Lindsay Lohan -- Luscious, Not Lush

Published | Updated

Just days after Lindsay Lohan's mother tattled that her wayward spawn was attending AA meetings, TMZ can confirm that La Lohan is officially on the wagon.

The teen queen was spied by TMZ Monday night in Margaritaville; Casa Vega in the L.A. suburb of Sherman Oaks, where Lohan sipped on cola during the evening while her entourage pounded down strawberry margaritas. She ate most of her two taco meal, and was polite to patrons who approached her. Her only bad habit: smoking. One vice at a time.

We caught up with Lindsay Wednesday night, leaving a salon and looking every inch the movie star in a grey trenchcoat and black heels. She then got all dolled up and went to Teddy's nightclub, where she dumped the coat and entered the Roosevelt Hotel. Keep up the good work, Linds!

Winona Caught (Paying for Clothes)

Published | Updated

Winona Ryder celebrated the five-year anniversary of her shoplifting arrest with -- what else? -- a shopping trip!

Ryder and an unidentified companion swept through a department store at the Beverly Center yesterday, trying to evade the glare of a cameraman's lens. Winona gets a rather wide-eyed look from one clerk while she handles a hanger, then has her friend carry the bags out of the store. We're assuming she paid for the Starbucks coffee with which she attempts to hide her face.

On December 12, 2001, Ryder was arrested at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills for attempting to filch thousands of dollars worth of clothes and accessories. She was convicted of felony grand theft and vandalism, but the charges were later reduced to misdemeanors.

It's unclear whether the merchandise was pre-emptively chained to the rack prior to Ryder's arrival.

Lane Garrison's Other Car Crash -- New Details

Published | Updated

TMZ has obtained details of "Prison Break" star Lane Garrison's other accident, which was caught on tape... from the man whose car was on the other end of the wreck.
The accident occurred outside of Hyde nightclub in West Hollywood on October 20, just seven weeks before Garrison was behind the wheel of his Land Rover when it slammed into a tree in Beverly Hills., killing 17-year-old high school student Vahagn Setian.

John Collins, who had been at the Laugh Factory that night, tells TMZ he was standing on the corner waiting for the valet to retrieve his black Infiniti M35 when he witnessed Lane Garrison's white Land Rover rear end his car at a stop light.

Nicole Comes Out of Hiding

Published | Updated

Today, one day after her DUI bust, Nicole Richie emerged from new boyfriend Joel Madden's house in Glendale, Calif., and found a throng of paparazzi waiting for her. She then went back into the home to cover herself in a purple blanket. It didn't take a big blanket.

Madden, lead singer of the band Good Charlotte (and ex of Hilary Duff), lives very close to where Richie was busted -- which might explain why she was in the area on the night of her wrong-way freeway ride.

Hot New "Bar" in Town

Leonardo DiCaprio's new girlfriend, Bar Refaeli, just touched down in Los Angeles.

The Israeli model is just as beautiful as Leo's previous Brazilian model, Gisele Bundchen. We could wait a long time before DiCaprio dates anyone who isn't impossibly lovely.

Until then, we'll just keep tabs on each trade-in. Oy, this one's pretty!

The stoic supercouple known as Brangelina was in Manhattan this weekend, with flashbulbs following their every footfall.

The charitable megastars were photographed arriving at Robert DeNiro's New York home -- and they didn't seem any more pleased with the paparazzi than they were before they left for India.

Darth Spice

Published | Updated

Victoria Beckham, dressed as an intergalactic supervillain, was on a mission last night at LAX. Apparently, she's had enough of TomKat wedding parties too, and is fleeing the country for Tatooine.

The former Spice Girl arrived at the airport in head-to-toe black, with a black hat, boots and even a cape to finish off the Vaderesque mess.

Beckham attempted to hide behind a giant collar and sunglasses, but a trail of paparazzi gave her away. Can you take a light sabre as carry-on? Better check with Snoop.

Thorny Attendant Bugs Rose

Published | Updated

Rose McGowan upstaged by a gas station attendant?

The fiery hot "Scream" queen was pumping gas at a 76 Station on Robertson Blvd. in West Hollywood, where she was harangued by a chatterbox attendant who bragged about being on E!, "Entertainment Tonight" and in the National Enquirer. Clearly a celebrity in his own mind.

McGowan was totally cool with the geezer when he asked the actress for some tips on how to avoid the paparazzi. Her response: "Don't go down Robertson, how's that for a clue?" adding that convertibles are photog magnets as well.

