Lindsay Lohan’s former assistant Gavin Doyle was issued a subpoena to testify at her probation violation trial, which is not exactly good news for the star. It was Doyle, after all, who revealed to cops that Lindsay Lohan herself was driving the Porsche that crashed on the Pacific Coast Highway back in June. Lohan reportedly lied to police and said Doyle was driving, and was thus charged with willfully resisting, obstruction, and providing false information. And reckless driving, for good measure. Lohan is still on probation for her misdemeanor jewelry theft conviction at the time of the accident, making the allegations against her a very big deal. The Los Angeles City Attorney moved to revoke Lohan’s probation in December, which could mean eight months in jail – for just the probation violation. If she were to be convicted of lying to police and obstruction as well, that could conceivably tack on more time. Long story short … she could be effed. Lindsay’s next hearing is scheduled for March 1, and Doyle is expected to testify sometime in the next two months. It’s not looking great for the actress. She’s pulled many a rabbit out of her legal hat before, yes, but in this case, she’s got her back pinned against the wall, and not in the sexy kind of way. Lindsay Lohan: Will she do time in 2013? Yes. Her luck is running out and she’s going crazy! No! She always finds a way to get out of it! View Poll »
It was the private plane loan heard ’round the world. After Lindsey Vonn suffered major injuries and was airlifted to a hospital at the Alpine World Championships in Austria, she got a lift from Tiger Woods. Walking on crutches after tearing two ligaments in her right knee and fracturing her shin, the skier hopped aboard the golf legend’s private jet. Is was a clear sign that the rumors of Tiger Woods and Lindsey Vonn dating are true, and now sources close to the pair are confirming it as well. Says one close source: “Tiger and Lindsey have been friends for a while, and nothing started out romantically at all. But they really have a lot in common and got closer and closer.” “He still refers to her as ‘my very good friend,’ but he’s been spending more and more time thinking about her, and talking to her, and talking about her.” Last month, Vonn’s reps tried to deflect the rumors , saying her “focus is solely on competing and on defending her titles” but offering no denials. But another source says Tiger Woods, 37, and Lindsey Vonn, 28, talk and text frequently and while they’re taking it slow, it’s definitely romantic: “Tiger really does want a woman who he can have good conversations with. He wants shared interests and outlooks. He is finding that with [Lindsey].” Woods, of course, made international headlines in 2009 when he was linked to dozens of women while still married to his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren. Since then, he has dated sporadically, and struggled to find his golf game as well as someone who wanted a relationship for the right reasons. “She’s not freaked out by his past,” says the source. “That really appeals to him. He really does deserve to be happy. He has been flogging himself for three years, and it’s good to see him moving forward.” Presumably the source means metaphorically. In any case, Woods has been feeling it on the golf course lately, so 2013 could mark quite the personal and professional turnaround for Tiger. Especially with Lindsey on the shelf and recovering from her crash for the better part of the year. More quality time with her man … just saying. Silver linings.
Needless to say this was not Chris Brown’s week. The star was involved in a car crash Saturday afternoon and totaled his Porsche, but thankfully was uninjured, the Beverly Hills Police Department confirms. He was alone in the car, and told officers on the scene he was being chased by paparazzi before the accident; police are looking into the matter. The R&B singer’s rep tells E! News the following: “Chris Brown was in a car accident this afternoon after being ruthlessly pursued by paparazzi.” “He was in his vehicle by himself headed to the Debbie Allen Dance Academy for a Symphonic Love Foundation event when two vehicles cut him off.” So what happened between Chris and the celebrity gossip photographers? “The occupants jumped out, with cameras, and aggressively approached his vehicle,” the rep continues, and that’s when Chris attempted to bail. “In an effort to remove himself from the situation, he began to back down an alley at which point his was cut off by two additional vehicles. He is okay.” “Chris’ vehicle was totaled due to this aggressive pursuit by the paparazzi.” Brown hit a wall, according to TMZ. No word if he will be pressing charges. It’s a fitting end to a rough week for Brown, who was accused of lying about his community service hours – which he later ranted about an Instagram: “I’m wise I can handle the hate but enough is enough yo!! I’m a human being and I honestly think I deserve respect. I’m sick of being accused.” “Just when everything seems to be going good, some new s–t happens,” Chris Brown mused. “A day in my shoes is a day in hell, believe it or not!” If it’s any consolation, Chris’ probation was NOT revoked (at least not yet), and four years ago today, he was totaling Rihanna, not just a sports car. What is it about the night before the Grammy Awards? Speaking of … Breezy and the Grammys were also zinged by Richard Marx last week.
