Happy Tuesday Kiddies, and away I go. I hope everyone had a nice long weekend, lord knows I did.
Lindsey Lohan was arrested on suspicion of a DUI over the weekend when her car hit a curb and investigators found cocaine at the scene. The next day pictures surfaced of her passed out in the front seat of a car and puking on the side of the road. Yeah, I love a drunk Lohan. I hope she was the only one who made a drunken fool of herself this weekend.
Well the world has a new American Idol, and she goes by the name Jordin Sparks. She beat out Blake Lewis in the season finale last night. The 2-hour, star-studded finale featured performances by Carrie Underwood, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Taylor Hicks, Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Doug E. Fresh, Tony Bennett, Bette Midler, as well as this seasons top 12. One of the strangest pairings of the night was Sanjaya performing with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, for which the stage included a wind machine to blow around Sanjaya’s hair. I have to say this was the worst season of Idol since Fantasia won.
Actress Mischa Barton was hospitalized in Los Angeles Sunday evening after apparently suffering a negative reaction to medication. The celebrity news Web site TMZ reported Barton, 21, was rushed to a medical facility from a Memorial Day barbecue, where she had a few holiday cocktails — which apparently did not mix with antibiotics she had been taking. The OC star had been sick with bronchitis after traveling to London, Paris and Cannes, France, in recent weeks. TMZ said Barton was resting comfortably at the medical facility, and a publicist for the actress said she was with family members and feeling much better. Well that now makes 2 drunken young celebutants this update.
Charles Nelson Reilly, a Tony-winning actor known for his ribald humor, has died from complication of pneumonia in Los Angeles at the age of 76. Reilly, who died Friday, acted and directed on Broadway, but more widely recognized for his appearances on talk shows and game shows such as The Match Game, The New York Times reported Monday. In 1962, he won a Tony Award for his turn as Bud Frump in the original Broadway staging of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. On Broadway, he was known for his direction of The Belle of Amherst, a one-woman play starring Julie Harris based on the life of Emily Dickinson. Reilly later directed Harris again, opposite Charles Durning in a revival of The Gin Game.
‘Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End’ provided its makers with buried treasure-like bounty, pulling in an estimated $112.55 million as of Sunday. With the long Memorial Day weekend still going strong, ‘Shrek the Third,’ which was No. 1 last week, slipped to No. 2 with $51.04 million. ‘Spiderman 3′ also was down a notch to third with $13.7 million as Disney’s block-buster Pirates sequel pillaged most of the loot. ‘Bug’ debuted at No. 4 with $3.26 million in ticket sales, Box Office Mojo reported Sunday. ‘Georgia Rule’ and ‘Disturbia’ each were bumped down a spot, to fifth and sixth places with $1.86 million and $1.76 million in sales respectively. I still want to see this movie, even though I heard it was a little on the long side, like 3 hours long. And with numbers like this, there is definetly going to be a fourth one on the way.
2 more stories to report, TV star Ty Pennington has pleaded no contest to drunk driving charges, according to TMZ.com.

And finally, The National Enquirer is reporting that Paris Hilton was at a club and some people were laughing at her. She apparently thought they were laughing because she is going to jail. Not quite…it may have been the toilet paper stuck to her panties that was hanging out of her skirt. Ha, oh that Paris, always good for a laugh.
