Lindsay Lohan Lies to Police About Car Crash; No One Surprised

Lindsay Lohan lied to police Friday, and not just about her brakes failing . The hot mess initially told them she was NOT driving the Porsche that she totaled when she slammed into a semi on the Pacific Coast Highway north of L.A. As a result, her probation could be revoked … what else is new. When Lindsay was in the hospital getting checked out after the serious car accident , cops from the Santa Monica Police Department paid a visit. Lindsay told police she was a passenger in the Porsche and her assistant was driving. However, the assistant said that Lohan was behind the wheel. Police are writing up a report that will include Lindsay’s lie. It’s unclear why she would lie … but she could be screwed. This is significant because it’s a crime to provide false information to a police officer, especially if it impedes an active criminal investigation, and doing so could trigger a probation violation in her shoplifting case. That could send her back to jail … again. Several eyewitnesses at the scene say Lindsay and her assistant both got out on the passenger side, which means Lindsay had to climb over the console. Lohan appears to have concocted the lie almost immediately after impact. She was not ticketed in the wreck, that we know of, but time will tell if Lohan faces criminal charges for her obvious lies to the authorities. [Photo: WENN.com]

Lindsay Lohan Hospitalized After Car Accident

Doctors are reportedly performing tests on the actress after her vehicle was totaled in collision with 18-wheeler. By John Mitchell Lindsay Lohan Photo: Jason Kempin/ Getty Images Lindsay Lohan was taken to the hospital Friday (June 8) after her black Porsche collided with an 18-wheel semi-trailer truck, TMZ is reporting. Santa Monica police said the accident occurred on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica and that an investigation into the collision was ongoing. The actress was transported to the hospital, though reportedly not by ambulance. While Lohan’s condition is not known, she is reportedly in the hospital with doctors performing tests, though on-scene sources say she appears to have not suffered any major injuries. The actress’ Porsche was reportedly totaled in the accident. Photos of the vehicle show a severely damaged front end, with the hood pushed up and nearly dislodged, the airbag deployed and a smashed windshield. The passenger-side window was reportedly shattered and the rear bumper was torn off her car. In March, Lohan completed her probation related to two 2007 DUI cases and has been working steadily to get her derailed career back on track. Though she received mixed reviews, she delivered big ratings for “Saturday Night Live” when she hosted the legendary sketch comedy show earlier this year and more recently, despite reports of on-set drama , earned positive notices for her appearance on “Glee.” The 25-year-old actress is currently filming the TV biopic “Liz & Dick,” in which she stars as film icon Elizabeth Taylor. The first publicity still from the movie was released this week, showing Lohan with a short black bob.

Kid Cudi ‘Stepped Up’ His Acting On ‘How To Make It In America’

‘This season, my character has a lot more depth than the first season,’ Cudi tells MTV News of HBO show. By Rob Markman Kid Cudi Photo: MTV News Scott Kid Cudi Mescudi made his acting debut last year as party animal Domingo Brown on HBO’s “How to Make It In America.” While he was satisfied with his performance, this year, he aims to make strides. “This season, my character has a lot more depth than the first season, and one of the things that I really took seriously was preparing. I got an acting coach; I wanted to step it up,” Cudi told MTV News after filming a scene for season two. “With anything that I’m doing, I always want to take it to the next level — whether it’s music or acting.” The first step toward the G.O.O.D. Music rapper/singer’s acting growth was to review tape, similar to how professional athletes analyze game film. “One thing that I did, I studied the first season, I studied my performance. I knew that I was gonna get a lot more this season,” he said. “I wanted to deliver. I wanted to make the people at HBO happy. I wanted to make my management happy.” Cudi also kept his series co-stars in mind using Bryan Greenberg and Victor Rasuk as motivation to get better. “I wanted to be able to step on the camera with cats like Victor and Bryan Greenberg, who are pros at this sh–, guys who have been doing it for years, and to be able to do a scene with those guys and maintain and really deliver with the focus. I really feel like I stepped it up a whole lot, and I’m excited to see it.” The budding thespian may have to wait a few more weeks to watch: As of now, the series is rumored to begin airing during the summer with no specific date announced yet. When season two does eventually air, fans can expect to see Cudi’s Domingo with an expanded role and a little more depth. “The biggest lesson I’ve learned, I guess, is just the focus part of it, transforming into this character,” he said. “First season, my character was in six out of eight episodes, and I kinda popped up and I was here and there, and my character was more perceived as the party guy. But I really did what I could with the first [season] without having many skills.” Are you looking forward to the return of “How to Make It in America”? Let us know in the comments!

Selena Gomez Fans Call Her ‘Role Model’ Material

‘There’s not many actresses that can really inspire little girls in the right way,’ one admirer says after teen star’s concert. By Kara Warner Selena Gomez Photo: Jeffrey Mayer/ WireImage Despite the fact that Selena Gomez had to cancel her appearance at the Santa Monica Place mall last Friday, plenty of screaming Selena fans returned to see her rescheduled performance at the mall on Monday afternoon, where Gomez thanked the crowd for their support and revealed that she was “feeling much better” after being hospitalized briefly over the weekend. Following her two-song set, MTV News caught up with a few of Gomez’s die-hard fans, who expressed their love and well-wishes for the 18-year-old star. “I really love her,” young fan Kirsten Mitchell gushed. “I still love her voice, I still love her clothing, and I love everything she did. I love her!” “She’s my role model,” Brianna Akopyn said. “She’s my inspiration.” “It’s not only that she’s famous,” Alexa Kovacs added. “Obviously, we love her because of that, but she helps people, she does things for everything, that’s just awesome to me.” “Ever since ‘Barney,’ I used to watch her on [‘Barney & Friends’] and I’ve been with her since the beginning,” Akopyn revealed. “She’s such a great role model for everyone, including little girls. There’s not many actresses that can really inspire little girls in the right way, and she can.” Speaking to Gomez’s recent illness, Alexandra Pulido said no one could really tell that Selena had been under the weather. “I heard that she was sick over the radio back home where we live, she felt nauseated and stuff,” she said. “But she sang really well today, she didn’t show any of that.” We then asked fans to send Gomez their love via our video camera. “Hey Selena, I love you so much,” Pulido enthused. “I hope you’re doing better. Say ‘Hi’ to Justin [Bieber] for me.” “We love you so much,” Kovacs added. “Thanks for everything, keep it up.” “We hope you’re doing good,” continued Akopyn. “Keep up the good work, we love you.” “Congrats on Justin,” said Kovacs with a smile. “Yeah, he’s a lucky guy,” Akopyn added.
