1. Lohan in a car accident:
<tt>Lindsay Lohan in Car Crash

"The Insider"'s own VICTORIA RECAÑO witnessed a traffic accident
Tuesday afternoon involving teen superstar LINDSAY LOHAN. Lindsay's black
Mercedes convertible SL65 collided with a red van on Robertson Blvd. in Beverly
Hills at around 5 p.m. Victoria reports she saw Lindsay having lunch at the
Ivy restaurant and being surrounded by photographers before exiting and
driving down the street where the accident occurred.

The airbags in Lindsay's car were deployed and the 'Herbie: Fully
Loaded' star and her passenger left the vehicle and sought shelter in a nearby
antique store. "They jumped out so fast I believe they left her bag in
her car," Victoria said.

According to a West Hollywood police report: "Miss Lohan and her female
passenger were transported by ambulance to a local hospital for
treatment of minor injuries. The male driver of the Astro van suffered moderate
injuries and was also transported by ambulance to a local hospital." Lohan was
reportedly released from the hospital Tuesday evening.

The report goes on to say that "the cause of the collision is being
investigated and it does not appear that alcohol was a factor. There is
no further information available at this time."

This isn't the first traffic mishap for Lindsay. On May 31, the star of
'Freaky Friday' was allegedly trying to flee photographers when one of
their vehicles struck her car, the LAPD said. She told us her car was
"totaled."

"It just got a little out of hand," she said. "I handled it very well
and I was very calm about it and people were actually kind of surprised. I'm
thankful that my brother and sister weren't in the car."</tt>

My "industry friend" says that while alcohol wasn't a factor, booger sugar may have been.

2. Britney sex tape? Yeah. Britney pregnant sex tape? Uhhhh...

<tt>Britney's toxic sex tape could be released

October 5, 2005

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline reportedly fear a steamy home sex
video is about to be made public. A member of the singer's entourage is
believed to have copied one of the couple's personal video tapes - allegedly
recorded while Britney was still expecting baby son Sean Preston - and is
threatening to release it.

A source told America's Us Weekly magazine: "He has threatened to
release raunchy footage of the two taken before Spears looked pregnant."

During her pregnancy, Britney confessed her sex life was the best it
had ever been. The sexy singer insisted her bedroom romps with husband
Kevin had been red hot since she conceived.

She confessed at the time: "I think it's the best. Sex is crazy good."
Britney also stunned viewers on her reality TV show, Chaotic, after she
was shown begging Kevin for sex.

The blonde babe, who was not married to former dancer Kevin when the
footage was shot, brands the couple's bedroom antics "so good" before begging
her 26-year-old lover to let her take the day off from her Onyx hotel tour
last year "to just fuck all day."

The Toxic singer then turned her attention to the sex lives of her
staff and crew - quizzing them about their favourite sexual positions.</tt>

3. Nick and Jessica = Divorce.

No article for this one, but my "industry friend" says it will break and be confirmed soon enough.

No word on whether Nick will keep his gig on Gameday as part of the settlement.

If You Love Something, Get Rid of It: Nick and Jessica to Divorce
READ MORE: US Weekly, break-ups, nick and jessica
The image at right (click to enlarge) probably won’t be on the newsstands until 10 A.M. or so, but we don’t see why you should wait for the news: Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson, America’s Newlyweds, have called it quits. For those of you so self-loathing as to closely follow these things, you’ll recall that in May, E! online reported that the couple had filed for divorce, only to mysteriously retract the story an hour later. But you knew, right then, that this was coming, didn’t you?

The couple is waiting to make an official announcement later in the month (at the appropriate career opportunity, we’re sure), but according to Us Weekly’s scoop — kept so under wraps that employees were not allowed to receive their advance issues yesterday, presumably for fear that People might rape and pillage the story — the marriage has been dead for some time. Well, duh.

The article has a laundry list of contributions to the break-up (mostly blamed on Jessica), including creepy-dad Joe Simpson, Jessica’s “diva” behavior, and her fondness for whiskey on the rocks. One of those ubiquitous sources close to the couple says, “Jessica’s the problem. She’s not the girl America fell in love with anymore.” Oh, young America, were you ever really in love with her? Or were you just lusting? C’mon, be honest.

And now, a moment of silence, please, so that we might hear the sound of every magazine editor in town simultaneously shitting themselves.

Hamburg New York just ain't STAR-FRIENDLY, folks...

I can't promise I won't watch that Britney sex-tape.

I promise I will seek out any outlet possible to find it. I don't even find her attractive these days, but come on. If a sex tape by a pretty much unknown Paris Hilton could generate such buzz, one by one of the most famous females on the planet is sure to be huge news.

