Pleas officer help me strip pleads Lohan
The 23 year old requires an officer to remove her court ordered alcohol monitoring bracelet so she can pose for pictures to promote her new handbag line 6126.
The officer would need to remain present during the shoot which Lohan is planning to do naked surrounded by her accessories to ensure that the wayward Mean Girls star puts her ankle bracelet back on.

A year on from Michael Jackson's death
So can it really be a year since the singer passed away? Yep this friday marks the anniversary of his death and thousands of fans are expected to mourn the loss of Jackson who would have turned 51 this year.
Many fans are expected to turn up at the Forest Lawn Cemetry where he is buried and the law has already been laid down.
Nobody will be allowed to go near Michael's grave and a massive crackdown is expected on vendors, moonwalkers, impersonators and music.
Le Toya Jackson visited one of Michael's closest allies Bubbles with Animal Planet for a new documentary revealing the life the chimp had whilst living with Jackson. She visited him in his new home and got a bit teary saying to the primate "I miss you".
Since his death the Michael Jackson estate has amassed wealth of $1 million dollars.

Lady GaGa's third album could be out soon
She said "I've been working on it for months now and I feel very strongly that it's finished right now. It came so quickly. Some artists take years - I don't. I write music everyday."
But could the pop sensation who had her first hit with "Just dance" at the very end of 2008 but at risk of burning her self out with this third album and all the work that goes with it? Her hectic schedule has seen her have a string of collapses before her show.

Bring back the ladettes
"When we were presenting years ago on The Big Breakfast the presenters were all very real' 'we got labelled ladettes but we were just opinionated.' 'Suddenly . . You have to be sugary and just read the autocue and smile."
We definitely would back a return to having a few more mouthy ladies dominating our screens.

Hairspray star Amanda Bynes retires aged 24
The star said she no longer enjoyed acting. She said "being an actress isn't as fun as it seems".
Amanda's first role was in pre-teen "the Amanda Show" which followed a similar format to shows that have propelled Miley Cyrus and Hilary Duff to stardom.
Her film and tv career never really followed off in the same suit and it is suggested she didn't feel comfortable watching her peers excel above her and disliked the roles she was typecasted for.

Rankin celebrated through exhibition
He's one of the photographers of our time and for the next month his work will be exhibited at the Annroy Gallery in North London.
He said of the exhibition "I love connecting with people, working with them not only to get a great photograph but one that captures a little bit of who they are,".
You could definitely say that this picture of Misticon Designer, Model and Snowboarder Charlotte Dutton taken by Rankin for TopShop Unique (shortly before she launched her first clothing line Charlotte Dutton MotoSno with the high street brand) somes up her great personality and love of casual clothing that inspires the Misticon range.

Charlotte Lewis- Derick Bird should of killed Immigrants
"Ok, so I may well get in to trouble for saying this - but I've got to get it off my chest. I wish that Derrick Bird could have come down to London & shot dead some illegal immigrants, rather than killing his fellow British people. If that offends you then tough; it's my opinion and I'm entitled to it."
Lewis who is 37 and is not married also comented "It would be preferable to kill illegal immigrants than fellow British people, because they shouldn’t be in this country."
Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing genocide however is not.
Perhaps she'd quite like MIA's new video for BORN FREE. Maybe not though as they child being shot is red haired

Dog eats five ornaments xray pictures
Vets were very shocked when they took an xray of his stomach and found this whole cat sat inside her stomach.
It was hardly chewed up at all and so the terrier hadn't chewed it up at all just swallowed the large toy whole.
Another four ornaments were found in her stomach.

Perez Hilton loses money over Miley up the skirt shot
He posted a picture up of the seventeen year old getting out of a car which showed she wasn't wearing any underwear.
What would be normal fodder for any tabloid or gossip mag if it were another celeb is made very different by the fact the Cyrus is a minor in the states and so in the eyes of the law this image is technically classed as pornography.
ABC the Disney owned entertainment group have already dropped their advertising on his blog and despite saying that their arrangement remains "unchanged" MTV's ad campaigns seem to have been removed too.
What's worse for the internet icon is that he could be charged for child pornography, face a fifteen year sentence and have his name placed on the sex offenders register for life.
All pretty heavy duty. Perez claims now that he would have never posted an illegal photograph and made an apology to anyone offended by his actions.

