Does being sober make you want to die?

Pete Doherty’s Attempted Suicide


No, the headline does not refer to his life in general, though that would have been a clever headline if it were written a few months ago.

The News Of The World reports that Babyshambles singer/songwriter Pete Doherty attempted to kill himself while in rehab when he heard about ex-girlfriend Kate Moss’ relationship with fellow ugly guy Jamie Hince. He took some pills, but ended up vomiting up all the pills before any ill effects took hold.

Says a source: "He saw an opportunity to take an overdose and took it. He told me he didn't know what the pills were but thought ‘fuck it' and took them all. He doesn't care what drugs do to him—in fact, he likes finding out."

Well, hopefully that’s all behind Pete now as he is 6 weeks sober, checked out of rehab and engaged to model Irina Lazareanu.

Is is true this time?

Report: Lindsay Lohan leaves rehab

Sun Oct 7, 9:54 AM ET

LOS ANGELES - Lindsay Lohan has checked out of a drug and alcohol treatment program in Utah that she entered in August, according to People magazine.

Lohan, 21, left the Cirque Lodge treatment center on Friday afternoon, the magazine reported on its Web site, citing statements from her parents.

"I'm proud of her. She's moving ahead with her life," her mother, Dina, told People Friday. "Things were getting out of control. She took action. She took responsibility. She really needed to heal."

The exclusive center, which promises anonymity to clients, refused Saturday to confirm or deny the report. Calls to Lohan's publicist and attorney were not immediately returned.

Lohan's visit to Cirque Lodge was her third trip to rehab since January, a frenetic year in which she wrecked a Mercedes-Benz, released the box-office flop "I Know Who Killed Me" and was arrested more than once.

Lohan has been prominently in the public eye since becoming a star at 11 in the Disney film "The Parent Trap." She's also appeared in "Mean Girls," "Freaky Friday," "Herbie Fully Loaded" and numerous other films. In recent years, however, she's become better known for nonstop appearances on the Hollywood nightclub scene.

"Now that she is going out into the world, I can only hope for the best," her father, Michael Lohan, told People.

In May, Lohan was arrested after crashing her Mercedes-Benz into a tree in Beverly Hills. She was arrested again in July after the mother of Lohan's former personal assistant called 911 to report that her car was being chased by an SUV. The chase ended in Santa Monica, where police arrested Lohan for being behind the wheel.

In both cases, Lohan was found in possession of small amounts of cocaine.

In August, she reached a plea deal on misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges stemming from the arrests. The deal called for her to enter treatment, spend a day in jail and perform community service.

"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs," Lohan said in a statement released by her publicist last August.

What is her claim to fame?

Quickie Vegas vows for Pamela Anderson

Sun Oct 7, 11:26 AM ET

LAS VEGAS - Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon married Saturday evening between the former "Baywatch" star's performances on the Las Vegas Strip, according to published reports.

Anderson, 40, wore a white denim Valentino dress, according to a report on People magazine's Web site.

The vows were squeezed in between the 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. shows of "Hans Klok's The Beauty of Magic" at Planet Hollywood resort, casino spokeswoman Amy Sadowsky said. Anderson is starring as a magician's assistant.

"Hello, I just got married ... I did," she said after performing the second show of the night. "I'm distracted. It's a big day. A big day at the office."

Salomon, 38, is best-known for making a sex videotape with Paris Hilton, his girlfriend at the time, and was previously married to actress Shannen Doherty. Anderson was previously married to singer Kid Rock and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee.

Rumors of the couple's wedding plans have circulated since they applied for a marriage license last week.

Yuck!

Designer indicted on sex assault charges

By GREG RISLING, Associated Press Writer 21 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES - Celebrity fashion designer Anand Jon Alexander was indicted on 59 counts of sexual assault in a move prosecutors said Thursday would keep his accusers from having to testify at a preliminary hearing.

Prosecutors previously charged Alexander with more than 40 felony and misdemeanor counts involving 18 victims that included rape, sexual battery and committing a lewd act on a child. He pleaded not guilty to the earlier charges.

The indictment, unsealed Thursday, added two more victims to the original case, bringing the total number of victims to 20, and said the crimes targeted women and girls from 15 to 27 between November 2002 and March 2007.

Alexander, 33, is suspected of meeting women on the Internet then assaulting them when they visited with him about modeling opportunities.

His defense has claimed some of the women made the allegations to seek fame.

Alexander's lawyer, Anthony Brooklier, said in some of the cases, the victims either kept in contact or met with the fashion designer after the alleged crimes occurred.

"We think this is made up of whole cloth, the entire case," Brooklier said Thursday outside of court.