Nick must be the biggest f'n idiot to walk the planet. Huh? Sit your ass at home all day while wifey makes $$$$$$ then comes home to you? Wtf? I don't get it.

Alimony. Let the gravy train begin!

I can't reallly say why but I'm not finding the idea of the Britney tape hot. Strange.

Maybe it's because I know Federline is in it.

Who said that he's the one asking for the divorce?
I'm not.

I assumed it was her. He comes off to me as a guy who has it all, AND his cake (nice icing, btw) and still does things to piss her off and make her jealous. Wait a minute... I'm getting emotional aren't I? Blahhh!!

I'm not.

I think you have it backwards. He seems fairly normal and like a regular guy. She and her whole family I think have some issues. At least he seems like his own man and somewhat coherent about stuff.

Of course this is from a million miles away.

Cowboy up.

Maybe it's the part of being a male that says, "I could deal with that, I AM sleeping next to Jessica Simpson everynight." :D

Maybe it's the part of being a male that says, "I could deal with that, I AM sleeping next to Jessica Simpson everynight." :D

He lasted quite awhile doing just that and she's probably at the peak of hotness. He's like a good comedian, tell a joke that kills and get the heck off the stage. Go out on top.

Peak, I don't know about that... maybe close. :)

Oh well, I guess after awhile it might get boring... might...

The cost-benefit analysis goes like this:

with the alimony payments rolling in, you can use the cash infusion to bed reasonable facsimilies of Jessica Simpson without having to live with or deal with the actual Jessica Simpson.

Sounds like a no-brainer to me...

The problem with this theory is that the downslope from that peak is one helluva lot hotter than one can expect from life. Do whatever she says Nick, do whatever she says.

Peak, I don't know about that... maybe close. :)

Well she got in great shape for the Dukes of Hazzard movie and showed all of America she can't act. Another movie is a long shot. She's been partying publically way more and the whole "stupid, chicken of the sea act" is pretty much boring now. I figure a lousy album and she's close to the "time to revive the career by being outrageous" mode.

The problem with this theory is that the downslope from that peak is one helluva lot hotter than one can expect from life. Do whatever she says Nick, do whatever she says.


He's Nick Lacey dammit! 98 Degrees dammit!

Dammit, she said she was on the pill...

In regards to the Nick and Jessica break-up, a wise man once said:

"No matter how beautiful the woman, there is always a guy out there who's sick of her."

LOS ANGELES - Matt Leinart's train of thought has been a little cloudy recently - but at least he's got good reason for those questionable judgements on and off-the-field.

Leinart this week revealed to the media that he suffered a concussion during USC's mistake-prone game at Arizona State last Saturday, which featured one of Leinart's least-memorable performances.

In a rambling dissertation on the situation, Leinart ultimately accused Arizona State's Robert James of a cheap shot, but only after he lead off his comments by saying, "I'm not one to talk about that."

Speaking of contradictions, Petros Papadakis of KMPC-AM in Los Angeles reports that Nick Lachey, who has reportedly split with wife Jessica Simpson, is probably now going to be moving in with Leinart.



Leinart has been fast friends with Lachey for some time. And the pseudo-celeb was seen with Leinart Tuesday at USC's weekly football press conference.

Papadakis, who is a former captain of the USC football team, disdains (who doesn't?) Lachey. The radio host also reports that USC Sports Information Director Tim Tessalone asked him to have both Leinart and Lachey on his midday show on Tuesday. Papadakis refused, opting instead for Trojan linebacker Oscar Lua.

Papadakis: "I'm not going to have Lachey anywhere near my show. Never. Lachey with Leinart at S.C.? No, absolutely not. I'd rather have Lua. And we might not have on Leinart either. I'm tired of the lies."

At best, Lachey has a loose connection to USC and college football, thanks to his attending USC for one semester and a current minor role as the resident toady on ESPN's College GameDay broadcasts.

Lastly, if you were Leinart, who is currently the most-celebrated sports celeb in Los Angeles, would you be rolling with Nick Lachey and reality show schmoes?

Is Britney’s husband acting like a baby?

By Jeannette Walls
MSNBC
Updated: 1:36 p.m. ET Oct. 6, 2005
Is there trouble in paradise for Britney Spears and her hubby?

The couple has acknowledged rough patches in the early days of their marriage, and it looks like having a baby hasn’t helped things. The buzz is that Kevin Federline — who walked out on his pregnant girlfriend and child to be with Spears — isn’t taking too well to fatherhood this time around either.

Since Spears brought home little Sean Preston, his dad has been “a real brat” — hitting golf balls, partying and chatting on the phone until well into the night, an insider tells Life & Style Weekly. Spears has reportedly complained that she’s “raising two kids now.”



