Lindsay Lohan’s Tips on Recovery

It’s been six months since Lindsay Lohan got out of rehab. How’s she turning her life around? According to People:

“There are friends that have been hard to hang out with because they’ve gone done a different path,” the actress, 21, tells the U.K. edition of Glamour for its March issue, in her first interview since being in rehab. “But it’s hard because I’m the kind of person who wants to trust everyone…”

“I’m fine being alone during the day, but I hate being alone at night. I like having friends around me, but now I’d much rather be at home,” she says, pointing out that she now suddenly has more hours of the day to fill, which she tries to do by writing in her journal and watching TV.

As anybody who’s seen LiLo’s writing can attest, she can use all the practice she can get! But with the writers’ strike, there’s nothing good on the tube. So she’s had to find other ways to stay clean.

MSNBC, 1/3:

While in Italy to receive an honor for her film work, the actress was videotaped taking a drink from a champagne bottle on the dance floor at a New Year’s Eve Party.

Page Six, 1/29:

Lindsay Lohan “took a swig of vodka from a bottle of Grey Goose” at the Box Friday night as she partied with Stavros Niarchos, her deejay pal Samantha Ronson, Brody Jenner, and “an entourage of blond 20-somethings,” a witness says. Lohan was “trying to keep a low profile and covering her face.”

Cele|bitchy, 1/29:

According to Rush & Malloy, Lindsay was spotted downing at least two vodka cocktails at the Beatrice Inn on Friday night.

Staying sober is stressful. Can you blame her for just having a little something to take the edge off?

He Likes Big Guns and He Always Lies

romney.jpgRepublican presidential candidate Mitt “Who Can Believe He’s Still In This Race?” Romney has no idea where he stands on gun control.

On December 16, he talked about his history with the Brady Bill with Tim Russert on Meet the Press:

MR. RUSSERT: But you’re still for [the Brady Bill].

GOV. ROMNEY: Let’s describe what it is. I signed — I would have supported the original assault weapon ban. I signed an assault weapon ban in Massachusetts governor because it provided for a relaxation of licensing requirements for gun owners in Massachusetts, which was a big plus. And so both the pro-gun and the anti-gun lobby came together with a bill, and I signed that. And if there is determined to be, from time to time, a weapon of such lethality that it poses a grave risk to our law enforcement personnel, that’s something I would consider signing. There’s nothing of that nature that’s being proposed today in Washington. But, but I would, I would look at weapons that pose extraordinary lethality…

MR. RUSSERT: So the assault ban that expired here because Congress didn’t act on it, you would support?

GOV. ROMNEY: Just as the president said, he would have, he would have signed that bill if it came to his desk, and so would have I.

Then on Saturday, he said he’ll veto any gun-control bill that comes his way if he’s elected president.

I wonder if he always wears flip-flops when he handles assault weapons.

Miley Ray Cyrus Wants a Pet Dolphin

dolphin.jpgHannah Montana’s alter ego Miley Ray Cyrus is doing a great job of “keeping [her] head on [her] shoulders” by a.) legally changing her name from Destiny Hope Cyrus, and b.) announcing that she wants a pet dolphin:

“If I could get any animal it would be a dolphin. I want one so bad. Me and my mom went swimming with dolphins and I was like, ‘How do we get one of those?’ and she was like, ‘You can’t get a dolphin. What are you gonna do, like, put it in your pool?’”

Interesting also that the pool apparently belongs to Miley, not her parents. I wonder how it is to be 15 years old and the family breadwinner.

P.S. — Don’t tell Hayden.

Spice Girl Tans In The Closet

posh-spice-tan.jpgVictoria Beckham has made a lot of noise lately by jumping on the anti-sunlight campaign from designer Marc Jacobs and the New York University Skin Care Foundation. Though I love the Jacobs t-shirt (ironically short-sleeved, as my co-blogger points out), the whole effort is basically a “scare people out of the sun (and tanning bed)” campaign.

The recently crowned “Worst Dressed” celeb told the San Francisco Chronicle’s “Daily Dish” last week:

“Since we moved to California I have realized how important it is to practice safe sun for myself and to keep my three boys’ skin well protected as well. Skin cancer is a huge problem and I really wanted to help raise awareness by taking part in Marc’s initiative.”

Wouldn’t it be ironic (and hypocritical) if the often-bronze Victoria were secretly visiting tanning salons in between photo-ops?

Ask and you shall receive. From the New York Post’s “Page Six” yesterday:

The world’s most metrosexual couple apparently believes that spouses who tan together, stay together. David and Victoria Beckham have been spotted fake-baking at the Sunstyle tanning salon in West Hollywood, which prides itself on being “paparazzi-free” — but thankfully for us, not spy-free. A witness told The Post’s Don Kaplan the LA Galaxy midfielder tried to slip discreetly out of a booth smelling of “lavender, puppies and rainbows … The beds have got some sort of nozzle that sprays you with a scent so you don’t leave the booth smelling like charred flesh.”

It’s hardly a secret that tons of celebrities are fans of tanning beds. And I’m sure the NYU folks (and Marc Jacobs) are well-meaning people. But they’ve so thoroughly demonized tanning with negative hype about sun exposure and UV rays that Posh is forced to do it in secret.

Other famous bods appearing on forthcoming Jacobs shirts include Heidi Klum, Eva Mendes, Dita Von Teese, Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, and Joss Stone. Plus (sayeth FabSugar) Hilary Swank, Winona Ryder, Christy Turlington, Selma Blair, Dita Von Teese, Rufus Wainwright, and Julianne Moore.

Other than the perpetually pale Dita, I wonder how many of them are tanning closet-case self-loathers?

Winehouse Saves Beer Home

amy_winehouse_pauline_forster.jpgAmy Winehouse, who is still in rehab for her various addictions, has been lending her name to help save a historic London pub, The George Tavern. Which, of course, serves a lot of liquor.

Winehouse came up with the idea for the pub to sell “Save The George” tees at $50 (available here), which most recently have been sported by the stylish likes of Kate Moss.

However, the pub’s landlady Pauline Forster (pictured terrifyingly above with Winehouse) is wishing the “Rehab” singer would get back to business:

“She’s not well, so nobody’s allowed to contact her,” Forster said. “I spoke to her on the phone twice before she went into rehab, and I’ve spoken to her father a couple of times. He told me I could write her a letter, so I sent a handwritten one and popped a t-shirt in the post.”

So she sent a tee-shirt that promotes a drinking establishment to a very ill girl in an addiction-treatment facility? As the Brits would say, “Brilliant!”
