Breaking Britney News!




TMZ is reporting that Britney Spears is back in rehab!! Their sources are telling them that she has checked into an in-patient center in L.A. today. Britney's mother has been seen in L.A. and I would imagine she has something to do with this. Lets hope she stays there for longer than 24 hours this time. Good luck Britney!


UPDATE: Spears' rep has released the following statement:
"Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."

Tara Conner, Miss USA, and Donald Trump have reportedly turned down a $1million offer from Playboy for Tara to appear. "She just didn't feel it was appropriate. She will not be doing Playboy," said Trump spokeswoman Rhona Graff.(Is this the same "Rhona" from The Apprentice? She's had a promotion! She's not just bossing around the Apprentices early in the morning!!). NY Daily News has all the details.

Isaiah Washington Hates Everybody Equally

Isaiah Washington is just not anti-gay, he's angry with everyone Rush & Molloy reports. Washington is in a 30 day anger management program, after calling fellow Grey's cast member TR Knight a "faggot".

Veteran stage actress Madeline McCray was there when, a source says, Washington punched out a fellow actor who was - like Washington - straight and African-American. At the time, McCray and Washington were starring in August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Fences". Isaiah's not anti-gay; he's a hothead," McCray told us. "It's that his anger leads him to say and do things he wishes he hadn't - to everybody. He's always had a lack of control over his temper.
Good luck Isaiah. You've got even more to lose now that Grey's Anatomy has won a SAG Award for best ensemble cast. It's probably just as hard to give up drinking as it is to stop punching out everyone that irritates you. You can't even say "the drink made me do it".

Miss USA: "I'm An Alcoholic"


Miss USA, Tara Conner has admitted in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that she has a problem with alcohol and addiction.

"I didn't think I had any kind of issue going into rehab. I even said, 'I'll get some free therapy,' or something like that – and that was so ridiculous," says Conner. "But I've realized I do have an issue. I suffer from the disease of alcoholism and addiction. And if there's anything that I want people to know it's the severity of this disease and what it can do to people."

Tara spent 31 days in rehab, and checked out this week. Tara's first TV interview will be on the Today Show on February 1st.

Lindsay Leaves AGAIN!!!!


What kind of rehab is Lindsay Lohan really attending? The rehab you're in while you're not really in rehab? TMZ.com has the exclusive on Lindsay's latest jaunt around town.


"Lohan, who checked into rehab nine days
ago, took her SL500 to Beverly Hills Mercedes for
service. She also stopped by the set of her new movie, "I Know Who Killed Me."
Lindsay then made one last stop -- at a grocery store -- before heading back to
Wonderland rehab facility.

When she does go back, other rehab residents
have groused to TMZ that Lindsay has her peeps come to
pamper her -- a masseur, hairstylist, makeup artist, etc. They're also upset
that Lindsay has the magic key to the front door"

Yesterday we were wondering about Lindsay's rehab and questioning the reasons Lindsay is even in rehab and also making herself very visible to the paparazzi for photographs. One big publicity stunt?

Check out our poll. Everyone was right!!

Friday Fun Poll!!

What Is Lindsay Really Up To?

Lindsay Lohan keeps busting out of rehab. Every day. Sometimes twice a day. Why?
The Wonderland Center where Lindsay is allegedly in rehab looks fantastic. Just check out the guest rooms.

If I could possibly arrange a stay there for some reason, I would not be leaving every couple of hours. I have two young children and this place looks fantastic and serene. Why does she keep leaving, evidenced here and here. To go to AA meetings? Don't they have group therapy at Wonderland? To check that she turned off the stove in her apartment? To walk her dog? To make sure her Mother is not talking to the media. It has also been reported that Lindsay left Wonderland to get her incision, from her alledged appendectomy checked.



It's all so strange and so ridiculous, like the appendectomy. Who has their appendix out and then the next day goes out partying. Just about nobody. The way that girl treats her body there is no way she'd be up and about the next day. I'm totally guessing she was in the hospital to have her stomach pumped.

