Michael Lohan — newly ordained as a minister and actually running a rehab facility these days — made a … pilgrimage to Manhattan strip emporium Rick’s Cabaret, where he flashed a big wad o’ cash and treated two buddies to a sizzling string of in-your-face lap dances!
Praise the Lord and pass the amoxicillin! That piece of news is from the National Enquirer, via Cele|bitchy, so it’s good enough for me.
You know Lohan’s ministry is legit because he’s working with Stephen Baldwin. They’re also trying to recruit Frank Stallone and Tom Cruise’s funny-looking cousin who sometimes shows up on Lost.
By the way, I hope it was the strippers giving those “two buddies” the lap dances. Mr. Lohan does look like he stays in shape, but…
Just days after actor Jeff Conaway claimed that Scientology helped him overcome his addictions to drugs, he says he plans to sign on for the second season of Celebrity Rehab:
“It’s not over, I’m gonna go back in.”
Conaway says he left the show before completing the program because last time the treatment facility ran out of pain medication he claims he needed. But this time around, he will focus on his reliance on painkillers.
I’m sure Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher is happy that his life will no longer be in peril.
One the one hand, good for him. Addiction isn’t an easy thing to overcome, so if he needs to do this on a public stage to cement his commitment to sobriety, fine.
But c’mon Kenickie, don’t claim that Scientology is the cure, it just perpetuates the sham.
Jerry Seinfeld is reportedly in talks to return to NBC on a new comedy series. The show has been described as “just like Curb Your Enthusiasm, but with Jerry, instead of Larry.”
But Page Six raises a good point: If he’s copying Seinfeld co-creator Larry David, who was the model for George Costanza and now the neurotic star of Curb Your Enthusiasm, then won’t this new show just be Seinfeld II: This Time It’s Reality?
I’m mostly just peeved that Seinfeld is reneging on his promises not to return to television:
[T]he 53-year-old insists he isn’t interested in reprising his role in another series of the hit show. He says, “I’m old, I’m rich and I’m tired.”
And I can’t help but wonder if this new show is a result of when Seinfeld pompously went off on Larry King in November about his career. King asked Seinfeld, “You gave it up, right? They didn’t cancel you, you canceled them.” Seinfeld exploded.
“You’re not aware of this? Are you under the impression that I got canceled? I thought that was pretty well documented. Is this still CNN? I was the number one show on television, Larry… Do you know who I am? It’s a big difference between being canceled and being number one. [He laughs incredulously, shaking his head.] Can we get a resumĂ© in here for Larry to go over?”
Sounds to me like Seinfeld’s not the only thing that’s old and tired — the schtick is, too.
