Generally, when Lindsay Lohan dyes her hair red again, it’s a good sign. She’s usually happier than usual, and plus, the red hair just flatters her better because she’s one of those natural gingers who looks smokin’ hot when she’s at her best.
Lindsay was snapped with her new color after leaving a doctor’s office in Beverly Hils today. She was smiling, and though she was wearing shades, her face looked better, a little less fluffy (a.k.a. plumped up with fillers) than it has recently.

Lincoln Park, Michigan’s Amanda Clayton won a million dollars in the state lottery. She took it all in one lump sum and after taxes she pocketed about $500,000.

While Pauly D’s crew is out and living large in The Pauly D Project, his mentor DJ Biggie has a serious girlfriend back home.

From what I see, her down time looks a heck of a lot better than mine!

Kim Zolciak stole our hearts with a dance version of “Tardy for the Party” (a country song reworked by Kandi Burruss,) then she asked us to “Google Me” (she didn’t have to ask!) Now, she’s gone back her her country aspirations with a new single “Love Me First.”
It’s a country song, for sure, but it’s been enhanced by a little auto-tune magic. It’s about learning to love yourself before you can love anyone else.
The recent devastating outbreak of tornadoes that swept across the country took many lives and left in its wake an incalculable amount of loss in both life and property.

Barbara Evans is the most impersonated character in the history of all of Teen Momdom. Her accent and mannerisms always brings a smile to our faces while they usually drive her Teen Mom daughter Jenelle Evans nuts.

As it should be, no one can do Barbara like Jenelle. Check it out.

Okay, I kind of have a crush on Bethenny Frankel’s nerdy foodie buddy Nick Feitel. He’s really smart, he knows A LOT about food, he writes well, he always calls Bethenny ma’am, and . . . . he’s just a mess, but in a lovable way. He has a compelling mix of exhibitionism and self-conscious uncomfortableness that we can all relate to. He’s sweet, but he has trouble with women, and his relationship with Bethenny is one of the best things to ever come from reality television.
According to Bethenny, Nick (who has an acting reel, and appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, and a Dell commercial before he was cast on Bethenny’s show,) has recently undergone some changes.
This is harsh.

“I’ve had my own opinions as each new release dropped since then and each time while I may have disagreed I could see where each side was coming from either yea or nay. But now we have Wrecking Ball and of any original release that the best guitar picker from Asbury Park, New Jersey has let out in to the world this is the one that has the power, strength and consistency to most deservedly sit at the bar and toss ’em back with those other records of Bossman yore. Yes. I’m telling you to feel all right if you’re in a hurry and slip this new album in between Nebraska and Born in the U.S.A. While you’re out you shouldn’t feel disrespectful or bad about it.”
19-year-old Demi Lovato has become one of the strongest role models young women have today, and it’s not because she projects an image of goody-two-shoes perfection. She’s one of the most truly inspiring pop stars we have because she’s so open and honest about the tough things in life, and in her new documentary “Stay Strong,” airing on MTV Tuesday @ 10 EST, Demi further takes us into her relatable world.
Disney star Demi Lovato shocked fans when she entered rehab for cutting and bulimia, and emotional issues after she punched a back-up dancer at the airport. Demi was axed from Disney Channel show Sonny with an Chance, and as always happens, people speculated that her career would suffer.

The highlight of Lindsay Lohan’s SNL gig last night was her role as Rapunzel in the pre-taped skit “Real Housewives of Disney.” This mash-up was so good my toes curled.