Is Wonderland even the right place for her with policies like this:


WONDERLAND CENTER IS LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY...
which reflects our philosophy on recovery. Recovery does not need to isolate you from your friends, family or career. True recovery occurs when one can gradually step back into life with more happiness, self-esteem and confidence. Too many treatment centers isolate you from the real world leaving you unprepared to return.


Lindsay seems to be taking rehab very, very lightly if you ask me.. Probably because everyone around her is. Is she doing it to get attention? Is she doing it because the movie execs told her she had to for her "image"? Does she really think she's helping herself? So many questions and so few answers.

Lindsay, check yourself into The Betty Ford Clinic, get some real help and then concentrate on making great movies and showcasing your talent - which you clearly have. Then you'll get tons of attention. For all the right reasons.

Katie Rees Takes on Donald Trump - Round 1.


Former Miss Nevada USA, Katie Rees, has spoken out about Donald Trump and her forced resignation, during and interview with Extra TV.

"I asked for a second chance and it wasn't given.I would have to agree with him (Donald Trump) that they (the photos) were extremely racy, however, I'm not in rehab, I didn't test positive for illegal drugs and I wasn't caught making out with Miss Teen USA. "

When asked about Donald Trump, Katie said "I admire him. I think he’s a smart businessman. He did what he had to do; however, I do
believe there was a double standard given."

“We were just a few silly girls having a good time, just taking a picture and people were egging us on. For now I’m just working on getting out of the mold of the bad girl. Because I am not a bad girl.”

Hahahahaahah. Good luck with all that Katie. I'm sure that's really going to change The Donald's mind.

Is Star Magazine Psychic?


It was only this morning that I was asking myself this very question. See below.







Isaiah Washington Enters Rehab!!! What?!



Life and Style Magazine is reporting that Isaiah Washington, Dr Preston Burke on Grey's Anatomy, entered a rehab facility at 9:00am this morning. He had previously undergone psychological assessment at the request of ABC after making homophobic remarks. We have previously talked about the incidents here, here and here. Washington made homophobic remarks about cast member T.R. Knight last year and then again at the Golden Globes last week. Apparently he has entered rehab voluntarily.





According to an insider, Isaiah, who issued an apology for his statements on
Jan. 18, agreed to undergo a psychological assessment after talks with ABC
executives.
"ABC has told him he must enter a program to examine why he
would say such hateful words," the insider says.

This is a huge shock to me. Not only am I amazed that there is rehab for making homophobic remarks and then not really being sorry about it until it looks like you are going to lose your fantastic job on the number one TV show in the land, but that Washington actually agreed to go there. There must have been some unreal conversations going on over at ABC. I hope Washington is able to get some help for his obvious homophobia, but I don't really care whether he gets to keep his job. After all the recent incidents, last week when I watched Grey's I just didn't feel the same way about Dr Preston Burke as I used to, because I know what the actor underneath really thinks. That's a sad state of affairs.

I wonder if he's going to be in the room next door to Lindsay, that is if she ever stays in rehab for more than a few hours.

Lindsay's In Rehab - Not a moment too soon!!




US Weekly is reporting that Lindsay Lohan checked herself into rehab at 2:30pm this afternoon (Wednesday).


"Lindsay Lohan entered the luxe rehab facility Wonderland Center in Los
Angeles' Laurel Canyon on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 p.m., Us Weekly has
learned.
"I have made a proactive decision to take care of my personal
health," Lohan tells Us Weekly through her rep, Leslie Sloane-Zelnick. "I
appreciate your well-wishes and ask that you please respect my privacy at this
time."
She arrived at the facility in a blacked out SUV followed by a caravan
of two other cars. Looking somber, the actress carried a dark Balenciaga bag and
a Jamba Juice, she wore black tights, a green flannel shirt, a leather jacket,
and a black baseball cap that said "Lola.""

And not a moment too soon. Hopefully someone with a grain of sense had a long, long talk with that girl and helped her to decide to help herself. We wish her well, and hope that she can stay on the wagon. After all she is only 20 years old. Maybe Felicity Huffman or Meryl Streep were able to talk some sense into her at last. One thing I hate to see is wasted talent.
