What happens when you steal something from Lindsay Lohan? You’re about to find out!
CELEB ENCOUNTERS
Selena & The Weeknd
“My friend was at the airport waiting for The Strokes last week when she heard a huge crowd going for Selena Gomez& The Weeknd. Selena was visibly distressed and kept crying out, ‘Please stop! No pictures!’ No one gave two shits about The Weeknd, though.” - Off-Anonymous
Shia LaBeouf
“My friend was out last night at Pineapple Hill Saloon and Grill in Sherman Oaks and saw Shia Labeouf sloppy drunk with his wife. He was talking about gun laws with the waiters. He walked over to my friend’s table to apologize for being drunk. He shook my friend’s hand and asked him if he owned a gun. He continued to talk about guns and gun laws and then walked away.” - Off-Anonymous
Not Surprising
“My friend’s sisters lived in Chicago for a while and had sex with Cole Sprouse - just a one night stand thing, but he ended up giving her herpes.” - Anonymous
Lilo in Training
“I know you’ve stopped covering Bella Thorne, but she is making life a living hell for production on the set of a movie in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She asked for a bagel with vegan cream cheese and bacon (Real bacon? Wtf) and pitched a fit when vegan cream cheese was not available (Filming in a rural location of the province, 100 miles away from the closest city). Craft services offered plenty of other suggestions (including vegan bacon, but no, she wanted the real deal - but NEEDED vegan cream cheese) and was shut down each time. She has also demanded to be able to smoke in the production trailer, causing my friend in set to lose his 500 dollar deposit. Her trailer is also a disgusting mess, with cigarette butts and clothing strewn about. Though I’m from the quiet city of Winnipeg, my fiancé is from Los Angeles and works in the industry. His business partner (an ex CAA agent, now executive producer) is well aware of her antics on set. He informed me that her behaviour is well known in certain circles and that she won’t last long the way she’s acting. In fact, he immediately knew who I was talking about before I even mentioned her by name.” - Off-Anonymous
Sir Mix-a-Lot
“Around 2003 or 2004 I went to see the band The Presidents of the United States of America at some music venue in Seattle. It wasn’t super packed, but because I was under 21 I had to stand in a special area overlooking the main floor. From up high, I noticed that Sir Mix-a-Lot was there standing outside the women’s restroom. He spent the entire show right next to the door, saying 'Hey’ to almost every woman who walked in or out.” - Off-Anonymous
JL*w
“I work with one of Jennifer Lawrence’ friends and she was spilling the dirt on her and Chris Martin (Old news, but still). Jennifer broke up with Nicholas Hoult to get with Chris, but soon regretted it because Chris was was giving her the runaround. She tried to get back with Nicholas, but he turned her down. So because she didn’t want people laughing at her, she stuck with Chris, but he ended up dumping her for Annabelle Wallis.” - Anonymous
Emma Roberts
“My best friend used to work on the set of Scream Queens. She told me Emma Roberts is such a f*cking bitch, and she always wanted to play ouija when they had nothing to do.” - Anonymous
Do You Know How To Make Labels?
“I saw Kelly Cutrone in the VIP section at Le Poisson Rouge. She was there to see Charli XCX. I didn’t think it was Kelly Cutrone, but then, I realized that it was her. The black on black outfit was not to be missed.” - Anonymous
Lind-sanity!
1).
“I had a friend who encountered Lindsay Lohan one day at brunch in Spain. Lindsay was seated next to her. She was with her ex-Russian fiance at the time, and ordered a cold glass of vodka and requested the vodka be filled to the brim. I’m pretty sure this was at 10:30 AM!” - Anonymous
2).
“Back in 2012, Lindsay Lohan visited Beauty & Essex in NYC and requested the water carafe’s be filled with vodka so people think she is drinking water. She got so drunk she threw the carafe at someone!” - Anonymous
3).
