Daddy Lohan is always full of surprises. First a DUI, then prison, and now … an illegitimate little sister for Lindsay!

Kristi Kaufman told Star that the father of her daughter, Ashley, 13, is the result of a years-long affair with Michael Lohan, father to Lindsay, Ali, Michael, and Cody. The affair started while he was briefly separated from Lindsay’s mom Dina. It continued even after the couple got back together. Michael tells Star, “I took the DNA test this morning. I will get the results within the next two weeks and you will be the first to know.”

Wow, how nice that Michael has such a great relationship with the tabloids that he would tell them before his own children. It’s so nice when celebrities and the press work arm in arm.

“It was important for me to know the truth, so I took the test,” he adds. “However, I have some serious doubts after investigating Kristi’s background.”

Michael Lohan doesn’t even need his own reality show like daughter Ali and ex-wife Dina’s hit E! show Living Lohan. His life plays out better than an episode of Jerry Springer as we eagerly await the results of the paternity test to find out if he is indeed the babydaddy, but of course, we will get to know after Star does.



A writer from Glamour got to hang with The Hills queen bee Lauren Conrad at the launch of her new collection for Mark, and she was surprisingly articulate and kind. Say what? That doesn’t sound like the robot we’ve come to know and loathe on MTV! According to the blogger, LC was:

  • Skinnier and shorter than you’d think.
  • Impeccably dressed (in her own design).
  • Super sweet, even going so far as to walk the reporter to the bathroom.
  • Well-spoken and full of facts about the Mark products she hawks.

Shocking! It’s too bad none of these wonderful things - besides the perfect outfits, obviously - come across on The Hills. Maybe Audrina would like her again if they did!



French mag Closer is reporting that Angie went into labor with her twins last night and gave birth to the latest perfect Jolie-Pitts this morning. Finally someone has arrived to knock Shiloh off her cutest kid ever throne. Good riddance!

We’ll keep an eye out for further reports, and will be sure to watch if we notice Jennifer Aniston binge drinking at bars while looking depressed. Until then - congrats to the Wanted star and her family if it’s true. [JustJared]

No doubt the queen of divas, Mariah Carey, doesn’t like everyone proclaiming that hot young upstart Leona Lewis is on the verge of knocking her off her music superstar throne.

Ms. Lewis, on the other hand, definitely doesn’t mind being compared to greats like Carey and Whitney Houston.

“It’s amazing,” the “Bleeding Love” hitmaker tells James Brady in Sunday’s Parade magazine. “It’s exceedingly gratifying, because they’re so great.”

Not so great, however, are the possible pitfalls of celebrity…

Lewis, 23, is doing her best not to cross over to the dark side à la Amy Winehouse.

“You can’t make your mistakes in private,” Lewis says of the fame game. “I have the advantage of a great support structure. I get honest opinions from my family and friends. They aren’t always telling me what I want to hear, but the truth helps keep my head straight.”

And for all you die-hard Lewis fans out there, you’ll be happy to know, Lewis has written more that 100 songs. She says, “I may sing some of them on a future release.”



Marko Jaric, Adriana Lima 

Sorry, guys. Your favorite virgin supermodel is off the market.

Victoria’s Secret catwalker Adriana Lima has officially gotten engaged to NBA hoops man Marko Jaric, starting shooting guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, his rep confirms.

Jaric, 29, popped the question on the voluptuous brunette beauty’s 27th birthday Thursday and presented her with a ring. The couple have been dating for about nine months.

“He asked, and she said yes. They are both incredibly happy and couldn’t be more in love,” the Serbian-born basketball star’s publicist James Weir told People.

Lima, touted in the media as one of the sexiest women in the world, has previously stated her intention to wait until after marriage before having sex for the first time, despite having famously dated rocker Lenny Kravitz and Yankees MVP Derek Jeter.



Reese Witherspoon, Ryan Phillippe 

Reese Witherspoon is finally a single girl. Aside from that whole dating Jake Gyllenhaal thing.

Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe’s divorce was finalized in Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday, with court papers obtained by E! News indicating that financial and custodial settlements between the ex-couple have been reached.

The no-frills—and sadly, no details—document simply reads: “[The court finds] the parties have settled all their remaining issues in these proceedings.”

While the parsing of their shared possessions, including 8-year-old daughter Ava and 4-year-old son Deacon, are being kept confidential, the duo has previously sought to maintain a joint custody arrangement.

As it is, the formerly golden couple’s union was officially terminated last October, paving the way for them to remarry. The dissolution of marriage all but formally separated the couple, only requiring them to hammer out the finer points of their money—Phillippe did not seek spousal support from his higher-earning ex—and offspring matters.

The 32-year-old actress first filed for divorce from her 33-year-old hubby of seven years back in November 2006, citing the ever-popular irreconcilable differences.

Witherspoon has since stepped out with her Rendition costar Gyllenhaal, while just last week Phillippe went public with his relationship with his own war-themed movie costar, Stop LossAbbie Cornish.



John Cusack 

The doctor is in.

Not quite convinced that she’s fit to stand trial, a judge has ordered that the woman accused of stalking John Cusack be examined by a psychiatrist before the case proceeds.

Emily Leatherman was charged with felony stalking and two misdemeanor counts of disobeying a restraining order and petty theft after being arrested March 30 when police found her too close to Cusack’s Malibu home for comfort.

The complaint against her alleges she has been making untoward attempts to contact the High Fidelity star since February 2007.

L.A. Superior Court Judge Susan M. Speer ordered both sides back in court July 11.

Leatherman, who has pleaded not guilty to all of the above and has been behind bars since her arrest, is facing up to four years in prison if convicted.



Mariah Carey 

Mariah Carey is in a great place and she wants everyone to smell like it.

The platinum-selling diva has spilled the details on Luscious Pink, the second scent for her signature Elizabeth Arden fragrance line. It’s inspired by her whirlwind romance with hubby Nick Cannon and her recent success on the charts, as well as the other sweet things in life.

“This scent is feminine, flirtatious and fun, and truly reflects where I am in my life now, after an incredible year,” Carey said earlier this week

“Elizabeth Arden has been a fantastic partner and the end creation of Luscious Pink is beyond my expectations,” the “One Sweet Day” singer continued. “The response from my fans with my debut scent was overwhelming, and I can’t wait to see what happens with my second Luscious fragrance.”

Luscious Pink, which is being touted as a “floral melody that is as enveloping as Mariah’s voice,” will join Carey’s first scent, M, in department stores nationwide in August.
