Lindsay Won't Be Boozing on 21st, Says Mom


The words "sensible" and "Lohan" aren't normally associated with one another, but her mom said yesterday that she's not only going to be on the wagon for her b-day, she's still going to be in rehab.

Self-proclaimed "White Oprah" Dina Lohan told reporters in a Long Island court yesterday that Lindsay will be doing "extended care" at Promises in Malibu, and suggested that she could still be doing rehab when her July 2 birthday rolls around, but won't actually celebrate at Promises.

Anna Biopic Erases Mama Virgie from Story


The latest Anna Nicole Smith TV movie won't have the large-and-not-in-charge Virgie Arthur in the script because, according to the woman playing Anna, "she just doesn't deserve to be in the film." Willa Ford tells Steppin' Out (via Rush & Molloy), "If there is one thing Anna wouldn't want, it's her mother in a movie about her life." Ford, for her part, says her own relationship with her folks is a whole lot better – so good, in fact, that they told her what she could and couldn't show in Playboy. 'Cause that's good parenting.

Germany Says "Nein" to "Cult"-ist Cruise


The German government has banned Tom Cruise and the producers of "Valkyrie," the movie Cruise is making about the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler, because of the star's Scientology ties. A spokesman for the Defense Ministry says that the filmmakers won't be allowed to film at German military sites if the famed Count Stauffenberg (the leader of the plot) "is played by Tom Cruise, who has publicly professed to being a member of the Scientology cult." The film is slated for a 2008 release.

Party Favors: The New (Old) Indiana Jones, Deconstructed ... Tara Loves Her Clams ... Kelsey Sells to Hayek


The intrepid funnymen at ThighsWideShut.org have seen the first photo of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones in the fourth installment of the series, and they've made several trenchant observations, among them the fact that Ford/Jones' unbuttoned shirt is a show of solidarity towards Anne Heche. Puzzled, let them explain. ... Tara Reid had a bivalve-licious dinner at N9NE Steakhouse at The Palms, sharing shellfish platters and other delights, before moving on to Moon Nightclub. ... Kelsey Grammer sold his Bel-Air mansion to Salma Hayek and rich guy fiancé Francois Henri Pinault for $20 million, says Page Six. What, no celeb discount?

1. I'm sure the DiLo Bashers will be out in full force - but once again, DiLo takes the high road. I think Stedman's influence on the "White Oprah" (I'd watch a talk show hosted by DiLo) has been profound and has finally removed the last traces of that lunatic ex-husband from the Lohan family. God bless DiLo - we're rooting for you and LiLo.

2. Oh please like The Germans are free from mind control..What a joke.

Lindsay Lohan needs more than an extended stay at rehab..She needs to be there for life..I would take the Hiltons over the abusive Lohan family any day!! Good Luck Paris, stay away from all those losers and sychophants..Get new friends!

3. Germany hasn't changed much over the years, has it? Think our way, or else!

Personally, I think our country was founded on the premise of freedom of religion and Tom Cruise and John Travolta and the entire country should be able to practice whatever religion makes them happy. Being persecuted for one's beliefs is just plain wrong. I've heard all the slams against those practicing that Scientology religion and while it's not something I would choose, everyone should have the freedom to make their own choice. Isn't that America?

4. Good for the Germans! It is only right that they preserve the good name of Count Staffenberg. If they choose to do it that way, it's their right.

5. Cult or NOT Germans are intolerance! They're showing their true color acting like the Nazi they are. You can take Hitler out of the Germany but not Hitler out of the Germans.

6. Germany has changed. Maybe you should read the problems the Scientologists cause here before you judge. And for the record, i believe the Europeans are far more liberated and enjoy many more forms of freedom than us, back home in the States.

7. i am so freaking glad someone has enough guts to tell this idiot "NO" once in awhile. it has nothing to do with intolerance #7, it has to do with a country protecting their right. tom cruise thinks he's the second coming or something and obviously he is not. too many people bow down to this imbecile and i, for one, applaud germany

8. I'm sick of TOM Cruise..and his oh so happy marriage (barf) gag......I'm glad someone said NO to him.....

9. Crazy germans
first, Tom didn't ask for shooting, as reported on Reuters.
second, nobody film over there, it's forbidden; they want publicity over the biggest movie star
shame, it's the IV Reich!

10. Finally someone bans those crazy bastards from something. Seriously organized religion is one of the biggest causes of discrimination. Why can't we all just have faith that there's someone good up there trying to help as much as they can. Here's to the spirit in the sky, that's where I'm gonna go when I die!!!! Oh yeah!!!!

11. hora,

Germany is not protecting their 'right'.

They aren't stopping the film from being shot - hell, they aren't even trying.

They are just saying it can't be shot there, because they don't like what this one person believes.

If you close your eyes, you can almost hear the goosestepping.

Posted at 11:16AM on Jun 26th 2007 by protecting what?

12. Don't let the Scientology minions out there spin this in their favor.

If only the U.S. would follow Germanys lead and revoke Scientologies status as a "religion" we could end this debate here and now.

Scientology is not, I repeat, is not a religion.

13. First, the son of Count Stauffenberg does not support Tom Cruise portraying his father. He is German nobility. Whatever your feelings about Germany or Germans, no matter how stereotypical they are, the family has a right to disagree over which actor represents their family member in a large scale media production. It's their right to disapprove vocally.

Regarding the religious point of view, you can't attach the American perspective to another country. The Reformation started in Germany. I also believe the country's official religion (or that of the majority) is Christian. Paying homage to "Lord Xenu" goes against one of the top 3 commandments. It's their right to ban Scientology if they believe it goes against everything they believe in as Christians. To them, it may be the same as having an athiest play Christ in "Passion of the Christ", an NRA activist playing James Brady, or a vocal racist playing Abraham Lincoln.

The Germans and Stauffenberg's family can't stop the film from being made, but they have the right to disagree with it and voice their outrage over it.

14. Willa Ford! Who gives you the right to say Virgie does not deserve to be in a movie about Annas life? Virgie did not agree with Annas way of living, The partying, drugs and moochers who were a part of Annas life. But they deserve to be in the movie??? The people who watched her die??? Virgie loved her DAUGHTER! Who are you to say she did not! Who are you to say anything about Annas MOTHER! Virgie would not want to be in a movie that will be full of drugs partying, lies and deceit! Her daughter and grandson have died because of the way Anna lived and who she or Howard chose as her friends! Back off Virgie! A lot of good and decent people will not even watch this movie. You are a sad person for what you have said and I hope you read this and comment back to me personally.
