Lindsay Lohan’s dad Michael has claimed God is punishing his troubled daughter.

The father-of-four said the Mean Girls starlet has wasted her talents.

And he accused her of being a liar.

His comments come after Lindsay claimed on her Twitter page that her father used to threaten to kill his ex-wife – and her mother – Dina Lohan.

Born-again Christian Michael said today: “That’s a lie. I guess Lindsay is on more drugs than I thought to say something like that.

“No wonder God is taking her entire career away from her.

“Because she’s forsaken everything He’s given her, and she’s done nothing but misuse all the gifts she’s been given.”

Lindsay, 23, claimed on Twitter: “He’s a deadbeat dad. He’s disgusting to do this. He doesn’t deserve attention. He needs help.

“She [Dina] blames herself for staying [with] him for so long, I’d beg her not to leave (because) he always threatened to kill her if she did.”

Italian actress Monica Bellucci said she gets “bored” around people who smoke and drink and would prefer to be with her daughter.

Bellucci, 44, is married to French actor Vincent Cassell and they have a four-year-old daughter, Deva.

She said: “Deva arrived at a perfect moment for me. I have done so many things in my life, been to so many places, had some great times – but when she came I was ready to give her everything she needed.

“The most important thing with children is to give them your time. Actually, that’s all that matters. I am at a stage in my life where if I don’t go out, I don’t feel I’m missing something.

“I get surrounded by people smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol… And I’m not so interested now in going to premieres, or being photographed on the red carpet. I want to be with her.”

Michael Douglas’s son was under surveillance for three years before he was arrested earlier this week for allegedly dealing crystal meth.

Cameron Douglas, 30, used the code “bath salts” to refer to the drug – which authorities claim he had been selling “pounds” of since 2006.

According to a criminal complaint, it is claimed Douglas – an actor and occasional DJ – sold drugs and shipped them via FedEx to his customers across the United States.

He was also allegedly caught on video referring to the deadly drug as “pastry”.

Douglas was arrested at the posh Gansevoort Hotel in New York on July 28 by a DEA [Drug Enforcement Administration] task force following an undercover sting operation.

News of the arrest did not emerge until earlier this week.

He had been staying at the hotel, courtesy of his father, for some time, possibly after he was evicted from his Los Angeles home for not paying his rent.

When authorities barged in, they found the place a mess and said Douglas was “very strung out,” sources said.

An informant had told investigators that Douglas was the middleman in a deal to move a half-pound of crystal meth from California to New York to sell. But the drugs were intercepted before they got to New York.

The recent scandal involving Michael Phelps is not enough to break his family. Michael Phelps was earlier castigated for being photographed while holding a marijuana device. This resulted to his suspension as well as from the withdrawal of Kellogg’s as his sponsor. Michael Phelps however immediately apologized not only to the people who idolized him but more importantly to his mother Debbie Phelps.

Debbie Phelps however said neither an absent dad nor a scandalous photo will bring her family down. She said no one’s life is perfect and she has never expected a fairytale existence especially after her son’s photo was published. Debbie Phelps she is a nurturing and supporting person who always holds a hand and trying to understand. She said she has always enjoyed good communication with her three children. She said she knows her children are learning from her advices and from their mistakes.

The recent controversy involving Michael Phelps’ use of pot should teach him a lesson even if he is not going to be charged for such bad behavior. Richland County Sheriff Leon Lett said they have investigated the matter and found no evidence to pin Phelps with any charge. Phelps, who has fourteen Olympic gold medals, is considered a youth model but his recent indiscretion has backlashed on his career not only as a swimmer but even as a product endorser. Phelps already apologized for his behavior but Kellogg’s has already dropped him as their official endorser. Subway also dropped Phelps from their website but said they are still willing to work with him.

He was also suspended by the USA Swimming for three months for his behavior and is not allowed to compete within this period. Lett said something should come out positive from this incident and Phelps agrees with this. He said this incident should not only teach Phelps a lesson but also parents who should take the opportunity to discuss illegal drug use with their children. It isn’t a lost cause for Phelps though because most of his advertisers are standing by him including Speedo.

The death of Scott Ruffalo is still a mystery but one thing is for sure; he was not under the influence of drugs when he was shot. The L.A. County Coroner may have found traces of morphine, cocaine and alcohol in Ruffalo’s system at the time he died but these were very slight ruling out that he was under the influence of drug at the time of his death. Country Coroner spokesman Ed Winter, who said the morphine traces may be due to prescription medication, said the Coroners still believes that Ruffalo’s death was a homicide.

The 39-year old Ruffalo is the younger brother of actor Mark Ruffalo. He was found shot in the head at his condominium in Beverly Hills last December and died after a week in the hospital. Shasha Mishaal Adham turned herself in to the police a few days after the shooting but was later released. Adham’s lawyer Ronald Richards said they have evidence that Ruffalo, who is a known cocaine user, died as a consequence of playing Russian roulette. He added that Ruffalo often used drugs and played with guns even in front of witnesses. Records show that Ruffalo was sentenced to three days in probation after he pleaded guilty to drug possession with intent to sell in 2002. He also spent two days in jail in relation to the plea deal.

Ryan O’Neal has finally admitted he was having drug problems after pleading guilty to possessing a controlled substance for which he was arrested last September. The 67-year old actor earlier claimed innocence and blamed everything on his 23-year old son Redmond. Along with the guilty plea is his agreement to enter an 18-month drug program in exchange for the dismissal of all charges against him subject to certain conditions.

