Lindsay Lohan Tweets Abuse Allegations at Dad

If Michael Lohan weren’t preoccupied with emailing The Hollywood Gossip at all hours of the night, he might try reaching out to his estranged daughter instead. Clearly he has his work cut out repairing that relationship. Thursday, Lindsay Lohan lashed out at her dad , alleging once again that he abused her when she was a kid. Specifically, the troubled star alleged that he “verbally/literally HURT my mother, brothers, sister Aliana … why, i ask u?” A few hours later, the actress removed the post. Still, we were able to snag a similar screen shot from her account before it was taken down by Lindsay: WAR OF THE LOHANS : Let the abuse allegations fly . She also wrote yet didn’t elaborateon this: “My father just sent me this as I was leaving my gym ‘I told you to stop Linds this is the last time… and take down the tweet about me HURTING MOM… U will be getting a call from SOMEBODY today to end you.'” LOL . This guy and his cyber threats. We can relate, Linds. Michael Lohan told celebrity photo agency X17 that she likely posted the abuse claim to retaliate against him for his recent attempts to get her to go back to rehab. He held a live press conference to urge her to do so this week. “What Lindsay is saying on Twitter is nothing more than nonsense,” he says. “As far as the ex father comment, maybe she’s divorcing me today, but she will remarry me once she gets her life back … she’s really crying out for help .” “Obviously she realizes that I’m serious about getting her into rehab,” he adds. “She’s beginning to panic because I have been contacting people around her, as well as attorneys of my own, to take measures to get her the help she needs.” We agree with Michael that Lindsay should probably go to rehab, or at least see a therapist … but these Lohans have really got to learn better communication .

While they had absolutely no helpful information on the whereabouts of bigfoot, THQ did announce today that Vigil Games’ apocalyptic action-adventure title Darksiders will be released on PC this June. “THQ is focused on bringing great product to the PC gaming audience so it was vital that we allowed Vigil the time to optimize the title for the PC platform,” THQ vice president of global brand management, Travis Plane, said in a statement. “We hope PC gamers experience the same thrill and get the same level of satisfaction assuming the mantle of WAR as the console audience did.” Darksiders was originally released in January for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

April Fools: Bieber Or Die

Pfister’s Bonaventure broke down near a truck stop outside Bakersfield, delaying the Bigfoot-hunt. No one has AAA because, according to Jake Gaskill, “it’s a Communist plot.” So I have a lot of time to look at stuff on the internet. My early pick for funniest internet April

Iraq war film is Oscar favourite

The Hurt Locker, a film following the fortunes of a bomb disposal team in Iraq, has received nine academy award nominations for an Oscar, including one for best picture and director, and is considered a favourite in both categories. While there has been no shortage of critical acclaim for the film, it has not had the same success at the box office. Making just $12m in the US and another $6m overseas, if the Hurt Locker wins an Oscar it would be one of the lowest-grossing winners ever. Al Jazeera’s Cath Turner reports from Hollywood, Los Angeles. (7 March 2010)

Obama’s Nobel Speech: Pretty Damn Good

Barack Obama ‘s Peace Prize acceptance speech started off humble, sounded kinda defensive, and it even got, weirdly, a bit Bush-y. But on the whole: it was pretty damn good! No one really remembers Nobel Prize acceptance speeches. Not even King’s, which Obama quoted a couple times.
