Lindsay Keeps Rolling -- Right Into Rehab

Exclusive Lohan launch: click to view photosTMZ has confirmed that Lindsay Lohan checked into Promises rehab facility under the watchful eye of her lawyer.

TMZ spotted mega-lawyer Blair Berk driving Lohan to the facility on Monday. Sources tell TMZ this is "a serious medical treatment program," not the in-and-out ruse used by other starlets in the recent past. We're told Lohan will be a resident at the facility, possibly for 30 days, but her outpatient treatment will last much longer.

It would seem Lohan's next movie project may be on the skids, at least temporarily. We were told shooting was expected to start the day after tomorrow, but that almost certainly will not happen.

UPDATE: A rep for Lindsay Lohan issued TMZ the following statement:

"Lindsay admitted herself to an intensive medical rehabilitation facility on Memorial Day. Because this is a medical matter, it is our hope that the press will appreciate the seriousness of the situation and respect the privacy of Lindsay as well as the other patients receiving treatment at the facility."

Rosie – I Was "Foster Kid" on "View"


Rosie O'Donnell -- always wanting to get the last word in -- says that she probably won't speak to "View" combatant Elisabeth Hasselbeck again after their on-air slugfest, and that being on "The View" for the past year made her feel like "a foster kid."

"I haven't spoken to her, and I think it's just as well" said Rosie on her video blog at Rosie.com. "I wrote her an e-mail, and she wrote me back, and there you have it." What's more, said O'Donnell, she compared her stint on "The View" to being "just like a foster kid for a year ... I didn't really fit into the family and now it's time for the foster kid to go back home."

Rosie also confessed that the moustache left on the photo of Elisabeth was the work of her chief writer, Janette Barber, calling it "a joke on the way out."

Mini Brit and Mini K-Fed Square Off


Mini K-Fed & Mini Britney: Click to watchMini Britney has her very own pint-sized PopoZao -- a little person version of K-Fed.

TMZ was at Beacher's Madhouse in Las Vegas this weekend where Terra Jole, aka Mini Britney Spears, rocked out to two of Ms. Spears' biggest hits, "Toxic" and "Oops ... I Did it Again," in her Brit-inspired flight attendant and red latex uniforms. It truly must be seen to be believed.

Britney Spears: Click to launch galleryMid-performance, a gold-chain, wifebeater-wearing, thugged-out Fed-alike (played by Wee Matt) took over the stage, and just like the couple's colossal counterparts, they argued! Mini Brit even offered some tender parting words to the lil' guy -- "Get the f**k outta here!"

She's good.



Cam and Jess -- Bitchfight Brewing?


Cameron Diaz and Jessica BielCameron Diaz and Jessica Biel -- the ex GF and current paramour of Justin Timberlake -- will both be presenting at the upcoming MTV Movie Awards, reports Page Six, and handlers are doing everything "to keep Cam and Jess far apart," admitting that the situation is creating "a mess."








You'll remember that Diaz got all up in JT's face when she saw him flirting with Biel at a Hollywood party back in January. But now that Timberlake is very publicly bringing sexy back with Biel, the triangle of stars will have to be very carefully managed. Says the source, "Cameron's looking a little unstable lately."


Party Favors: Posh to Becks -- No Head Tattoo for You! ... Eighties Rock Legends Rock Cirque du Soleil ... Will Keira Play Princess Diana?


Beckhams gallery: click to launch galleryVictoria Beckham has always stood by as hubby David Beckham overhauled his hairdo about, oh, every three months. But she's apparently drawn the hair-line at a tattoo of St. George and the Dragon that Becks wants on the back of his head. David, apparently, wants to make a big splash for his US soccer debut. ... It was '80s hair-metal heaven on Memorial Day at Cirque du Soleil's Beatles' "LOVE" at The Mirage in Las Vegas, when Tommy Shaw of Styx and Jack Blades of Night Ranger turned up -- and then rocked out at the Beatles Revolution lounge later on. ... Keira Knightley is being courted to play the late Diana, Princess of Wales, in a planned movie about her life based on the book "Diana and the Paparazzi," which was being shopped at Cannes.

16. bluengold,

good for you! your battle took courage and dire determination. congratulations on your ongoing victory.

frankly, i'm tired of the reckless behavior of the current actor/actress/musicians. their ongoing mishaps prove that humans are not made to receive this level of attention and admiration. part of the blame is on the diva's shoulders and the other is on ours. we've become a nation of gossip-loving mongers and it's affected the decency of our culture.

turn the cameras off these folks, refuse to follow their destruction and see if they get tired of themselves. perhaps when our culture says, "enough is enough" they'll take the step to get their lives back on track.

18. I would point fingers and call names like the next person, but there's a bigger issue here.

You'd think people like Ms. Lohan, and Ms. Spears, and everyone else who landed in rehab lately could spare themselves all this embarrassment if they simply learned from other people's mistakes. We've seen celebrities wreck their own careers--and sometimes lives--because someone didn't educate them about the pitfalls of fame. After all this time, SOMEONE must have amassed loads of information about those pitfalls; why no one made that information public is beyond me.

As a hopeful bestselling author, I would like to use my eventual celebrity status to raise awareness of these problems. I see no reason for people, like Ms. Lohan, to put themselves through the wringer when they can easily avoid it. This way, they can still do what they love without harming themselves in the process.

Oh--and the papers can go back to reporting on more relevant things, like the war in Iraq, the shambles of this latest presidential campaign, etc., etc.

19. Ok, first "NELSON #7" needs to chill and get off the poor me I am a minority kick.... Boo Hoo; I am a minority and have achieved everything I have ever wanted. Oh, and go back to school to learn how to spell. Next, Lohan is just a kid with extreme pressure on her; she will get over this with time and overcome.

20. When our society stops putting no-talents on a pedestal, maybe they will be treated like the rest of us. It must be nice to make headlines based solely on your party habits. Lohan has done nothing since her childhood movie debut & Paris Hilton has as much talent as a head of lettuce. High-priced attorneys will get them off the hook every time. Lohan is on an Anna Nicole path.

22. I think Keira Knightley will be a good, Princess Diana. Don't you guys think so? She seems to fit those Princess roles really well.

23. Who give a #&@! about any of these whores?

24. Nelson, you are a racist and intolerant idiot who should be shunned by your own race and culture.

Kayleigh, you sound like you're about 12 years old. Ignorant of everything around you except your own little circle.

You both need to get out and volunteer or help people who are different than yourselves. Perhaps the opportunity will help you grow up.

25. Poor Rosie does poor Rosie. Now whining and comparing herself to a foster kid. I doubt her own foster kids ever felt in. How do you fit in someone who isn't normal. How does someone who isn't normal like Rosie fit in with anyone. boo hoo. Poor Rosie

28. and another one bites the dust.
I've been calling and writing to NYC mayors, since BEFORE the underage Paris days, about the cool clubs serving up anything, from booze to drugs, for underage celebrites. It's always been just like today, with the underage exploits public knowledge. Lohan can announce on SNL that she's off to marquee or bungalow 8 to party, but ... ONLY "partying" happens, never consequences or enforcement. Answer and response? NOTHING! Non celebrities are often raped and even die -- it's either the victim's fault, or the parents' fault, but NEVER City Hall, the mayor or the cops!!
It's not about one underage girl. It's the system and the society that permits the behavior. EVERYONE is responsible for their actions, so she should not be given a free pass, but it's also time to wake up and to arrest the club owners.

29. Lindsay, time to grow up ! You are blessed with being rich and famous....your choice, now act like you appreciate it and stop being such a little spoiled bitch.
