We find it ironic that The Insider chose to focus on Lindsay's hoarding during this sweeps package -- doesn't she have slightly bigger problems? Still, we love this piece!

Even though Lindsay Lohan led us to believe that she was hanging out with Samantha Ronson and her sister Annabelle the other night, it turns out Lindsay was just bumming (well, forcing, from what we've heard!) a ride with the Ronsons, as she lives in the same building as Samantha.
Last night Lindsay and Samantha both went to the Tea Room, and we knew Sam got kicked off the turntables, but we didn't actually think Lindsay would pull a Regina George and publicly embarrass her ex like this! A source inside the club tells X17online that Lindsay and Samantha were fighting before they even got there, and once they were inside, Lindsay somehow managed to get Samantha kicked out of the DJ booth. Our source added, "Annabelle screamed at Lindsay, and the girls left shortly after that. Lindsay and her entourage laughed about it like it was a huge joke, and it was pretty clear to everyone that Lindsay was running the show."
After Sam received a heavy amount of criticism for using Lindsay to work her way into the Hollywood scene, it seems like the Mean Girl is equally capable of ruining her rep. But the question is, will Lilo always come out on top? I guess we'll find out tonight at Voyeur...you know Linds is going to be there, and Sam might just show up for a rematch!
So which team are you on - Team Lilo or Team SamRo?

Anne Hathaway shows us what she's got in the upcoming GQ UK edition -- and honey, what she's got!
And apparently she knows how to use it too ... she gave one lucky journalist a personal lesson in Movie Kissing 101 for their cover interview. Here's an excerpt:
"You have to leave your mouth open a little bit..." she purrs, making me squirm into uncharted levels of prudishness, closing her eyes and smudging her plump red lips against her own left hand, which she's holding tenderly with her right as she might the face of a co-star. "Open up," Anne suggests breathlessly as the earth seems to spin ever so slightly faster on its axis. "More, more, ever so lightly... otherwise you're going to be getting smooshy," she advises. "Now... slow it down... just a little bit..."
Oh, and because Anne knows how to get publicity for her interviews, she name-dropped Angelina Jolie and called her the perfect on-screen kisser. I think I'd rather kiss Anne with those moves!

Yesterday we spotted Benji Madden leaving the gym in West Hollywood, and even though the Good Charlotte rocker was looking a little moist in certain spots, he still looked delicious! Maybe Nicole didn't pick the hotter Madden bro?

Good to know that Katy Perry only need bring the essentials to work with her: Big box of Wheat Thins and a Chanel purse all while wearing a pair of sexy boots and black tights!
But being engaged to the funniest Brit in the world? Now that's priceless!

Ryan Seacrest was looking uber-dapper, if not slightly overdressed, last night at Madeo. He's so well put together, it just makes me think maybe he should ditch the stiff look and drop his Pants on the Ground, right?!
The American Idol host should, perhaps, take a queue from Idol contestant Larry Platt and just drrrrrrrop!
Since Platt's first rousing performance during the Atlanta auditions, he's become a star, a la William Hung -- he's appeared on The View, he met with the Minnesota Vikings, and he even performed live on the red carpet at the Grammys!
Seacrest has comment, however, that he was surprised by General Platt's popularity, saying: "We knew it was going to be popular but even we were surprised just how influential it turned out to be."
Speaking of popularity, check out the celeb of celebrities in the video below -- Ryan was the star of the show at Madeo even upstaging Entourage's Jeremy Piven!

Here's the thing - Taylor Swift is adorable, she plays the guitar and she's got a lovely voice on her albums, but when it comes to singing live and hitting the high notes, she probably wouldn't have made it past the first round of American Idol. What, it's true! And after her performance at the Grammys on Sunday, a lot of people were wondering how the country cutie who struggles to belt it out live walked away with no less than FOUR awards that night.
Swift’s label head, Big Machine CEO Scott Borchetta defended Taylor as the “voice of a generation†and said, “This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It’s not about that technically perfect performance.†Um, but isn't part of being a Grammy winning singer being able to carry a tune? For the record, her performance at the CMAs was just as questionable, so it's not like this was a one time thing.
Naturally, season one Idol winner Kelly Clarkson was seeing red when she heard Borchetta's remark, and she immediately posted an open letter on her I Am Kelly blog to vent. Kelly wrote:
Wow …..Dear Scott Borchetta,
I understand defending your artist obviously because I have done the same in the past for artists I like, including Taylor, so you might see why its upsetting to read you attacking American Idol for producing simply vocalists that hit ‘the high notes’. Thank you for that ‘Captain Obvious’ sense of humor because you know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the ‘right’ notes as well. Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better. I have been criticized left and right for having shaky performances before (and they were shaky) and what my manager or label executives say to me and the public is “I’ll kick butt next time†or “every performance isn’t going to be perfect†……I bring this up because you should take a lesson from these people and instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your ‘humble’ opinion lack true artistry), you should simply take a breath and realize that sometimes things won’t go according to plan or work out and that’s okay.
Sincerely,
One of those contestants from American Idol who only made it because of her high notes ;)
Think Taylor will have something to say to this? Let the games begin!
