Lindsay Lohan: Ready to Get Sloshed

The party never stops when you’re Lindsay Lohan. Hey, it’s not like she has any sort of work holding her back, and court depositions only take place during the day, and can always be blown off anyway. Holla! Despite pleas from many people, including her father Michael, that Lindsay Lohan is going to die unless she curbs her wild-child ways, it ain’t happening yet. The red-headed beauty is going balls out these days when it comes to the club scene. Here she is yesterday, in a rare moment of lucidity before bar hopping: STILL WITH IT : Just give it a couple of hours . Despite issues with substance abuse that have been well-publicized, she shows no signs of slowing down, having partied on multiple coasts this week, at NYC’s Butter and then Beverly Hills’ Bar 210 on Wednesday night. As the Lindsay Lohan pictures below show, she needed some help leaving. Friends shielded the plastered, half-unconscious train wreck as she clutched her pack of cigarettes and made her way to a getaway car. Party on, girl!

Sonja Morgan Aims to "Commercialize" Herself on The Real Housewives of New York City

Give Sonja Morgan points for honesty. When asked by Entertainment Weekly why she’s appearing on The Real Housewives of New York City (Morgan debuts tonight), the socialite replied: “I’m on the show to have a good time and commercialize myself… I’ve been writing my screenplay since the minute my divorce started. It’s very sexy, sort of like a Candace Bushnell society novel.” Somewhere in a meeting with her agent, ignoring her children Kate Gosselin is shaking her head and wondering why a single mother on a reality show isn’t using that platform to exploit her kids for sympathy, money and attention. But back to Morgan. What is her life experience? Will she mix it up with her co-stars? We’ve excerpted a few responses from her aforementioned magazine interview : What’s her resume? I’ve been working my whole life, started at 14 years old put myself through college, and then I was modeling in Europe, doing the restaurant business, and brokering deals. Then I got married, had a baby. Then I produced a movie, then I produced an art show and produced an art tour. I said, “You know, I think it’s time to highlight my career.” Will she catfight? It’s not my M.O. I love to gossip like anyone else but I definitely don’t want to hurt other people’s feelings. I don’t have a mean bone in my body. I can be very gossipy and fakey like any woman is, and I hope I can keep my composure around the ladies. What is she like? I don’t want to be clich

The Verge: Nash and Joel Edgerton

Watch out, Chris and Liam Hemsworth: there’s another pair of Australian brothers on the rise. Nash and Joel Edgerton have a long background in entertainment — 35-year-old Joel acted in the Star Wars prequels as Owen Lars and starred in the recent Sundance hit Animal Kingdom , while 37-year-old Nash has done stunt work for some of the biggest blockbusters ever made — but with their new film The Square , they’re poised to break out Stateside. Nash directed the neo-noir, which finds a hapless adulterer scheming with an arsonist (played by Joel, who also wrote the screenplay) to pull off a con on his mistress’s husband. This being a crime drama, things do not go as planned. The brothers rang up Movieline today to discuss their collaboration, and they also dished on a ton of upcoming projects they’re involved with, including Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere , the Nick Nolte/Tom Hardy fighting drama Warrior , and Universal’s upcoming prequel to The Thing .

Hurt Locker Wins Big at Oscars, Kathryn Bigelow takes Best Director

It was the first Iraq war movie to really break through, and now “The Hurt Locker” has won six Academy Awards, including best picture and best director, marking the first time an Oscar for directing has gone to a woman. The movie opens with a quote from Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges. “The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug.” Hedges wrote that line in his book “War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning.” The film is surprisingly apolitical, given its subject matter. It was written and co-produced by Mark Boal, a journalist who won an Oscar for his screenplay. The winning director, Kathryn Bigelow, was only the fourth woman ever nominated in that category. She beat out, among others, Lee Daniels, who would have been the first African-American to take home the best-director statuette. http://www.truthdig.com/arts_culture/item/hurt_locker_wins_big_at_oscars_2010030… added by: toreyray