After one particularly nasty row, Federline moved into a friend’s house for three days, according to the mag. But Spears’ mom, Lynne, has reportedly come to the rescue and is helping the couple through its tough patch.

Spears’ rep didn’t respond to The Scoop’s request for comment.

Federline is a dick? Who knew? Except Render maybe. I hear he's all over this stuff.

This thread must be renamed:

Your Industry Minute...Things RendeR Needs To Know.

Nick and Jessica Deny Breakup

By Sarah Hall
Wed Oct 5, 5:34 PM ET

This time, it's really over. Or is it?

As fast as magazine reports touting the demise of
Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's marriage hit newsstands Wednesday, the celebrity duo were ready to fire back with a joint statement denying the rumors.

"Nick and Jessica have not separated," Simpson's rep, Brad Cafarelli, stated to E! on the couple's behalf. "Rumors to the contrary are simply not true."

Simpson's ever-present papa, Joe, also denied Wednesday that his daughter's marriage has ended.

"Not true," Joe Simpson told E! via email of the rumors surrounding the not-so-newlywed twosome.

The latest editions of both Us Weekly and Life & Style both feature cover stories touting the demise of the Simpson-Lachey union.

Us Weekly's headline blares "Split!" across a photo of the twosome, while Life & Style's "It's Over!" runs across a picture of Simpson solo. Reps for both magazines told E! Online that they are standing by their stories.

Of course, the purportedly rocky state of the camera-friendly twosome's union has been the stuff of tabloid fodder for months.

But amid the numerous reports of their impending split, the couple have steadfastly denied the existence of any marital troubles time and time again.

"Yes, we're married, and we love each other," Simpson told OK! magazine in its Oct. 10 edition. When asked why she wasn't sporting her hefty engagement ring at the time of the interview, she replied, "I don't need diamonds on my finger to show that I love my husband.

Both Simpson and Lachey have been photographed ring-free in recent days. Their last public appearance together was at a Sept. 11 football game. Lachey was notably absent at sister-in-law Ashlee's 21st birthday party in Las Vegas on Monday.

According to Life & Style, Simpson was spotted on an American Airlines flight from New York to Los Angeles on Sept. 28, sobbing onto the shoulder of her assistant, CaCee Cobb, that "Nick doesn't want me anymore!" (Simpson's rep denied the magazine's account.)

Us Weekly credits the blond bombshell with being the impetus for the supposed breakup of their marriage and cites sources who claim the pair went their separate ways close to two months ago.

Lachey and Simpson's third wedding anniversary is coming up on Oct. 26. The couple wed in 2002, back in the days of mutual B-list status, when Simpson was categorized as a less famous version of Britney Spears and Lachey was one of the members of 98 Degrees, a boy band not nearly as hot as, say, 'N Sync or the Backstreet Boys.

After the couple tied the knot, they rocketed to fame virtually overnight on the success of their MTV reality show, Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica, which chronicled the misadventures of their day-to-day lives.

Simpson, in particular, became a reality-TV darling, with her tendency to make embarrassing, yet endearing blunders, such as confusing Chicken of the Sea brand tuna for actual chicken and believing that buffalo wings were actually made of buffalo.

The "With You" singer enjoyed a sensational rise in record sales as a result of the show's success and landed a role as Daisy Duke in the Dukes of Hazzard movie, which enjoyed opening-weekend box-office sales of $30.7 million and has gone on to gross more than $90 million.

First-year sales of Simpson's cosmetic line, Dessert, are projected to hit $30 million.

Meanwhile, as his wife enjoyed a meteoric rise in fame, Lachey's career failed to take off in a similar fashion.

His first solo album, SoulO, tanked on the charts, and ABC passed on a pilot he shot costarring Gina Gershon.

Though Lachey eventually landed a recurring role on the WB's Charmed and more recently a gig as a contributor on ESPN's College GameDay, fame-wise, he has lived largely in Simpson's shadow.

At one point, Simpson's father, Joe, was working with Lachey to change that image by developing a new MTV reality series featuring the former boy bander's struggles to sign with a record label. It's unclear whether that project is still underway.

One thing's for certain--if Lachey and Simpson ever decide to make a joint return to reality television, they'll have plenty of dramatic material to work with.

See this is what I don't get or dislike. The father, the mother, he needs work. F OFF. He's bailing and it's the right thing to do as your own man. These people are insane.

You should write People a letter. Maybe Joe will see it.

I think that they are more about control than money. "It's good for business" is just the excuse he has to be involved in every aspect of his children's lives from cradle to grave. Doing things for money excuses pretty much anything in our culture--including obsessive parenting.
