Lindsay Lohan Mugshot
In a Beverly Hills courthouse on Friday September 24 Lindsay Lohan was sent back to jail by a judge because she failed a drug test. She tested positive for cocaine and adderall during a court ordered drug test last week in which Lohan acknowledged via twitter saying “Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps. This is certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I’m prepared to face the consequences.” Lindsay won’t be getting released early because this time she is being held by the court until October 22 for her next hearing. Sources close to Lohan say that she wasn’t expecting the judge to be so harsh on her and thought that she would at least be granted bail. It is being reported that she is being very cooperative.
UPDATE: Judge Elden Fox had issued a “no bail” ruling but that was overturned because Lindsay’s lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley filed an appeal and won and Lohan’s bail was set at $300,000. Lohan posted her bail and is now a free woman although she does have to wear another SCRAM bracelet and isn’t allowed in bars or clubs.

Lady Gaga Meat Dress
Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards featured big wins by Lady Gaga who wore a meat dress and scored 8 VMA’s. She won for Best Female Video, Video Of The Year, Best Pop Video, Best Collaboration, Best Dance Music Video, Best Choreography, Best Direction, and Best Editing. It was her hit song Bad Romance that scored her award after award. Eminem also won two VMA’s for his hit song Not Afraid which were Best Male Video and Best Hip Hop Video. Throughout the night we saw performances from Eminem who was joined by Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Usher, Drake, but the two most anticipated were by Kanye West and Taylor Swift. Remember from last year when Taylor Swift was accepting her award for Best Female Video and Kanye got up on the stage grabbed the mic from her and said the award should have gone to Beyonce, well it seems the two both addressed the issue in their performances last night. Taylor performed her new song Stealing Innocence in which the lyrics say
“It’s alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who your are is not where you’ve been
You’re still an innocent
It’s okay, life is a tough crowd
Thirty two and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You’re still an innocent”
Many believe she is addressing Kanye in the song and forgiving him. The lyrics set off quite a buzz on the internet with everyone searching for the age of Kanye West. He was born June 8, 1977 which makes him 33 now but 32 at the time he interrupted her on the stage and at which she most likely wrote the song. Later in the night Kanye performed a new song as well for the first time called Runaway and the lyrics say “Let’s have a toast for the douchebags,” he rapped. “Let’s have a toast for the a——s. Let’s have a toast for the scumbags. Let’s have a toast for the jerk—s. Baby, I got a plan. Runaway fast as you can.” It seems as though he is speaking of himself in the lyrics. The show was hosted by Chelsea Handler.

When speaking of the reunion show Staub said “At the reunion, I knew I was leaving but I didn’t know if I’d get to say goodbye or if I’d be chased off the set. I can honestly say it was starting to be a really stressful situation for me. Constantly having to deal with people attacking me physically, emotionally, mentally, as a mother, as a human, as a woman. I really didn’t want to continue that.” Of her decision to leave the show she says “I’m relieved, happy. It feels amazing to leave on a positive note.” Danielle Staub 48, is a divorced mother of two. In the past year she released a book called The Naked Truth: The Real Story Behind The Real Housewife Of New Jersey. Will you miss her on the show?

Dr. Oz
Dr. Mehmet Oz from The Dr. Oz Show will undergo a colonoscopy on the season premiere September 7. He celebrated his 50th birthday in June and wanted to highlight the procedures value on the show. The doctor that performs the colonoscopy is Dr. Jon LaPook, a gastroenterologist who is chief medical correspondent for CBS News. During the examination the doctor finds a polyp, or precancerous growth inside his intestine. If this polyp was left behind or undiscovered it could have likely become colon cancer. Dr. Oz is quoted as saying “This was a shakeup for me,” he told PEOPLE. “I have done everything right. I don’t have any family history, and yet I’m high risk now.” The next step for him is that he will be screened again in three months to see if all of the precancerous tissue was removed and if any other growths have formed. He will also now have to get regular colonoscopies to see if there are any new polyps. Dr. Oz is very grateful that he did not put this procedure off like many people do and he believes this procedure saved his life. He will openly discuss the health scare on the season premiere.