“A couple years ago, I was at 1Oak - when it was still cool - and my friend told me Lindsay Lohan was at her table and there was going to be an after party. Naturally, I moseyed over to the table and sat down to have a drink with my friend in hopes of going to this after party with Lindsay. I stared in awe as I watched Lindsay dance on the couch. I had been waiting for this moment since I moved to New York. I had an H&M blazer on and put it on the couch. People at 1Oak typically don’t check their jackets and just pile them on the couch. Around 4AM, we all started getting ready, grabbing our jackets and drugs before heading out to the after party with Lindsay. I put on my blazer, but moments later I get pushed. I turn around, and it’s Lindsay! Her eyes were bulging out of her head and she accused me of stealing her blazer. I was like, what? (Thinking this bitch can afford more than an on-sale H&M blazer). She demanded that I take it off to see the label and size. It actually wasn’t mine - I am a size 6, and it was a 12. I took it off and handed it to her saying it was a mistake and shrugged. She yanks the blazer from me and then hops on the couch to talk to a bouncer. She is screaming and pointing at me, asking the security to kick me out. The best part is, security paid her no mind and just ignored her - they must have dealt with her trying to kick people out a billion times. Luckily they didn’t kick me out, but let’s just say I wasn’t invited back to the coke after party. Shucks.” - Off-Anonymous

Hilary Swank& Donatella Versace

Chris Evans& Christina Ricci
Former Actress Cameron Diaz
Claire Danes& Hugh Dancy
And last, but not least, John Mayer:
With Successica Simpson:
Who kicked off the evening in typical Simpson style when she got into the wrong car outside of her NYC hotel, telling onlookers afterwards: “Of course, that happened to me!”
On This Day In 2007 Topless photos of Britney Spears leaked online, supposedly taken a month earlier at a friend’s house. The pictures surfaced moments after Britney finished a show at an Anaheim House of Blues. A source told Daily Star at the time:
“Britney’s furious these photos have become public. She never dreamed they’d be leaked. She’s concentrating on her career and this draws the focus from her music.”
On This Day In 2007 A video of a drunken David Hasselhoff trying to eat a cheeseburger in a Las Vegas hotel room was released by Entertainment Tonight. The video was reportedly taken three months earlier by his 16-year-old daughter Taylor-Ann. Shortly after the video surfaced, Hasselhoff’s visitation rights with his two children were suspended, and he issued a statement to ET:
“I am a recovering alcoholic. Because of my honest and positive relationship with my children, who were concerned for my well-being, there was a tape made when I had a relapse to show me what I was like. I have seen the tape. I have learned from it, and I am back on my game.”
Paris Hilton texts her ex-fiance while being followed by paparazzi, May 2007
Kim Kardashian& Haylie Duff battled it out on MySpace.
On May 3, 2007, the lesser Duff sister shared a bulletin on her profile titled “Kim Kardashian Is Really Mature”:
Inside, Haylie wrote:
“Stuff like this REALLY PISSES ME OFF. I try to reach out and be nice and instead it just gets shoved back in my face. This is why you should never move to Hollywood, the place is full of arrogant, immature, and offensive bitches who can’t hold their liquor and can’t keep their legs closed.”
And attached screenshots of the heated exchange:
While the Duffs & Kardashians had previously been friends, Kim’s then-keeper Paris Hilton was not too fond of the Duff duo. In 2004, Paris & Haylie both recorded demos of the song Screwed, which Haylie intended as the first single from her debut album… but later scrapped it when Paris’ version leaked online.
To add salt to the wound, the following year rumors swirled that Paris had shoved Haylie’s little sister Hilary on a red carpet, which Hilary didn’t exactly deny.
But despite her newfound bad blood with Paris’ protege, Haylie’s friendship with Kim’s stepbrother Brody didn’t sour!
Happy 10 Years!

Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail after violating her probation stemming from a 2006 DUI arrest.
On May 4, 2007, Hilton arrived at L.A.’s Metropolitan Courthouse, 10 minutes late to her scheduled 1:30PM hearing regarding two incidents of driving on a suspended license.
In the courtroom, Paris claimed that she had no idea her license was suspended, despite paperwork in her car stating so, and blamed the gaff on publicist Elliot Mintz, who gave her the OK to drive.
Elliot backed the claims, but Judge Michael T. Sauer dismissed his testimony as “completely worthless,” the prosecution adding: “[Hilton] knew she couldn’t drive, and she did it anyway.”
After brief deliberation, and an apologetic Paris telling the court, “I’m very sorry,” the judge handed down a 45-day sentence to be served at Century Regional Detention Facility - causing Kathy Hilton to shout: “This is pathetic! I can’t believe all the money we spent on this.”
Following the sentence, Mintz announced his departure from Camp Hilton, and a tearful Paris sought new legal counsel in famed DUI lawyer Richard Hutton.
Her new team quickly planned to file an appeal:
And she even took to MySpace to fight the decision, asking fans to sign a petition to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, whom the Hiltons donated $60,000 in campaign funds to over the years:
Paris also told paparazzi camped outside her home the following morning that she considered the sentence to be “cruel” and “unwarranted”:
And sister Nicky agreed!
