DINA LOHAN DISCUSSES LINDSAY’S RECOVERY
Lindsay Lohan’s mother Dina was interviewed by 20/20 last week, where she opened up about her daughter’s “lifelong struggle with addiction.” “I think she’s gonna be okay,” said Dina. “She’s a young girl struggling. You know, she’s not perfect… She’s learning as she goes, but she’s learning under a microscope, so I can’t even imagine how that is.” Dina said Lindsay’s troubles began as soon as she moved to Los Angeles in 2004 (at age 18), and she tried hard to get help for her daughter. “I knew early on, I just didn’t tell anyone about it,” said Dina. “It was a personal situation.” As for Lindsay’s recent grand theft arrest, Dina told the show that she could “absolutely not” believe that her daughter was a thief. Lindsay has been in and out of rehab five times, but Dina insists things have finally sunk in for her daughter. She explained, “I really think she was at a maturation level that she now understands what she needs to get from it. And she grasps that.”

BIRKHEAD UPSET OVER ANNA NICOLE OPERA
Anna Nicole Smith’s former boyfriend Larry Birkhead isn’t happy about a London opera about the former Playboy playmate. Anna Nicole opened last week at the Royal Opera House in London, and Birkhead, father of Anna Nicole’s only surviving child Dannielynn, says he’s looking into whether he can sue over the production. “That lady is no Anna Nicole,” Birkhead said of the show’s star. “We are looking at our legal options to see if they misused Anna’s image and likeness. We are going to have the estate attorneys look at what can be done about it.” Birkhead hasn’t seen the opera but he was very upset after reading reports about it. He said, “it’s like someone took a bunch of tabloids and threw it at producers and said, see what you can do with this. They said it was going to be something that was tastefully done. But then they put a trailer out on YouTube that was really kind of trashy and tabloidy.”
KELSEY’S DAUGHTER TO SKIP WEDDING/CAMILLE LANDS JOB
Kelsey Grammer’s 9-year-old daughter will not be at his wedding later this month because she’s already got other plans. Camille Grammer tells People that 9-year-old Mason decided against attending Kelsey’s New York nuptials to Kayte Walsh because it conflicts with her talent show. “My daughter has a talent show that day that she’s been working on for two months,” Camille told People. “I told her, ‘Mason, you can go. Please if you want to go to daddy’s wedding, please do,’ and she said, ‘No mommy. I want to go to my talent show.’” The couple’s six-year-old son Jude will be present for the wedding, taking place at the Plaza Hotel. Camille insists that Mason’s decision was entirely her own. “I would never hold my children back from that,” she said. “I would never want them to resent me for holding them back from their father’s wedding.” Meanwhile, Camille recently landed herself a job. Over the weekend it was announced that the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star will be part of Academy Awards red carpet team on CNN’s Showbiz Tonight.
CELEBRITY APPRENTICE SMACKDOWN?!
It’s no secret that Celebrity Apprentice co-stars NeNe Leakes and Star Jones did not get along while shooting the NBC show, but Radaronline reports the pair actually came to physical blows during filming. “Star pointed her finger right in NeNe’s face and she slapped her hands away and rushed towards her,” a production source revealed. “People had to intervene to separate them before things got totally out of hand.” Adds the source, “With NeNe being 5 ft 10 inches tall and Star only 5 ft 5 inches tall, it was an unlikely match-up, but both women were really angry.” Unfortunately for TV fans, the altercation may not make it to the air because host Donald Trump is against it. “He thinks they both behaved inappropriately,” said a source. “Their feuding may turn out to be ratings gold but these two women really despise one another now.” The show premieres Sunday, March 6th at 8PM.
