Lindsay Lohan is once again using her blog to lash out at the people that really make her angry. This week it seems that her father is next to receive a verbal beating from the flailing actress/singer. She referred to Michael as a “public embarrassment” and a “bully”. So where is all this hurt and frustration coming from?

Michael was interviewed by E! where he was asked about what he thinks of Lohan’s relationship with her girlfriend Samantha Ronson. He told them point blank that Ronson is “using” his daughter.

Britney Spears has decided to refrain from performing at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. “Contrary to media reports, Britney was never slated to perform on this year’s VMAs,” Larry Rudolph, Spears’ manager at Jive Records, said in a statement. “She’s in the middle of recording her next album, which is going amazingly well, and her focus remains on the studio.”

Miley Cyrus looks to finally be doing what’s right and staying away from making fun of her fellow singers (a.k.a. Selena Gomez) and keeping hidden any more photos that could ruin her reputation.

LeRoi Moore - the saxophonist from the Dave Matthews Band - died Tuesday from complications of injuries that he suffered during an accident. He was only 46 years old.

Moore died at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was admitted with complications that arose weeks after the June 30 wreck, according to a statement on the band’s Web site. It did not specify what led to his death, and nursing supervisor Galina Shinder said the hospital could not release details.

Looks like Bono let the cat out of the bag. According to a reliable source he was listening to music (a little loud) from the new record that hasn’t been released yet and a few bystanders were listening in on them. The new U2 songs were recorded by the onlookers and then posted to the Internet where they spread like wildfire.

Phil Collins’ divorce is final. This is his third marriage and the settlement was a whopping $46.68 million. This is the largest amount that any celebrity has had to pay out during a divorce (at least in British history).

If rumors are to be believed it seems that Ali Lohan - Lindsay Lohan’s 14 year old sister - went through breast augmentation surgery.

Vanessa Hudgens is being sued for $5 million by a music producer stating that the actress and her father have violated the contract that they agreed upon and did not pay him the share of earnings that is owed to him.
