Lindsay Lohan can’t go a day of work/community service without incident. Yesterday, the L.A. County Coroner turned away a guy who was about to deliver 36 fancy cupcakes to Lohan and 35 of her closest friends at the morgue . Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter got wind of Lindsay’s move, then went to the front door and turned away the delivery guy from the local bakery. “It’s unacceptable. We’re not here to accept food,” Winter said, adding there are not even 36 people in Lindsay Lohan’s community service program. The order was placed at Magnolia Bakery by someone Lindsay knows. Lohan later admitted she was the mystery buyer who ordered 36 gourmet cupcakes (and burgers from In-N-Out) to the L.A. County Morgue Friday. She said it was simply a gesture to apologize and make good after the previous day when she was turned away after showing up late . Says her rep: “Lindsay’s well-intentioned actions were not taken in the spirit in which she intended; to say she was sorry for yesterday’s misunderstanding.” To her credit, reports say she really did feel bad about showing up late Thursday and that was her motivate for the cupcakes … but it’s still a morgue. A cupcake order probably wasn’t what Judge Stephanie Sautner had in mind when she ordered Lohan there after her mug shot was taken this week. Also to her credit, thought she didn’t act like a spoiled brat on the job. She got down on her hands and knees, which must have felt familiar by now, only she cleaned floors and toilets Friday. She also did laundry. She even socialized with other volunteers. Brings a tear to your eye … [Photo: WENN.com]

Alex Brown’s death was a tragedy and Justin Bieber, Emma Roberts, Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle team up with ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition to remember her and help the family she left behind. Volunteers showed their support for Alex Brown ’s family by pitching in and taking part in rebuilding the Brown family home. Amongst the volunteers were Justin Bieber, teen starlet Emma Roberts , NASCAR stars Carl Edwards , and Greg Biffle . It was an organized effort by ABC ’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition . Alex Brown tragically died at the age of 17 while texting and driving. The remaining family members include Jeanne, Johnny Mac, and 12 year old Katrina, who was Alex’s little sister. Katrina spoke with reporters, saying, “If Alex was here and seeing all this she would be so excited for us…She’d be like, ‘I’m so glad y’all are getting this! Y’all are doing good. Keep going.” The day Alex died, her family decided to start the Remember Alex Brown Foundation , which is dedicated to spread awareness about the dangers of texting and driving. The Brown family (all three members) visit high schools, and bring the crushed pickup truck that Alex drove the day she died. ‘Wild Child’ actress Emma Roberts explained how she was impacted through her participation, saying, “After hearing Alex’s story I just think texting and driving is really a problem…To hear that this happened to someone so young — that really kind of was a little bit of a wake-up call. I have a nine year old sister and to think of her losing me, or me losing her — I can’t even comprehend that.” This episode of Extreme Makeover remembering Alex Brown which features Emma Roberts, Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Justin Bieber will be airing February 13 th , on ABC .

I’ve mentioned before that if I had to pick my favorite band of all time, it would most likely be The Ramones. Johnny Ramone’s band changed the rules for rock music from 1974 through the late 90’s. Their music ignited the punk-rock movement and their style was ground-breaking, as was their loud, fast-paced music. We might not have the “Guitar Hero” sensation of today were it not for The Ramones. Last year, I did a post on a particular song we selected of theirs that was featured on the site. So, you can imagine how thrilling it was to be able to spend time with a living legend in the history of rock music. Linda was so helpful and the volunteers were so excited to meet her. Thank you so much for coming out and getting involved, I know how much everyone appreciates it! Song of the Day: “Blitzkrieg Bop” by The Ramones
