Having just emerged from her sixth trip to rehab, where she successfully completed a court ordered 90 day treatment plan, Oprah was keen to get to the bottom of the star's problems with alcohol, directly asking her. "Are you an addict?"

"Yeah," Lohan answers. "What is your drug of choice?" Oprah asks. "Alcohol," Lohan says. "That, in the past, was a gateway to other things for me… I tried cocaine with alcohol."



The Mean Girls actress added that this time around she's determined to stay on the right track:
"As long as I stay honest with myself and just do the work that I’m willing to do and have been willing to do and am doing, then there’s nothing that can stand in my way of that. I’m my own worst enemy, and I know that and I’ve been.”



“I haven’t felt the way I feel now in a very long time,” Lindsay said. “I feel whole again. I have such a desire to want to keep this feeling and want to stay this way. I’m willing to do whatever it takes. I really want to be on set again, that’s what feeds me!”

Lindsay Lohan escapes injury after major car crash

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Lindsay Lohan escaped injury in a major car crash on Friday after her Porsche collided with andump truck on a Southern California highway.

Police said Lohan was driving her black Porsche with an unidentified male passenger on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica on her way to the set of her latest movie project, and collided with a dump truck.

The actress and her passenger were taken to the hospital as a precaution, and released shortly after. Neither Lohan or the driver of the truck were under the influence of drugs or alcohol, police said.

"Lindsay was involved in an automobile accident today on her way to the set....She is fine and was released less than two hours later and is already headed back to the set to resume work. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the accident," Lohan's publicist, Steve Honig, said in a statement.

Celebrity news website TMZ posted pictures of Lohan's Porsche following the incident, showing a crushed front and smashed windows.

Lohan, 26, is forging ahead with a comeback after a string of legal and personal troubles since 2007, including stints in jail, rehab and court. She was released in March from almost five years of formal probation stemming from a 2007 drunken driving and cocaine possession arrest.

The actress is currently playing late screen legend Elizabeth Taylor for a Lifetime TV movie "Liz & Dick," based on Taylor's love affair with actor Richard Burton.

Bob Welch

Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist and singer Bob Welch has been found dead in Nashville of an apparent suicide, according to the Nashville Police Department. The musician, who worked with the band in the early 1970s and later had hit solo songs such as "Ebony Eyes," was 66 years old. Nashville Police Department spokesman Don Aaron said in a statement, "The police department responded to his address at 12:18 p.m., where Mr. Welch was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest." Aaron added that Welch's wife indicated that he had been suffering with health issues. A suicide note was found in the home. Welch was a member of Fleetwood Mac as the band was transitioning away from being a British blues rock band and into the 1970s powerhouse that it became. As a singer and guitarist, Welch was lesser known than the pair who replaced him -- lead vocalist Stevie Nicks and guitarist Lindsey Buckingham -- but his work with fellow band mates including Mick Fleetwood and John and Christie McVie prior to Nicks' arrival on albums "Future Games," "Bare Trees" and "Heroes are Hard to Find," among others, set the tone for what was to come. Welch left the band amid the chaos of the McVie divorce, just prior to mainstream success with the 1975 album "Fleetwood Mac" and then "Rumors," Fleetwood Mac's acclaimed 1977 hit album. The singer went solo, and scored a massive hit with "Ebony Eyes" in 1977. The album from which it was culled, "French Kiss," featured a number of former Fleetwood Mac members, as well as a rendition of "Sentimental Lady," a song originally recorded with Mac but reworked by Welch. Welch was born in Los Angeles in 1945, the son of successful Hollywood movie producer Robert Welch, best known for his work with Bob Hope on a series of "Paleface" films. A full obituary will appear in the L.A. Times.

Amanda BynesAmanda Bynes Charged With DUI, Asks Obama to Get Cop Fired

Amanda Bynes is taking her DUI case straight to the Commander in Chief. On Tuesday, the 26-year-old "What I Like About You" actress was formally charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs following an April 6 run-in with a cop car. E! News reports that Bynes is also accused of refusing a police officer's request to complete a chemical test to determine what substances were in her system. But Bynes isn't going to take her charges lying down. After being charged, she Tweeted President Barack Obama to plead her case. "Hey @BarackObama... I don't drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me," she wrote in a tweet to the President's re-election campaign Twitter account. "I also don't hit and run. The end." About a month after her her April 6 incident, Bynes was involved in an alleged hit-and-run in Hollywood, according to TMZ. She sideswiped another vehicle while she was trying to pass on the right in her Range Rover SUV. Though the actress continued driving after making contact, she reportedly cooperated with police when they caught up with her, telling authorities she didn't realize she had struck the other car. An arraignment for Bynes' DUI case is scheduled for Wednesday morning; because it is a misdemeanor charge, only her lawyer is expected in court.

Lindsay Lohan Lindsay Lohan suffers wardrobe malfunction while filming

While filming one of her first scenes Monday for the Lifetime movie, Liz & Dick, Lindsay Lohan had a wardrobe malfunction similar to Janet Jackson’s except it wasn’t aired live. The paparazzi were on location, as usual, to capture Lindsay’s first comeback. In the movie, Lohan, 25, plays Elizabeth Taylor and True Blood star Grant Bowler, 43, plays Richard Burton, who Taylor married and divorced twice. The scene in which the incident happened was aboard a boat in Marina Del Rey, CA. The location is supposed to represent the Bay of Naples in Italy, a place where the famous couple vacationed. Her wardrobe malfunction happened after she was trying to push Bowler away from her in a dramatic fight scene. If LiLo wasn’t wearing a low-cut revealing dress, her left breast wouldn’t have popped out. The New York Post reports that Lohan looked angry and was terrified that it happened. Afterwards, she went inside the boat to readjust her dress and came out laughing. Executive Producer, Larry Thompson told E! News, “A little first-day jitters for everyone, but it went well.” He also said Lindsay was in a good mood. Last month Thompson told E! News what Lohan's and Bowler's first reading was like: “The chemistry exploded...It was just Fourth of July firecrackers going off in the room.” Hopefully their chemistry will be reflected on-screen when Liz and Dick premieres on Lifetime in November.

