Lindsay Lohan kicked off 'Manson Girls' movie

Lindsay Lohan just can't find a break these days, so when word starts spreading that she's been dropped from that new project Manson Girls, you know we've got to jump on it. L.A. Weekly's Deadline Hollywood says the movie, which was to start production in July, will move on without LiLo as Nancy Pitman.

The word 'round the campfire is she's off the roster because nobody wanted to star opposite the poor lass, despite spin saying she was busy with this or that. Seriously, a movie can't start shooting if no one shows up to be in the cast. As for Slohan, the New York Daily News saw her drowning her sorrows in tequila with Lauren Conrad at the Crown Lounge in L.A. That'll fix the problem.

Lindsay Lohan looks for fame on 'Ugly Betty'

Speaking of drug-addled young fame-seekers, Lindsay Lohan is all set to appear in that season finale of Ugly Betty. It'll be the first of six episodes she'll be appearing in, after seeing what wonders working on TV has done for Britney Spears.

The May 22 episode will feature LiLo in a flashback to America Ferrara's high school days, People reports. That would explain the hideous outfits in this pic.

Also on the episode will be fellow disaster zone Naomi Campbell, who is likely out to prove she's not all snootiness and cell phones. Cast member Michael Urie says it's all good, though.

"She is so willing to make fun of herself. She really is awesome," he said. You know what they say; if you can't laugh at yourself, The Juice* will laugh for you.

Lindsay Lohan stole girl's $11,000 mink coat

Lindsay Lohan sure knows what she likes, since taking a woman's $11,000 blond mink coat at a party is apparently no big deal to her.

The New York Post says Masha Markova, a 22-year-old Columbia University student, went to a birthday party for Stavros Niarchos on Jan. 26 at 1Oak nightclub. She wore the coat, a gift from her grandmother, and left it in a bin with other jackets. When she went back to pick it up, it was gone!

She thought it was just gone, but then two weeks later she was flipping through a copy of Ok! when lo and behold, LiLo was wearing the coat! She contacted club owners with no luck, so she turned to her immigration lawyer, Merrill Cohen, who called LiLo's attorney, Blair Berk. Mere hours passed before 1Oak called.

"They were very discreet, never mentioned a name or even the word 'coat,' " Markova said. "They just said, 'We're going to bring you something.' " And two days later the coat was returned, reeking of booze and cigarettes, with a tear in the lining. No Markova is seeking $10,000 for the "unauthorized rental," the Post says.

First Chris Brown's bodyguard beats up our dear paparazzo Luis Santana and takes his camera, and now Lindsay Lohan steals an $11,000 coat? You'd think they'd remember they have the money to buy this stuff for themselves.

Lindsay Lohan recording with Snoop Dogg

Lindsay Lohan’s music career is still kicking, apparently, since Fox News’ Roger Friedman writes she’s working on a third album. She’s left Tommy Mottola’s employ and headed over to Motown, which is still part of Universal. What’s interesting is the cast of characters she’s planning to work with.

Besides Timbaland and Pharrell, she’s already recorded a track with the Doggfather himself, Snoop Dogg. Universal is blowing a ton of cash on the album, which may be one of of the final gasps in her marketability, should it fail. If parents Dina and Michael cared at all about the rehabbed LiLo, they’d keep an eye on Snoop’s penchant for the ganja.

Lindsay Lohan got drunk, jealous all weekend

Lindsay Lohan was at Hawaiian Tropic Zone in New York with her DJ pal Samantha Ronson, who was running the boards at the club Saturday night. No big surprise, since she often hangs out with Ronson at gigs. Also no big surprise are reports that LiLo got stinking drunk.

The New York Daily News says two cocktail waitresses watched the 21-year-old actress suck down vodka cocktails until she about almost passed out at 4 a.m. and left.

"She was chain-smoking all night," a source said. "Her eyes were a little glassy and she was holding her head in her hands, but she left on her own two feet." Although it sounds like getting back on her own two feet has been pretty difficult.

The New York Post adds their two cents by saying while the pair were partying the night before at the Beatrice Inn, she got a little protective of her buddy.

"Ashley Olsen said hello to Sam at the Beatrice, and Lindsay screamed at her, 'Get your 15-year-old Full House a-- away from my girlfriend,' " their source said. Maybe the shame of acting out is what led to all that drinking.