Octomom Nadya Suleman is ringing in 2013 in style. Topless style. Making good on her pledge to take taxpayers off the hook as soon as possible after announcing she’s back on welfare again, the mother of 14 is re-deploying her assets. Nads is reportedly being paid $20,000 to do a topless strip show at T’s Lounge in West Palm Beach, Fla., the same club she was in a legal dispute with last year. T’s lined up Octomom to take it all off last year (above) as well, only to sue her for breach of contract after employees trash talked her and she bailed on the gig. Obviously. Anyway, Nadya and T’s worked out a deal last month, and under the terms, Octo will perform four shows from February 14-16, getting paid twenty grand. In return, T’s will drop its lawsuit. Sadly (or thankfully), lap dances are not on the table for patrons, so if you’re gonna have to ogle a topless Nadya Suleman from a short distance. Sorry fellas. It’s no Octomom porn .
Lindsay Lohan is not interested in any plea bargain. She’s innocent, people! Can’t you understand that? According to TMZ, despite the fact that the prosecutor in her car crash case was willing to deal and allow her to avoid jail time, she won’t plea bargain , period. The latest chapter in this bizarre saga unfolded last week, when her attorney Shawn Holley was on her way to court to negotiate a deal on her behalf. Holley was then fired unceremoniously by Lohan. Prosecutors were apparently willing to let LiLo plead no contest and agree to six months of “lockdown rehab” (read: no jail time), but the star is not interested. Holley entered a plea of not guilty and a trial date was set for this winter. Whoever reps Lindsay now (tough to keep track) could presumably still take the deal. Lohan just isn’t having it, though. As usual, the 26-year-old actress doesn’t think she did anything wrong and refuses to plead guilty or no contest to a crime she says she didn’t commit. She told cops she was a passenger in the Porsche she crashed when there’s overwhelming evidence she was driving, so proving her innocence could be tough. If Lindsay is found guilty, she could face up to 19 months in jail. That’s not including the probation violation she faces, which could subject her to eight months in jail . There’s still a possibility that she will come to her senses before trial, and/or that she will pull a legal rabbit out of her hat and beat the rap once again. She’s skating on rapidly thinning ice, however. Will Lindsay Lohan do time in ’13? Yes. Her luck is running out and she’s going crazy! No! She always finds a way to get out of it! View Poll »
Lindsay Lohan’s probation was revoked as expected this morning in court, but a decision on whether she’ll go to jail as a result will have to wait until January. Because she’s on probation for stealing jewelry, Lohan faces eight months in jail as a consequence of her recent arrests IF a judge decides that’s best. Lindsay was charged with lying to police and driving recklessly while crashing her Porsche on Pacific Coast Highway in June. That got her probation revoked today. She was also arrested recently for assaulting Tiffany Mitchell , and could face additional consequences for that. Needless to say, we don’t envy her position. It’s not a done deal yet by any means, though. Commissioner Jane Godfrey, who is overseeing the case, scheduled a January 15 hearing on the probation violation. If Godfrey decides Lindsay did violate her probation, she could face 245 days in jail. A conviction beyond reasonable doubt is not necessary to lock her up. Of course, Godfrey could also be lenient , and is said to is gravitate more toward second chances than jail, so Lindsay could totally skate yet again. Figures. Should Lindsay do hard time? Vote below : Yes, that train wreck brat will never learn otherwise! No, quit trying to make an example out of her, haters! View Poll »