Lawyer Mark Wesman said the actor wanted to resolve this in a dignified manner so he can finally leave all this behind. Ryan and Redmond were arrested after the authorities conducted a routine probation sweep in line with the previous arrest of Redmond. Ryan earlier said the vial of amphetamine found in his room was confiscated from his son. Drug use seems to run in the family. O’Neal’s 44-year old daughter Tatum was also arrested earlier in June for attempting to buy cocaine. Tatum earlier told Oprah that she plans to make herself of service to other drug addicts. Well, now she will have this opportunity right in her backyard.

Amy Winehouse proves that she’s just about to kill herself.

Amy Winehouse turned up to her DJ set at London’s Monarch pub in the Camden-area looking absolutely tragic on Thursday night.

Is there something new about that? WHY ARE THEY STILL HIRING HER?

She was seen violently fighting with her security guards, punching them out of her way as they tried to get her under control.

Her waif, dirty and wasted appearance reportedly shocked awaiting fans (She still has fans?).

And like adding insult to injury, she appeared to have scabs and scratches on her arms and legs and something black and strange on her tooth.
So sad to see such great talent to go away.

Cybill Shepherd says she is being haunted by ex-love Elvis Presley. The actress wishes she had done more to help the late music legend as his life descended into binge eating and depression before his untimely death at the age of 42.

She said: “I don’t feel him in a way that I feel I have to call ghostbusters, but I’ve been haunted by Elvis in the sense that when I knew him, he was very sweet but also seriously into drugs.”

Cybill dated Elvis in the early 70s but was unable to cope with his self-destructive tendencies and eventually left him for film director Peter Bogdanovich.

She added: “I’ve been haunted by wishing he could have lived longer because I’m from Memphis and I’ve had the fame thing, too. Maybe I could have helped him.”

Elvis died in 1977 from a suspected heart attack as he sat on the toilet.

She may or may not have emphysema but one thing isn’t changing for Amy Winehouse – she’s not quitting smoking. She’s reportedly having some serious pulmonary issues but Wino was spotted inhaling a cancer stick just one day after she was released from the hospital. Daddy Wino keeps saying that if she doesn’t stop smoking the rock “It won’t just ruin her voice, it will kill her.” Meanwhile, her rep says that she doesn’t really have emphysema but rather just an early stage condition that may or may not lead to the disease. The early stages are the best time to quit so it doesn’t lead to anything more serious. Daddy Wino has a point.

Remember Full House? Where Dad, Uncle Joey, and (yumm) Uncle Jesse raised D.J., Stephanie, and baby Michelle? Ever wonder what happened to Steph?

Well, after the show ended, she spent years battling a meth addiction. She was 22 and married to LAPD officer Shaun Holguin when she tried it for the first time. Within six month, she was addicted and hiding that from her husband. In 2005, though, the story broke when she was hospitalized after partying too much.

The two divorced and Jodie met now-husband Cory Herpin through friends in 2007. They met, married two months later, and were expecting a child just shortly thereafter. Now, Jodie and Cory are the proud parents of seven week old Zoie – and Jodie is clean.

She says, “You look at your baby and think ‘Wow, I did that.’ It’s really amazing.”

Tina Turner wants to help Amy Winehouse. The ‘Simply the Best’ singer – whose ex-husband Ike Turner battled various drug addictions – says ‘Rehab’ star Amy needs to kick her habit.

Tina, 68, who is currently planning her comeback tour, said: “My view of Amy is that her problems started before her success. And the drugs are making it hard for her to deal with everything. When you take drugs that feeling passes and you have nothing. I don’t even know if you can remember what that feeling was. You get nothing from drugs except a feeling and bad health.”

Tina claims 24-year-old Amy can enjoy a long and successful career – but only if she cleans up her act. She added: “If she was clean now she would be celebrating now because she is wonderful. Her voice is absolutely timeless.”

Amy Winehouse is in the clear after being arrested last week in relation to the crack smoking video of hers earlier this year. The police have decided not to pursue any further action against the ‘Rehab’ singer. Wino’s spokesperson released a statement on Wednesday morning saying “Police have confirmed that no action will be taken against Amy Winehouse in relation to an investigation into a video handed to them in January. She was questioned by police last week and released on unconditional bail. They have now concluded their enquiries and no charges will be brought. Amy’s bail date to return to Limehouse police station has been cancelled, bringing this matter to an end. Amy is pleased to be able to move on and concentrate on music and particularly looks forward to seeing her fans again at eagerly awaited festival performances this summer.”

Pete Doherty has admitted he cheated drug tests while in prison.

Well we all knew that.

The Babyshambles frontman, who recently left London’s Wormwood Scrubs Prison, claims he only got his drug-free certificate because he used another inmate’s urine. He said in an interview: ‘I was banging it. The only time I tested clean was when I used someone else’s p**s.’

Pete also revealed how terrified he was during his incarceration at the tough jail after one prisoner threatened to stab him. He said: ‘It was quite hard work. Constant shouting, ‘Pete, is Kate Moss a good s**g? Give us a song.’ I woke up to hear, ‘You wait, I’m going to see you outside and stab you up.’ ‘

Ooer scary stuff!

Despite his drug boasts, the 29-year-old rocker realised his substance abuse had spiralled out of control when he attacked one of his beloved cats. He added: ‘I got a shovel and was going to kill one of the cats. It was a bit of a crazy time.’

The hell-raising musician has also confirmed he will be working on a follow-up to Babyshambles’ ‘Shotters Nation’ album. Pete added: ‘That will keep me busy and, hopefully, out of trouble.’
