    Lindsay Lohan UK Elle Cover

    Ouch! ‘A pain in the arse’ Lindsay Lohan was reportedly a struggle to work with for this magazine shoot. She is still wishy washy according the ‘grain of salt’ UK rag mag The Sun. Lindsay is now getting work again after her drug and tardiness problems.  Lindsay has luckily landed another job for an upcoming Robert Rodriguez film “Machete”. Will Lindsay break her unruly habits in time to be a good little star for this movie? The Sun entitled their story about this shoot for this cover of UK’s Elle magazine as: “Li-Lo Took Us to Elle and Back”.

    The Sun said Elle’s editor-in-chief Lorraine Candy said this about LL’s unprofessional behavior on the shoot: “Lindsay Lohan wrote me a note during this month’s cover shoot. “It read: ‘Let’s do it again some time.’ I’ve put it on my office wall because, in all honesty, I don’t know if I could. “This was the most unpredictable, and confusing shoot in my magazine career. “First, Lindsay was about to arrive. Then she was in Paris. She was almost on set, then she disappeared into her hotel room. “She was ready for her interview, then she had to have a fake tan! But we got there.”

    Jamie Spears Tears Britney and Cousin Alli Sims Apart, and ‘Britney Just Wants to be Normal’!

    Britney Spears’ cousin Alli Sims tells Reveal mag, “Britney would always say, ‘Maybe I just want to be a teacher, I just want to do something on a ‘normal’ level. I’ve been something big for so long.’”

    Alli also talked about Britney’s former breakdown and said it wasn’t as bad as people thought…
    “It seemed a lot crazier than it really was because it made simple things just like going to Starbucks seem so out of hand. It was insane because of the paparazzi, but it really wasn’t that bad when you were sitting there going through it personally. I just thought it was interesting how people expected us to stay home and not go anywhere… It’s not her fault she has that many people following her around.”

    Alli, who recently released her new single, “Driving Blind,” says Britney was an inspiration for her.

    “She’s definitely one of the reasons why I recorded it… She was one of my very close friends. I do miss her a lot.” [Was? Were friends? Cousinz ain't hangin' no mo'? Maybe Britney's Dad Jamie nixed another bad seed?]

    Lady Gaga

    According to pictures and reports from thesun.co.uk, Lady Gaga has her own form of a blankie. Her traveling tea cup set! The set includes the matching cup and saucer. She brings it along with her to interviews and restaurants. So it’s always tea time for the Lady! Does she keep it in her purse?
    The Sun also just recently reported that ‘Gaga threw a fit when she realized she accidentally left the cup and saucer back at a London restaurant where she was dining.’ Their insider said, “She kicked up a stink and demanded someone get her cup and saucer back. She wouldn’t drink out of anything else. It just looked like any other cup and saucer to me and said ‘Made in China’ on the bottom. It seemed a lot of fuss over nothing.”
    The Sun reports that she did get her tea cup set back! Gaga paid a cab driver to go to the restaurant, grab the tea set and drive it all the way back to her.
    Why is Gaga so into her tea cup set?
    The Sun claims that Gaga’s rep replied with: “Lady GaGa does not want to reveal anything about the teacup itself, but drinking ginger tea is very good for singers.”

    Octo-Mom CONFIRMS She Will Exploit Her 14 Kids

    nadya Octo Mom CONFIRMS She Will Exploit Her 14 Kids

    Octo-mom, or Nadya Suleman, has laid to rest the rumor that we all knew was a reality to Life & Style magazine, she will indeed be on a reality show. The desperate mother said:

     ”Yes, it is official. I’m going to be doing a show. What I’m doing with this TV show is basically creating documentaries about the lives of my children. It’s going to be an ongoing thing, and it will follow them from now until they are 18. It’s being done by EyeWorks; they’re in the UK. It will air in the UK, and then we’ll see if the US is interested.”

