Lindsay Lohan is back in rehab, after her wild Memorial Day weekend. That's when the troubled starlet drove her car into the bushes, was taken to the emergency ward, got herself arrested, then went back out on the party circuit (after her trip to the emergency room, and subsequent arrest, Linds went back out clubbing, to the 944 Magazine bash - at the Roosevelt Hotel, to be precise!). She had to slow down sooner or later.

Lindsay's been in rehab before. The last time it was in the Wonderland facility. While swearing that she was going to be good, she regularly skipped out to party with, among others, Paris Hilton. Though Lohan was also attending AA, I don't think Hilton qualifies as sponsor material.

Now Linds has checked into the equally famous Promises celebrity rehab center. That was where Britney Spears did her stint, after her world famous meltdown. Why would Linds be serious now? Well this time she has charges pending. She knows how much trouble she's in, and rehab time looks good at a hearing. Her father might give that wayward young woman a stern talking to, if he wasn't already in prison!

James Haven, brother, and rumoured lover, of Angelina Jolie, is worried about his famous sister. In an exclusive interview in Closer Magazine, James says that he frightened by the amount of weight that Jolie's lost. He also believes that she's still grieving for her late mother, and that this has strained her health. Furthermore, JH says that Jolie's forays into the Third World may have affected her more deeply than anyone gives her credit for. Brother Voight comments that Jolie can no longer go into posh LA restaurants, and order freely, knowing as she does that millions of people through out the world are starving.

Well I think that Haven is right to be concerned. Jolie's dropped about 30 pounds. Recent pictures of her are ghastly: skin and bones, with the veins sticking out on her arms. That last time I saw arms like that, they were on a heroin addict! not that anyone could spot track marks on Jolie's heavily tattooed carcass!

Fresh off her libel victory against the Daily Mail, Kiera Knightley is ready for another coup. Kiera took the Brit rag to court, when they suggested that the super skinny "Pirates" actress had an eating disorder. Well Kiera wasn't going to swallow that load of crap, and brought them to court. Don't these scandal sheets know that some folk have naturally fast metabolisms? Or even skinny bones, in the words of fashionista Karl Lagerfeld. Despite looking like the inspiration for the Bobble heads, she won too! Now Kiera is being tapped to play Lady Diana!

It's no secret that Follywood prefers good ideas, to new ones. So with the success of Helen Mirren, in The Queen, Glitzburg is looking for a way to cash in on royal bio mania. The thinking is that if a withered old crone like Mirren can turn stodgy old Queen E, in her dowdy duds, to box office gold, then just imagine what a hot chick could do playing the People's Princess! The mental wheels turn in predictable directions.

Well eating disorders aside, Kiera and Lady Di do have their similarities: they're both Brits, they both look great in designer clothes, and they both look like they haven't eaten recently. Kiera even has a facial resemblance to the late princess. So this idea might not be as bad as you'd expect from a rip off.

Look out for some youtube calibre pyrotechnics at the upcoming MTV Movie Awards. Some genius of logistics has booked Justin Timberlake, his current steady Jessica Biel, and his ex Cameron Diaz, at the same event! Though not exactly the Three Musketeers, Justin starred in Shrek 3 with Diaz, and never goes anywhere without Biel. That adds up to an awkward situation!

To complicate matters, Jessica is the one who busted up Timberlake's romance with Diaz. Spies say that Biel flirted heavily with Timber, when they 1st met. The again Diaz pulled that same stunt, when Timbers was with Britney. Is turn about fair play? Now I'm not saying that Justin plays the heart breaker game, but he is leaving a trail of wreckage behind him.

Though Diaz is apparently happy with her new man, Mindfreak's Chris Angel, observers are anticipating a clash of Hollywood sized egos.

Kevin Reilly, head of programming at NBC, has been canned. That network has taken a nose dive, since it's must see TV days. Just before the bottom fell out of their prime time hegemony, NBC replaced their top guy, putting former talent agent Jeff Zucker in charge. Some questioned the wisdom of this, since he had no history in program development. Time seems to have borne that theory out, since apart from The Office, and My Name is Earl, NBC doesn't have must to offer. Meanwhile former underdog ABC is eating up the ratings!

Well some one's head has to roll, and it ain't gonna be the boss's. Well not right away, anyway. So Reilly is out, and former agent Ben Silverman is in. He even has a catchy new title, like Head of West Coast Operations, or some such. The bottom line is that he's in charge of developing NBC's new line up.

Though Zucker, is touting this as a major coup, the bottom line is that this is a power play. Silverman, and his new assistant Matt Graboff, will report directly to Zucker. Not surprisingly, Zucker can't say enough sweet things about his new golden boy. However this puts another agent sans program development experience in the cat bird seat. So if this doesn't work, Zucker may be the next to go!

Entertainment Trivia: Return of the Jedi. Posters and other merchandising materials were created with the "Revenge of the Jedi" title, only to be recalled before the movies' release because George Lucas decided that Jedi do not seek revenge.

Now I'm sure that Mischa Barton only had a "couple of cocktails", just like her rep said.