It has been widely speculated that the offering including items from Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and of course Phillip Treacy.
Blow took her own life in 2007 when she took a large dose of weed killer and was her fourth suicide attempt.
She had spent years dealing with infertility, cancer, and depression. Daphne Guiness has previously spoken to the press about how Isabella felt a strong sense of rejection from the fashion community especially after she brokered the McQueen Gucci buy out and didn't receive a role within the fashion house.
For years Isabella was the muse of milliner Philip Treacy their relationship through headwear was even documented through an exhibition.

Trend alert! White dresses.
Its a bit of a dangerous trend to spend big money on if you tend to be a tad clumsy with your morning latte.
So what's the solution? Get this trend in an easy to clean material like cotton. Top tip for coffee stains carry a baby wipe the heavy duty cotton should scrub clean in no time.
We recommend our iTunic Dress (do you see the subtly play on words there?) A great design that you will comfortably be able to carry through from autumn and beyond with careful layering.
For a bargain price of £45 you can have one of the hottest looks of the summer.

Is Khloe Kardashian Pregnant?
She said to a US radio show "what if they new something I didn't?".
She went on to say and "who confirmed I was two months pregnant". Safe to say she's not expecting a child with boyfriend Lemar.

Katy spoke to a french radio show where she said "spirituality and sexuality are two very different things" she compared the video to Maddonna and her boyfriend Russel Brand.
Both Katy's parents are pastors and she implied on the interview ( clip can be found at www.perezhilton.com ) that she just wasn't comfortable with religious imagery being used so loosely by pop culture.

Jersey Shore stars deny claims of STI'S
This story blew up this weekend after The Situation and Snooki stars of MTV's Jersey Shore fought back the claims that the shows producers made last week.
In an interview the producer complained that she was having to dish out herpes drugs like sweets and that the house was a hotbed of other STD's.
The Situation came forward to say the house was clean and that the crew had never been offered treatment. Snooki was more direct and just came out saying "I'm clean!"

