The Lindsay Lohan Bad Excuse Hall of Fame

We know she lives in denial, but this one is an all-timer. Lindsay Lohan’s excuse, as relayed by her mother Dina, for her SCRAM ankle monitor shockingly going off Sunday at an MTV Movie Awards after-party? “Somebody spilled a drink on her leg , which must have set off the SCRAM bracelet,” Dina told the N.Y. Post . Right. ‘Cause that’s totally how it works. The device measures perspiration in the skin, not alcohol specifically. Even if someone did spill a drink on her leg, how would it distinguish the liquid? Hilarious. Dina adds: “She has done absolutely nothing wrong and shouldn’t have to wear the bracelet in the first place. She is doing absolutely fine.” Okay, Dina. NOTE: A judge ordered her to wear it after she failed to appear in court for probation hearings stemming from her two DUI convictions . Amazingly, this is up there with her best/worst excuses we’ve heard in recent memory, but this is Lindsay Lohan. It’s got legitimate competition for the #1 spot. Here’s a look at some other tall tales she’s told (via E! Online ): 1. The black guy did it : In the 2007 incident she’s still in hot water for, Linds tried to pin her drunk Pacific Coast Highway joyride on her assistant’s pal Dante. 2. Pants on fire : After she claimed “the black kid” was driving that night, cops found cocaine on her. Oh, she borrowed those jeans from a friend! That bitch! 3. Fearing for her life : Lindsay has blamed her reckless (substance-abusing) driving on the fact that cameras follow her every move. She was scared, okay??! 4. Dog ate my passport : Despite a looming court date, Lohan still went yacht hopping in France, missed her flight back, then said someone stole her passport . 5. It was a set up : While in Cannes, a photo surfaced of LiLo and a plate of cocaine. What?! No, those were just fans staging the cocaine pic to sabotage her. Mmm hmm . At this point, Pinocchio couldn’t front on this lunatic.

Dina Manzo to The Real Housewives of New Jersey: I’m Outta Here!

A new Danielle Staub sex tape may be creating the most online buzz around The Real Housewives of New Jersey , but it’s a Danielle Staub tirade that has reportedly led to the exit of a show cast member. Multiple sources confirm that Dina Manzo will quit the series after next week’s episode, a decision that was hyped in a recent Bravo promo that teased one of the Housewives will be “leaving forever.” Danielle and Dina have clashed throughout the season, but Zap2It reports it was the former’s behavior at a recent charity benefit that truly opened up Manzo’s eyes to the self-absorbed lunatics with whom she was sharing the screen. Referring to Staub’s outburst at the event (read about it HERE ), Manzo said: “For her to make a mockery of it was extra upsetting as a cast member. It was really the last straw for me.” Away from the cameras, Dina runs Project Ladybug, an organization for children with life-threatening illnesses. Manzo says she was “a thousand percent” against Bravo filming the aforementioned charity gala. The reason? “I take this very, very seriously. I am so exhausted at the end of the day and I don’t make a penny for Ladybug.” Of course, Bravo would only make the following statement in regard to this rumor: “While there is a lot of speculation about who, if anyone, is leaving the cast – viewers will have to tune in on Monday night to find out the truth.” Okay, fine. We’ll do so. But only to give Dina a standing ovation when she walks away from the spoiled nuts jobs that surround her.
