With Lindsay's court date looming on the horizon, why would her family members leave her?

Last night we spotted Ali Lohan and her brother Michael boarding a plane at LAX, and they weren't exactly chatty with photogs as they arrived at the airport, but can you blame them? Lindsay might be going back to jail on Friday for failing her drug test, and we know they love their sister, but it's got to be annoying when that's the only subject reporters and photographers want to bring up!

Maybe Ali's got some sort of uber important modeling gig lined up? Her latest shots for Lindsay's 6126 clothing line have hit the web, and it certainly looks like the youngest gal in the Lohan clan has a bright future ahead of her:

Say it ain't so! We were finally having some respect for the starlet, but a source tells Us mag Lindsay Lohan they saw the troubled actress write her seemingly mature statement on her Blackberry at Magnolia restaurant last Friday, and she laughed and drank whiskey as she typed!

Lohan reportedly drafted the tweet as her assistant and a male pal "coached her on how to make it 'more personal,'" according to the spy. "Her friend would say, 'No, use 'setback,' don't say 'mistake.' They'll say you make mistakes all the time! It's better to say you're responsible. Denying it will just get everyone mad per usual." Lindsay's response? She reportedly "giggled" and had her assistant order her another Jack and Coke!

The source also says Linds even joked about drinking whiskey that night, telling her friends, "What are you gonna do?" I'm ill" -- making air quotes with her fingers. Let's hope Judge Fox doesn't read the gossip blogs! Then again, would it really make a difference with Lindsay going to jail or not?

A sneak peek of Katy Perry's appearance on Sesame Street has sparked controversy among parents, and now the segment has been removed from the broadcast, which was set to air later this year on PBS.

Perry sings a kid-friendly version of her hit single "Hot N Cold" with Elmo, but she wore a rather low cut dress for the performance, which even had us wondering if it was appropriate for young eyes!

A Sesame Street spokesperson released the following statement today:

"Sesame Street has a long history of working with celebrities across all genres, including athletes, actors, musicians and artists. Sesame Street has always been written on two levels, for the child and adult. We use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co-viewing with a parent or care-giver. We also value our viewer’s opinions and particularly those of parents. In light of the feedback we’ve received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on You Tube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street, which is aimed at preschoolers. Katy Perry fans will still be able to view the video on You Tube."

Miley Cyrus is back in LA and getting back to work!

Girlfriend was LOL-ing on the way to a recording studio in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, wearing a short, feminine frock.

For once since she's been back, Miley was not attached to the hip with her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth (although we caught her texting on the way in, could she have been sending him some naughty messages?)

Of course, since Miley emphatically told her fans that she and Liam are NOT living together and NOT getting engaged, maybe she was just trying to prove a point that she is an independent woman!

Just to be clear, Madonna, 52, is 39 years older than her 13-year-old daughter Lourdes. But the pair looked more like sisters than mother/daughter at the launch of their Material Girl clothing line at Macy's in New York last night.

Of course, she was looking like an older, more conservative sister in a knee-length black dress and untorn fishnets, but still. Speaking of a family connection, Material Girl spokesmodel Taylor Momsen looked like she fit right in with the Ciccones:



In fact, they could ALL be sisters! Somewhat twisted sisters, but still!

Lindsay Lohan may get thrown in jail for thirty days on Friday, but it hasn't seemed to slow her down.

The troubled starlet is spending her last few days of freedom indulging her addictions (well, one of them at least), going shopping!

But unlike previous years when a shopping trip consisted of trips to Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada on Rodeo Dr., yesterday Lindsay hit discount retail giant H&M! Could this be a sign her financial situation is as damaged as her legal one?

Lindsay is set to face Judge Fox bright and early Friday morning where she'll learn her fate. Of course, even if she is sent to jail for 30 days, there's a chance she won't even make it one day due to overcrowding.

Is that why she's smiling?

First of all, how awesome was it to see the teaser trailer for next week's episode of Glee - featuring the one and only Britney Spears! So psyched to see all the covers of her best songs.

And now we have the princess of pop herself strolling through The Grove this afternoon on yet another shopping excursion. Britney looked as beautiful as ever in a summery button-down top (with a bra underneath this time around, phew!) and her trusty pair of boots. You go, girl!

And what about the hair? How's that weave doin', Brit?



Better than expected!

Maybe it's just the fiery lipstick - how very Xtina of her! - but LiLo's pouty lips appeared a bit fuller last night when we spotted the Inferno actress grabbing dinner in West Hollywood with her brother and sister.

We're also thrilled that the red hair is almost completely back! It gets brighter every day, right? I think Lindsay knows she has more power when she lets loose the red hair. But still, those lips... they almost rival Angelina Jolie's signature pout! Just saying.

In other random Lindsay Lohan news, Minka Kelly shared her advice for the troubled starlet at Self Magazine's Women Doing Good event in NYC: "She should move to Guam."

Say what? Minka continues with, "I'm not kidding. She should move to Guam for like a year. She's addicted to being in front of paparazzi... if she just escaped and went somewhere where she's not important to the paparazzi, she'd get herself better." Hmm, maybe Minka does have a point there. Or maybe not?

And that's your daily Lohan update!