Alexander was arrested in March at his Beverly Hills apartment. Bail was previously set at $1.3 million but Alexander remaned in custody.

He was in court Thursday when Superior Court Judge David Wesley ordered him held without bail pending an Oct. 25 hearing. Prosecutors had asked for bail to be set at $5.1 million.

"One of the reasons in seeking the indictment is that it speeds up the process and avoids a preliminary hearing," said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office. "The nature of the charges allows victims not to testify twice."

Three arrest warrants also have been issued for Alexander in Dallas County, Texas, where authorities said they plan to seek indictments for sexual assault and extradite Alexander after his California case concludes.

Criminal investigations are also under way in New York and Massachusetts.

Alexander came to the United States from India as a teen with his sister and mother. He graduated from the Parsons School of Design in New York in 1998 and began designing jewelry and clothing.

The Lohans Still At Each Other’s Throats

Michael Lohan, despite spending the week with Lindsay, having some father-daughter one-on-one tie, is blasting Dina for her portrayal of his reunion with Lindsay.

The father/daughter estrangement stemmed from Michael’s drug abuse and anger management problems, but recently Lindsay has let him back in her life. Dina, somehow equally impressed with her own press as Michael, has been telling the media it’s been a healing experience that all parties are mutually overjoyed with.

Michael has a different story. He tells The Insider: “I can’t even say how great it’s been [spending time with Lindsay]. Dina, though, is painting this pretty picture for the media [that she’s happy about Lindsay’s relationship with me], but what she’s doing and saying behind the scenes is a totally different thing.”

Of Course, A Britney Spears Sex Tape

InTouch Weekly has made contact with a 28-year-ld Hawaiian man who claims to have a video of him and Britney Spears having sex. The video was shot without her knowledge at the Four Seasons hotel on the Kona-Kohala Coast on June 7, while Brit-Bomb was vacationing.

Says the guy (picture surfer dude accent you know is present): “It was just normal sex, we didn’t do anything crazy. It was a little disappointing. It lasted for about 25 minutes and then we passed out.”

He’s shopping around the video, which – if authentic – will be the most money anyone has ever made for 25-minutes of (what I can only assume is) missionary position intercourse.

Why Britney Lost Custody

Filed under: Britney Spears

We now know exactly what went down in court Monday when L.A .County Superior Court Commissioner Scott Gordon stripped Britney Spears of physical custody of Sean Preston and Jayden James.

As we first reported, Britney didn't follow a number of conditions the Commish laid down. But sources tell us three factors were the last straws for Gordon.



Britney was supposed to sign a document that would have given the green light for a custody evaluator to conduct psychological evaluations. Commissioner Gordon ordered Spears to get the signed document to Mark Vincent Kaplan, K-Fed's lawyer, by Monday at 10:00 AM or appear in court. She did neither.

- The judge ordered both Kevin and Britney to submit proof they had valid California driver's licenses and insurance. He also ordered that neither party drive with the children if they didn't have the proper license. Over the weekend, TMZ posted video of Spears driving with the kids in Malibu. She did not have a California license and still doesn't. The TMZ posting was discussed in court and the Commish was pissed off.

- The biggest reason for the change was Thursday night, Britney was at Sutra nightclub in Newport Beach. TMZ shot video inside the club. Various people say they saw her drinking alcohol after midnight. According to Gordon's order on September 17, neither Britney nor K-Fed were allowed to consume alcohol within 12 hours of the time they obtained physical custody of the kids. We know Britney picked the children up at 12 noon on Friday, which means she would have violated Gordon's order.

In short, Gordon was ticked off that Britney thumbed her nose at the court. Stay tuned.

Why Britney Lost Custody

Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Britney Spears

TMZ knows exactly why Britney lost custody -- she ignored the Commissioner at every turn.

Rewind to last month. L.A. County Commissioner Scott Gordon ordered Spears to do a number of things in order to maintain 50/50 custody.

Spears was ordered to meet with a drug counselor -- she didn't do it.

Spears was ordered to submit to drug testing -- she didn't do it.

Spears was ordered to enroll in parenting classes -- didn't do it.

Spears was also required to sign the judge's order -- again, she didn't.

And last Friday, Commissioner Gordon prohibited both Spears and K-Fed from driving the children unless they had a valid California driver's license. Gordon was pissed today when TMZ posted video of Spears cavalierly driving her kids around Malibu.

In short, Spears did everything wrong ... by doing nothing.

Spears ordered to give kids to Federline

By SANDY COHEN, AP Entertainment Writer Tue Oct 2, 6:38 AM ET

LOS ANGELES - Britney Spears hit another personal low, being ordered to relinquish her children by a judge who had cited her drug-and-alcohol-fueled lifestyle.