Robin Hood we mean Kevin Costner Campaigns against Oil polutuion

"I envisioned the machine as a safety device, compact and portable enough that it could be deployed on a small craft and rugged enough to operate reliably in rough seas. Our machine is the right machine for the moment."
This comes farelly closely after the news breaks that Barack Obama want's to see the Gulf Coast reinvogorated following the clean up and aftermath.
Lara Bingle I'm NOT a Gold Digger
Clarke's following their post nude photo divorce. An official spokes person for Lara said: "Lara's lawyers do not, as reported, have and have not had any instructions to battle for Michael's millions.
"Michael and Lara resolved their property arrangements amicably some time ago and remain good friends.
"The suggestion that Lara is being encouraged by her mother to pursue Michael's money is offensive and defamatory. These baseless stories are hurtful and damaging and it is time Lara and her family were left alone and allowed to move on."
That "daring" Princess Diana Dress Sold for 190k
A gorgeous black taffeta design as worn by the late Princess Diana on her first public appearance as Prince Charles' fiancee went under the hammer.
The dress was a favourite of Diana's and as the run up to the royal wedding came closer she lost weight and handed the dress over for alterations.
The Auctioneer said of Emanuals where the dress was made "The alterations required were so drastic that they decided it would be easier to re-make a smaller version for her. They kept the original and forgot about it only re-discovering it quite recently."
Chilean fashion museum FundaciĆ³n Museo De La Moda was the winning bidder at a hefty £192'000 price tag but the founder Jorge Yarur has promised to return the item to Kensington Palace upon his death.
Big Brother 11 extensive review of first episode
of the reality tv show but missed out on last nights circus themed affair we thought we'd fill you in. Big Brother invited 81 hopefuls
to meet each other on monday- they've spent the last few days getting to know each other and forming opinions of each other.
The show started with the freakiest bunch of contestants we have seen since well ever cheering outside as they waited to see
if they would make it into the house. 13 housemates were chosen at "random" from the crowd and even Davina claimed not to know a
thing about the housemates as they entered the building.
So who went in then?
Your typical typecast contestants include:
John- Aussie becks look a like- quite vain and into his appearance. He came all the way from down under to apply for the show.
Think of him as a cross between Mario and Ziggy.
David- 39 year old minister of alternative Christian sect. Apparantly his church regularly meet and get intoxicated on the spirit.
Rather notabley David entered dresse in full Monk atire with emo hair and a red streak. But we really like the fact David has a dog.
Rachael- Professional Beyonce look a like - quite convincing when she smiles (which doesnt seem to be very often)- and hair stylist
she claims she is "the hottest girl in the big brother house".
Shabby- Cross dressing film maker. We were totally convinced that shabby was a man until we heard her speak. She definitely is
over excitible and used the word pootang in her audition video. Apparantly she gets alot of it. We doubt it.
Ben- Writer and broadcaster. Seems a bit posh. Nothing else really stood out about him- apart from his jacket- he wore a nice jacket.
Josie- Crass a bit red, bit stuck in the early naughties. Josie is financial sales rep. Which basically means she works in a call
centre. She was the first housemate to enter the house. Our initial response- bit dull- kind of figure that sticks about forever because
no-one hates her no-one likes her.
Sunshine- daddies little girl introduces herself with a hilarious annecdote about lying that her car was broken so her dad would by her
a new one. Her real name is Yvette but she gets everyone to call her sunshine just because. She likes glittery things and glues them on
aparantly all of her personal items. Studying to be a medical student.
Steve- ex serviceman that got hit by a barrel bomb. Has to artificial legs and a black glass eye that he has for sports to freak out the
enemy. Steve has eight kids and rates his attractiveness as 8/10 he's also heavily tattoed.
Caoinhe- 22 year old student with Rihanna (circa Run this Town hair cut). Likes to flirt alot with women and men although isnt really
interested in the ladies (she might get Shabby round her little finger). Most boo-ed entrant to the house. Entered in body con suit- skinnies
and Grace Jones shades.
Nathan- Trainer Joiner proper lad. Quite tall and blonde. Can't really work out much more than that- read we got very bored whilst his video played.
Corin- Fancies herself as Jordan, kept falling out of her dress on her way into the house. The 29 year old retail worker with fake tan
and tightly pulled up hair do reckons she looks about 24. We think she looks about three years older than the real Katie Price.
Govan- Looks good with a hat on looks really really young without it. Govan is a volunteer worker and thinks hes rather intelligent because
he likes reading. Apparantly he likes a good laugh though. Thank God for that.
Ife- Starts her interview tape with a sob story. She was handed over by her mother to a white family as a baby- Ife is a proffessional dancer
who has backed Cheryl Cole and Tinchy Stryder. She's looking to launch her own musical career now. We expect lots of singing in the house.
Possibley the best dressed housemate.
What's the twist?
A Mole ( yep we are sure they do this unmissable turn every season) anyway his name is Mario. He will engage in a series of secret tasks that disrupt the
other housemates lives in order to gain his place as the 14th housemate. He will be hindered a little by having to actually dress like a mole and live in a hole.
Anything Else?
The tree has been cut down (the tree that got Dane to cook bad food and Alex to smash a snowman) and turned into a chest of drawers randomly placed in the bathroom.
Can't find your take away menu? Here's the solution.
Nothing beats a takeaway on a quiet night in. But we can't work out where the vortex in our flat is that eats all the takeaway menu's from under our noses. Everytime it's the same story they vaporise into thin air and we're left desperately googling for the local chinese/indian/thai/japanese/italian/kebab restaurants take out menu.
Finally someone has come to the rescue and created a very clever website called The Master Menu- it's name pretty much sums the point of the site up. All takeaway menus in one handy place. You can order directly with the Master Menu online.
They filterresults by postcode or by town (hurray for all you stay-cationers you can order from your caravan) and filter results by which type of take out tickles your tastebuds.
Like what you hear? Visit it and bookmark it now. Oh and keep an eye out for sneaky Misticon lifestyle imagery across the site.
Enjoy!

Miley Cyrus is not amused after Bieber prank
"I was yelling because I thought it was someone that got my number. So I changed my number and he kept pranking me," she said.
"I really did believe it was a kid or something so I was like, 'I can't really yell 'cause I think it's a kid but I'm not really sure.'"
She added: "Finally, I was like (shouting), 'It's three o'clock in the morning!' He was like, 'Ha ha ha ha, it's Bieber. Call me back.' I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I'm going to hurt this kid.' My little sister loves him, but I'm going to kill him."
Bieber is obviously stepping up that old routine of if you like a girl throw rocks at her for the digital age.
