From Celebitchy: "A judge has ordered Michael and Dina Lohan, the divorced parents of Lindsay and younger siblings sister Aliana, 13, and brother Dakota, 11, to attend therapy together. The judge presiding over the custody battle for Lindsay’s younger siblings says that therapy will aim to reunite Lindsay’s father Michael with his children. Michael was released from prison in March after serving less than two years out of a four year sentence for DUI and assault.

This week’s Enquirer is reporting that Michael plans to reveal that his wife used cocaine while pregnant with Lindsay if things don’t go his way in the custody battle. This is not entirely new, as these details about Dina’s alleged cocaine use were revealed during their divorce:

In court documents related to the Lohans’ divorce, Michael stated: “During our courtship, my wife abused cocaine on a regular basis. She would fly into fits of rage… and while my wife was pregnant with our oldest child, Lindsay, she would travel regularly to Flushing, Queens, in order to purchase cocaine.

“My wife has always rationalized her use of cocaine by saying that ‘it sharpens her talents’”

[From National Enquirer print edition, July 2, 2007]

Lohan’s mom denies using cocaine while pregnant.

The Enquirer quotes an expert as saying that if this is true, it could genetically predispose Lindsay to become an addict herself. Whether the cause of Lindsay’s addictive personality is nature or nuture or a combination of both, it’s not that much of a stretch to look to her messed up family as inspiration. I’m not saying that she shouldn’t have personal responsibility for her issues, just that you can see where they come from.

Lohan is wisely going to spend more time in Promises rehab beyond 30 days. Dina says she’s “doing great” and is going into the facility’s “extended care program.” Lindsay’s 21st birthday party in Vegas on July 2nd has been cancelled, but she will still have an alcohol-free party outside of the facility. While I wish her the best and hope she cleans up for good, the skeptic in me thinks she’s staying longer in rehab so that she can time her exit to maximum effect. If she were to get out now, her return to the paparazzi spotlight would be eclipsed by Paris’ big release from jail.

From Hollywood Rag, the Hoff is an alcoholic Energizer Bunny: "David Hasselhoff has been hospitalized 13 times for alcohol poisoning, the star's ex-wife claims. Pamela Bach says the former 'Baywatch' actor's "extreme" problem with drink
gradually "eroded" their 16-year-marriage. She told Us Weekly magazine: "He's been through three rehabs - in 2001,
2002, and 2004. He has been to the emergency room at least 12 to 13 times at Cedars-Sinai, under aliases, for alcohol poisoning. His disease is very extreme. Over time, the disease eroded the relationship."

Hasselhoff's attorney, Melvin Goldsman, claims Bach's allegations are "not true".

Bach, 43, explained the first time she saw the 54-year-old actor drunk was on their second date.

She said: "The first time I saw David wasted was our second date at his house. I thought, 'Wow, he drank a little bit too much and too fast.'

"But he was my best friend, and I was lucky to marry the love of my life."

Bach also revealed she was alone in her bedroom watching TV when she saw the now infamous video of a drunk Hasselhoff rolling around shirtless on a hotel.

The footage was filmed by the couple's 16-year-old daughter Taylor-Ann, after her father asked her to video him when drunk so he could "see what he is like". When asked what she thought about the video, Bach replied: "So many
emotions. I'm thinking of protecting my family, and who released this? And I'm thinking that Taylor-Ann is so calm, because she's been raised around it."

Bach and Hasselhoff, who divorced in 2006, are in a bitter custody battle for Taylor-Ann and 14 year-old Hayley (pictured).

CELEB DISH CUTLETS

--> Recently separated Ryan Philippe and Reese Witherspoon have reunited...for daughter Ava's school play. I really yanked your chain on that one, huh? All your hopes for Hollywood's golden couple to get back together waved before your eyes, then it all comes crashing down, cruelly revealed as estranged parents coming together "for the kids." I don't really think they're Hollywood's golden couple (as evidenced by their split) but I do think they produced some of the more attractive of Hollywood children, Ava and Deacon.

