Lindsay Lohan: Home For the Holidays?

Lindsay Lohan’s family wants her back on Long Island for the holiday season, but that’s not her call, and we’d bet on her staying right here in SoCal. “Judge Elden Fox was very clear with his order that he wanted her to stay in rehab until New Year’s,” says a close source. It was true on Thanksgiving. The star has excelled in her sober living facility, earning passes to leave for shopping excursions and visits to her L.A. pad. But flying home to Dina’s? CHRISTMAS IN CALI : Don’t expect Lindsay to hop a flight for JFK, despite what Dina might wish for her baby girl. [Photo: Pacific Coast News] The holidays can be a cause for concern , says a family source, but it might actually be good for the actress to be around her parents in one way or another: “All of the angst, forced familial time, dealing with recovery. Mix in parents that don’t get along and Lindsay is going to be tested, and that isn’t a bad thing.” Lindsay and her treatment team are confident that the actress will be able to get through the holiday season without any setbacks, insiders have said. While they want Dina and her siblings to come to California for Christmas, lingering tension between family members may throw a wrench into that plan. “Dina hasn’t agreed to be anywhere under the same roof with Michael ,” the source said. “Lindsay’s counselors recognize that family is very important.” “They are really hoping to get the entire family under one roof for some much needed family therapy. Michael has agreed. So far, nothing from Dina.” Lindsay could earn a pass to spend Christmas Eve or Christmas Day out of the sober living facility if she gets the green light from her treatment team. The actress has impressed her doctors and others by focusing her efforts toward helping the less fortunate, our source said, which is a great sign. Lindsay Lohan “recognizes how blessed she is to be given this amazing opportunity to get and stay sober.” Keep up the good fight, girl. Keep at it.

Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez: The Wedding Plans

Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez are serious about getting married. So much so, the engaged Bachelorette couple almost did it quickie-style in Vegas! They decided against it, but only because they want a real wedding. After the twosome watched Jason and Molly Mesnick renew their vows, “I was like, ‘Maybe we should just go with them and get married,” Ali revealed. But “that probably would have upset a lot of people” so the pair, who plan to spend Christmas in Tampa with his family, are focusing on plans for a 2011 affair. Said Ali Fedotowsky , “I’ve been looking at wedding things and I’m always like, ‘That looks tacky. Maybe it’s just the ones I’ve seen are really matchy, matchy.” “I want to make it a little different. Very light and air, I guess, is my theme.” One thing that is set: her bridal party, who will likely wear yellow dresses as they walk down the aisle. “My sister, his sister definitely,” said Ali Fedotowsky. “I have a couple good friends in my life. I definitely have some in mind.” While Fedotowsky has said she’s eyeing Monique Lhuillier to design her gown, she swears she hasn’t lost the tomboy edge that enhances her appeal. “I definitely need comfortable shoes,” she said. “That’s the most important.” Will Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez last?

New York Times Style Mag ‘T’ Treats Wikileaker Julian Assange As Pop Icon, a Santa Claus of Information

This Christmas, give the gift of…secret diplomatic cables? There were several surprisingly slanted articles in the Holiday edition of “T,” the New York Times style magazine published 15 Sundays a year and put together by writers and reporters from outside the paper. Most newsworthy (if almost as shallow as the other pieces) was British writer Misha Glenny’s profile of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange ( arrested in a sex inquiry in London Tuesday morning ), presenting his damaging, illegal leaks of secret diplomatic cables as a Christmas gift, treating the controversial figure as just another one of the hip icons celebrated in T Magazine in a story with the galling title “ The Gift of Information .” read more

Arthur Christmas Trailer Would Like You to Start Thinking About Next Christmas

Just as excitement and anxiety for the upcoming holiday approaches its peak, here comes Hollywood with a reminder of the rapidly approaching Christmas 2011. Thanks guys! The teaser for Arthur Christmas plays out like most other recent CGI animation teasers; that is, it’s more of a short film featuring the characters rather than a preview with any footage from the film. But hey, it finds a way to play off everyone’s current fascination with UFO s, which is something. I guess.

FBI’s agent provacatuer reported to the FBI by alarmed mosque-goers

FAKE TERRORISM EXPOSED! Informant: FBI operative Craig Monteilh was sent to spy on Muslims but was thrown out and reported to his handlers for extremist behavior. “This is Farouk al-Aziz, code name Oracle,” he said into the keys as he sat in his parked car in this quiet community south of Los Angeles. “It's November 13th, 4:30 a.m. And we're hot.” The undercover FBI informant – a convicted forger named Craig Monteilh – then drove off for 5 a.m. prayers at the Islamic Center of Irvine, where he says he spied on dozens of worshipers in a quest for potential terrorists. Since the 2001 terrorist attacks, the FBI has used informants successfully as one of many tactics to prevent another strike in the United States. Agency officials say they are careful not to violate civil liberties and do not target Muslims. But the FBI's approach has come under fire from some Muslims, criticism that surfaced again late last month after agents arrested an Oregon man they said tried to detonate a bomb at a Christmas tree-lighting ceremony. FBI technicians had supplied the device. In the Irvine case, Monteilh's mission as an informant backfired. Muslims were so alarmed by his talk of violent jihad that they obtained a restraining order against him. He had helped build a terrorism-related case against a mosque member, but that also collapsed. The Justice Department recently took the extraordinary step of dropping charges against the worshiper, who Monteilh had caught on tape agreeing to blow up buildings, law enforcement officials said. Prosecutors had portrayed the man as a dire threat. Compounding the damage, Monteilh has gone public, revealing secret FBI methods and charging that his “handlers” trained him to entrap Muslims as he infiltrated their mosques, homes and businesses. He is now suing the FBI. added by: maasanova

“Obama’s Net Neutrality”: An Ominous Threat to Our Rights and Free Speech.

It appears that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with the blessings of the Obama Administration will seek to impose “net neutrality” policies using the Thanksgiving and Christmas recesses when Congress is out of session to facilitate this. Encouraged by the far left and aided with financial assistance from George Soros, this change will provide the federal government with much greater control of various aspects of the internet as opposed to the companies that spent billions of dollars constructing and operating the networks and fiberoptic lines. “Net neutrality” is a euphemism for legislated government control of internet communications with the pernicious ability to affect free speech. This legislation has been fervently supported by progressives in order to have the ability to silence conservatives and the opposition who use this avenue such as Fox New, Rush Limbaugh, etc. This is another attack on our rights and freedoms that is supported by the Obama Administration, progressives and communists and funded in part by Soros. http://www.saveyourrights.com/category/freedom-of-speech/ added by: congoboy
