Lindsey's Half-Sister, Russell Simmon's Payments and Matchmaker Mel

As if Lindsay Lohan ‘s life wasn’t already drama-filled, her dad, Michael Lohan, just dropped a major bomb on her and the rest of the Lohan clan. It seems that Michael hooked up with another woman during one of his “off” periods with ex-wife Dina Lohan and actually fathered a daughter with the other woman. Which means that somewhere out there is a Lohan half-sister that the world didn’t know about. Michael Lohan has said that his love child even has some of the classic Lohan features. Wonder how LiLo is going to handle this one? And more importantly, how does the secret Lohan sister feel about being a Lohan? Of course, Michael is really only a father in the technical sense, he hasn’t provided any sort of financial support to the other daughter (not that he provides any financial support to his kids with Dina either).

Russell Simmons will have to fork over $40,000 a month in child support to Kimora Lee Simmons for his two daughters. Now $40,000 is about what most regular people make in a year, much less in a month. I guess baby fur coats and kiddie spa treatments don’t come cheap these days.

Mary-Kate Olsen made an appearance on Letterman for her new movie, The Wackness, where she revealed that she actually went to school with one-half of the World’s Most Hated and Vomit-Inducing Couple, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag. Apparently, Spencer had a reputation even in his high school days. She said that he was on the soccer team and would often lose his temper and walk off the field during games. She even agreed when Letterman asked her if she thought Spencer was “wormy.” Spencer, ever the gentleman, responded to Mary-Kate’s comment by saying that it must be tough being the less-attractive Olsen twin. I think he’s forgetting that Mary-Kate could buy him up in a heartbeat if she wanted to.

And guess who’s playing matchmaker for Britney Spears now? Her buddy, Mel Gibson! It seems that Mel is eager to set Britney up with one of his sons. He thinks the two would have a lot in common seeing as how they’ve both had stints in rehab. Yeah, somehow I don’t think that’s the kind of thing you want to lead with when you’re trying to set two people up. Thank goodness that Britney was smart enough to say, “No thanks.”

Britney and Lindsay Dating, Traditional Ashlee and ...Scarlett's Non-Touring Schedule

Ashlee Simpson is turning out to be more a traditionalist that I’d originally pegged her for. She just announced that she has taken her new husband’s, Pete Wentz, last name and will officially change her name to Ashlee Wentz. As far as Ashlee’s professional name (yeah, try saying that with a straight face) she will be adding the Wentz name to it as well, which will make her Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. Well, at least until the couple announces that they’re divorcing due to irreconcilable differences (i.e. Joe Simpson). I mean, really, do you expect this Simpson marriage to end any differently that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey’s short-lived marriage. All Joe Simpson needs to do now is sign Ashlee Simpson up for another MTV reality show!

Lindsay Lohan has long been plagued with rumors that she and her BFF, Samantha Ronson, are more than just friends. And recent photos of the duo are only adding fuel to the fire. The paparazzi have snapped Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson shopping, traveling and hanging out, which are all very normal friend activities. It’s a little harder to explain the pic of the two girls kissing though. And why is Lindsay wearing a ring with Samantha Ronson’s initials on it? That’s not a normal best friend ritual either!

Lindsay’s parents seem divided on the whole “Is our daughter really a lesbian?” issue. Dina Lohan has denied the allegations and insists that the two are just close friends. Lindsay’s father, Michael Lohan, on the other hand went as far as saying that it’s obvious what Lindsay and Samantha are – and then promptly took his statement back.

Jamie Lynn Spears and fiance, Casey Aldridge, celebrated Memorial Day like any other barefoot and pregnant teenage couple in America did — by shopping at Wal-Mart. The couple emerged from their Wal-Mart shopping spree with a cartful of purchases including several cases of… soda. See, celebrities really are just like us!

And what about Jamie Lynn’s older sis, Britney Spears ? Well rumor has it that Britney has a new boyfriend. In all of the hoopla over Britney Spears hanging out with new pal, Mel Gibson, it seems that people overlooked just who it was that was really by her side. So who is the new Britney Spears boy-toy? Well, none other than her agent, Jason Trawick. Hmm, I wonder if Britney ran this by her father first – since he seems to be controlling most of her life these days. The good thing is that Britney is looking better and better. We can only hope that she’s finally on the right track again.

And finally some really good news – Scarlett Johansson will definitely not be hitting the road to promote her album. Thank God! Scarlett’s debut album was panned by music critics, but Scarlett claims that she never really wanted a music career. Then why record the album, right? Well, it seems that the only reason she agreed to record the album was because it was an opportunity that her struggling musician friend who have spent years trying to break

Miley's Ratings, Britney Being Good and Lindsey's Mom's Mother...Award? Really?

Well, it’s been less than a week since the latest Miley Cyrus racy photo scandal broke. Her “artistic” partially nude photos didn’t go over too well with parents of tweens and the backlash may be starting already. There are reports that ratings for last Sunday’s new episode of *Disney Channel’*s original series “Hannah Montana“ were down more than 30 percent from the last premiere. So is the dip in ratings due to the writers’ strike or is it just because parents are not permitting their tweens to watch “Hannah Montana” anymore? I mean, it’s not like we’re talking about “Desperate Housewives” here – “Hannah Montana” is as wholesome as TV gets these days.

Oh well, if Miley Cyrus moves away from Disney we can still count on the *Jonas Brother*s to provide some wholesome entertainment. That is until one of the JoBros gets caught up in their own naked photo scandal or worse. Oops, did I say that out loud?<p>Jonas Brothers fans will love this next piece of gossip – it looks like the Jonas Brothers have signed a deal to star in their very own Jonas Brothers 3-D movie due to be released next year! Hey, if the Miley Cyrus/“Hannah Montana” 3-D movie raked in that much cash surely the Jonas Brothers can top it. Perez Hilton is already planning his outfit for the Jonas Brothers 3-D movie premiere.

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and thankfully there is plenty of hot Hollywood mom gossip to go around. Britney Spears surprised everyone by actually showing up to her court date on time. This coming after a slew of missed court dates and finally having her visitation rights taken away completely. Could Britney really be getting her act together? Looks that way – the court has added more visitation rights for Britney Spears including overnight stays with her sons. Way to go Brit!

Angelina Jolie‘s pregnancy is old news, but there are now more reports popping up that she and Brad Pitt may really be expecting twins! The reports differ – some claim that she is having a boy and a girl while the latest report from Star magazine says it’s two girls. Either way, I’m sure the Jolie-Pitt clan is anxiously awaiting the arrival of the latest member (or members) of their family.

And here’s a real shocker – Lindsey Lohan‘s mom, Dina Lohan, was honored with a Mother of the Year award! OK, not really. It was more like “Long Island Top Mom,” but the fact that Dina Lohan would receive any kind of award for mothering is beyond me. It makes me wonder who Dina was up against for the award. Amy Fisher’s mom, maybe?

Not only that, but TMZ claims that Dina Lohan actually skipped out on a family counseling session to accept her award. Now there’s a woman who has her priorities in order.

And finally, Jessica Alba did a very sweet thing for other mothers to be this past week. The very pregnant Jessica Alba visited with students at a Los Angeles high school for pregnant teen mothers. Not only did she take the time to talk to the girls and visit each classroom, but she came bearing baby gifts for all 200 girls! How cool is that?
