Lindsay Lohan ‘Fine’ After Paramedic Scare

Early reports say the actress was taken to the hospital, though her publicist tells MTV News she was just taking ‘a nap.’ By James Montgomery Lindsay Lohan Photo: Just another day in the life of Lindsay Lohan: On Friday afternoon (June 15), California station KABC broke news that the oft-troubled actress was taken to the hospital after being found unconscious in a Marina del Rey, California, hotel room and that her condition “was currently unknown.” According to the report, the Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to a 911 call at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel after Lohan — in Marina del Rey to film the Lifetime Original movie “Liz & Dick” — was found unconscious in the penthouse. KABC ended the story by promising “we will add more details to this report as they become available.” Of course, those details might be difficult to come by. Because right around the time KABC’s report was making the rounds, TMZ jumped into the fray, breaking news that, while paramedics did respond to a 911 call at the hotel, Lohan was never taken to the hospital. “Paramedics … determined nothing was wrong with Lindsay [and] left without transporting her to the hospital,” the TMZ story said. “Lindsay wasn’t feeling well after complaining of exhaustion. She called someone from the ‘Liz & Dick’ production team early this morning, and the team sent a private doctor to check on her. “Before arriving, the doctor called the hotel and asked someone to check on Lindsay,” the report continued. “Someone from the hotel went to her door, ‘checked on her’ and determined she was ‘unresponsive.’ The hotel then called 911.” KABC subsequently updated its story to include a comment from Lohan’s attorney, who let it be known that the actress was, in fact, “fine.” “As I understand it, she was exhausted after shooting non-stop for two days,” Shawn Holley told the station. “Someone called paramedics, for reasons which are unclear. They determined that she was fine.” “She’s OK,” Dina Lohan told the Huffington Post . “She was working through the night and wrapped at 6:15 this morning. She’s home now sleeping. She’s doing a great job.” Lohan’s publicist, Steve Honig, echoed those sentiments, telling MTV News in a statement: “Lindsay worked a grueling schedule for the past few days … [and] took a nap before shooting her final scene. Producers were concerned when she did not come out of her room and called paramedics as a precaution.” Honig added that the actress was suffering from “some exhaustion and dehydration” and said she’d return to the “Liz & Dick” set later Friday Related Photos The Highs And Lows Of Lindsay Lohan Related Artists Lindsay Lohan

Justin Bieber Brings Out Big Sean For ‘Today’ Show Performance

‘I’ve been working hard and I’m confident in the album,’ the singer tells Matt Lauer of Believe, which drops Tuesday. By Jocelyn Vena Justin Bieber Photo: Some Fridays in June are simply dubbed “summer Fridays,” but this one in particular was a very special “Justin Bieber summer Friday.” Bieber kicked off his electrifying performance on the “Today” show with “Boyfriend,” the funky lead single off his new album, Believe. From there he popped, locked and sang his way through his catalogue of tracks, some from his June 19 album release and some from his past albums. He brought the energy for his My World track “Baby” (even rapping his way through Ludacris’ part), but he brought out Big Sean to rap alongside him on “As Long as You Love Me.” He had recently teased on Twitter that he had plans to bring out a special guest. “Make some noise for the legendary, one-and-only Justin Bieber,” Sean told the audience after they wrapped up. As for Bieber, well, he only had eyes for his fans. “I want to say thank you guys so much for waiting. I really appreciate it,” he told the crowd. Justin’s fans camp out in the rain for three days! Bieber also performed “All Around the World,” but in between songs, he met fans and chatted with them about their signs. He even picked a fan whose sign he liked best and gave her tickets to his upcoming tour. “I’m really excited to be able to travel the world again and see all my fans. … Everyone, they got to believe,” he said of the trek. Before he took the stage at Rockefeller Plaza, Bieber sat down with Matt Lauer and opened up about making a mature album. “At the end of the day, it is [a lot of pressure]. I’m 18 and I have a lot of insecurities, and at the end of the day, me being in my position, it doesn’t, like, get rid of those insecurities,” he said. “And so coming out with this album, I know I’ve been working hard on it and I know I’ve been doing well, so I’m confident in the album. But, you know, it’s coming out in two days. “But I think it’s about proving people wrong,” he added. “And going out and making good music and going out there and performing better than everyone else, and that’s what you have to do to cross over. Otherwise I’m going to be another teen heartthrob. I want to be remembered.” Recently, his manager, Scooter Braun , said that despite being legal, Bieber will still get a lot of guidance. That doesn’t seem to be something that the singer minds. “I think that I’m at a place. I’m 18. I’m still growing up. I’m still learning about different things: girls, my music,” he said. “So I’m not all the way there, but I’m at a stage where I’m growing and my fans are growing with me and I want to make music that reflects that.” Related Photos Justin Bieber Performs On The ‘Today’ Show Related Artists Justin Bieber

