Lindsay Lohan, fave target of celebrity journalists everywhere, appeared on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show this morning and revealed her wishes for the tabloids and the paps to go away. No surprise there. Seacrest tried to goad LiLo into divulging details of her “relationship” with Samantha Ronson, but Lindsay wasn’t taking the bait. She did mention however that she wanted to spend most of her time with “someone special.” Ummm, if SamRo were the person she’s spending almost all her time with, would it not be a logical assumption that Sam is the one she’s referring to here? If that’s the case, she should just be open about it. Sure Samantha Ronson may be a great DJ, but if Lindsay were playing for the other team you’d think she’d be able to find a better teammate. I doubt we’ll ever get down (please pardon the pun) to the truth on this one. Here’s the audio from the interview:

Madonna Minus Guy Plus A-Rod Minus Wife Plus Lenny = One Big Mess
Is Madonna with A-Rod? Is she staying with hubby Guy Ritchie? Is A-Rod’s wife “riding Lenny’s rod” (TMZ’s words)? This whole fiasco is getting too complicated, but just perpetuates the idea that eventually almost everyone in show biz will have “been with” everyone else. For the record, Lenny is vehemently denying, saying: "There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself. This is unequivocally 100% not true. Cynthia is a friend and is here with the godfather of her baby, who is also Alex's trainer, his wife and their baby girl. She came here to escape from everything happening in New York City. I opened my home to her as a friend and I find it extremely hurtful that I am now being referred to as an adulterer." It may be true, but Lenny’s got a rep for getting around so who knows anymore. Stop the insanity!

BUSY Week for Kylie Minogue
Kylie Minogue (yes, the one whose biggest US hit was in the 80s) has received the Order of the British Empire. Prince Charles presented her with the OBE for her services to music yesterday. It’s hard to believe that Kylie has been working in the music industry for twenty years - she has experienced much success internationally selling over 60 million records. Although she may not be as big in North America, she’s always been huge overseas. And I’ve always liked her poppy style and cutesy looks. Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005, took a yearlong hiatus, and has been healthy since then. Then last week there were photos of her in Paris looking cozy with former flame Olivier Martinez. Is there a reconciliation in the works for this pair? Didn’t he blatantly cheat on her? Olivier is a playa, girl - watch your step this time.

Christie Brinkley’s Nasty Divorce
Divorce is never easy, and even less so when it’s in the public eye. When you add a barely legal girl to the mix, it gets even worse. Such is the case right now for Christie Brinkley, 54, and Peter Cook, 49, whose divorce trial began July 2 in Long Island, NY. Cook admitted on the stand yesterday to spending $3000 a month on Internet porn and an affair with an 18 year old he hired to work in his architectural firm. This is going to be a nasty divorce and custody of the couple’s two boys is the main issue. Peter, dude, 3 grand a month on Internet porn? Are you freakin’ kidding me? I don’t know what kind of porn you’re lookin’ at, but most sites let you see all you want for like $29.95. If you’re paying that much I don’t wanna know the kind of stuff you’re looking for. And Christie shouldn’t take it personally. At 54, she’s STILL one of the hottest looking women in Hollywood. Smokin’! If he’ll cheat on you, he’ll cheat on anyone. That goes for anyone, really, especially in Hollywood. Living in and being famous in Hollywood is one easy way to test the fidelity of any marriage.

Hancock’s Homosexual Blunders
GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Association Against Defamation, is calling out box office giant Hancock for an exchange of dialogue between Will Smith and Jason Bateman. From their site: At approximately 24 minutes into the film, while Jason Bateman’s PR whiz works to rehabilitate the superhero’s tarnished image, he shows Hancock three comic book images in an effort to inspire him. But Hancock rejects the traditional image of costumed superheroes as he responds to each one: “Homo. Homo in red. Norwegian homo.” I can see where they’re coming from. They don’t like the word “homo”. Couldn’t Will Smith react to each picture in an effeminate tone saying something that would make any fashionista proud, gay or straight? That would probably go over better, and even elicit more laughs!
