Besides demonstrating an impressive knowledge of living fashion designers, Lohan also tells 'Interview' magazine in its June issue that she once begged the staff at a Chanel store to let her work there. "They're like, 'Lindsay, you're on the wrong side - that's where the salespeople stand.' And I'm like, 'No, just let me do it, please. I'll work here for the day.'"

Doherty Tries to Clean Up, Again
Kate Moss' Former Flame Flees to PortugalPete Doherty, the troubled rocker and a former boyfriend of model Kate Moss, has checked himself into a rehab clinic in Portugal. According to British music magazine NME, the Babyshambles frontman decided to undergo treatment for his various drug problems on his own volition, unlike his several previous, and abortive, attempts to get clean, as he did last November in Arizona. Earlier this month, Doherty was arrested after a syringe was found on an Easyjet flight he took from London to Barcelona. Though he was released without charges, the singer was banned from flying on the airline.
NME says that Doherty will spend the next few weeks in detox, then receive "an opiate-suppressing implant."