Chris Brown Talks To Police In Drake Fight Investigation

Breezy’s lawyer turned over ‘physical evidence’ that allegedly implicates Drake. By Gil Kaufman Chris Brown Photo: We may never know exactly what sparked the bottle-flying melee between Chris Brown and Drake at New York nightclub W.i.P. 
 on Wednesday night, but police will definitely get at least one side of the story. According to TMZ , Brown has given a statement to NYPD investigators about the scuffle that left him with a gash on his chin and seriously injured one of his bodyguards, Big Pat. Unnamed law enforcement sources told the site that Brown’s celebrity lawyer, Mark Geragos, has handed over unspecified “physical evidence” that allegedly implicates Drake in the fight. One of the rappers hanging with Drake that night, Meek Mill , has denied reports that he set the fight off by tossing a bottle at Brown’s group. Drake has also said he had nothing to do with the melee, issuing a statement on Thursday that read, “Drake did not participate in any wrongdoing of any kind last night at W.i.P. He was on his way out of the club when the altercation began. [Drake] did not engage in any activity which resulted in injury to person or damage to property.” TMZ added that Geragos presented evidence to the NYPD on Thursday that allegedly showed that Drake and Meek were the aggressors, just hours after Breezy spoke to cops. Police say neither Brown nor Drake are currently suspects in the case and the Brown is being treated as a “witness and a victim.” And while Drake has reportedly been “cooperating” with investigators and his representatives have had conversations with police, it was unclear at press time if the rapper had been involved in any direct talks with detectives. Citing unnamed sources, TMZ claimed that the instigator may have been someone in Brown’s camp who was “inciting Drake and his people all night.” A video purportedly showing the brawl also emerged on Thursday on YouTube . (Warning, strong language in video.) Though it’s not possible to make out who is involved in the fight, a DJ can be heard saying that the party will resume shortly and at one point a large gentleman in a white tank top covered with blood can be seen being escorted from the club. A short time later, a man is seen throwing a punch at another gentleman being held by security, after which the aggressor runs out the door of the club. Another video shows footage of Chris Brown and Mill leaving the club. Meek was spotted walking down the sidewalk, while Brown takes off his shirt before getting into a black SUV. Drake is also in the clip, but he is partially hidden in the crowd. Trey Songz was also filmed walking out of the club. The video, posted by We Mobbin DVD, implies that more footage will soon find its way online, for a price, including footage of the actual fight. A bystander who was injured in the incident, 24-year-old Australian tourist Hollie C., has filed a police report after getting hit in the head by a bottle. She sustained a gash that required 16 stitches and on Thursday she posted a video in which she lashed out at the perpetrators. “I went out last night with my friends to a place called W.i.P. and I’ve spent most of the night and morning in hospital … the reason why I have 16 stitches on my head, my face is because of some stupid famous people having a fight over a girl. Where’s the justice in them walking away, driving away in a limo while I have to catch a train home on one of my holidays?” Related Artists Chris Brown Drake

Joe Jonas, The Situation Surprise Cat Deeley On ‘The Choice’

Deeley dishes on the celebs competing on the kitschy dating show. By Jocelyn Vena Cat Deeley Photo: Fox’s new dating show “The Choice” gives fans the unique experience of vying for the heart of a celebrity and getting the chance to go out on an actual date with him (or her), all with the cameras rolling. “It’s basically this idea of, we take celebrity eligible bachelors and bachelorettes and they have to compete for sexy singles across America,” host Cat Deeley told MTV News. “So it’s basically normal people … it’s like ‘The Dating Game,’ and then they go out on a date that night.” The show is like that classic small-screen game show, paired with the more modern idea of spinning chairs as seen on “The Voice.” The kitschy reality show kicked off last week with “Jersey Shore” star DJ Pauly D and performer Romeo looking for love. On Thursday night (June 14), Joe Jonas and “Suburgatory” actor Parker Young will try to score on the show. “I was quite surprised about him,” Deeley noted about Jonas when asked which celebrity booking shocked her most. “I imagined him to be quite conservative, but he was kind of up for it. I think that’s the big thing about the show, it’s just to be fun and entertainment. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. Its tongue is firmly planted in its cheek.” Not to be outdone by his “Shore” castmate Pauly D, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino will also appear on the show in an episode airing later this month. “The Situation? Actually, he had a girl that was a real homebody and she sorted him out,” she recalled. “She literally got him out of his chair, and she sat in the chair and, in the end, he was like a little puppy dog with her.” Ultimately, it was a guy who competed on another Fox reality show that left Deeley with a bit of a crush. “I really enjoyed [former ‘American Idol’ contestant] Taylor [Hicks]. I hadn’t met him very many times before,” she recalled. “I think probably Taylor [surprised me the most]. There was one moment where his chair knocked me off the podium, literally, almost decapitating me, and he was very gentlemanly with me — a Southern boy with Southern charm.” Related Artists Joe Jonas The Situation

