Lindsay Lohan vs. the Ankle Bracelet: Who Will Prevail?

With Lindsay Lohan barred from any alcohol or drug use until her next court hearing July 6, we got to thinking: Can she defeat the dreaded ankle monitor? Either by going cold turkey, or by fooling it in some way? If anyone is up to the challenge, it’s LiLo, who has rocked such a bracelet before, back in 2007. During that stint, she posed with it in a bikini … presumably while sober. But who knows. Can Lohan’s SCRAM bracelet be tricked so she can still party? The device, which measures alcohol intake via an individual’s sweat, seems impossible to beat. Sensors record any attempt to remove or tamper with it. The New York Daily News , however, suggests that by sticking one’s foot in a tub of ice water, and thus not sweating, one could avoid any positive reading. So … put the keg in the tub and let’s party! SCRAM-ED : Have Lindsay Lohan’s partying days been collared? The newspaper also said that people can try sticking “cold cuts between the unit’s sensor and the wearer, creating a skin-like barrier that doesn’t sweat.” Seriously. There have been entire articles written on this subject, so you know Linds is going to be well-versed in any loopholes or trickery she can employ. Some lawyers and addiction counselors refute that you can “trick” the bracelet, though saying it’s nearly impossible. What about simply … not drinking? This could be a tall order for Lindsay. First of all, she’s going to be so bored. More significantly, the girl has cravings and needs to be satisfied . Fast. Hard. Her motivation to stay clean is strong, however. If that SCRAM device indicates she’s violating the rules, she could end up in jail by the end of the day. Who do you think will prevail?

Paula Abdul Is NOT Returning To ‘Idol’

American Idol bosses have shot down reports that former judge Paula Abdul is returning to the hit reality show. Hollywood has been buzzing with the news that Abdul was set to rejoin the judges’ table less than a year after she left. Last August, Abdul announced long-running negotiations had fallen through and she had quit the singing competition show after eight seasons. She has since been replaced by comedienne Ellen DeGeneres. But now with the news that Simon Cowell is leaving after this season to concentrate on the US version of his hit British show The X Factor , rumors began swirling that Abdul had been offered her old job back. A source told US magazine In Touch: “They want Paula back. They’re not sure if she’d be the fifth judge, but they are talking to her. People tuned in to see Paula’s wacky antics and her chemistry with Simon. The show is just not as much fun to watch without her.” However, American Idol executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz had denied reports Fox network executives are wooing Abdul back. Frot-Coutaz told the New York Daily News : “There’s no truth to that rumor.”

Jennifer Lopez To Sign With Def Jam?

Jennifer Lopez is set to sign a new record deal but is already facing attacks for being “past her prime.” The sexy singer appeared to be facing a career crisis in February when it emerged she had split from her long-running record label Sony. But now she appears to be set to sign a new deal. “Def Jam label group will be the new home of Jennifer Lopez,” her manager, Benny Medina, insisted, although Def Jam has yet to confirm details of a deal. However, despite Def Jam’s interest, J-Lo is still far from out of the woods with her musical career. This week an audio clip of Lopez trying to record Barbra Streisand’s Enough Is Enough was leaked onto the internet – embarrassing the star as it reportedly reveals her off-key singing and repeatedly failing to get the song right. It only added fuel to the fire of those insisting that her days as a pop superstar are over. “People are saying that Jennifer is past her prime and her best work is behind her,” a source at a major record company told the New York Daily News . Another music insider added: “Jennifer is too old to play the cute little dance dolly, and she’s not skilled enough as an artist to sing serious ballads. So what can she do?”
