Lindsay Lohan’s father has suffered a minor heart attack. Michael Lohan was rushed to St. Francis Hospital in New York yesterday afternoon (16.03.10) after complaining of feeling unwell.

Lindsay Lohan is “obsessed” with her new boyfriend. The ‘Mean Girls’ actress – who most recently had an 18-month on/off lesbian relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson – is said to be smitten with model Sam Webb and is trying to secure more work in England so she can be closer to the London-based hunk, who she is believed to have met during her recent trip to Europe.

With the end of Paris Fashion Week, it looks like Lindsay Lohan has decided to have some fun in London before returning to the States. She was spotted entering Members Club last night. It looks like Lindsay got some collagen injections in her lips, doesn’t it? I hear those injections are REALLY popular in Hollywood, but I have to say, I think this may be a bit much. Maybe her lips will go down in a day or two. What do you think of Lindsay’s fuller lips? Edited to add : it looks like Lindsay’s lips did go down a little These pictures of Linday going into the Members Club were taken Friday evening. Last night, Lindsay was spotted going to Bungalow 8 in London, and her lips don’t seem quite so full (see the thumbnails below, where she’s wearing the tall boots). Photos by INF

There’s no doubt that Lindsay Lohan has dealt with many issues during her life so far — difficult parents, alcohol and drug problems, questioning her sexual preference. This week, we’ve started to see the makings of a downward spiral: a ridiculous lawsuit against E-Trade over the name “Lindsay” in a commercial, partying in Paris and the news that she’s on hiatus from her publicist . Can she turn her life around? We asked therapist Dr. Gilda Carle to weigh in. From what we’ve seen in the press recently, what is the biggest issue that Lindsay is dealing with right now? She believes that all things revolve around her. This is absolutely ridiculous. Like no one else is allowed to be named Lindsay. Do you think she is making these decisions on her own, or is she being egged on by those around her? She’s being urged on by allt hese characters around her that may not have her best interests in mind. Someone has to let her know that this is ridiculous. What would you advise Lindsay to do at this point? I would tell her to ask herself: What is the most important thing in your life right now? What goals do you have? What do you look forward to when you wake up in the morning? Based upon what she is saying — whether she believes everyone should cow-tow to her or not — then I could tell her what to do next. I think she needs to get some career goals and make them her priority. Her life as it is now is not sustainable. Can she refocus her life at this point? She has to decide what she really wants to refocus on. She can’t be partying at night and looking for jobs during the day and maintain a good reputation. She needs to start getting serious about something professionally. Lindsay’s parents haven’t been very good role models for her. What can she do about that now? A lot of people haven’t had those role models, and they need to reestablish those role models for themselves as they get older. She’s going to have to find different role models that can work for her in other ways in her life. Lindsay has also tried dating both women and men. Do you think she’ll ever be able to decide which she prefers? It’s not uncommon for people like Lindsay to try dating both sexes. She’s so confused, she doesn’t even have her gender preferences straight. It’s not unusual for someone who is hurt by one sex to want to hook up with the other sex, but she has to make a decision about which she wants to be with eventually. Can Lindsay be helped? She needs to spend a lot of time in a therapeutic environment with people who care about her and want to help her in way she can understand. She needs help from a third party therapist, who can give an impartial opinion, someone who is not involved in that family. This life is not working for her at all.

