Lindsay Lohan

Attention seekers

THE 2012 US presidential election wasn’t the only thing that made headlines this week. Celebrities were also up to their old tricks and gave everyone lots to talk about.

For the win

Twitterverse went a little crazy after Barack Obama was re-elected as the US President and celebrities joined in the celebration, tweeting their support and joy for the people’s favourite president.

Katy Perry tweeted: “DONE AND DUSTED!!! The people have the power! Proud to stand by you for 4 more years”.

Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries said: “I’m so proud of us as a people. Even people in other countries contributed to this event. A global group hug…Wow. Wow. Wow,”

The Avenger’s Mark Ruffalo also tweeted: “The American People beat bigotry and racial hatred tonight. The Working Class wins. It is a great night.. I am so proud to be an American!!! I love our country and everyone in it. Even those who do not share my beliefs.”

Beyonce shows her support for President Barack Obama.

Beyonce even wrote a letter to Obama stating: “You are the reason my daughter and nephew will grow up knowing that they can truly be ANYTHING they want to be.” Aww…

Sharm says: Let’s hope that Mr. President would stop by our country the next time he plans to visit Indonesia.

 

Oh no, Lilo!

Lindsay Lohan is in trouble yet again. What’s new, right? The actress, who everyone believed had finally found her way out of her personal and professional rut, is back in trouble with the authorities and she might even be sent back to jail.

In June, Lohan told police that she wasn’t driving the car that crashed into the back of a truck, and that statement could very well do her harm as there were several witnesses who saw her driving.

The Liz and Dick actress is still on probation for a jewelery theft case from earlier this year and the 26-year-old star may be found guilty in violation of her probation and sent back to jail.

Sharm says: Is it even worth feeling sorry for Lilo any more?

 

BFFs forever

Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart have been friends since their days of working together in Twilight and The Runaways, so it’s only natural that they defend each other out of love. When asked about Stewart’s cheating scandal, Fanning was quick to defend her pal and told InStyle magazine that people just need to mind their own business.

“Everyone thinks they have the right to, you know, publicise the struggles and sadness and heartbreak and all of that. It’s like, ‘Why do you think you have the authority to judge people’s experiences?’,” said the 18-year-old actress.

Sharm says: That’s some wise words from our sweet, lil’ Dakota. Everyone, listen to her.

 

A secret artist

Chris Brown has often been in the limelight … and usually, they’re for all the wrong reasons. The 23-year-old singer opened up to Prestige Hong Kong, and surprisingly sounded very mature and intelligent in the interview. He also spoke about his painting and wanting to be a director one day.

“Not to be arrogant when I say it, but I want to be the Steven Spielberg of music videos, to be innovative and young, not to put a bar on it just because of budgetary issues or certain capabilities.”

Sharm says: Sorry Chris, but everything you say does sound arrogant to us. “Face problem”, I guess.

Always in the news

By SHARMILA NAIR

ANOTHER week has gone by and that just means one thing – there’s new gossip from Hollywood and we are more than excited to repeat them, yes?


Prank gone right?
That Justin Bieber sure knows how to get everyone’s attention. The 18-year-old singer caused a media frenzy earlier this week when reports surfaced that his laptop – which contains some of his private photos and videos – was stolen.
Then, someone using the @gexwy Twitter handle, tweeted saying that they have the laptop in possession and threatened to release said photos and videos of the singer – and they eventually did.
The link led viewers to Justin Bieber’s YouTube page, which featured his latest single Beauty and a Beat featuring Nicki Minaj, which had this message at the beginning of the video: “In October of 2012, three hours of personal footage was stolen from musician Justin Bieber. The following footage was illegally uploaded by an anonymous blogger.”
It eventually dawned upon everyone that it was a ploy by Bieber to get people talking about his latest music.
He later took to his personal Twitter account and said: “Since i was 14 I have had a lot of things said about me, from dying, to taking hormones, to dying again, to stuff about my family…
“To saying I had a baby with a woman I never even met. Nude pics, drugs, my family, my character… But today… Today I get to be in on it…”
Sharm says: Why all this unnecessary drama when he knows that millions of screaming girls are going to watch his video anyway?


Tom renouncing Scientology?
Tom Cruise must really love the life he had with Katie Holmes and daughter Suri as there are reports saying that the 50-year-old actor is considering cutting ties with the Church of Scientology.
A source told X17online.com: “Now he’s lost the most precious thing in his life, he sees that his Scientology beliefs may not have hurt his box office but have ended not one but two marriages.
“It was a terrifying and rude awakening for Tom when Katie served him with divorce papers. He’s used to feeling undefeatable and untouchable. When he lost Katie he felt like a failure.”
Cruise joined the church in 1990 and the religion was also said have to caused his split from second wife Nicole Kidman.
Sharm says: Scientologist or not, who’s going to forget the crazy couch-jumping episode that we’ll forever associate with
Tom now?


