Lindsay Lohan has enlisted the help of a spiritual advisor to counsel her and urge a judge to keep her out of jail at her hearing in January … you can’t make this stuff up. Lohan’s spiritual guru (yes, she really has one ) will write a letter on her behalf, with Lindsay believing that the letters will help prove jail is not the best option for her. The hot mess faces up to 245 days in the slammer for her recent probation violation (she’s on probation for necklace thievery), triggered by her recent legal altercations. Lohan was arrested for punching Tiffany Mitchell at a club, and also charged criminally for lying to police in the aftermath of her Pacific Coast Highway car crash. She’s convinced a letter from the spiritual advisor will have a real impact, specifically because he’s been helping her since 2008 … a lot of good that’s done. Lohan’s angle, despite her laundry list of legal woes, is that she’s benefited from counseling in the past, and her advisor can and will vouch for that fact. She allegedly admits she needs professional help – not coincidentally, when it’s the last alternative to eight months in the can – and is praying a judge will agree. The judge has the option to send her to counseling instead, and Commissioner Jane Godfrey, who will arraign LiLo, is seen as one who may actually grant that. Should she? Or should LiLo do TIME? Yes, that train wreck brat will never learn otherwise! No, quit trying to make an example out of her, haters! View Poll »
Taylor Swift may be involved in a burgeoning feud with Miley Cyrus , but the singer is featured in the latest issue of WebMD and tells the magazine that she tries hard not to remain down for long. “The fact is, my life is amazing,” Swift says. “So when I’m getting too much in my own head, I try to say all the things I’m grateful for. Such as? “It can be simple things – like if I’m complaining about how my cellphone is working slowly, I think about how slowly they worked five years ago. It’s OK to have glass-half-empty days, but not too many of them. I place a higher priority on being happy than I do on freaking out.” And Taylor has few reasons these days to be upset in general, as she appears to be happily dating Harry Styles , while her new album has gone triple platinum. “There’s a huge amount of pressure and responsibility because millions of people are going to potentially spend their hard-earned money on the album,” Swift says of making a CD. “And there’s a great responsibility for the critics who will write about it, and responsibility for the girl who is going through a breakup and needs a song about what she’s feeling, and responsibility for the girl who doesn’t feel good about herself and needs a song for that, too, and I worry about saying or doing the wrong thing.” Has Swift succeeded in meeting these responsibilities? Most fans would say yes.

We’re glad Taylor’s safe — and that she and Jacob are never, ever getting together. Good thing Taylor Swift spent her birthday in England with boyfriend Harry Styles! A certain knife-wielding intruder apparently expected the singer to be spending the evening at her Nashville home, which is likely why he broke in early this mor