Rupert Grint hates mindless L.A. starlets

While Daniel Radcliffe gets all the kudos for the Harry Potter series, let's not forget his sidekick Rupert Grint, who sounds like he's got a decent-sized noodle between his ears. The 19-year-old actor was quoted by Showbiz Spy as saying he won't be moving to L.A., saying Lindsay Lohan is the reason he's changed his mind.

“I met Lindsay last summer and she talked about herself a lot," Grint said. “She said she was going to win an Oscar before she turns 25. I just kept thinking, ‘But you can’t act.’ ” Ouch!

And then young Rupert says something so profound, it has moved us to break our yearlong ban on printing the name Paris Hilton: “I haven’t met Paris and don’t want to either,” he said. “She and Lindsay are the type of girls you need to stay away from.”

With that kind of level-headedness, it's no wonder Grint is winning the attentions of Jessie Cave in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Your daily troubled starlet update

• Troubled starlet Mischa Barton will plead no contest in her DUI case Thursday, People reports, landing three years of probation, a three-month alcohol education class and a fine of $1,700 — but no jail time. A related marijuana charge will also be dropped.

• Troubled starlet Naomi Campbell has been banned from British Airways after being booted off a flight after a scuffle with a cop, British tabloids said Tuesday. The airline hasn’t confirmed it, and Campbell’s spokeswoman told Reuters, “Naomi has been flying with British Airways for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably.”

• Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan was sued Monday by her former bodyguard. TMZ says David Kim claims LiLo owes him big bucks for unpaid security detail, including driving her around L.A. He wants $55,000; Lohan’s reps had no comment.

• Troubled starlet Britney Spears might be getting into the furniture business. The New York Post says Spears’ dad, Jamie, is trying to make Brit a spokeswoman job for Danish furniture broker Claus Hjelmbak. Hjelmbak denies this (wouldn’t you?) but the Post says a possible deal has been in the works for two months.

• Troubled starlet Pete Doherty has been jailed for 14 weeks for violating his probation and for using drugs, the BBC says. The porkpie-topped “rocker” apparently missed an appointment with his probation team and was late for another. A spokesman told NME that Doherty might appeal the sentence.

• Troubled starlet Amy Winehouse is not in the news today, which is a shame, because we almost had a Troubled Starlet Yahtzee. But we suspect she’ll pop up on TMZ soon enough, freebasing ground-up hippo tusk or some such nonsense.

Lindsay Lohan will be a Manson girl in movie

There's no rest for Lindsay Lohan -- except for those stints in rehab -- so E! Online announces that our go-to girl will play Charles Manson devotee Nancy Pitman in Manson Girls.

Pitman, as you may recall, joined the Manson family at 16, and was with the psycho the night his followers killed Sharon Tate and four others. Always one to generate problems, a source tells E! that LiLo will be insured by the production company in case she flakes out.

This is in addition to her planned shoot for Ye Olde Times with Jack Black and David Arquette, which won't come out until next year. It brings a whole new meaning to I Know Who Killed Me.

Lindsay Lohan went crazy at sex tape news

We've got to keep our Lindsay Lohan dirt nice and fresh, so while we first told you she made a cell-phone sex "tape" with onetime boyfriend Calum Best (which later turned out to not be her), we hear Linds was none too pleased about last week's "news."

The U.K.'s Sun, the most trusted name in cross-Atlantic journalism, says LiHo flipped the script when word got out a sex tape was out in the open. A source says she called Best when the gossip commenced and was less than happy, screaming at the male model for being careless.

""I can't believe you would ever f---ing do this to me," she allegedly shouted into the phone. "I should have listened to everyone. "I should never have f---ing trusted you."

This was over voicemail, of course, contributing further to The Juice*'s theory that society is no longer able to directly converse with each other. In fact, she yammered so long, she had to call back and yell some more.

"It's everywhere now, all over the net," she blathered. "Everyone's seen it. How f---ing could you?" Except he didn't. But was she angry that he made a sex tape, or that a possible sex tape they made was released, hmm? We'd like to infer the latter, though we have no proof whatsoever.

Calum Best denies Lindsay Lohan sex tape

No sooner do we get done telling you that Lindsay Lohan just may have a sex tape with Calum Best, than his rep tells Us that it’s not true. “Sorry to disappoint you, but it’s not Calum in the tape,” the British model’s peeps said.

So who is it in that grainy image splashed on Google image searches? TMZ says it was some tramp in Illinois goofing off with her boyfriend. The stills were taken from an old XTube video that was posted two months ago.

There you go, folks; The Juice* finds out the truth for you once again!

