Lindsay Lohan Feels D.A. is "Out to Get Her"

Lindsay Lohan is never at fault. She’s just an easy target . So says Lindsay Lohan . The alleged jewelry bandit is complaining to friends and family that members of the District Attorney’s office are “out to get me” and using her to get elected. Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers, who oversees Lindsay’s probation DUI case, will likely a the felony grand theft complaint against the star this week. The charge relates to the allegation that Lohan stole a $2,500 necklace from a jewelry store in Venice, Calif., which she claims was merely loaned to her . Lindsay’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, the hardest working woman in L.A., met with Meyers on Monday, and the result was another day of freedom. Lohan was believed to be facing arrest yesterday, then today. But now “Lindsay’s fate won’t be decided for at least a day or more,” one source said. “As of right now, the case is still under review.” Holley has been out of town for business, and it’s unlikely that Myers would charge Lindsay with was out of town. She supposedly returns this evening. Meyers disputed Lindsay’s assertion that she’s being targeted , saying: “The D.A.’s Office has been fair and compassionate in prosecuting Ms. Lohan.” “The same fairness and justice will be applied in determining whether or not to file charges in the present manner. I think her lawyer would agree with this statement. I believe justice was administered fairly and equitably.” Meyers is running for District Attorney of Los Angeles, but before Lindsay jumps to conspiracy theories against her, she needs a geography lesson. “Because of where the crime took place, it falls under Meyers’ jurisdiction,” but wouldn’t if the theft took place in the Valley or Malibu, reports say. “Lindsay has no idea the amount of trouble she is in now. The surveillance video is going to be the strongest evidence against her,” the source adds. Nor will returning it help her. “Just because the necklace was returned to cops, and the warrant wasn’t executed didn’t compromise the case.” Another reason to worry: “Meyers doesn’t mess around when it comes to felony charges, and she’s unimpressed with Lindsay’s celebrity status.” Once Lindsay is charged with felony grand theft, she will have to formally surrender, and an arraignment date set. Look for that by week’s end.

Brody Jenner to Joe Francis: Sorry Man!

Brody Jenner is not only retracting his allegation that Joe Francis beat up Jayde Nicole (Brody’s then-girlfriend), he’s apologizing to his former enemy. He’s obligated to, of course, as part of the settlement to their legal war over an incident that took place between the three of them in August 2009. Jayde Nicole said Francis pulled her hair and punched her in the face in a wild nightclub melee that ended with a chivalrous Jenner getting tasered. Bromance means being able to own up to it when you’re wrong. Their stories varied, but Joe was too close to his ex (and Jayde’s BFF) Abbey Wilson for the couple’s liking. Jayde sued the Girls Gone Wild founder. That’s all water under the bridge now. Brody and Jayde split last December, and after settling with Francis, he writes as part of this public apology: “I would like to acknowledge for the record that media reports that you beat up Jayde Nicole that night … were completely inaccurate.” Now with Avril Lavigne, Brody adds: “I have always known you to be a gentleman and I’m very sorry that you were wrongly accused that night.” And the always-polite Brody Jenner even ends by writing, “Please accept my congratulations and best wishes on your recent marriage.” Joe married Christina McLarty last month. We’re guessing Brody wasn’t invited to the wedding, but at least they’ve buried the hatchet.

Barnicle: Christine Can’t Win Cause She’s ‘Crazy’

The trashing of Christine O’Donnell continues.  Two days after Karl Rove took to the air to scald his party’s newly-nominated candidate, Mike Barnicle has declared that O’Donnell won’t win because she’s not merely “different,” but “crazy.” On today’s Morning Joe, the former Boston Globe columnist fumbled and fumfered when asked to back up his allegation with facts.  And speaking of facts, Barnicle had his badly wrong when it came to the number of votes O’Donnell won in the primary.  But that didn’t stop him from slurring the Delaware Republican. Watch as Barnicle goes into stutter mode when asked to support his assertion. Note: Barnicle claimed O’Donnell had garnered “only 24,000 votes” in the Delaware primary election.  Hey, he was only off by a factor of 25%+ .  Not bad for the MSM. PAT BUCHANAN: We are now 24, 48 hours later. She has had a sensational kick-off.  She’s controversial; all these people are rushing to her defense because she’s sort of been martyred by Rove and the neo-cons. There’s an enormous boost here: you’ve only got seven weeks left in the campaign! MIKE BARNICLE: Here’s her [problem] — JOE SCARBOROUGH: You say “martyred.”  Rove didn’t martyr her: he told the truth about her history. BARNICLE: Here’s her problem. BUCHANAN:  Look: I know a lot of truths about Republicans. Why would I go on the air now and start trashing them? MIKA BRZEZINSKI: Umm, so that better ones emerge? BARNICLE: A. She only got 24,000 votes. All right?  She got very few votes in a very small turn-out Republican primary. The other problem, the larger problem she has, I would submit, is this: that “different” this year, for a candidate, is good.  People are looking for “different” this year.  “Crazy” is not good. MARK HALPERIN: She’s not coming across as crazy. BUCHANAN: Crazy? HALPERIN: I’m not so sure. BARNICLE: She will.  She will.  She will because of uh, eh, uh, eh.  It’s just my —

