LiLo faces two hours of questioning about blowing lines and driving drunk. Kate Gosselin's face is full of botched Botox. Courtney Love is an expert on Harvard. Mel Gibson gets restraining order against the mother of his child. TGIFriday gossip.
- After Lindsay Lohan finishes her criminal proceedings for violating probation, she'll have to reckon civil proceedings about her 2007 car chase-turned-DUI, where she will be questioned under oath about using blow. She's being sued by one of the passengers in the car. Apparently Lindsay's lawyer rejected a settlement offer, and now the passenger is dead set on going to trial and shaming her. Or, you know, squeezing a compromised cash settlement out of her. [AP, Radar, image via Splash]
- Speaking of Lindsay, add this to the infinite list of things that could cause a false positive on her booze-sniffing SCRAM bracelet: Spray tans. [TMZ]
- Lady Gaga's proud papa Joseph Germanotta (henceforth "Papa Gaga") phoned in an order of a "$700 magnum of Laurent Perrier champagne" at a strip club his dear daughter was partying at. Apparently the Lady of Gah was wearing "a transparent jumpsuit with a few carefully placed sequins over her nipples and private parts," so "it's good Dad didn't show up in person." Agreed. [P6]
Doctors testify to the tragic case of Kate Gosselin's botched Botox: "The lateral part of her brow is elevated in an abnormally high position, which my patients refer to as McDonald's arches!" said George Washington University's chief of plastic surgery. (Can you believe he gives interviews to Us?) Another surgeon concurs: Botox forces random muscles in Kate's face to "overact, giving this Jack Nicholson type of look!" Bad Botox is best viewed with a chaser of bad metaphors. [Us]
- Apparently Tiger Woods and Elin Nordegren are divorcing, after all, and the papers will be signed, sealed, and deliverly "imminent[ly]." Elin's "very, very aggressive" lawyer secured a $750 million settlement, allegedly. [Radar]
Alexandra Richards, DJ daughter of Rolling Stone Keith Richards and model Patti Hansen, did a spread for French Playboy. Between her, Georgia-May Jagger, and Kelly Osbourne's reinvention, British rockstars' daughters are having a moment. [P6, NSFW scans at IMeanWhat]
- Courtney Love did an impromptu five-song set at a tavern in Boston, where she dropped the "H-Bomb" (actual phrase out of Courtney Love's mouth) referring to a friend who went to Harvard. This is the first time in the history of the English language that "Courtney Love" and "Harvard" have occurred in the same sentence. [P6]
- Jerry Springer, "the original hooker-loving ex-pol turned TV star," think Eliot Spitzer will be great on CNN. They should start a club. [P6]
- Mel Gibson filed a restraining order against ex-girlfriend, baby mama, and Russian music industry something-or-other Oksana Grigorieva, a woman I wish we'd paid a bit more attention to when we still had the chance, because the Russian tabloids had the weirdest stories about her "collecting men" and keeping a racy "sex diary." Luckily, Oksana promises her fans, "you will find out everything quite soon." Tell-all? Please? [Radar]