Now they say Lindsay Lohan has a sex tape

It's been days -- days! -- since we wrote something unflattering about Lindsay Lohan, so thank goodness for the blog GossipRocks, which says there's a sex tape of LaLa floating around out there.

The proof? A grainy still from a cellphone camera making the rounds (way too X-rated to show here) that could be any blond with no self-respect. The site says former boyfriend Calum Best filmed the deeds on his phone and sent it to his friend. That's going way beyond kissing and telling in our book.

Apparently somebody who knows somebody says somebody emailed the pic to LoHo, who is spazzing because she "can't remember it being filmed." Of course she wouldn't: She and Best were an item about a year before she entered rehab, so we doubt there's much that could be remembered through that vodka fog.

Dina Lohan tries to get rich off her other kids

Leave it to Dina Lohan to find a way to keep oozing onto TV screens without her infamous daughter, Lindsay.

E! announced Tuesday that Dina will be starring in Living Lohan, a "reality" show following her around as she pimps out her other kids, most notably 14-year-old Ali. Don't worry, 11-year-old son Cody and 20-year-old Michael will make appearances, too.

“The Lohans are one of the most intriguing families in the entertainment industry today,” Lisa Berger of E! said. “This is a family that knows how to roll with the punches and come out on top. Dina is an incredibly hard-working, passionate mom that I think our viewers will find both relatable and highly entertaining.”

Entertaining? Only if LiLo falls off the wagon on the air.

Hugh Hefner wants Lindsay Lohan in 'Playboy'

With that New York photo shoot under her, um, belt, Lindsay Lohan is free to explore all sorts of Marilyn Monroe-related career moves (of which overdosing on drugs may or may not be an option). Next up: Playboy’s Hugh Hefner reportedly wants LiLo to take it all off to pose in his mag.

The inspiration would be Marilyn’s nude swimming scene in Something’s Got to Give, the New York Post says. Oh, something’s got to give, all right.

Mama Dina may not be too happy with Hef’s plan, though, since she said of the New York spread, “It was very tastefully done. I don’t look at them like it’s Playboy; she was being a character.” What a way to have both the worlds of being a celebrity rip-off and pornography collide!

Aaron's (pot) party

Chalk another legal mishap up to one of Tampa Bay's Carter brothers. Aaron Carter -- Apollo Beach native, floppy-haired brother of Backstreet Boy Nick, prepubescent wooer of Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and (reportedly) Brooke Hogan -- was busted for drug possession Thursday in Texas after cops nabbed him for speeding and allegedly finding marijuana in his car. Cater (shown above performing at Lithia Elementary in 2001 ... was he ever so young?) was to be arraigned Friday morning, according to E! Online. Kimble County sheriff Mike Chapman said officers found less than 2 ounces of pot in his car. Poor, poor Aaron -- when will you learn that not even drugs will make songs like "Stride (Jump on the Fizzy)" and "That's How I Beat Shaq" palatable?

Lindsay Lohan wasn't clear about being naked

A lot of Juice* readers are wondering what in the world Lindsay Lohan was thinking when she recreated Marilyn Monroe's nude photo finale. Not only is it tempting fate by aping a starlet who died of a drug overdose, but many can’t believe LiLo would take it all off for New York magazine.

But RadarOnline is suggesting that Linds may have agreed to do them because she didn’t know the most revealing shots would be published. The music source says rumor has it 78-year-old photographer Bert Stern (picture that one, folks) just might’ve suggested that the nudes “would be displayed only in a museum or as part of his book and that the tamer shots would go to New York.” It didn’t quite happen that way, obvs.

The magazine had no real comment, with communications manager Lauren Starke sending a statement that simply said, “We’re very grateful to Lindsay Lohan for participating in this historic photo shoot with Bert Stern and we hope that she is as pleased with the beautiful results as we are.” Well, we can guess New York’s circulation department is pleased.

And to throw in a pointless quote, Lohan’s publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik tells Radar of the shoot: “Obviously you can see her breasts are real.” Thanks for clearing that up, although it doesn’t answer why you’d let an old man take pics of all your freckles if you don’t want them getting out.

Lindsay Lohan gets naked for Marilyn shoot

In a move that will likely end up being a case of ironic foreshadowing, Lindsay Lohan has gone bare-breasted for New York magazine to recreate Marilyn Monroe’s final photo shoot.