In addition to Aunt Kyle Richards:
Other celebrity supporters included The Hills’ Spencer Pratt, who launched his own MySpace petition and told Us Weekly: “It’s a shame that a miscommunication between her and her people is landing her in jail.”
And he wasn’t alone! Paris impersonator Natalie Reid showed her doppelganger some love:
So did Brit Brit:
And oddly enough, Lori Loughlin?
RedFreckles.com, whose CEO claimed Paris was a “loyal customer,” released $5 bracelets in support:
And Brandon Davis’ brother Jason was outraged by the sentence:
In addition to about two people in Greenwich Village:
But not everyone was Team Paris, former party palHayden Panettiere was less-than-forgiving of her friend’s indiscretions:
Kelly Osbourne couldn’t care less:
Firecrotch kept mum:
Joey Fatone& friends shared a few thoughts of their own:
Sophia Bush, whose ex Chad Michael Herpes cheated on her with Hilton, couldn’t resist smiling:
And Cheryl Burke was absolutely delighted by the news:
In addition to the women at The View!
Fellow socialite Candy Spelling also shared her thoughts on the matter, writing a scathing open letter to Hilton:
“Since you let this happen, use the next couple of weeks preparing not only by publicly learning to fight (not a good message to fellow inmates), but by looking around, realizing that you are not as truly entitled as your money implies.”
And former jailbird heiress Patty Hearst echoed Candy’s disdain, telling TMZ: “Forty-five days with Paris Hilton and the attendant publicity seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me. Perhaps THEY should be petitioning the Governor for relief?”
But one person who wasn’t losing any sleep over the matter? Judge Sauer, who received a standing ovation from fellow parishioners when he went to church the following morning.
Happy 10 Years!

And you guys think Mischa Barton has no impact!
According to a recent report in OK!, Britney Spears is the star of a sex tape possibly being peddled around Hollywood:
I highly doubt it, as I first spotted this rumor in an issue of the Enquirer a couple of weeks ago - no, I don’t pay for that trash, but I do accompany my mom to the supermarket every Saturday to flip through the tabloids I’m too cheap to subscribe to… yep, I’m that much of a loser.
Anyways, when would this supposed sex tape even be from? 2007? If so, that shit would’ve leaked already. I’m reminded of a semi-vintage article about Adnan Ghalib taking close-up shots of Brit's… bits.. while they were hooking up. Plus, there isn’t a part of Brit we haven’t seen already:
So keep this one in the archives - let Parasite& Kimmy K stick to the triple-X tricks.
Oh, and Screech.
~New Amanda Troubles?~
It’s been a hot second since Amanda Bynes graced the pages of a tabloid, but the Enquirer is drudging up the fallen it-girl for this week’s issue, alleging that she’s been cutting herself a la Lohan, Barton, & co.:
Before you give the rumor any credence, my friend & fellow Amanda connoisseur Spencer (Simon, not Pratt) suggested the marks could be from Mandy’s tattoo removal process. Yeah, you probably forgot she had this:

I figured the news would be coming soon as Spencer stopped mid-sentence during our podcast recording session the other week to silence the “fake baby” he’d been caring for - yep, Spencer’s working on being a doting dad, don’t let those Enzo days fool you!

Mischa Barton talks to Ryan Seacrest about her DUI, January 2008
this time a decade ago, donald trump was doing commercials for the mtv movie awards
After a three-year performing hiatus, Britney embarks on a secret tour.
A wise woman once crooned: “Another day, another drama.”
And she couldn’t have been more accurate!
The onset of May 2007 welcomed a storm of scandal, from The Hoff’s Cheeseburger debacle to Paris’ prison hell, but like any other week, good ol’ Britney Spears had to fit in somewhere.
A month removed from the Promises Malibu days, America’s fallen sweetheart was back on her grind. Between daily trips to Millennium Dance Studio, and nightly runs to Carl’s Jr. and Del Taco, gossip sites began to buzz about what new project the rehabbed pop star was brewing up.
At the tail end of April, rumors swirled that a comeback performance was in the works - and those whispers were soon confirmed by Ivan Kane, owner of Hollywood’s Forty Deuce. Kane told reporters that while Britney had spent a day rehearsing for a three-song set, armed with backup dancers, Spears pulled out last minute as “her management decided it wasn’t the right time.” Despite the April 25th return being canned, word around Tinseltown suggested the show would go on… at the House of Blues.
A day after backing out of Forty Deuce, the House of Blues website listed a mysterious new act in their weekly lineup: The M+M’s.
