X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - After spending a week in Morocco, last night Lindsay Lohan went straight from the airport to the clubs without missing a beat! She landed at LAX and went straight to the Beverly Hills Hotel, where she stayed for about two hours (probably working on that weave!) She left the hotel, headed home to change and then went out at around 12:30am to club Voyeur. Lindsay closed down the club, leaving at 2:30am, but did she head home to sleep off her jetlag? She went to a party at Barry Zito's house, where she partied until the wee hours, finally heading back home at 3:30am. Lindsay's currently seeking a restraining order against her father for threatening to "kidnap" her to get her into rehab, but it seems like Lindsay's the one who could really use some restraint in her life.

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Britney Spears has only just arrived in Australia to begin her down under tour of Circus, but she's already causing controversy over charging up to $1300 for VIP seats to a show that's largely lip-synched. "Longest flight ever but we had a great time. Really cool plane and the V staff took great care of us. So excited to be here! -Britney" Brit tweeted Thursday morning (Aussie time.) But in the wake of her exorbitant ticket prices and the reveleation that she'll be lip-synching for most of her show, the Australian government is contemplating a law that will require performers to disclose the fact that they're singing less than live on the ticket. Consumer Affairs Minister Tony Robinson told the Herald Sun, "We believe it is good business practice for concert promoters to make it clear to consumers before they buy tickets whether the performer will be miming, and make this clear on advertising, posters and other promotional materials." Robinson also said that concert promoters could be prosecuted if they implied stars were singing live when they weren't! No offense to the Aussies, but after about a year on tour, if they didn't realize Brit was lip-synching, then I have a bridge I can sell them ...

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Although the full interview won't air until tomorrow night, GMA gave us another look at Rihanna's emotional sit-down with Diane Sawyer. "That's embarrassing that that's the type of person that I fell in love with," she tells Diane in the new clip. "I stayed. I even went back after he beat me, which was wrong," Rihanna said. "But again ... I'm a human being and people put me on a very unrealistic pedestal. And all these expectations, I'm not perfect." Rihanna said her decision to finally get out was motivated by the idea that she was a negative role model for other young women who may have been in her same situation. "Even if Chris never hit me again, who is to say that their boyfriend won't? Who's to say that they won't kill these girls?" Rihanna continued, "These are young girls and I just didn't realize how much of an impact I had on these girls' lives until that happened." You can watch the entire interview tomorrow night on 20/20 at 10pm EST.

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart like to deny their relationship, but the chemistry between them in a new photo shoot for Harper's Bazaar says a thousand words. Even in the accompanying interview, which the duo is careful not to admit to any romantic relationship, you can read between the lines and definitely see that they, as the interviewer says, "couldn't be closer." In fact, reading their responses is like listening to two high schoolers in love! When asked about Kristen, Rob replied, "She's a unique girl," who "intimidated" him when they first met. "You don't meet many people like Kristen." As for Rob, Kristen says "He's a great singer. Heartbreaking." The down-low couple went on to rate each other in terms of who is more romantic, (Rob), egotistical (Rob), spends the most time on their hair (Rob) and who is more athletic (Kristen.) The highly anticipated sequel to Twilight, New Moon, will be in theaters November 20th.

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - TLC aired a special interview with Kate Gosselin last night, where she talked about how her life has changed since her break-up, the feelings she still has for her ex and how few people she can trust in her life. "A part of me always will [love Jon]," she told The Today Show's Natalie Morales. "It's hard to to be married to somebody for 10 years and try to say 'No, I don't love them anymore.' It doesn't work really well. I love the memories that we have together." Kate also said she feels trapped by the unexpected fame that came with her reality star status. "I signed up for a reality show, I didn't sign up to be a tabloid staple," she said. "If I said I was done and it was enough, it would just be five more covers of why it is that I'm done, and so I would be living that for a period of time essentially with no income, with no job," she whined. Kate also said that there are a "very, very small group of people" she can trust now, and that "I still wake up every day and I think the phone will ring and it'll be ... the old Jon." But the entire interview wasn't just a "poor me" pity party. Kate also admitted some responsibility for her situation. "I was wrong to treat him that way," she says of her controlling behavior. Wow, first Jon, now Kate admitting they were wrong? Maybe a reconciliation is possible after all!

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - After months of silence, Rihanna is finally speaking out about her horrible ordeal with Chris Brown, the ensuing media madness and domestic violence.

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - After months of silence, Rihanna is finally speaking out about her horrible ordeal with Chris Brown, the ensuing media madness and domestic violence. In an interview with Glamour, Rihanna revealed that although certain events in the past several months have been "humiliating" for the pop star, she's now "stronger, wiser and more aware." When asked how she got through the difficult year, Rihanna replied:

"My friends and family have been extremely supportive, and everyone has been there for me. But at some point you are there alone. It’s a lonely place to be—no one can understand. That’s when you get close to God."

But she says the incident with Brown is not the only thing she's had to overcome:

"I am talking about starting with the night [before] the Grammys and then on. That was not the only thing that occurred this year. The picture leaking…it was one thing after another. It was humiliating; that is not a photo you would show to anybody. I felt completely taken advantage of. I felt like people were making it into a fun topic on the Internet, and it’s my life. I was disappointed, especially when I found out the photo was [supposedly leaked by] two women."