Actually, like Marilyn, LiLo took it all off as a tribute to Monroe’s 1962 Vogue shoot, which was shot by Bert Stern six weeks before the actress’ death of a barbituate overdose. Stern, who also took the photos of Lohan on Feb. 5, says the 21-year-old “had a lot more depth to her” than you’d expect, meaning she must have been able to spell her own name and realize the flashbulbs weren’t bolts of lightning.

But as far as the nudity, Lindsay says she “was comfortable with it,” probably because she realized it would be the only way to get the fame train back on the track since her recent movies have tanked.

But she promises she won’t end up like Marilyn, or even Heath Ledger. “I’m not them. But I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me.”

Of course, The Juice* can’t show you (completely) naked pictures of starlets, but head on over to New York so you can get an eyeful.

Lindsay Lohan parties with Grenier, DiCaprio

We haven’t checked in with newly sober Lindsay Lohan lately, so it’s good to know she’s drowning her sorrows by being all flirty with an A-list of eligible men instead of hitting the bottle. One addiction begets another, right?

The New York Daily News says LiLo was plying her wares with both Entourage’s Adrian Grenier and Leonardo DiCaprio at a club in West Hollywood last week.

She apparently pulled Grenier onto the dance floor until his date came back to stake her claim, so it was over to Leo, who was with Kevin Connolly and Lukas Haas.

“She was very flirty with Leo,” the tabloid’s source says, “but he wasn’t saying much to her.”

Aw. Well, at least she wasn’t drinking. Of course, that same source says Lohan was downing vodka and Champagne, so it’s anyone’s guess these days.

Lindsay Lohan defends that awful stripper flick

Lindsay Lohan isn’t too pleased she was left of the Oscar list while her bomb I Know Who Killed Me got her not one but two nods for this year’s Golden Raspberry Awards.

The U.K.’s Sun says the 21-year-old has been griping that the flick — in which she plays two characters that may or may not be related, we don’t know, because we couldn’t finish watching it — is some of her best work. Like, better than Herbie Fully Loaded.

“I Know Who Killed Me was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life,” she said. “I’m playing a schizophrenic and that was so draining but I loved working with the director Chris Sivertson. I couldn’t believe the emotional range that he got out of me. I thought the role was too difficult for me but he helped me to give a performance I didn’t think I was capable of.”

We didn’t think you were capable of it either, Linds.

Lindsay Lohan, Eddie Murphy lead Razzies nods

In an awards contest after The Juice*’s own hearts, Lindsay Lohan and Eddie Murphy both nabbed multiple nominations for the Razzies, which recognize the worst that was in Hollywood. The AP reports LiLo’s I Know Who Killed Me got nine nods (including worst picture of 2007) and Murphy’s Norbit scored eight, including five for the actor alone — the most anyone has ever gotten in a single year.

Dig these categories: Murphy was nominated for worst actor as the titular Norbit, supporting actress for Norbit’s fat wife, supporting actor as an Asian man (guh?) and worst screen couple, He also got a screenplay nom for co-writing the dreck, which didn’t fare too poorly at the box office.

“We decided that each of his characters was so offensive that he deserved individual nominations,” Razzies founder John Wilson said. Conveniently, Lohan also is nominated for worst screen couple for playing an abductee and a stripper in Killed, which the Razzies really hated.

“I Know Who Killed Me is the most fabulously brainless movie since Showgirls,” Wilson said. “By the end of it, you still don’t know what happened. Are they twins or aren’t they? Did she imagine it? Can I please have my hour and 50 minutes back?”

For a complete list of nominees, head to www.razzies.com; “winners” will be announced Feb. 23, a day before the Oscars, if they actually happen this year.

Lindsay Lohan is headed to the morgue, ER

Thankfully Lindsay Lohan didn’t kill anyone when she was arrested for drunken driving, but as part of her punishment for the misdemeanor, the 21-year-old actress will have to work with dead people.

Lohan will spend two, four-hour days at a morgue as part of a court-ordered program to show drivers the real-life consequences of drinking and driving, the AP reports. She’s also got to spend two days working in a hospital emergency room.

This is on top of two months of rehab and “some” community service, according to attorney Blair Berk. That community service must be not having any new movies coming out for the time being.

Lindsay Lohan's sex conquest spills the beans

You knew it wouldn't take long for tales of Lindsay Lohan's exploits on the Italian island of Capri to hit the Internet, so Alessandro di Nunzio wins the prize for kissing (and so much more) and telling about his tryst with the 21-year-old.