--> Britney Spears dyed her hair black, added black extensions as well as a silver Star of David. Britney, who has dabbled in Kabbalah (this we only know because she wore the trademark red string around her wrist while "studying" the religion with teacher Madonna; she later remarked "My baby is my religion" so she obviously takes the subject very seriuosly), may be experimenting with Judaism because new boyfriend Isaac Cohen is Jewish (really? That name is totally Irish). I'm on the fence about the new hair...can't decide what look I like best. She kinda looks vampy with black hair, but then she goes and ruins the look with some fucked up baby doll dress and cowboy boots. I think blonde suits her better.

--> Radar magazine, testing the "three strikes, you're out" rule of baseball, is back for the third time with a new and improved magazine. This month's cover story concerns the male sluts of Hollywood (Colin Farrell, Jeremy Piven, Benicio Del Toro) and Richworld (Joe Francis, the owner of Revlon, the guy who had a kid with Heidi Klum--B.S. [before Seal]). The most interesting thing to note is that Moby (?!?!) is included on the list, and Radar mentions that he slept with a 20 year old Natalie Portman (?!?!) and uses the line "I really, really, really...wanna fuck you." He is called "stealth toxic" by Radar. And he seemed so peaceful, and vegan-y! Watch your back, electronica fans.

--> Conflicting stories: US Weekly claims that Jessica Biel has snagged newly single Justin Timberlake (after she was yelled at for flirting with JT by an enraged/dumped Cameron Diaz at a Globes afterparty, which obviously didn't scare her away...I mean, have you seen JB's biceps? She's tough) and they went skiing together when JT invited her to Sundance. Their source says "Jessica is fun and spontaneous, so she was like, sure what the hell!" I know that's how I talk about my friends: Tina is spectacular and cool, she's always down for anything! But People mag is maintaining that JT and JB are "just friends." I think that's bc People mag wants to bone JT. I mean, who doesn't? Well, maybe Prince doesn't.

--> US Weekly has obtained (who mails this shit into them?) a receipt for Britney's latest run to the grocery store:

Hot dogs……$4.19
Doritos……$1.88
Lean Cuisine One Dish Favorite frozen meal (5)….$10.00
Diet Coke and 7-Up, 12-packs….$7.79
Florida’s Natural orange juice (2)….$6.00
Bib……………$3.99
Pampers Easy-ups, size 6…….$10.79
Pampers Swaddlers, size 1……….$10.49

Wait, I thought she preferred Cheetos? New man, new chip? And what's with diapers being so expensive? That's like sunscreen, you have to fucking donate a kidney to be able to afford that stuff. Oh well, at least she's not letting her kids take after mom with some un-diapered crotchshots.

--> Courtney Love apparently has been punked...she supposedly received a call from the producers of "American Idol" requesting that she think about replacing boozy judge Paula Abdul on the show. Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe refutes this, saying the threesome of Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell, and Paula Abdul will continue their reign of terror, inciting tears and self-esteem blows to contestants all across America. Sigh. Of. Relief. Though Courtney "says" she's been sober for a year, her appearance on the Comedy Central roast of Pamela Anderson would prove otherwise. Seriously, she and Paula are a good match: both claim they aren't touching drugs or alcohol, but act crazy in public. And would Simon EVER put up with Courtney? I think Paula's got him on his last nerve, but Courtney would explode that nerve. And Randy? He's just there, dawg.

--> "Prison Break" costar Lane Garrison was involved in a fatal DUI last December that killed a 17 year old boy...apparently, the kid and two 15 year old girls recognized him at a gas station and invited him to a party. He had nothing better to do than party with teens? Who were probably not that starstruck? On the way to get more liquor, Garrison crashed his Land Rover, with a blood alcohol content twice the legal limit. He also was seen snorting mass amounts of coke at the party and his eyes, according to one witness, "looked glazed over." The Beverly Hills police dep't is recommending criminal prosecution, and there will be a press conference today to determine whether or not he will charged with vehicular manslaughter.
