Isn’t this a damn shame!?!? Lindsay Lohan’s slizzard azz Mom made an appearance on Dr. Phil yesterday and she’s got everyone having an “ah hah” moment thinking…”that’s why Lindsay is all jacked up!!!” While we’re trying not to feel too bad for Blowhan, we can’t help but give a thumbs down to the “Dr.”, his team, and the ratings game. According to Radar Online… Dina Lohan raked in the big bucks for the bizarre interview she did with Dr. Phil McGraw which aired Monday — RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned that she earned a whopping $50,000! Lindsay Lohan’s mother was fidgeting throughout the train wreck appearance, ignored Dr. Phil’s questions, flipped him the bird at one point and appeared to be under the influence of something throughout. Michael Lohan made an appearance on screen at one point, and claims that although he was not paid a cent, his ex-wife pulled in thousands for her time. “I got absolutely NOTHING,” Michael told RadarOnline.com. “It’s the first question Dr. Phil asked me but they cut that out. Dina DID get $50,000 and that’s why they were pissed that she didn’t give them the interview they wanted.” Dr. Phil was clearly annoyed with Dina, saying: “Can I ask you some questions, and you answer them, not in television speak but just answer them honestly?” Dr. Phil slammed Dina’s responses to his questions, saying: “What you have done is distinguished yourself in the negative, you have come on here and been phony and inauthentic.” If this sorry excuse for a Mother actually did get paid we hope she uses the dough towards treatment!

Singer will perform on Hollywood Boulevard before hitting red carpet and answering your questions. By Christina Garibaldi Katy Perry Photo: Katy Perry is finally set to close the final chapter of Teenage Dream with the release of her upcoming film, “Part of Me.” The 3-D documentary follows the singer over the course of 2011 as she experiences both highs and lows in her career and personal life. On Tuesday, June 26, Katy will be hitting the red carpet at Los Angeles’ Grauman’s Chinese Theatre to premiere “Part of Me,” and MTV News will be there to talk to the star. But before Perry walks the carpet, she is treating fans to a special live performance on the famed Hollywood Boulevard. We want you to get in on the action as well via Twitter, by using the @mtvnews handle and hashtag #askkaty to get your questions answered by Perry herself. Perry’s flick gives fans a rare glimpse into the life of a pop star. For those who couldn’t make her California Dreams Tour , the film gives a front-row seat to her concert and shows us what life is really like on the road. Perry also shows an extremely vulnerable side in the film. We get to witness early footage of the star, showing her dealing with her parents’ strictness. We also see peeks of her relationship with ex-husband Russell Brand and get an idea of her tireless work schedule. Perry recently premiered the video for “Wide Awake,” a song she wrote for the movie, during her “MTV First,” and it was there that she opened up about the film, saying that even though she may be one of the biggest pop stars in the world, she deals with real issues like any other woman. “There’s some scenes that I know people will screenshot and be like, ‘Oh, she looks like a fat cow with zits.’ But I put those in there because that’s a part of me, that’s reality, and I’m OK with that now,” Perry told MTV News’ Sway Calloway. “It’s been a process of learning it’s OK, and I’m accepting of my own skin, but I think it’s important for young kids to see that you don’t have to be perfect in order to achieve your dreams, because I think that the world has this strange, skewed perception of successful people, that they’re just so perfectly made up, and they have all these possessions that make them who they are, and that’s not at all how I got here; I came from nothing. I didn’t have anything.” “Katy Perry: Part of Me” hits theaters July 5.

The mother of an 8-year-old girl presented with a “Catastrophe Award” for the best/most excuses for not doing homework believes her child was humiliated by her teacher. Christina Valdez said her daughter, Cassandra Garcia, came home one day from class at Desert Springs Academy in Tucson, Ariz., with the paper award. The document, which looks like a colorful card, says: “You’re Tops! Catastrophe Award . Awarded to Cassandra Garcia. For Most Excuses for Not Having Homework!” The teacher signed and dated the card, which included a smiley face. Eight-Year-Old Wins ‘Catastrophe Award’ The teacher announced the award in front of Garcia’s entire third grade class, while other students laughed at her daughter, Valdez told KGUN-TV in Tucson. When she called to complain, the principal “blew me off,” Valdez added. “She said it was a joke that was played and that the teachers joke around with the children.” Valdez told KGUN that she didn’t find any of it funny. “I think it’s cruel and no child should be given an award like this. It’s disturbing,” she said, adding that she was unaware of any problem with homework.
