Michelle Rodriguez may never win an award for her acting but she's beginning to grow on me. We spotted her coming out of the Chateau Marmont last night and unlike most of Hollywood seems down to earth and honest about her fame.Video by G-Hollywood

Just getting word that there has been a tragic accident at the house of actor Ving Rhames. Apparently his personal assistant was mauled to death by a couple of dogs. Rhames is not at the house. Don't have the full story yet and will update as soon as we hear more. UPDATE: Police have taken four dogs into custody, three mastiffs and an English bulldog, after a man was found dead in the garden. Police said they got a call at about 7:15 am on Friday about a body on a lawn covered with bite marks. Anyone know where Ron Mexico aka Michael Vick is? UPDATE 2: Police are saying that the victim may have died of a heart attack and not from an attack by the dogs. splashnews_lela030807a_050.jpg splashnews_lela030807a_022.jpg splashnews_lela030807a_012.jpg splashnews_lela030807a_007.jpg Pictures by Rodrigo Marques and London Entertainment

20/20 Hindsight Is Sweet

elle-sept-cover-lindsay-lohan-hi-res-final.jpg

Lindsay Lohan sat down with Elle magazine for an interview to address the rumors, her behavior and her life that appears in the September issue and frankly, it's ridiculous. The interview took place less than two days before her arrest for drunk driving over the Memorial Day weekend in May and shows that Lindsay is either a compulsive liar or a manipulator. I have attached the highlights below courtesy of Elle and my reactions in italics. On her reputation for drunk driving: “I wouldn’t violate … I’m much more responsible than that. I would not do that.” O rly??? I think we know the answer to this one and "Responsible Lindsay Lohan" has to be an oxymoron. On attending rehab at Wonderland before her 21st birthday: “I was growing up and going out a lot, and I needed to have a balance. I was glad I went, because I needed to get away from everyone and I didn’t know how to do that. And I learned a lot there. A bunch of my friends – I was with them last night – they’re in AA for, like, years.” We all know she didn't learn anything at Wonderland but she had to go to there to be alone? WTF happened to not answering your phone and staying home for night? On her sometimes-boyfriend Calum Best: “I like him. He’s me in male form. We’re very similar. Stubborn, rebellious, very smart, coy, a little bit narcissistic – I think all actors have a little bit of that, and so they should. We’ll be kidding around, like the other day when we were in the Bahamas … I was walking by some mirror. And he caught me looking in the mirror and he goes, ‘I caught that!’ I was like, ‘Damn, I look good!’ So not only is Lindsay delusional, she's narcissistic. I wonder if she puts on the "Parent Trap" and masturbates. On her future projects: “There’s this Walter Salles film I really want to do. It’s called On the Road. It has the vibe of that movie The Dreamers […] I want to work with Walter Salles so bad. I had to audition for him. It was the first audition I’ve had since Freaky Friday.” I have a feeling you're going to be doing a whole lot more auditioning in the future. On the media firestorm surrounding her: “I feel like the asshole, the idiot, because I feel like I’m distracting from the other things that are important, like global warming and that kind of stuff. I genuinely mean that. And I don’t know what to do.” How about this Lindsay, tell your parents to shut up, stop with the drinking and driving, stop with the drugs, and stop with all the bullsh*t. On avoiding fame: “I hate it, like, when these people say, ‘Well, why do you go to the Ivy if you don’t want …’ Seriously, I like their food! I can’t go to a restaurant? I know I’m going to get pictures taken. I’m fine with it. And I’m going to go have their food. People give you shit for it: ‘Don’t go on Robertson!’ What, I can’t drive down the street?” Lies!!!! No one likes the food at the Ivy! And no you can't drive down the street, you have proven that several times with your car accidents, on Robertson no less, and your DUI's. On being photographed without underwear: “It was once, and it was when I was in Venice. And I was rushing through the room, threw the Prada dress on. And that’s what happened. And I didn’t even see the picture. I don’t look at that sh*t – that’s gross. If I wear a dress I have underwear on.” I'm calling bullsh*t on this one. On sleep troubles: “I have really bad insomnia. My whole life. I get nervous at night going to bed, and being awake alone really freaks me out.” That's the cocaine honey, stop snorting your weight in it and you should be fine. On her career aspirations: “I just want to be nominated for an award for all the work I’ve done. It’s so funny – people forget that I played two characters in Parent Trap when I was twelve years old.” Eddie Murphy makes entire movies where he plays every single f'ing character and that's why he doesn't get an award either. Play one character and do that well. And move on already Lindsay, the parent trap was 10 years ago. How can you be pissed that you didn't get an award for a sight gag in a kids movie?

Britney Needs A "Good Gay"

Jason Dottley, star of the upcoming TV series “Sordid Lives,” thinks all Britney Spears needs to turn her career around is a “good gay in her life.” When I first watched this video I thought this guy was just running his mouth but after a second viewing, he makes an excellent point. She needs a good gay male friend to give her some sound fashion advice (panties = good, torn fishnets= bad) and throw out all her awful weaves.

Britney Spears hit up west Hollywood, California hotspot Winston’s last night accompanied by none other than her cousin and former assistant Alli Sims. I guess Alli isn’t going to side with Kevin Federline in a custody battle for Britney’s kids after all.Britney was sucking on a lollipop as she left the bar and in what could possibly be the single grossest moment ever witnessed with my own two eyes, she shares it with her unidentified male friend (if you have a weak stomach do not watch the video). Doesn’t he know where that mouth has been? More pics after the jump!