Ex-husband Kevin Federline will take Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, beginning Wednesday "until further order of the court," Los Angeles County Court Commissioner Scott M. Gordon ruled Monday.

Phone messages left for representatives of Spears and Federline were not immediately returned.

This is the latest problem to plague Spears, whose fortunes have taken a very public turn for the worse since splitting from Federline, 29, last year. The two were married in October 2004. Spears filed for divorce last November and it became official in July.

Since becoming single, Spears has appeared increasingly erratic and out-of-control. First, she was photographed at various Hollywood hotspots partying hard with Paris Hilton, with some photos capturing the pop star without panties. Then Spears shaved her head as paparazzi looked on, beat a car with an umbrella and ended up spending a month in rehab.

Last month, Gordon said Spears engaged in "habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol" and ordered her to undergo random drug and alcohol testing twice a week as part of her ongoing custody dispute with Federline.

Spears also was previously ordered to meet weekly with a "parenting coach" who was to observe and report back to the court about her parenting skills. Both Spears and Federline must complete the court's "Parenting Without Conflict" class.

Spears was set to redeem herself and return to the pop throne with a much-hyped performance at the MTV Video Music Awards last month. But it was universally panned, with Spears appearing spaced-out and lethargic — and, in some eyes, less than buff. The following week, her management firm dropped her and her divorce lawyer resigned.

Spears was then charged with misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run and driving without a valid license for allegedly crashing into a parked car in August.

The driving offenses likely compelled the judge to issue Monday's orders, said New York divorce lawyer Raoul Felder. Officials from the Department of Motor Vehicles said Spears applied for a California driver's license but did not complete the process.

"She was driving without a license with a child in the car," Felder said. "You can put aside the in and out of rehab, the shaving her head. But this? When a judge went out on a limb for her? There's no going back."

Though Spears must relinquish physical custody of the children until further ruling from the court, she and Federline still share legal custody.

Los Angeles divorce lawyer Connolly Oyler said he's surprised the children weren't taken from Spears sooner. Judges typically remove youngsters from households where parents are ordered to undergo drug testing, he said.

But, he added, all is not lost for Spears.

"If she picks a good counselor and gets a different set of friends, there's a good chance she can turn things around," he said, noting "she's only 25."

The couple is due back in court Oct. 3. Spears' new album is set to be released Nov. 13.

Kate Moss photo axed from Pete Doherty album

Atlanta, GA 9/29/2007 6:37 PM GMT (FINDITT)

Kate Moss posed for the cover of Pete Doherty’s band’s album but the photo has been axed from the ‘Babyshambles’ album in light of the pairs recent split.

Moss and Doherty split after the rocker cheated on Moss with an African model in July. Moss has reportedly moved on and is allegedly engaged to Jamie Hince.

Instead of using Moss’ provocative photos, record bosses decided to use stand-ins pictures for the album cover.

“The pictures of Kate were amazing. But no one knew who owned the copyright to them. After their nasty split they didn’t want to risk Kate or Agent Provocateur trying to sue them for using her image on the cover,” a source claims. “The decision to change the pictures wasn’t something Pete’s management or the record company took lightly.”

McDermott, who played defense attorney Bobby Donnell on The Practice, is back on primetime in the new ABC drama Big Shots alongside Michael Vartan, Joshua Molina and Christopher Titus.

Rose recently starred in the romantic comedy David and Layla opposite David Moscow.

Sporting dark brown hair and eyeglasses, Britney Spears breezed through some shopping in an upscale Atlanta mall over the weekend.

"Unless you actually spoke to her for a minute, you wouldn’t have recognized her," Juicy Couture assistant manager Jake Barnaby told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday. Spears, 25, reportedly told Barnaby that she was in Atlanta to escape stress and the paparazzi and to relax.

"She was very well put together and she was really quiet," Barnaby told the paper. "The people with her were actually causing more commotion. After a while, it was like, 'Oh, please. You're nobody. Stop.' "

One saleswoman told PEOPLE, "She seemed in good spirits and was very sweet and complimentary to everyone."

"She was looking for something to wear that night and spent way less than $1,000," the woman added. "Really, she was just in a rush, trying to get in and out. She was done in about 20 minutes."

Spears ended up purchasing a purple dog carrier, a brown eyelet bikini from the sale rack and a shirt or two, the saleswoman said.

Before heading to Georgia, Spears was charged Friday with hit-and-run causing property damage and driving without a valid license, said the Los Angeles City Attorney.

Kiefer Sutherland Formally Charged in DUI Case

Kiefer Sutherland has been formally charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI, the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office announced Friday.