Chris Brown A ‘Victim’ In Drake Bar Brawl

‘Chris and his party are cooperating with NY authorities,’ singer’s rep says in statement about the altercation. By Jocelyn Vena W.I.P. nightclub Photo: Shortly after Drake broke his silence about the Big Apple brawl between his camp and Chris Brown ‘s, insisting he was on his way out of the NYC nightclub at the time of the incident , Brown released a statement also proclaiming his innocence in the matter. “Chris, [girlfriend] Karrueche [Tran] and his friends were victims of a brutal attack last night at WIP,” his rep told GossipCop.com . “They sustained several injuries. Chris and his party are cooperating with NY authorities who are pursuing this incident further.” In addition to the two entourages partaking in the scuffle — which not only injured Brown, but also his bodyguard, Big Pat — one bystander was also injured during the altercation . TMZ reports that a 24-year-old Australian tourist, Hollie C., had been at the club when the incident occurred and was struck by a flying bottle. “Within a few moments of noticing glass being thrown around, I saw a glass bottle headed towards me, consequently hitting me in the head,” she told the site. “I immediately started to bleed and proceeded to fall in and out of consciousness.” She was brought to the hospital, where she received stitches. She has since filed a police report. “I had to take the subway home with no money or jacket,” she added. “Nobody would even sit beside me. My friends were so scared because they did not know where I was.” Footage has since surfaced on GossipCop of Chris Brown and Meek Mill (who was with Drake and reportedly threw the bottle at Brown) leaving the club. Meek was spotted walking down the sidewalk, while Brown takes off his shirt before getting into a black SVU. Drake is also reportedly in the clip, but he is hidden in the crowd. Trey Songz was also filmed walking out of the club. The video, posted by We Mobbin DVD, implies that more footage will soon find its way online, for a price, including footage of the actual fight. Meek Mill has since denied having anything to do with the fight . The club has yet to return MTV News’ request for further comment. Related Artists Chris Brown Drake

Chris Brown, Drake Crews In Brawl At NYC Club

NYPD confirm they were called to scene of a fight at W.I.P. but no arrests were made. By Rebecca Thomas Drake and Chris Brown Photo: Rappers stay schemin’. And if the reports are to be believed, R&B singers do too. After hitting up the Maybach Music Group listening party in the Bronx, Young Money rapper Drake headed to New York’s SoHo, where his camp reportedly got into an altercation with Chris Brown’s crew on Wednesday night. According to TMZ , the NYPD has confirmed that Drizzy and Breezy got into a fight at W.I.P. nightclub, where bottles were allegedly thrown. A photo posted to Brown’s Instagram showing the singer sporting a bloody gash on his chin quickly made the rounds on Thursday (June 14). But Breezy’s timeline had been sanitized entirely at press time. Drake and Brown have been the subject of rumors, particularly in recent months, as buzz built that the two were fighting over Rihanna. Brown’s long-term relationship with the Bajan singer imploded after he assaulted her in 2009, but they continued to be linked to each other. Drake has spoken in song about his own fleeting romantic encounter with Rihanna; the pair were spotted out together during Memorial Day weekend in Miami. Five people were injured in last night’s brawl, before the New York City Police Department were called in the early morning hours, around 4 a.m. TMZ reported that Brown and Drake were not at the club when police arrived; no arrests were made.

Selena Gomez Fans, Prepare To Be ‘Shocked’ By ‘Spring Breakers’

Former Disney star talks to MTV News about ‘taking risks’ in her upcoming flick. By Cory Midgarden Selena Gomez Photo: MTV News NEW YORK — Selena Gomez is all grown up. The former “Wizards of Waverly Place” actress has traded in her Mickey Mouse ears for a two-toned bikini and a whole lot of scandal in the upcoming “Spring Breakers.” “People will be a little shocked, I think,” Gomez told MTV News while promoting her new self-titled fragrance in New York on Saturday. “I’m a little nervous about it but honestly it’s a right step for me, I’m really proud of it.” Also shaking their squeaky-clean images in the flick are “Pretty Little Liars” star Ashley Benson and Disney alum Vanessa Hudgens. The film follows the girls as they head to Florida for spring break, where they find themselves behind bars after robbing a restaurant. “I think as an actress it really challenged me,” Gomez said. “All of the other actresses are also trying to prove themselves, so it was just really, really fun.” Although Gomez is taking more chances with both her acting and music, there is still one role that is a little too racy for the 19-year-old: “Fifty Shades of Grey.” “I know I’m taking risks but I don’t think I could do that,” she told MTV News. “That would be a little too much for me.” Gomez became familiar with the hot and heavy storyline after being approached to star in Funny or Die’s “Fifty Shades of Blue.” “When they told me about the skit, I didn’t know what [‘Fifty Shades of Grey’] was about, so I started to read it and was like, oh, this is spicy, I thought it was good, it was intriguing,” she said. “The skit was really funny.” So with all of this research under her belt, who does the 19-year-old think should play S&M-loving Christian Grey’s object of affection? “Someone older should do that part,” she replied.