The Italian rock drummer tells News of the World that he was stunned when LiLo dragged him to her hotel room for a night of wildness only six hours after meeting her in a bar, which is not the best place for multiple-rehab types, we're guessing -- especially when he describes how she was downing cocktails.

"Despite her recent troubles she was downing alcohol—vodka cranberry and vodka soda," he said.

He also goes on to describe how she initiated the evening, taking him to a gala dinner before whisking him to her room and demanding he kiss her. And then it was on and on about how she stripped naked in the middle of their conversation in her hotel room and dove under the covers.

"Lindsay was very, very good and surprisingly experienced," di Nunzio says. "She wanted to do everything, every position. She was extremely flexible and adventurous."

But the 27-year-old says he "was hurt and sad when I found out about the other guys," referring to Italian actor Eduardo Costa, whom she was kissing just hours before meeting Alessandro, and actor Dario Faiella, with whom she spent two nights during her stay in Capri.

"I think that's the way things are with Lindsay," di Nunzio says. "But she was very sweet and loving in bed. It was a good sex match."

And who says romance is dead?

Lindsay Lohan might be broke, drinking again

When she’s not out gallivanting with Italian men, Lindsay Lohan is apparently begging her friends for money. The New York Daily News says LiLo has been asking for spending cash despite a rumored five-figure deal with tobacco-substitute maker Ariva (too bad sources report seeing her smoking all week on Capri).

And what led to that slobberfest with Italian actor Dario Faiella, anyway? Maybe it’s one source’s report to X17 that she blew 500 euros (that’s about $736) at the bar in one night!

TMZ also says she was seen chugging bubbly from a bottle on New Year’s Eve, a fact confirmed by the ever-quotable lawyer Blair Berk: “The good news was that Lindsay stopped herself that night, called her sponsor, and got herself immediately back on track. There is no magic cure here. The most unfortunate part of this is that Lindsay has to share her ‘one day at a time’ with the entire world.” Maybe she should try staying away from large groups of inebriated people for awhile.

Lindsay Lohan is back to playing the field

This is more like it: Lindsay Lohan was spotted smooching several young men while on the Italian island of Capri for a film festival over the weekend, the U.K.’s Sun reports.

Paparazzi snapped LiLo planting a few on waiter (yes, waiter) Alessandro Di Nunzio before moving on to actor Eduardo Costa. Later on she was seen in a liplock with another actor, Dario Faiella, who is the son of Italian musician Peppino Di Capri.

“She wasn’t content to share a snog with just one fella — it seemed like she wanted them all,” a source blurted to the newspaper. “She certainly set tongues wagging.” Add your own kissing joke here.

And starring Michael Lohan as Jesus' stepdad

Before we take another swig of Wild Turkey and delve full-bore back into Jamie Lynn Spears Uteruswatch '07, here's a nice little palate cleanser for you: Michael Lohan, Lindsay's pop, starring as Joseph in a Times Square nativity scene.

Will Lindsay Lohan make a date with 50 Cent?

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly hooking up with 50 Cent, Life & Style says — although in musical sense, since LiLo is recording her third album, Nobody’s Angel.

“They’re talking about working together. Nothing’s firm yet, but they’re in talks,” according to Lindsay’s papa Michael. “They’ve actually known each other for a while, just from being in the business together and crossing paths at events.”

Besides, Radar says Lohan is looking for recently single Heath Ledger, texting him furiously while her boyfriend Riley Giles was out on the town in NYC over Thanksgiving weekend. Fiddy, meanwhile, must be looking for that final nail in his career’s coffin before retirement.

Lindsay Lohan's boyfriend goes out partying

While The Juice* has been hawking “Save LiLo” buttons in our online store (see right), we’re honestly happy to hear that 21-year-old Lindsay Lohan really seems to have taken her last round of rehab to heart, as noted by her virtual absence from our daily sleaze report.

But while Linds spent the Thanksgiving holiday in group therapy and out shopping with her whole family, the New York Post’s Page Six says her latest crush (and fellow rehabber) Riley Giles was MIA most nights. Giles had come out to Long Island to “meet her friends and family,” a source said, but apparently spent his nights out in the club scene, which can’t be good for his addictions, let alone Lohan’s.

“Riley was not very well behaved when he came back to New York with Lindsay,” a friend told the tabloid. “He was out every night without her, and I’m not sure how much longer that relationship is going to last.” If his idea of rehab is going out partying, maybe it’s best for LiLo if the relationship doesn’t last.