Prosecutors are also seeking to revoke his probation, stemming from a previous DUI conviction in November 2004.

The 24 star, 40, faces up to one year in county jail if convicted and a $1,000 fine, plus an additional six months if a judge deems he violated probation.

His arraignment is set for Oct. 16. According to a legal source, Sutherland has hired attorney Blair Berk, who is also currently representing Lindsay Lohan.

The actor's rep wasn't immediately available for comment. A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Television, which produces 24, said Friday that for now, the news of the charges has no impact on the series.

Sutherland was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in the early morning of Sept. 25 in Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles police department.

After leaving a FOX network event at Area nightclub, Sutherland made an illegal U-turn. Officers pulled him over, and the actor failed a field sobriety test.

He was arrested and released on $25,000 bail.

Because of his previous DUI conviction, Sutherland faces a mandatory minimum sentence of four days in jail if convicted for this latest incident, which was his fourth DUI-related arrest.

In 1989, he was arrested for DUI and carrying a concealed and loaded weapon. In a deal with prosecutors, he pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving, and the other charges were dropped.

He was arrested for DUI again in 1993, and pleaded out the same way. He was given the option of serving 12 days in jail or performing 211 hours of community service, and opted for the latter.

Prosecutors: Michelle Rodriguez Violated Probation

Michelle Rodriguez has failed to fulfill the terms of her probation and may face jail time, the Los Angeles City Attorney's office announced Friday.

"She hasn't shown proof of enrollment to complete 30 days of community service," said City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan. "She could face jail time, but it's up to the judge."

A hearing for the matter is set for Friday.

Rodriguez, 29, had been serving an extended probation term for numerous driving infractions.

In May 2006, she served only four hours and 20 minutes (of a two-month sentence) at the Lynwood, Calif. jail for violating probation, stemming from a DUI arrest in Hawaii in December 2005.

She served, however, just over two days in a Honolulu jail in that case.

In June 2004, Rodriguez had been placed on three years' probation after pleading no contest to DUI and driving with a suspended license from two separate incidents in the Hollywood area in 2003.

Her rep was not immediately available for comment.

Ice-T's lovely wife CoCo sure has a lot of junk in that trunk -- and her man just can't get enough!

TMZ was at The Plumm in NYC last night, where after rapping a few songs on stage, the "Law & Order: SVU" star pulled the always classy CoCo on stage so she could bend over and give the Original Gangsta a handful of booty.

Ah, married life.

Lohan To Leave Rehab This Week?

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan could be released from rehab as early as this weekend, according to reports.

The star checked into the Cirque Lodge facility in Utah in July to seek counseling following two drunk-driving charges earlier this year.

The 21-year-old also sought help to battle her drug demons after she was caught in possession of cocaine during her DUI arrest.

But Lohan is expected to be released later this week, according to the New York Daily News.

A friend tells the newspaper, "I don't think she knows yet."

Take the offer Brit!

Elton John And Victoria Beckham offer homes to Britney Spears

It has been reported that Sir Elton John and Victoria Beckham have become the latest celebrities to offer their homes as a retreat for Britney Spears.

Britney, who attended rehab earlier this year and faces losing her two sons, has been told that she can use Sir Elton’s place to hide away from the media frenzy surrounding her.

Elton said that “He feels so sorry for her because she had fame at such a young age and hasn’t handled it well.”

Victoria Beckham has also reportedly offered Britney a helping hand and has asked their mutual friend, choreographer Adam Shankman, to set up a meeting between them so that she can try and help her out.

Britney currently has to undergo random weekly alcohol and drug tests as part of her joint custody agreement with ex-husband Kevin Federline for their sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

It is nice to see other celebrities helping out Britney at her time of need.

Let’s hope that she takes them up on the offer of help.

Tabloid Hell: Pete Doherty gives Kate Moss a dead mouse!

Babyshambles man thought a bunch of roses might be a tad cliché

24.Sep.07 10:12am

As is the case for any other day of the week ending with the letters "'D', 'A' and 'Y'", open the red tops today (September 24) and you'll find another in-no-way-made-up yarn about Pete Doherty being set to appear on The Weakest Link, feeding his kitten crack, sharing a bed with Shane McGowan or some such revelation.

Today he's given his ex, Kate Moss, a dead mouse as a gift, apparently.

Although there's no word on from where the news originated, let alone any quotes from the pair, after being inspired by Courtney Love (who he supposedly shared a Wetherspoons pub meal deal with recently), Pete's forked out for a rodent corpse encased in a brooch and sent it to the vacuum-nosed model.

"Pete is trying to emphasise how he feels about Kate - defeated, crushed and broken, like a dead animal," explained 'a source'.
