Lindsay Lohan is at the center of a new controversy after news emerged of an alleged scuffle between the star and a staffer at the Betty Ford Clinic. The alleged altercation took place when the troubled star was caught sneaking back into the center by staff after an alleged drinking session. Dawn Holland, who claimed to have been assaulted by LiLo, released details of the story to TMZ, prompting the clinic to fire her. Watch an animated report NMA via YouTube below.
Lindsay Lohan is reportedly “beyond upset” to be named one of the “most provocative” celebrities by ‘Showbiz Tonight’. The HLN show discussed the situation, with A.J. Hammer wondering if LiLo even knew what the word provocative means before listing all the incidents that qualified her. E! News’ Ken Baker and entertainment journalist Kelly Carter then joined in to offer their thoughts. “Maybe, she’s angry because she didn’t win, A.J. She wanted to be number one,” Baker said about the honor that went to Lady Gaga. “You, guys, just had her in the top five. Honestly, look, I mean, the bottom line is it was a provocative year for her. And I think that if she`s still in this denial stage or she can`t even acknowledge that, then 2011 is going to be a very active year for all of us.” Watch the segment, aired Monday (December 13) via CNN.com below.
Lindsay Lohan appears committed to the whole “Making Up With My Father” thing – because the troubled starlet and her father Michael Lohan made time for a little midday movie date near to the Betty Ford Center. “I think everyone had a part in it,” Michael said when asked about his influence on LiLo getting help.

Lindsay Lohan is due to stay in rehab until January 3rd at the Betty Ford Clinic, but director Matthew Wilder wants to help the recovering starlet get a “work pass” so that she can fly to Los Angeles and get involved with the ‘Inferno’ project. “Lindsay is happy and I have been sending her some scripts starring several actors that we would like to cast alongside her in our movie,” Wilder said, according to The Sun. “She just received them so we are still waiting for her feedback but we really want her to be part of the whole experience even although she is not physically here in Los Angeles.”
LiLo did get a chance to step out of the clinic on Thursday (Novmeber 11) to shop at a mall in Palm Desert with some friends.
Lindsay Lohan had an emotional meeting in rehab with her father Michael, asking the 50-year old to visit her at California’s Betty Ford clinic after shutting him out of her life in recent years. “It was an emotional reunion – there were hugs, kisses and even a few tears when Michael and Lindsay first saw each other,” a source told The Sun.
Lindsay’s dad was unusually discreet with the press after the meeting. “I have pledged not to comment about anything relating to my daughter,” he said. “However, I will say I am an incredibly proud father tonight.”
Last night’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ featured show host Emma Stone appearing on ‘The View’ skit as someone she bares a strong resemblance to, Lindsay Lohan, who appeared “with special permission from the Betty Ford Clinic”. The faux LiLo told the female panel, “I’m way to busy to go to jail. I have a career.” Watch the comedy clip via NBC.com below.
‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ joked about the book Lindsay Lohan has been reading during her latest stint in rehab called ‘The Power of Rest’. Kimmel said he’d seen this book before and figured out it was in the Skymall catalog and was a book with a hidden compartment to store a flask.
The comedy clip at YouTube has since been removed.
After getting released from jail over the weekend, UsMagazine.com hears Lindsay Lohan was trying to sell the first photo of herself wearing a court ordered SCRAM anklet. “Lindsay Lohan was calling around the pap agencies all weekend trying to get $10,000 up front to pose up in the SCRAM bracelet,” an insider revealed. “All of the major players passed, and she ended up doing the setup with a small agency.” The 24-year-old eventually worked out a deal with AKM Images.
Lindsay was being charitable though on Sunday, visiting the Dream Center homeless shelter in Los Angeles with her mother Dina, sister Ali and business manager Lou Taylor. She told her Twitter followers (@lindsaylohan) that those same photographers she courted earlier made the visit a lot less enjoyable, hinting that outgoing California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger should intervene:
What a great place The Dream Center is here in LA… had a nice time there today, it’s so important to give back. I feel blessed.
All accept the paparazzi hitting one of the ministry guys. They need to be stopped. I think this is a job for The Terminator…
X17 obtained photographs of Lindsay Lohan holding a syringe near her arm and making out with Paris Hilton in images believed to have been snapped in 2007. “These images of her with the syringe are terrifying,” a source told News of the World. A friend of the 24-year-old told the British tabloid, “Lindsay needs help desperately. She has needed help for years.” Check out the shocking snaps at X17Online.com.
Pacific Rim Video talked to Demi Lovato about her involvement in Padres Contra El Cancer at the El Sueno de Esperanza 25th Anniversary event held at the Hollywood Palladium on Thursday (September 23). “I’ve had cousins with cancer, a Latino cousin with cancer, and it really effected our family, so I feel like if I can give back to what helped our family, then I’m doing as much as I can,” Lovato said on the red carpet.