Lohan, take note.

Dude Looks Like a Crazy

Published | Updated

Fashion-challenged Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler was in true form as autograph hunters found him in New York sporting what appears to be some type of hideous Bavarian ceremonial fur-lined coat.

After signing a few photos, Tyler became less than thrilled with all the attention and snarked, "Oh man, just let me get in my f**kin' car ... let me just get my s*** and go." Sure, go.

As if Tyler weren't odd enough already, the 58-year-old rocker claimed to enter a car only from the passenger side -- it's his "good luck side." Just go already!

Betty White Hot

Published | Updated

Octogenarian hottie Betty White was on the town last night wearing an unrevealing Kermit-green ensemble, and nearly causing a fan melee.

The sexy blonde "Boston Legal" babe was an honoree at last night's Museum of Television & Radio "She Made It" event in Beverly Hills. Our favorite Golden Girl and animal rights activist set the paparazzi into a frenzy as she politely signed autographs for fans.

Later that evening, Betty was not seen at Hyde.

Petra Nemcova: Covered Girl

Published | Updated

Supermodel Petra Nemcova took it all off Tuesday in the streets of Manhattan, where weather conditions were not quite the balmy breezes that the Sports Illustrated beauty is accustomed to.

Shooting a commercial for Hewlett-Packard, Nemcova wore only a revealing halter-style dress as she paraded the sidewalk in near freezing temperatures.

The super-hot girlfriend of singer James Blunt apparently had no trouble staying warm.

Livin' Large at VH1's "Big in '06"

Published | Updated

A spectacular smorgasbord of stars -- from the sublime to the ridiculous and everywhere in between -- congregated backstage at the VH1 "Big in '06" Awards at Sony Studios , and TMZ was there exclusively to capture all the action.

Our man G-Hollywood unleashed his camera in the green room, and we were delighted to learn that rapper (and "Pimp My Ride" overlord) Xzibit likes us (and certain shots of Britney Spears too). Elsewhere, Eva Longoria and BFF Mario Lopez huddled in a corner, the Hoff puffed his chest, Danny Bonaduce introduced us to his lovely daughter, and Ant (of "Last Comic Standing" fame) offered to show us his full Britney.

We caught something that happens about once a season on "24" -- Kiefer Sutherland smiling -- as well as a teleported Masi Oka from "Heroes," the brilliant Ron Jeremy, baller John Salley, comic D.L. Hughley, Ice-T, a solo Lance Bass, the Hulkster, Weird Al Yankovic, and -- yes, boys, she's real -- YouTube starlet Lonelygirl15, aka Jessica Rose.

You can catch all the celeb-studded action tonight at 5 PM, Tuesday, December 5 at 8 PM, Wednesday, December 6 at 1 AM, Thursday, December 7 at 6 PM, Friday, December 8 at 11 AM, all, of course, on VH1.

George Clooney & Britney: "I Don't Think So"

Published | Updated

Is the Sexiest Man Alive going to party with Brit? Don't worry ... he won't.

George Clooney, party pal of Danny DeVito, was spotted leaving his midtown hotel in NYC last night, when photogs asked if he'd be partying with Britney when he returned to Los Angeles.

Clooney's response: "I guess not, huh." The gray-haired hunk joked about his late night carousing with DeVito, saying, "Apparently, he can't drink with me, that's the problem."

We're disappointed. Gorgeous George would have been a vast improvement over Paris.

Dude, Where's My Car? I'm Jeff Freakin' Gordon!

Published | Updated

How tough a town is New York? Even Jeff Gordon, a man who drives cars for a living, can't find a ride home.

A slew of auto racing's biggest stars -- Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jimmie Johnson and Gordon -- were in the Big Apple last night to rock the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Champion's Party at that ever-throbbing cauldron of celebdom, Marquee, along with Jamie Foxx, Gina Gershon, and Robert Iler, among others. When Gordon emerged from the club with new wife Ingrid, he wandered Tenth Avenue looking for his car, wearing a peculiarly lost expression on his face. Finally, his carriage arrived -- a Benz.

Jeff -- next time, take matters into your own hands. You're a driver. Just grab a car. Drive.

Keira and Rupert: To Be or Not To Be?

Published | Updated

London tabs can't make up their mind about Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend. First, they were engaged. Then they weren't. That is the question.

And this doesn't help -- they were spotted yesterday taking a stroll in West London before jumping into a cab.

We're not body language experts, but these two don't look like they're madly in love.