I am a veteran of the celebrity-industrial complex, and have the battle scars to prove it. There was the vicious tongue-lashing from a woman who represented Jeremy Piven ; back in 2005, when New Yorkers went to clubs like Marquee for the bottle service and celeb gawking, I was dispatched by the magazine I worked at to a nightspot where Piven was doing a promotional thingy for Hamptons magazine. The Pivs, then on a PR bender after getting well-deserved recognition for Entourage , seemed exhausted, catatonic, spent. I approached him for an interview but he could barely stand up; his then-publicist ordered me to interview  publisher Jason Binn instead and I was all, “Who’s that?” (No offense Jason Binn, but you’re no Ari Gold .) She got in my face and shrieked bloody murder, and while I can’t quite recall what she said, my ears still burn to this day.  As a straightforward Midwestern girl who was naive to ways of celebrity journalism, it was a fascinating and crude initiation into the machinations behind it: one in which the stars are sometimes driven to near-exhaustion on the promotional circuit, the PR people driven nearly paranoid trying to protect their clients and the reporters reduced to peons to nab That One Interview. Soon after club-stalking Piven and Lindsay Lohan for that specific magazine — called Inside TV , it lasted only eight months  — I moved to The Associated Press as an entertainment reporter. That meant not only covering the ongoing narratives of celebrities’ lives (births, deaths, trainwrecks, Britney ) but also interviewing lots of them for projects they promoted. While most interviews went smoothly, with subjects willing to smile and provide a soundbite or candid conversation, others exposed the cold hard truth: Sometimes celebrities you admired can let you down, and sometimes they can be jerks (and aren’t afraid to let you know it). Sometimes their harried handlers can’t control their client’s  behavior (and all hell breaks loose as a result). Such experiences have been few and far between, with stars from Robert Redford to Anne Hathaway to David Hasselhoff no less than lovely and obliging. But here are some encounters with boldfaced names that sent a chill down my spine and left me feeling like a peon: Travis McCoy , the guy from Gym Class Heroes who used to date Katy Perry , gave mostly monosyllabic answers to my questions and took grease from the potato chips he was eating and wiped it on my sleeve. I have a weak stomach so I almost threw up in the Heroes’ trailer. His publicist sat there all stoney-faced, possibly screaming internally.  Either way, harrowing. Eva Longoria iced me out while promoting those estrogen-targeted gourmet M & M’s in the tents at New York Fashion Week. She was most likely getting paid the big bucks because otherwise she might not have shilled for M & M’s in full view of the most fashionable people in the world. And she was most likely not in the mood to discuss the pregnancy rumors that were dogging her at the time when I walked into a backstage VIP lounge for our interview — which was, of course, was meant to focus on Eva’s love for M & M’s. The normally efferverscent Eva was unusually chilly: her body language was stiff, her expression sour.  After three minutes of trying and failing to get Eva to open up (and be funny like she is on the TV), I went in for the money question: “How do you respond to rumors you and Tony are pregnant?” To this, she zipped her mouth shut and refused to answer any other questions. She did not give the throwaway “No comment” or redirect the conversation to Desperate Housewives or, again, M & M’s.  I thanked her for her time, got up and walked out — sigh of relief. My next interview was Olympic swimmer Dara Torres , who was a breath of fresh warm air. Neil Patrick Harris. Smart guy, great entertainer, provocateur. Yet NPH broke my heart a little after he claimed through hard-charging publicists  that I had taken his words out of context in a story I’d written about CBS’ How I Met Your Mother and his disdain for stunt casting (this was after the show hired a string of celeb guest stars including Britney, by far the most high-profile). He talked candidly on the L.A.-based set on the show and when asked which actress might turn out to be a “Mystery Woman” — then a plot point on the show in the spring of 2008 — Neil responded,  “No telling, but based on the stunt casting we’ve done in the past I’m guessing Tara Reid .” The story hit the wire, and the next morning, I received a flurry of furious emails and phone calls from CBS and Neil’s representation, accusing me of pulling a “bait and switch” and seeking out only Britney scoop (rather than writing an innocuous story about how great the show was–and STILL is, btw). That was not the case but they hit back via Entertainment Weekly’s web site, which ran a statement from Neil saying I’d taken some quotes of his and speculated on their intent. My story spread like wildfire, hitting all the entertainment news shows — proof that I had done something right, I think — but it took me a while to get over a simple fact: Doogie had done me wrong! Neil Patrick Harris, who EVERYONE LOVES! (Except my mother). He did take some responsibility in his statement however, saying: “My job description is to act, and I should really do just that.” But he clearly enjoys stirring up controversy — celebs would be far more interesting were they to follow his lead — and when a former AP colleague encountered Neil on the red carpet, he made a snarky comment to the effect of: “You’re the AP? Oh, I don’t talk to you!” (Gratuitous Seinfeld reference: Neil is my Newman). So, let’s hear it! Has anyone in the celeb-sphere acted in a way that took you by surprise? Someone out there must have some juicy stories. Share your comments below. Post from: Crushable

On or off the red carpet, celebrities always have to be careful about their looks. If they’re not, Molly Dimick will find them, and mock them. Read on for another installment of Fame Wore. Post from: Crushable

Looks like Lindsay Lohan will have to go back to designing her own leggings line now that French fashion house Emanuel Ungaro has cut her from their pay roll. The company named Linds their artist adviser (whatever that is) last year, and the subsequent runway show was panned by critics. She was nowhere to be seen at Ungaro’s fall 2010 runway show in Paris this morning and the company’s owner told WWD Lindsay had no input into the most recent collection. Somehow, we don’t think Lindsay will be applying for unemployment any time soon, but it’s still got to sting. [ E! Online ] Post from: Crushable