Jesse James Alleges Death Threat From Ex-Wife

The chilling Mel Gibson tape , in which he berates ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, is apparently not the only celebrity death threat alleged this afternoon. Jesse James’ ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder, threatened to kill him in the past, according to what his lawyer just told the judge in their nasty custody battle. Fighting for custody of daughter Sunny, James personally has been testifying on the stand this morning, but hasn’t mentioned the allegation … so far. The motorcycle guru bought a house in Austin, Texas, and wants to take Sunny there so she can be closer to his most recent ex-wife, Sandra Bullock. Ex-wife #2 is far from pleased about that proposed plan. At least Jesse James and Sandra Bullock split amicably and quietly. He and his ex-wife are at each other’s throats in court, and it’s getting uglier every day . Over nearly five years of marriage, Bullock developed a close relationship with Sunny and his two older kids before his cheating led to their divorce. Lindemulder, who just got out of a halfway house and can’t leave the state of California, filed documents trying to stop the planned move by James. Janine says the Sandra Bullock excuse doesn’t hold water because if she really cared about Jesse’s children … she would have stayed in California. We’ll see what a judge has to say about that, but we know James has alleged on many previous occasions that unstable Janine is a threat to Sunny . A big enough threat to bar her from all contact? Stay tuned.

WikiLeaks Founder Has Garani Massacre Video, According to New Email

Julian Assange, who the Feds fear may release State Dept. secrets, denies having them—but he’s readying video of a deadly U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan. After several days underground, the founder of the secretive website WikiLeaks has gone public to disclose that he is preparing to release a classified Pentagon video of a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan last year that left as many as 140 civilians dead, most of them children and teenagers. In an email obtained by The Daily Beast that was sent to WikiLeaks supporters in the United States Tuesday, Julian Assange, the website’s Australian-born founder, also defends a 22-year-old Army intelligence specialist who is now under arrest in Kuwait on charges that he leaked classified Pentagon combat videos, as well as 260,000 State Department cables, to WikiLeaks. “Mr. Manning allegedly also sent us 260,000 classified US Department cables, reporting on the actions of US Embassy’s [sic] engaging in abusive actions all over the world,” Assange said in an email. “We have denied the allegation, but the US government is acting as if the allegation is true.” American officials have said they are eager to determine the whereabouts of Assange, who canceled an appearance last Friday in Las Vegas, to discourage him from releasing any more classified information on his website, which is nominally based in Sweden and promotes itself as a global resource for whistleblowers. As recently as two weeks ago, Assange, who first gained global notoriety as a computer hacker, was in his native Australia. In April, his website posted a copy of a classified Pentagon video of a 2007 American helicopter attack in Baghdad in which a dozen people were killed; that video is also believed to have been leaked by the Army intelligence analyst, Specialist Bradley Manning of Potomac, Maryland. While denying again that WikiLeaks has the State Department cables, Assange acknowledges in the email today that he is in custody of the May 2009 video that shows the airstrike on the Afghan village of Garani, believed to be the most lethal combat strike in Afghanistan—in terms of civilian deaths—since the United States invaded the country in 2001. Assange writes that “we are still working on” preparations for release of the video of “the Garani massacre.” (more @ link) added by: Omnomynous

Al Gore Accused of Affair with Laurie David

Have former Vice President Al Gore and Laurie David, ex-wife of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David, been having an affair for the last two years? That’s the allegation of a prominent celebrity gossip tabloid. Al Gore split from wife Tipper after 40 years of marriage earlier this month, news that shocked to a public who largely viewed the Gore union as an ideal marriage. There were very few details, rumored or confirmed, about the nature of the split. Until today, when Star said that Al Gore and Laurie David are sleeping together. Tipper and Al Gore with Larry and Laurie David . Al has supposedly been having an affair with Laurie, who divorced Larry David in 2007 amid reports she slept with the caretaker of their Martha’s Vineyard home. No additional information, such as whether Tipper found out about the split, or whether it’s actually true, is available at this time. But an insider did tell Star: “Al and Laurie went from friends to lovers. It couldn’t be avoided.” Really, Star insider? It was inevitable? There was no deliberation at all? Michelle McGee would agree with that take. Al’s just doing what guys do, right? Yeesh.
