Lindsay Lohan Rocks Fake Engagement Ring at Halloween Party, Continues to Be Ridiculous

The beloved 2004 comedy Mean Girls featured a memorable voice-over about the great lengths that some women will go to make themselves the center of attention on Halloween. Lindsay Lohan was in that movie, but she probably can’t remember her middle name most of the time, so it’s not surprising that she didn’t learn anything from her own dialogue. Lindsay showed up to a Halloween party in London dressed in the most ridiculous costume she could imagine. That’s right – she went as Engaged Lindsay Lohan and rocked a giant diamond on her left ring-finger. “She has lost her mind,” a source close to the actress told Page Six. “She did it as a joke for her friends and wanted to see what people would do or say.” Haha, it’s a joke, guys! Just like all those other times Lindsay tried to make us think she was engaged !  Seriously though, Lindsay’s bids for publicity have been getting more and more desperate lately, and we’re beginning to worry that she’s actually serious about running for president in 2020 . Clearly, she’s bonkers enough to think she really has a chance, and her social media posts have slowly been more political than ever lately. Granted, Lindsay is still expressing her fondness for Columbian drug lords  on Instagram, so she’s a little confused when it comes to foreign policy, but so are a lot of other candidates. Anyway, Lindsay is not engaged, she’s probably not even dating anyone, and she showed up to a party in the most unoriginal costume imaginable (“The hardcore girls just wear lingerie and some form of animal ears.”) hoping everyone would be all, “OMG, we love your fiance’s Invisible Man costume!” We’re starting to think the blood trickling from the corner of her mouth might not be fake.

Lamar Odom: Begging For Drugs in Hospital?

Prior to the overdose that nearly cost him his life earlier this month, Lamar Odom had struggled with substance for years. Now that he’s on the mend, Khloe Kardashian has agreed to give their marriage a second chance on the condition that Odom never use drugs again . Now, it looks like Lamar might already be doing his best to break that promise. There’s been good news and bad news regarding Odom’s condition today, as it was confirmed this morning that Odom is off of dialysis , out of the ICU, and able to communicate with hospital staff. The bad news is that according to Radar Online, Odom’s improved communication abilities have led to some troubling requests from doctors: “Lamar was moved out of ICU earlier this week because of the progress that has been made. He is no longer on dialysis,” says one insider.  “But there are concerns because Lamar has been asking for copious amounts of pain medication, including Oxycontin. “It’s a dilemma for the doctors because the pain has to be treated. But with Lamar’s history of substance abuse, they are trying to give him other pain medications that aren’t as powerful. However, Lamar complains that it’s not strong enough.” Opiates were among the drugs found in Lamar’s system after his overdose, so it’s not surprising that doctors are hesitant to prescribe Odom anything that could land him back at square one in terms of his addiction. Adding to the medical staff’s concerns are the reports that Odom was visited by his drug dealer earlier this week. View Slideshow: Lamar Odom: A Timeline of Tragedy

Ryan Leaf Arrested for Second Time in Three Days

Ryan Leaf is in major trouble with the law. Again. Just two days after being arrested for stealing prescription pain medication , the former number-two overall draft pick was booked this morning in Montana on new counts of burglary, theft and criminal possession of dangerous drugs. The latest arrest is “based on a burglary that happened yesterday afternoon after he bailed out,” Central Montana Drug Task Force Commander Chris Hickman told reporters today. Leaf – who had been scheduled for a hearing in court today based on Friday’s charges, which were based on the discovery of 28 Oxycodone pills in his pickup truck and the testimony from an acquaintance that Leaf broke into his residence to acquire them – is also in violation of his probation (stemming from a 2009 arrest) and cannot be released from jail at the moment. The former quarterback was a standout at Washington University and was drafted second (behind Peyton Manning) by the San Diego Chargers in 1998. He never came close to fulfilling his promise and was out of the league by 2001.

Alex O’Loughlin to Enter Rehab, Take Absence from Hawaii Five-0

Hawaii Five-0 will be without its leading man for the foreseeable future. A rep for Alex O’Loughlin confirms that the actor will take an absence from the hit CBS drama “to receive supervised treatment for prescription pain medication due to a recent shoulder injury.” It’s unknown for how long the star will be gone. The series has shot 19 episodes so far and plans to complete its season two order, with or without O’Loughlin. It’s too early to know how it might write out his character, Detective Steve McGarrett, if it comes to that. “We respect and support Alex’s decision,” CBS Studios, which produces the drama, said in a statement. “Everyone at CBS TV Studios and Hawaii Five-0 wishes him well and we look forward to his return.”