It didn’t take long for Britney fans to conclude that the act was their one & only, and tickets began to fly for a May 1st show in San Diego. As B-Day fast approached, though, Spears kept mum on whether or not the rumors were true, but all was revealed shortly after noon that Tuesday.
Just before 1PM, Britney was spotted by paparazzi leaving her gated community, headed towards Elks Lodge on Ventura Blvd. There she boarded a waiting tour bus, and gunned for the 5 Freeway heading south - and an army of photographers followed!
Once X17Online caught wind of the news, they set up a live stream to capture the million-dollar RV’s every move.
Fans flocked to the busy highway to catch a glimpse of Brit, and more importantly witness her first performance since 2004 - but it wouldn’t be a moment in Britstory without a little drama!
Fellow drivers were peeved, to say the least, by Brit’s paparazzi motorcade, and police were soon called to check it out.
After pulling over the bus for “disturbing traffic,” cops let Brit & co. on their merry way, and it was smooth sailing to San Diego from there!
Once doors opened, fans paying upwards of $125 a ticket poured inside the venue - and a few lucky photographers snuck their way in, too! After a brief wait, Britney and dancers graced the stage for a five-song set, her only words to the masses being a parting: “Thanks everyone for coming!”
The 15-minute show kicked off with …Baby One More Time, and burned through other oldies like Do Somethin’, I’m A Slave 4 U, and Toxic - along with a sexy Breathe On Me number, featuring Brit and a mystery man:
Several fan sites identified the lucky guy as Brit’s rehab boytoy Howie Day, whom she’d been spotted partying with in the days before the San Diego show.
But it seemed Howie wasn’t the only lucky one that evening! After the show, fans raved about Britney’s return - even Kevin Federline’s ex Shar Jackson was impressed!
Despite the expected lip-syncing, the dancing seemed up to par with fans’ expectations, and tickets continued to fly for a Wednesday night show in Anaheim. The May 2nd show welcomed a change, though… in security.
Fans reportedly spent two hours pushing through metal detectors - with guards seizing cell phones in response to the flood of online pictures and videos of the San Diego show. After making their way inside, the crowd chanted, the lights dimmed, and Britney returned for the same set, finishing off with a kiss to the audience and a parting: “Thank you so much!”
May 3rd welcomed the final show of Britney’s three-night performance streak, and a return to her Sunset Strip stomping grounds.
While Britney opted for a brunette wig for her West Hollywood show, that wasn’t the only notable cameo of the evening. Fans quickly recognized a familiar face in the crowd…
…Lindsay Lohan!
After being spotted, Brit’s former party pal blew fans a kiss, flashed her signature peace sign, and bounced once the set was over.
Following the Hollywood show, Britney hit the dance studio for a couple of days, graced more fast food drive-thru’s, and then hitched it out to Sin City for a May 6th performance at Vegas’ Mandalay Bay House of Blues:
Another night, another successful karaoke session.
After Vegas, the tabloid target returned to L.A. for more late nights at Teddy’s, Les Deux, and recording studio sessions with rumored flame J.R. Rotem.
Meanwhile, “cousin-friend-cousin”Alli Sims stocked up on some new wigs:
And Britney took to her website to thank fans for their support:
After a fortnight hiatus, and some dance studio refreshers, Brit and her entourage gunned for LAX and boarded an Orlando-bound flight to continue her comeback tour.
Upon strolling into first class, though, Britney reportedly threw a fit that “it hasn’t got leather seats,” so the captain accommodated the pop star and arranged for a leather-clad private jet to take Brit and her pack to the Sunshine State.
After touching down, Britney quickly became acquainted with the city’s hottest shops and clubs:
South Park fans might recall that outfit as the one parodied in 2008’s Britney’s New Look:
And following a day of fun, Britney hit up the Orlando House of Blues for another mini-concert - armed with the usual backup dancers, costume changes, and some reported audio difficulties.
But Spears handled it like a pro! When the backing audio to Do Somethin’ skipped, Britney turned away from the audience until it got back on track.
The night after the fan-pleasing O-Town performance, Brit graced Miami’s Mansion nightclub for her final show of the tour:
And after wrapping the set, Britney toasted the tour’s completion at nearby Set nightclub:
And returned to the Raleigh Hotel for some poolside fun:
Once the sun had risen, though, it was back to Hollywood for Britney, the next time she’d grace a stage being the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.
In the meantime, fans got their fix via Mini-Britney:
Happy 10 Years!
