Look out, every nightclub in Los Angeles: Lindsay Lohan is a free woman. Following 35 days under grueling, sprawling house arrest, the troubled actress had her ankle monitor removed at 10:20 a.m. local time today. At last check, she remained inside her Venice Beach, California condo, but was on her way to fulfill community service obligations at any moment. “I spoke with her yesterday and she told me she is eager to return to fulfilling her community service obligation which she has been unable to perform during house arrest,” Lindsay’s rep tells E! News. It was a difficult month-plus for Lohan, who was stuck inside her $2.25 million estate and forced to give interviews from the comfort of her living room sofa. We have no doubt she’s learned her lesson, scale back on her partying, resurrect her career and… darn. We almost got that out with a straight face. [Photo: WENN.com]

50 Cent, Trey Songz, Snoop Dogg surprise fans at Power 106 show, which also featured Big Sean, Jeremih, LMFAO, the Rej3ctz and T-Pain. By Felicia “The Poetess” Morris Wiz Khalifa at Power 106’s Powerhouse 2011 on Saturday Photo: MTV News LOS ANGELES — Radio station Power 106 held their annual sold-out Powerhouse concert at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, on Saturday night, bringing together multiple generations of hip-hop stars, from West Coast OG Ice Cube to L.A.’s latest dance-craze instigators the Rej3ctz to a chart-topping visitor from out east, Wiz Khalifa . The Rej3ctz opened the show with a high-energy performance and later danced onstage with the very colorful LMFAO as they performed “Shots.” Sporting a white T-shirt and bright yellow cargo shorts, T-Pain took it up a couple notches with a string of his hits and left fans fully charged with DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win.” The evening had a couple of surprises on deck: 50 Cent joined Jeremih on their collabo “Down on Me,” which Jeremih said was the first time they’ve ever performed the song together in concert. Compton’s own DJ Quik gave loyal fans what they came for, and when Lupe Fiasco pulled young crooner Trey Songz onstage during his set, screaming concertgoers raised the decibels to new heights. The Don Mega himself, Ice Cube, brought out his old N.W.A bandmate MC Ren on the song “Hello.” “It makes you feel good, being in the game as long as I have,” Ice Cube told MTV News before the show. “I done went from new school to old school and still here. You can’t do nothing but be humbled by the fact that so many rappers is gone. … I’m still here after all this time.” Cube was also the most-anticipated act of the evening by fellow performers including the headliner, Wiz Khalifa. “This is my first time performing at Powerhouse, my first time performing at an event this big, so I feel elated,” Wiz told MTV News before his set. “I’m really excited about seeing Cube.” But Khalifa had another trick up his sleeve when it came to honoring L.A.’s hip-hop roots: He brought out his “High School” co-star Snoop Dogg for one last Powerhouse surprise, no doubt leaving 18,000 fans feeling like they got their money’s worth.

‘This couldn’t have come at a better time,’ says Gay Pride Week participant outside the Stonewall Inn. By Vaughn Trudeau Schoonmaker Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images NEW YORK — With the historic passing of the same marriage equality bill in New York State on Friday night, the streets of the city have since been flooded with excited members of the LGBT community and other supporters on what just happens to be Gay Pride Week. Crowds of people have continued to drop by the Stonewall Inn, the famous site that has come to be known as the birthplace of the world’s gay rights movement following the infamous “Stonewall riots” that followed a police raid on the bar in 1969. Erin Healy of Albany, New York, recalled the groundbreaking moment. “I was with my friends last night and everyone was like, ‘The bill’s going to get passed!’ So we were like, ‘Turn on the news!’ and then all of a sudden it was like, ’29 to 33, it’s passed!’ ” “I just think this is such a groundbreaking moment in gay history,” expressed 21-year-old Brianna McDonald. “This vote was so important to the young crowd because it actually gives us something to look forward to, to get married if we want to.” “We are in the gayest part of town!” laughed Tony Benninelli of Queens, who was out with his friends in the West Village celebrating Gay Pride. “This couldn’t have come at a better time.” Jesse Kissel was especially keen on noting the part that both the Stonewall Inn and New York City played when it came to this epic moment. “This is where it all started,” he smiled. “This was where the revolution began, where people started realizing that we need rights and privileges.” The passing of the act gave Miami resident Jorge Orobitg a new hope for his own state. “New York is a big state,” he said, “so that means we’re heading in the right direction.” ( Read how California residents reacted to the news. ) “Hopefully, this will sprout a nationwide thing,” Erin Healy said. “It’s just something ridiculous to me that it’s taken even this long to happen.” Share your reactions to New York’s same-sex marriage bill on Facebook.

‘California needs to catch up,’ one gay-marriage supporter says. By Kara Warner Photo: Spencer Platt/Getty Images LOS ANGELES — As the celebrations continued in New York on Saturday (June 25) for the passage of the same-sex marriage bill , many Americans were just waking up to and learning of the news. Expressing similar ecstatic emotions to those expressed by New Yorkers, many California residents spoke to MTV News about their enthusiasm for the bill’s passage. “I think it’s the next step for states,” John Stoeckly told MTV News after New York became the sixth and most populous state to legalize same-sex marriage. “I think people should be happy about it. I think California is probably going to be the next state that makes that step.” “You love who you love, you can’t really help that,” Samantha Capatosto said of her support for same-sex marriage. “I think it mean that they don’t let people get married, my aunt can’t get married, and I’m sad about that. She lives in Florida.” “You can’t help who you love, be with who you want to be with!” Jackie Mossberg chimed in. Both young ladies, along with friend Lauren Vigil, agreed that they feel like same-sex marriage will soon be legal nation-wide. “All the states are slowly letting gay marriage become legal,” Vigil said. “I think [California is] kind of stubborn,” Capatosto added. “But maybe it will happen.” California courts made same-sex marriage legal in 2008 before the passage of Proposition 8 that year negated the ruling. The law has been overturned by the U.S. District court and is now pending a decision by the California Supreme Court. California resident Orlando Soria was equally excited about the news, but offered a more cautiously optimistic opinion. “It seems like it keeps going back and forth between things being legal and not legal,” he pointed out. “New York is sort of a vanguard state, so it seems that the rest of the country will eventually go that direction, but we have no idea. In a year they could be like, ‘Oh that’s illegal again.’ Part of me thinks it’s very exciting for now, especially after Prop 8, but it’s hard to get fully excited about this stuff because you never know what’s going to happen. I don’t know. I should just be excited, but at the same time I’m excited with trepidation.” Soria went on to say that the most surprising aspect of the news was learning that the bill was passed for all of New York State, not just New York City. “New York State is kind of conservative. I lived in upstate New York for four years, and it was very different from the city,” he said. “That’s amazing to think that crazy conservative New York state passed something that California has yet to. It’s nuts.” Rebekah Nazarian’s response to the news was that “California needs to catch up. Big ups to New York for taking the lead in being the biggest state to allow same sex marriage, ” she said. “This is one time I don’t mind being a follower, and I hope soon too California can be proud of the same beautiful accomplishment.” Share your reactions to New York’s same-sex marriage bill on Facebook.

A victory for human rights. Progress.” wrote John Legend. “New York believes in EQUALITY!! Hopefully California and the rest of the U.S. will follow! Wish I was in NYC right now!” said Perez Hilton.