Despite being a compulsive liar and having no one else to blame but herself for probably two-thirds of her problems, Lindsay Lohan remains convinced police are out to get her. Lohan, who is facing jail time for her most recent probation violation, is telling friends that the cops have a vendetta against her and will stop at nothing to bring her down. Best of all, Lindsay is STILL CLAIMING that she wasn’t driving when her Porsche slammed into a truck in June. Officials do not concur and will charge her with lying to police . LiLo claimed she was a passenger in her car, and that her assistant was the one who was actually driving and caused the Pacific Coast Highway Crash. Yet witnesses say she was in fact behind the wheel . Obviously. Lindsay is said to be “terrified” of going back to jail, especially since Judge Stephanie Sautner made it clear she would revoke her probation and send her ass back there. If she breaks the law again, that is. Sautner can revoke probation on mere suspicion – without having to wait for a conviction – of a crime, but it remains to be seen if she will. She’s tough, but fair after all. Lindsay says she’s done a good job obeying the law since her no contest plea in the jewelry heist case, which tells you a lot about her self-perception problems. Still, she plans to throw herself at the mercy of the court, supposedly, in an attempt to stay out of the pokey. What do you think: should Lindsay Lohan do hard time ? Yes, that train wreck brat will never learn otherwise! No, quit trying to make an example out of her, haters! View Poll »
Here is Kate Beckinsale at the Porsche Design’s Group 40th anniversary. Like a Porsche, Kate is slender, sleek and built to withstand the test of time. A true classic. Unfortunately, Kate is also another thing that I’ll never be able to afford to ride.
We take a look back at a hectic seven days for the actress. By James Montgomery Lindsay Lohan leaves the hospital after her car accident on June 8 Photo: If your week involved smashing a Porsche into an 18-wheeler, being linked in headlines to a porn star, and having the paramedics called to your hotel room, there’s a pretty good chance you are probably James Bond. Or Lindsay Lohan. Of course, one of those folks is fictional. The other is very much real — and just had a really crazy week. Yes, the Lind-sanity is still with us, as the actress wrapped an impressive seven-day stretch that began with a car wreck (and hospitalization), rolled right on with some salacious headlines and wrapped with some drama at the Ritz-Carlton (and a rumored hospitalization). Here’s a look back at Lindsay Lohan’s rather hectic week, one that would give any mere mortal (or secret agent) pause. But not her. Friday, June 8 : Lohan is taken to the hospital after smashing her Porsche into an 18-wheeler on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica. Luckily, she wasn’t seriously injured — though the same couldn’t be said for her vehicle, as photos showed the Porsche with a severely damaged front end, a smashed windshield and a deployed airbag. Monday, June 11 : Reports surface that Lohan may have lied to police about just who was driving the car. She had originally told responding officers she was sitting in the passenger seat, with her assistant behind the wheel, which supposedly didn’t corroborate with the story her assistant told police. Uh-oh. Tuesday, June 12 : Lohan’s name is attached to “The Canyons,” a Hollywood drama from writer Bret Easton Ellis that will also feature adult-film star James Deen. Lohan will reportedly play Tara, girlfriend to Deen’s Christian, a “trust fund kid, power player and major manipulator, who is a film producer that enjoys filming his own three-way sex sessions.” Thursday, June 14 : “The Canyons” producer Braxton Pope acknowledges Lindsay’s reputation to MTV News, saying, “What’s kind of lost in a lot of the Lindsay discussions is the fact that Lindsay is a very talented actress. She’s very charismatic and she has a lot of acting skills. So her lifestyle and some of the things that she’s gone through have tended to kind of overwhelm the fact, but Lindsay has kind of real talent. So for this part, we felt that she was really the right actor for a host of different reasons.” Friday, June 15 : A California news station erroneously reports that Lohan had been taken to the hospital after being found unconscious in a hotel room. While paramedics had been called to her penthouse at the Ritz-Carlton, they left the scene without the actress, and her reps insisted that all she was suffering from was “exhaustion and dehydration” and said Lohan was actually napping after a grueling stretch of shooting the upcoming Lifetime movie “Liz & Dick.” Related Photos The Highs And Lows Of Lindsay Lohan
