Nicole Richie took her newly re-blonded (orange we glad that color toned down a bit?) locks out for a spin today. In fact, the diminutive starlet who was at LAX, accompanied by her friend, Bizarro Elisha Cuthbert, appeared to be on her way out of town.

Perhaps this trip has something to do with visiting her boyfriend Joel Madden, who blogged about playing a show in Indonesia earlier this week? Hey, no harm in playing groupie for a while. It's not like she's got a lot of work to worry about.

Victoria is busy house hunting and finding the best schools for her boys. Rumor is the Beckhams are looking to move to the Pacific Palisades area and Posh is supposedly interested in sending the boys to St. Matthew's Parish. A spokesman for the school, however, declined to comment. You know whatever lucky school gets those kids is going to have quite a soccer program when David is through with them!

I know, I know, it's been hours, HOURS, since we last checked on Lindsay Lohan's progress at rehab (and for those of you that are camped out outside the clinic singing hymns of support, sorry about the weather!), but our little fighter has finally spoken about how things are hanging in her neck of the withdrawal woods. (BTW, how's it for irony that Lindsay Lohan looked the best she has in a while on the night she hit rock bottom?) OK Magazine reports:

"I'm doing so great, thanks," the 20-year-old singer and actress told OK! in an exclusive interview from her suite at L.A.'s Wonderland Center rehabilitation facility. "I'm fine. Nothing to worry about. Thank you so much for checking in, I do appreciate it...I'm actually watching American Idol at the moment and laughing so hard!"

Really? It wasn't that funny last night. Methinks everything may not be out of her system yet. Thank god, though, Dina Lohan is also around to spew stuff out of her mouth on the state of her daughter. She's just soooo supportive. Star Magazine has this gem:

"I'm so proud of her. She's really in a good place right now, spiritually and mentally. She's in an amazing, phenomenal place. She's 20 and she's solid, and she's doing what she needs to do. I don’t know that many people who are that secure. It's all about her, and getting back on track. She's fine — she’s amazingly fine."

Yes, Dina. Your daughter. IN REHAB. Is fine. You may go back to partying now, no need to worry about her.

America looks like she's having a great time shooting new scenes for Ugly Betty with Rebecca Romijn. Looks like we are not the only fans of the actress who just won Golden Globes for both best actress and best comedy. Yesterday Congresswoman Hilda L. Solis praised America to the US House of Representatives for her work in advancing awareness of the Latino community! She said:

"Madame Speaker, I rise today to congratulate America Ferrera for winning the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy for her work in the ABC show Ugly Betty," Solis said.

"Through her work, Ms. Ferrera is breaking down barriers for Latinos in prime-time television. ... I commend America and everyone involved in Ugly Betty for helping to break down stereotypes and provide a role model for young Latinas."

Wow! There's something that doesn't happen every day. Sounds like America is America's new sweetheart! For more pics of the shoot including Judith Light (remember her from Who's the Boss?) just read more

Britney was all smiles the other day while heading out for a bite to eat with two friends. While we are happy to report her friendship with Paris has fizzled out, unfortunately for Britney, it has damaged her image. Not only was she passed over for a Superbowl ad but now she has been uninvited from an event in Austria the two were supposed to host together. Every year wealthy industrialist Richard Lugner and his wife invite a few lucky celebs to the elegant Vienna Opera Ball. And by invite I mean pay them hundred of thousands of dollars to attend.

When asked why Britney wasn't coming, Lugner said, “They unfortunately do not get along anymore.” It's usually sad when friends split up, but this one we aren't too broken up about.

It may look like Matthew McConaughey is in Australia simply to sample an array of bikini-ed women, but no, he's totally there working out...and something to do with filming a movie, too? He's just lucky enough to have some down time with his new female friends, what with all the physical fitness fun to be had.

That's one good thing about a string bikini--Matthew McConaughey may get older, but they stay the same way. To see more of MM just read more

While we really, honestly wish Lindsay the best in her attempts to get well, we couldn't help but notice her sly use of the word "Proactive" when describing her decision to enter rehab. Perhaps she was slipping in a plug for the similarly named acne solution for which she shills? Well, it got us thinking...could she be used as the spokesperson for her newest proactive venture as well?

Check out our video. It's meant to be all in good fun. Rest up and get well, Lindsay, we (and the paparazzi) miss you already.
