Lindsay Lohan Hates her Dad

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan’s father, apparently unhappy at the lack of attention he’s been getting in the press, released an audio recording of a phone conversation under the guise of being concerned about his daughter’s sometimes out-of-control life. The tape was released to Radar Online and purportedly revealed that mom Dina Lohan was punched and kicked out of the car when she tried to intervene last year and get Lindsay to go to rehab.

Another call published this week supposedly has Lindsay sobbing and saying, “No one cares about me.”

Lawyers have been called, and Lohan has taken to Twitter to express her feelings on the matter, tweeting “Good news is, I haven’t called him many times @all-so it will end sooner rather than later!!! Lol”

Another tweet said, “Its so sad that I even have to share this w/everyone, but I haven’t had a real relationship w/Michael Sr. in years. That is the truth.”

The 23-year-old actress referred on Twitter to her dad as a “lunatic,” and has reportedly been considering getting a restraining order against him.

Papa Lohan told People that he is simply worried about his daughter’s battle with addiction. “Regardless of what people say to me, Lindsay is my first concern,” he told the magazine.

Josh Duhamel and Fergie: Blissful or in Trouble?

Fergie and Josh Duhamel

The December 2009 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine features an interview with singer Fergie, who is set to star in an upcoming movie musical titled Nine. In the interview she said her husband, Josh Duhamel, didn’t mind when she added a little poundage to her normally tight body for the movie. Duhamel enjoyed “the extra meat to grab,” she told Cosmo. “He’s never been critical,” she added.

That interview was conducted long before allegations that surfaced this week that Duhamel has cheated on his wife. Both Duhamel’s and Fergie’s spokespeople have called the claims, by an Atlanta stripper, “ridiculous” and were seen being affectionate at dinner in Atlanta this week.

In the story, which appeared in Us Weekly, Nicole Forrester, a 34-year-old mom of two, claimed on a radio show that she and Duhamel had “lots of sex” at the St. Regis hotel after he visited the Tattletale club where she works. Duhamel is in Atlanta working on the movie Life as We Know It. She claimed that he watched a porn movie with her before hooking up. He did not pay her for sex, she claimed, but did give her $100 for cab fare.

Fergie is scheduled to go to Paris next week to do promotional appearances with her band, the Black Eyed Peas. Josh

The cast of New Moon will be touring shopping malls across America to promote the sequel to hit movie Twilight that opens in November. On their tour, the stars of the flick will be joined at some venues by some of the musical artists who contributed to the Twilight and New Moon soundtracks. Artists include Sea Wolf, Death Cab for Cutie, Band of Skulls, and Anya Marina, all of whom will play at the kick-off of the tour in Hollywood on November 6.

In other news, the hair stylist to Twilight hunk Robert Pattinson, Stuart Gavert of Gavert Atelier in Beverly Hills has told In Style the secrets to Robert Pattinson’s ability to attract women. Saying that Pattinson strikes a balance between timid and bold, he asserts that co-star Kristin Stewart is strongly attracted to Pattinson’s slight shyness. “He can turn the charm on and off,” says Gavert.

Oh, and the fact that Pattinson is very good-looking and photogenic helps too, according to Gavert.

For those fans who simply can’t wait for New Moon to be released, you can listen to the music from New Moon right now on MySpace. Go to the official Twilight MySpace page and scroll down beyond the photos of the stars, and you’ll see all the tunes in the standard MySpace music player.

Lindsay Lohan

It was revealed over the weekend that Lohan’s high profile internship with Emanuel Ungaro was unpaid. The New York Post reported on its infamous Page Six that Lohan paid for her own hotel and flight to Paris to appear at Paris Fashion Week. But she was only unpaid if you are talking about cash. She reportedly accepted $100,000 of Ungaro clothing as payment.

Fox 411 reported that “Ungaro is not paying her at all to be a consultant for them. Her team is working to get Lindsay some form of payment from the fashion house, but right now they will only give her free clothes.”

Some in the fashion world were shocked by the pairing up of the tabloid magnet Lohan with the Italian designer. Naeem Khan said when told about the hook-up, “Esteban is a great friend of mine, and I think it’s a very dangerous move that they’re making.”

In other Lohan news, rumor has it that the aspiring singer has been dropped by Casablanca, her record label, “put[ting] their working relationship with her on hold.” Lohan’s third studio album, Spirit in the Dark, has been under production for over a year. There’s been no comment from Lohan or her “people” about the rumored record label dumping.

Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson

Twilight fans continue to celebrate the awesomeness of their favorite film after the movie took home several awards Sunday night at the Spike TV Scream Awards 2009. This awards show is dedicated to horror, fantasy, and science fiction feature films. The first Spike TV Scream Awards were in 2006.

The big winners included mega hits Twilight and Transformers 2. Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob in the Twilight series picked up a Scream Award for “Breakout Male Performance.” He also picked up the trophies that were awarded to Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson who didn’t attend the ceremony. Stewart and Pattinson won Best Fantasy Actors. Lautner introduced some much anticipated New Moon footage to satisfy those fans who can’t wait for the film to come out in November.

The frighteningly sexy Megan Fox won the award for Best Sci-Fi Actress and delivered a surprisingly sweet acceptance speech that seemed to be designed to put her back in the good graces of her Transformers director Michael Bay. “I am completely grateful to everyone involved with this franchise,” she said, referring to the Transformers movies.

Best Horror Movie went to Drag Me to Hell, while Twilight won Best Fantasy Movie. Best Comic Book Movie went to Watchmen. True Blood won the award for Best Television Show.
