribunal in Draguignan will rule on the case next month.

Jennifer Aniston may appear topless in her new movie
The former ‘Friends’ actress has reportedly shot raunchy scenes for comedy ‘Horrible Bosses’ in which her breasts are on show but producers are still undecided as to whether to include them in the final cut.
A source told UsMagazine.com: “She shot a topless scene, but producers aren’t sure if they’ll use it. They filmed it two ways in one, you see Jen’s face and boobs in the same shot. In another, the audience might think it’s a body double.”
Insiders claim 42-year-old Jennifer – who plays a dentist who sexually harasses a male employee – was keen to do the topless scenes.
One said: “She knows she can’t show off her boobs forever, so she’s going out with a bang!”
Jennifer – who is famed for her straight-laced image – wants to play up to her “sexuality” so the film’s posters will also be quite racy.

Celebrity Herpes Lawsuit Triggers Sex Tape Frenzy
TMZ has learned … the person who is suing an internationally famous celebrity for intentionally transmitting herpes has multiple videos of the sex acts that allegedly transmitted the disease — and now there’s a bidding war for the tapes.
TMZ broke the story … an unnamed plaintiff has sued “an A-list celebrity of substantial fame internationally,” claiming the celeb came on to the plaintiff in Las Vegas and swore he was STD free.
The suit claims the celeb actually had herpes, and the pair engaged in “mutual oral copulation, mutual self-gratification, rubbing and massaging each other, play-wrestling, licking and (unprotected) intercourse.”
The plaintiff — who is unnamed and unidentified as either a man or woman — claims the celeb transmitted the herpes virus and wants more than $20 mil in damages.
Now we’ve learned … since we broke the story … several porn companies have already offered the plaintiff — through the lawyer, Keith Davidson, a fortune. Youporn.com has offered a cool $1 million, sight unseen, while another company is offering even more.
And get this … a prominent niche website is also willing to ante up beaucoup bucks — specifically to entice “bug chasers” to watch. For the uninformed, “bug chasing” is the act of knowingly engaging in sex with someone who has an STD.
Finally … as for why these alleged Las Vegas sex acts were videotaped, the lawsuit claims, “as the [celebrity] expressed, so they could relive the magic over — and over — again.”

TapouT Honchos — Yes, We Distributed Mask’s Ashes
The two men who run the MMA clothing line TapouT admit they DID distribute a “very small amount” of Charles “Mask” Lewis’ cremated remains to his close friends … and they stand by their actions.
TMZ spoke to the attorney representing Punkass and SkySkrape … who tells us the men feel there is “nothing wrong with dividing up a loved one’s ashes” and giving them to loved ones … despite the fact Mask’s sister claims they had no legal right to do so.
We broke the story, Carla Lewis filed a lawsuit against Punkass and SkySkrape saying they gave away 50 to 100 vials containing Mask’s ashes at a public memorial service in 2009.
Carla — who claims she is the only person with the legal power to control the ashes — alleges the men have kept a significant amount of Mask’s ashes in their possession for years, and have refused to give them back to Mask’s estate.
Now, in light of the lawsuit, P and S have agreed to RETURN the remaining ashes … but they are adamant they have done NOTHING wrong. In fact, the men say Mask was estranged from his sister when he died in 2009 and “his close circle of friends had become his family.”
The men both insist the lawsuit is purely about money — but they’re happy to give the ashes back to the estate so Mask’s two young children can eventually inherit their father’s remains.