Reggie’s girl no more
If you ever run into Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, don’t ever make the mistake of talking about the reality star’s ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush. One paparazzo learned this lesson the hard way.
Two days ago, Kardashian and West almost bumped into Bush and his baby mama while out for dinner in Miami.
“Kim and Kanye had a very discreet dinner in a private room with the curtains drawn at Prime Hotel while Reggie was with his girlfriend across the street at Prime Italian,” an eyewitness told In Touch magazine.
The paparazzi tried to get a reaction from the famous couple and one of them even asked West about Bush being nearby, which obviously ticked the singer off.
Things got heated when one female photographer allegedly said to Kardashian: “Kim did you know Reggie is here (in Miami) having dinner? Did you wanna go congratulate him on his pregnancy?”
That was when West got into a rage and intimidated the photographer into leaving the scene. Later, the female paparazzo told other photographers “Kanye West just tried to beat me up.”
Sharm says: How much do you want to bet that Kanye is going to write a song about Reggie next? OMG, he is such a Taylor Swift.

Oh no, not again!
Everyone’s favourite troublemaker Lindsay Lohan has found herself entangled in more family drama. Seriously, that girl can’t get a break! She got into a major fight with her mother Dina Lohan, which resulted in her estranged father calling 911 to diffuse the situation.
Her father on the other hand also embarrassed Lilo by releasing a recording of a conversation – in which she accuses her mother of being high on cocaine – with his daughter on that fateful night.
The next day however, the mother daughter duo made up and were seen hugging each other awkwardly before news broke that Dina is insisting that Lindsay gets a permanent protective order against her father. That would mean that Michael won’t be able to call, text or have any kind of contact with Lindsay in the future.
Upon hearing the news, Michael told the Daily Mail, “Lindsay is my daughter, and I love her to death. And I know she loves me too. This isn’t going to happen.”
Sharm says: Anybody wants to adopt Lindsay and give her a good, loving home?

More celeb news

WHAT would our lives be without some weekly dosage of crazy celebrity news? Absolutely, pretty boring. Well, it’s a good thing then that the Hollywood folks have been busy and the celebrities have given us plenty of things to talk about this time around. Here’s a roundup on what’s been going down in Tinseltown recently.

A new territory
Taylor Swift is trying to prove that she’s not just a guitar-slinging young gal singing about boys and heartbreaks. The 22-year-old singer is all set to prove her acting chops and has signed on to play legendary folk singer Joni Mitchell in Girls Like Us. She did make her acting debut in Valentine’s Day, though it was nothing to shout about.


Although rumours were already swirling back in April that Swift was seriously eyeing the job, the movie’s producers didn’t officially hand her the part until recently.

The movie will revolve around the life and career of singer Mitchell, as well as her fellow performers Carly Simon and Carole King.

Sharm says: Taylor as an actress? Sorry, but I don’t buy this new gig at all. Don’t hold your breath for an Oscar nomination, I say.

Back in trouble
Will Lindsay Lohan’s personal drama ever end? Guess not. The actress was rushed to a hospital in New York City last weekend and one of her reps told gossip blog X17online that the emergency was due to an asthma attack.

The rep also added that, “Lindsay was treated and released, and is doing fine.” There are several reports claiming that the 26-year-old actress is trying to get out of shooting Scary Movie 5 by feigning illness. Lohan was overheard complaining about suffering from a case of walking pneumonia, and this recent trip to the hospital only supports her claims that she was too ill to work.

Sharm says: Want to get well, LiLo? Quit your partying ways and get some sleep.

A heavy issue


Lady Gaga was recently criticised for her weight gain – she reportedly gained 25 pounds (11.3kg) – but instead of shying away from the limelight or hiding her bigger frame under baggy clothes, she did the total opposite.

Mother Monster posted some photos on her website LittleMonsters.com and showed off her “new” body and tattoos in just her underwear.

The 26-year-old singer captioned the photos as: “Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15. But today I join the body revolution. To inspire bravery. And breed some compassion.”

Sharm says: OMG, I wonder what people have to say about the extra 30kg I’ve been carrying around all my life?

New couple alert
As much as it is difficult for people to imagine that Simon Cowell actually has a love life, he does. And it is rumoured that he is now seeing Carmen Electra, yes, the former Baywatch beauty.

The unlikely couple (how did they even hook up?) were snapped in each others arms after leaving a restaurant in Hollywood. A couple of days ago, the were seen on another day and a source for In Touch Weekly said that: “They were really into each other. At one point, they were talking real close, and he leaned in and kissed her. They started making out!”

Electra had appeared as a guest judge with Cowell on Britain’s Got Talent and a few months later, dumped her fiance Rob Patterson. When asked at the time why Electra was chosen as the guest judge, Cowell, who’s the show’s producer said, “She has the best set of … teeth I have ever seen.”

Sharm says: Think they will last? I’ll give them three more weeks.

Back together?
Twilight fans, breathe. It is rumoured that Robert Pattinson is willing to forgive Kristen Stewart and give their relationship a second chance. Although, it was reported that Pattinson has a long list of rules for Stewart to follow if she wants to get back with him.


It’s said that rule number one is that Stewart will never see or speak with her Snow White and The Hunstman director Rupert Sanders (whom she had an affair with). Secondly, she must be accompanied by someone when she’s meeting people without Pattinson and thirdly, they must have regular date nights and calls when apart.

Sharm says: Okay, what kind of crazy mental prison has Rob designed for Kristen? I hope this list is not true.
