Despite the fact that Inferno director Matthew Wilder told E! News they dropped Lindsay Lohan from the project, we're hearing an entirely different story!

A source very close to the actress tells X17online that Lindsay "quit Inferno, she wasn't fired."

This does seem to make more sense - after all, Wilder has been insistent about sticking by LiLo's side throughout this whole ordeal. Why would he suddenly drop her?

"Lindsay met with Inferno's Matthew Wilder last week and that's pretty much when she quit," explains our source.

Another source tells us Lindsay is being more selective with her projects and wants to pursue roles "like the ones that made her successful." Linds "also realizes that she doesn't need to identify with roles that relate to issues she has personally dealt with. Even her counselors, laywers and family members have stressed that."

Playing porn star Linda Lovelace immediately after leaving rehab wouldn't be the smartest idea, and we're in total agreement!

The source also claims that director Wilder was "using Lindsay to promote himself and Wilder was talking too much to the press."

Meanwhile, Malin Akerman (of Watchmen and, originally, TV's The Comeback) is now confirmed to take Lindsay's place in Inferno, according to Deadline. Best of luck!

There'll be plenty more projects to pursue after LiLo's stint at Betty Ford, including The Dry Gulch Kid. Just focus on getting better for now, girl!

After a long day of shooting her new film Wanderlust, Jennifer Aniston was photographed leaving the set and heading off to dinner on Friday evening. She may have looked a bit peeved earlier in the day (maybe she had just found out that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were landing in NYC?), but she definitely warmed up when she spotted our cameras. Loves her!

Kim Kardashian and a few gal pals were spotted leaving an eatery in Beverly Hills yesterday, and even though the weather was dismal, Kim K sure knows how to brighten our day!

And those thigh high boots? HOT HOT HOT!

Russell Brand was snapped arriving at his Ashtanga yoga class in Hollywood this morning, and it looks like he needed to relieve a little stress. Hopefully it's not anything having to do with his recent marriage to singer Katy Perry!

Katy told the UK tabloid Daily Star, "I am overly, compulsively and obsessively in charge of everything. I can't help it, it's just how I am." Maybe she's already starting to wear on him?

Last night Courteney Cox was spotted leaving an event at Kitson in West Hollywood, and the raven-haired actress was looking fab as always. While her estranged hubby David has been off doing his own thing, Court is keeping calm with all the drama surrounding their marriage these days. Seems like that's the best thing to do since there's a child involved in all of this!

Before a romantic dinner at Red O, Mario Lopez and baby mama Courtney Mazza made an appearance at every C-lister's favorite milkshake shop in LA, but here's a nice twist: a portion of Lopez's milkshake sales will benefit the Boys & Girls Club of Venice.

As far as we can see, these are NOT photographers Rihanna's bodyguard appears to be assaulting, they're civilians!

Rihanna was shopping on Robertson Blvd in West Hollywood yesterday, and apparently someone got too close for comfort because we spotted her bodyguard hurling a soda can at a man (and going after several fans who appeared to be trying to talk to the R&B starlet). Wonder if anyone's going to sue? And what's the bodyguard's side of the story?

They looked as stunned as we were:

Mark my words, this will be the Hollywood couple who will outlast them all!

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi were all lovey dovey outside of Madeo last night, and the ladies kindly posed for pictures as they exited the restaurant.

So what else is new with these two? While Ellen has been busy interviewing everyone from Xtina to Justin Timberlake on her show, the latest rumor is that Portia is being scouted by Dancing With The Stars producers as a possible casting choice for same-sex couple competitors. We'll keep you posted on that one!