Dueling Lindsay mug shots

In the wake of yesterday's harrowing 84-minute jail sentencing, we present Lindsay Lohan's new mug shot. On the left is her old one, and on the left is her new one. What do you think, Juicers -- is Lindsay's November mug shot an improvement over her July mug shot?

Cast your vote for Ms. July (left) OR Ms. November (right) in the comments!

Lindsay Lohan spends 84 minutes in jail

You wanna know what a DUI gets you in this country? Check out the cautionary tale of one Lindsay Lohan, who turned herself in at a California jail Thursday morning and spent all of ... deep breath ... 84 minutes in lockdown! The New York Post says Lohan was sentenced to at least 24 hours in prison, but didn’t even reach her cell during her brief stay. Still, 84 minutes? That’s longer than the Ice Age! (Well, technically it’s only longer than the run time of the movie Ice Age. Same diff.)

Lindsay gets injections; we have no objections

Speaking of pumped full of collagen, word is that Lindsay Lohan has had a little work done on her kisser. The Daily Mail says she’s been seen out and about with a “bee-stung pout” so popular with the young and shameless these days. Well, we’d rather she turned to those kinds of chemicals than the alcoholic sort.

She seems to be turning things around, selling her apartment in the Sierra Towers on the Sunset strip, according to the New York Daily News, and opting out of that New Year’s Eve party at Pure in Las Vegas. Can it be that LiLo is actually trying?

Lindsay Lohan just says no to drunken frivolity

Remember that New Year’s Eve party that Lindsay Lohan was booked for at LAX in Las Vegas? Don’t buy your tickets just yet. Us reports the rehab princess is out.

“Lindsay will no longer be hosting New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas,” her rep told the mag. She was “contractually obligated” to do a show after cancelling her July birthday party at Pure because she was in rehab, and now it seems she may return to host an event eventually.

But for now, she “continues to focus on her work and sobriety” her people said. Can it be, The Juice* is proud of LiLo?

LiLo's going brokesies

We were going to ignore this report from the British tab News of the World about Lindsay Lohan going broke ... but then they had to go and use the phrase "massive orgy of booze and drugs," and we were powerless to resist. The News reports (and MSNBC.com seems to agree) that Lindsay's so poor, post-rehab, that she's having to crash in a house owned by billionaire producer Tom Gores. The report quotes a source as saying Linsday "thinks nothing of blowing thousands of dollars on a single night of partying." The tab for one bash, the report states, ran over $1-million. Strange -- who would have thought the star of money mints Georgia Rule and I Know Who Killed Me would ever end up in dire financial straits?

LiLo's out of rehab; Is Britney going in?

Time to hide your cooking sherry and pocket money, because People confirms Lindsay Lohan was officially released from Cirque Lodge in Utah on Friday.

"I'm proud of her. She's moving ahead with her life," her mother, Dina, told the magazine. "Things were getting out of control. She took action. She took responsibility. She really needed to heal."

Rumors have been flying around the InterWebs that she was only released for dental work in L.A. and had to go back, mostly because NW says she had tested positive for cocaine while getting treatment.

But even daddy Michael says she's on the loose. "Now that she is going out into the world, I can only hope for the best," he said.

Maybe she was joining in the reunion between Britney and Lynne Spears, whom OK! says got together over the weekend. But it seems Lynne had a LiLo-style future in mind for Brit-Brit, bringing sister Jamie Lynn (that's Jamie and Brit on Saturday in the video above) and calling ex Kevin Federline to stage an intervention for the smoking wreck.

Things don't sound good for the talks, though, as the mag says Bratney stormed out of the house, drove to a couple clubs (but didn't get out of the car) and then drove back home. Could it be her entourage abandoned her?

LiLo isn't coming home after getting high

Don’t break out the “Welcome Home” banners for Lindsay Lohan just yet. NW magazine says the freckled menace will not be released for a pretty obvious reason — she’s repeatedly tested positive for cocaine.

Due to be released from Cirque Lodge in Utah last week, the starlet apparently has been mixing diet pills with anti-anxiety meds to chase her coke.

“I think she’ll take whatever pills they allow her,” a source says. “It’s obvious to me she’s high because she acts loopy and can’t seem to walk in a straight line!”

The spy says staff are overlooking her habits, no doubt blinded by the bright lights of her Hollywood-ness.

“She had a friend sneak vodka in a water bottle into one of the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings she goes to,” the source continues. “Everyone wants her to be their friend, so they’ll do anything for her.” Well, everything but make her realize her liver isn’t a trampoline.