Queen LatifahQueen Latifah Denies Homosexual Orientations

Queen Latifah made a recent appearance at the LGBT Pride Festival in Long Beach California and this led to numerous suppositions in relation to her sexual orientation. According to Entertainment Weekly, the singer released a statement after the parade to explain people that being part of a gay parade doesn’t necessarily make you gay. A lot of discussions have been made in relation to Queen Latifah’s sexuality ever since she first started her musical career. The “U.N.I.T.Y” interpreter never made any explicit declarations because she prefers to keep her personal life away from the prying eyes of the media. Despite this, her recent appearance at the LGBT Pride Festival in Long Beach, California was described by many as an indirect confession of her lesbian orientation. Queen Latifah issued a statement after the parade telling people that she doesn’t think one needs to be gay to support homosexual parades. As to her orientation, the singer reminded everyone that she never liked discussing her private life with the public and it’s not her intention to do it in the future, either. The interpreter further explained that she likes gay parades because she considers them to be incredibly fun. As a matter of fact, Latifah’s first concert was in a gay club. The New Year’s Eve concert which was hosted in San Francisco enabled the artist to gain $10,000. In her opinion, the best weapon people have to fight against all the hatred and bullying is to love each other. This is why Latifah showed up on stage during the Long Beach parade. Even after the Tuesday statement there are fans who still consider that Latifah is gay and needs to come out of the closet. At the opposite end, however, there are people who defend the singer telling everyone that she has the right to keep her sexual orientations private, no matter what these may be. Other fans have taken to the Twitterverse to tell Latifah that they would still admire her whether she were gay or not.

I think Lindsay Lohan did a pretty good job at this shoot especially since their main theme is to make it look like candids, it's almost as if she's a totally different person.

Harpers Bazaar

If you haven't had enough of Lindsay Lohan, well try reading this very long article of nonsense brought to you by Elle Magazine. Lindsay is wearing a satin dress from Donna Karan Collection with jewelries from De Beers, Neil Lane and H.Stern. I'm so sick of Lindsay but then again I can't help but post stories of her (it's my job), she's just so overrated.

Lindsay Lohan's father Michael is too scared to watch his daughter's new movie - after storming out of a screening of her last film Georgia Rule when she appeared in a sex scene.

Estranged dad Michael can't bear to watch the 21-year-old in love scenes and fears I Know Who Killed Me will leave him fleeing the movie theatre in tears.

He tells In Touch magazine, "I go to every one of her movies. I had to leave Georgia Rule - during a couple of scenes I ran out of the theater.

"I don't want to see her in a sexual context; even if she's acting, she's my daughter first. And I Know Who Loved Me (sic) - I don't even know if I'll go to see that. If someone goes, and warns me ahead of time, 'Michael, get out of the theater - something's coming up,' then I will."

Lindsay Lohan’s jail sentence might present a little problem in her conquest of David Beckham. According to The Sun Lohan has made a bet that she can do it with the soccer star by December:

She has set herself a deadline of December, knowing that Victoria is away on tour with the Spice Girls this winter.

The huge bet shows just how confident she is that Goldenballs will fall for her beach body.

A source said: “Lindsay and her pals have been talking about the Beckhams’ arrival non-stop.

“They all reckon David is gorgeous and Lindsay set the challenge to get stuck in.

“The rich girls all want to meet Becks.”

The Rad Report

Lindsay Lohan is heading back to rehab just days after completing a lengthy stay at Promises in Malibu, California.

The news comes after the troubled actress was arrested for drink driving and drug possession on Tuesday morning (24Jul07).

Lohan was pulled over by police after she was reported for driving erratically through the streets of Santa Monica, California, in hot pursuit of a car being driven by the mother of an assistant, who quit on Monday (23Jul07).

Police have confirmed the former assistant's mother was the person who reported Lohan, calling authorities on her cellphone.

Lohan had been celebrating a friend's birthday in Venice, California.

She was charged with a DUI and then police reportedly found cocaine in her pockets when she was booked.

Lohan has cancelled a scheduled appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where she was due to promote her new movie I Know Who Killed Me, and she'll also be a no-show at the film's premiere later this week, according to reports.

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been dumped by on/off lover Calum Best - because he doesn't like her being sober.

The model, the son of late soccer legend George Best, is not ready to cut down on his partying and thinks he is no longer suited to the 'Mean Girls' actress, who is teetotal after completing a rehab programme for alcoholism.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Calum called Lindsay last week and said he was finding her post-rehab existence dull and that he didn't want to give up partying.

"He loves Lindsay but he's simply not in the same place anymore."

Lindsay - who began dating Calum earlier this year - has been wearing a special ankle bracelet to monitor her alcohol consumption since officially finishing a 45-day stint at Malibu's Promises rehab clinic on July 13.

Looks like Lindsay Lohan is back to her partying way, at least this time she's not drinking alcohol.