    Nadya, I can speak for the US when I say, WE ARE NOT INTERESTED. Obviously nobody cares about you having 14 kids. We don’t want to watch our tax dollars being spent on you. Maybe you should move to the UK while you’re at it.

    Octomom adds:

     ”The producers will will come here to film six times a year. They’ll come by and take some footage and then they’ll go. They won’t be invading my life or my children’s lives… It will give me the opportunity to have incredible home movies that, believe me, I don’t have the time to make myself. Having this documentary crew allows me to focus on raising my children and still have great movies of them.”

    Madonna Arrives Home To Supportive Guy

    I really  hope this is true and Guy put away his “single life is the best” mentality for now. Following up on Count’s story of Madonna’s adoption issue:

    Madonna and her children left Malawi yesterday and touched down in Heathrow, where they were greeted by Guy Ritchie. David Banda carried his new toy guitar as dad lifted him up and carried him to the awaiting helicopter. On Friday after Madonna’s adoption request was denied, Guy issued a statement saying he “fully supported” Madonna’s attempts at adopting Mercy, was “saddened” at the rejection, and described her as a “fantastic and loving mother.” Despite heading back to the UK, Madonna filed an appeal soon after the ruling in Malawi, and it sounds like she has an ally in Guy if she needs it.

    Heartwarming- Burned Soldier Marries Sweetheart

    They aren’t celebrities but I felt this story was worthy of the space here. The Dailymail.co.uk reports:

    Martyn Compton, a headstrong young soldier, met Michelle Clifford in a Kent pub in January 2006, and at their very first meeting he knew she was ‘the one’.

    From that day on, the couple were virtually inseparable and, in June, Martyn picked a gold and silver engagement ring and asked Michelle to marry him. She lost no time in saying ‘yes’.

    The only cloud on their blissfully happy horizon was that Martyn – then aged just 22 – was about to be posted to Afghanistan for his first tour of duty with the Household Cavalry. Michelle, a teacher three years his senior, was characteristically practical. ‘Well, it’s your job,’ she told him.

    Five weeks later, Martyn and his colleagues drove into a Taliban ambush. Three of his friends died instantly when a rocket propelled grenade slammed into the armoured vehicle that Martyn was driving.

    Martyn, however, survived both that and a second grenade attack, but was appallingly injured in the subsequent explosions and fighting. Hovering on the brink of death, he was flown back to Britain with 75 per cent burns to his body and a badly broken leg shattered by a Taliban bullet. No one knew whether he would live.

    Are YOU Going? Katy Perry Now on Tour

    The headliner of her own show, Katy Perry, just kicked off her tour in Seattle Washington. Did you know that Katy is on tour?

    Katy Perry

    Katy Perry

    We are wondering what is was like? Good? Bad? One review from SeattleWeekly.com, written about her Seattle concert titled, “Dear Katy Perry, You’re a Hack” did not have anything positive to say about her.

    Billboard Magazine reports that “The tour will hit theaters with 1,000- to 2,000-seat capacities; there will also be an 11-date European run, including several U.K. performances, and stops in Japan.
    “Our philosophy has always been to sell places out,” says Creative Artists Agency’s Mitch Rose, who worked Perry’s tour. “We set the ticket price at $18-$20 for most markets, because we wanted to ensure a sellout. We could have charged more and we know we’re leaving money on the table, but making sure the rooms were packed was our first priority.”
    But just because the rooms are small doesn’t mean Perry will keep her show simple. “I have the guy who creates stages for Madonna working on this tour,” she tells Billboard. “I’m indulging my obsession with fruit and cats and designing all different outfits.”"
    Katy ends this story by tooting her own horn:
    “All the big pop girls come across as being so scared and so distant,” Perry says. “I understand diva-ness, but I cultivate an image as the pop star next door. You need to have some mystery and some privacy, and there are parts of me that I hold back. But at the same time, I love meeting people and e-mailing with them and blogging about funny things.”
