I would be an absolute fool. I hope this show stays on for years. As for Drew, he's been charming and complimentary, and he had me on the show to plug my book Priceless Memories. He devoted half of the show to me! He's a charming man, and kind and gracious. To think that I would say anything derogatory about him is idiocy."

Now, if the outfit is not looking good, then the whole package is off. And if you feel off, you're not gonna have a good night. So how do you get the best results? G.t.l., baby. Gym, tan, laundry. Because if every thing's put together and you feel great, you look great, awesome night. (Vinny) I don't follow those rules at all, especially gym, tanning, laundry.

Lindsay Lohan doesn't think it's fair that she's been ordered to go directly to rehab after being released from jail. After meeting with Lindsay on Tuesday, her lawyer Shawn Champman Holley told reporters, "The issue is how much time she will have once she's released before she has to serve the second part of her sentence, which is rehab."
She continued, "She'd obviously like to spend some time with her family, and there's at least some question as to whether or not she'll go directly to rehab. I think it's only fair she spend some time with her family, and that's what she'd like for me to emphasize to Judge Revel. I think there's a push now for her to go directly to rehab from jail, and we don't think that would be fair."
Before she was booked on July 20th, Judge Revel made it clear that Lindsay was to be evaluated and sent to rehab within 24 hours of her release from jail. Although she was sentenced to 90 days behind bars, it's expected she'll be released next week because of overcrowding.
Holley told reporters that she didn't know exactly when Lohan would get out, but noted, she's "eating and drinking. . . she looks great."
LINDSAY'S EXTENSIONS EXPLAINED
Although Lindsay got to keep her hair extensions while in jail unlike other inmates, it was not a sign of special treatment -- they were just too hard to remove.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore told the Los Angeles Times that inmates have their extensions removed upon entering jail only if the fake hair is detachable -- Lindsay's, however, "were sewn too close to the scalp to remove."

Oksana Grigorieva's "chief spokesperson" has resigned because the Mel Gibson scandal was taking up too much of his time.
Steve Jaffe, who was once a consultant to Bill Clinton, told RadarOnline.com, "The case was so all encompassing in terms of my time and the strict orders by the judge. I have other clients in serious crises who require my time.

In one rant he says, "You were a sour-faced expletive today. Do you think it was tricky to get that expletive tree in the hole, the placenta and organize that expletive? Do you know how much expletive time and money went into that? Did you thank me? Did you even have a expletive smile on your face? expletive, no . . .You don't give a expletive, do you? Everything about you stinks, and I am seeing it real loud and clear."

Rachel Uchitel reportedly ditched Celebrity Rehab and announced she was quitting the show, but producers have since lured her back. An insider told RadarOnline.com, "After a very intense day of filming, Rachel just couldn't handle being at the Pasadena Recovery Center where Celebrity Rehab is filmed, and she decided to leave."
Tiger Woods' number one mistress reportedly left the Pasadena Recovery Center and checked into the swanky L'Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills because she had trouble coping with the issues that were discussed in rehab. Rachel is reportedly being treated for a problem with alcohol and pills.
Radar's source said, "Producers arrived at the hotel the following morning, and calm prevailed. Rachel simply needed some time away from the intense pressure and scrutiny that she is dealing with. She agreed to go back to Celebrity Rehab 4. Rachel has never had to face these issues before, and talking about it pushed her over the edge, and her instinct was to run. Producers made her realize that if she continues to run away from her issues, she will never be able to live a healthy life."
The source added that Rachel isn't legally allowed to talk about Tiger so it's unlikely there will be any breaking gossip news coming out of the show.

Zac Efron isn't as squeaky-clean as he looks. The former Disney star reportedly showed up at a New York City strip club last weekend with High School Musical co-star Corbin Bleu and spent $2,000 on strippers and booze.
A source told the New York Post, "Zac came in Sunday night around midnight with Corbin and one other male friend, who paid for everything. They were seated in the VIP lounge behind the main stage. There was only a rail between them and the girls who were dancing. They ordered one bottle of Belvedere vodka and were enthralled with the dancers. They were interacting a lot with the girls and reaching out and showering money on them. There were three girls who Zac and his friends particularly liked and they asked to do personal dances at their table."
The insider continued, "The girls were all slim pretty brunettes, a bit like Zac's girlfriend, Vanessa Hudgens. They were two Americans, called Shannon and Brandi, and a gorgeous Brazilian called Raquel. Zac and the boys had a great time and left around 3 a.m. Monday morning."
Hudgens wasn't with Efron earlier that night for the premiere of Charlie St. Cloud, however she did attend the Los Angeles screening last week.