And the ensuing media coverage of the shocking event has become a learning experience for Ri:

"It has taught me so much. I felt like I went to sleep as Rihanna and woke up as Britney Spears. That was the level of media chaos that happened the next day. It was like, What, there are helicopters circling my house? There are 100 people in my cul-de-sac? What do you mean, I can’t go back home?"

After months of working on herself, Rihanna finally feels that she's ready to help others by speaking out about domestic violence:

"It’s one of the things we [women] will hide, because it’s embarrassing. My story was broadcast all over the world for people to see, and they have followed every step of my recovery. The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn’t heard. Now I can help speak for those women."

This is the interview people have been waiting for her to give ever since her violent fight with then-boyfriend Chris Brown. And although she's been somewhat scrutinized for not speaking out earlier, we commend Rihanna for taking the time to heal herself before reaching out to try and help others.

Married?? I keep getting emails from old friends and family asking about a wedding. NO we didn't get married.

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Miley Cyrus has been voted "Worst Celeb Influence" in an online poll of tweens from JSYK.com. Cyrus, who drew criticism for dating a much older man (ex-boyfriend Justin Gaston who was 20 at the time they were together), posing in a controversial pic said to be mocking Asians, and performing what was compared to a pole dance at the Teen Choice Awards, was awarded a whopping 42%. Miley beat out Britney Spears, whose series of wardrobe malfunctions and crazy behavior gave way to a successful comeback (27%), Kanye West (19%), who stormed the stage of the VMAs to wrestle the mic away from moon man winner Taylor Swift, Vanessa Hudgens (9%), another Disney star whose series of X-rated candid pix leaked onto the internet to shatter her good girl image, and Shia LeBeouf (3%), the Transformers star who talks inappropriately about his mother and got into an accident which was original thought to be a DUI but later cleared. Cyrus was also voted 4th in the Favorite Female Artist category.

It's not clear what made him think he so desperately needed to get through or why he wouldn't get in trouble for doing so but he took his chances and it did NOT pay off! He was just on his way to pick up Lindsay at her apartment near the Sunset Marquis hotel and that's why police were around -- there was something going down at the Marquis.

X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Last night, after partying at club Wonderland, Lindsay Lohan left in the car of an underage paparazzo, who got pulled over by the cops when he ran a red light! After a full day on a photo shoot at Chateau Marmont, Lindsay decided to unwind with a night out with pals. However, things got really interesting when she left the club! Lindsay hopped into a car with 16-year-old paparazzo, Austin Visschedyk, who sped off down Hollywood Blvd., ran a red light and got pulled over by the cops -- as Lindsay hid in the back seat! An X17online photographer on the scene told us:
"Lindsay was on her photo shoot at the Chateau Marmont for what seemed like an eternity -- from 3:00 pm to 1:30 am. After that she went to Wonderland night club with a few friends at 1:40 am. When she left the night club, at 2:20 AM, she jumped inside of a 16-year-old paparazzo's car! He was speeding down Hollywood and when he passed the red light on the corner of Hollywood and La Brea, the cops pulled him over! Lindsay looked so embarrassed, she just hid her face in the backseat the entire time!"
I guess when you don't have a license, you can't be too picky who your designated driver is, but next time, Lindz, pick someone who's had their license for more than a minute!

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - In a new biography, tennis star Andre Agassi admits to having used the powerful drug, crystal methamphetamine, then lied about it to the Association of Tennis Professionals when it was detected during a drug test.
X17Online LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - In a new biography, tennis star Andre Agassi admits to having used the powerful drug, crystal methamphetamine, then lied about it to the Association of Tennis Professionals when it was detected during a drug test. In an excerpt from the book obtained by The Times, he writes about his first encounter with the drug in 1997, when his career was starting to fade and he was having troubles in his marriage to Brooke Shields. He writes that his assistant, whom he calls "Slim", first introduced him to the drug:
“Slim is stressed too ... He says, You want to get high with me? On what? Gack. What the hell’s gack? Crystal meth. Why do they call it gack? Because that’s the sound you make when you’re high ... Make you feel like Superman, dude. As if they’re coming out of someone else’s mouth, I hear these words: You know what? F*** it. Yeah. Let’s get high. Slim dumps a small pile of powder on the coffee table. He cuts it, snorts it. He cuts it again. I snort some. I ease back on the couch and consider the Rubicon I’ve just crossed. There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I’ve never felt so alive, so hopeful — and I’ve never felt such energy."
Agassi later details how he lied to the ATP after he failed a drug test to avoid a three-month suspension. He sat down to write the association a letter:
“I say Slim, whom I’ve since fired, is a known drug user, and that he often spikes his sodas with meth — which is true. Then I come to the central lie of the letter. I say that recently I drank accidentally from one of Slim’s spiked sodas, unwittingly ingesting his drugs. I ask for understanding and leniency and hastily sign it: Sincerely."
The ATP eventually threw the case out. ]]>
