Earlier today the happy expecting parents were seen taking Honey Child and Foxxy Cleopatra to the vet in LA. Then TMZ reports that Nicole has checked into jail to serve her DUI sentence of 4 days. She checked in to Lynwood Jail at 3:15 pm but she was already given credit for one day for the 6 hours she served when she was originally arrested. Word is the jail is so crowded that there is a chance she could be out by tomorrow. Sounds about right since this is the same place that let Paris go early. We hope her baby and those pups are all okay.
UPDATE -She's out of jail already. TMZ reports she spent 35 minutes in a cell but after a total of 82 minutes in Lynwood, Nicole Richie is a free woman.
It was back to work in NYC today for jet-setting Brad after spending time working on houses in New Orleans this week. Brad and Angelina do tons to give back and Global Green is obviously a project he is very passionate about. In the second segment of his interview with Ann Curry, Brad the visionary talked about how the new houses represent first steps toward a world without utility bills. He said:
“The idea that we pay utility bills is absolutely unnecessary. I mean, there's the sun. Feel the breeze that's been created here. And we got water right out there. Any one of these can be harnessed. And we can integrate ourselves into that ecosystem, and not only power our houses, but actually produce energy for other parts of the city.”
While Brad's ideas may be a long time away from becoming a reality, it's always encouraging to view firsthand how celebrities are taking small steps towards changing the future of our world. Is Brad inspiring you to help save the planet?
Lindsay Lohan, who earlier today was charged with 7 misdemeanor counts and no felonies (which most of you agree is a little light), will serve one day in jail. According to TMZ, she was credited for time spent when she was arrested and will serve 10 days of community service in lieu of two more days in jail. On top of that she will be on probation for 36 months and attend 18 months of alcohol eduction. By January 18, Lindsay must prove she has completed rehab. Lindsay, who has remained quiet during all of this and currently remains at rehab in Utah released the following statement:
It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs.
Recently, I relapsed and did things for which I am ashamed. I broke the law, and today I took responsibility by pleading guilty to the charges in my case. No matter what I said when I was under the influence on the day I was arrested, I am not blaming anyone else for my conduct other than myself. I thank God I did not injure others. I easily could have.
I very much want to be healthy and gain control of my life and career and have asked for medical help in doing so. I am taking these steps to improve my life. Luckily, I am not alone in my daily struggle and I know that people like me have succeeded. Maybe with time it will become easier. I hope so.
Pete and Ashlee looked giggly and smitten leaving Chinawhite nightclub in Soho, London last night. While I definitely wish that she would lose the hat, at least these two aren't at Nicole/Joel levels of matchiness. Pete is in town with Fall Out Boy for a series of shows, including this weekend's Leeds Festival and Ash, of course, is along for the ride. We all know she doesn't like to let her boy out of her sight for too long.
Rihanna was looking sassy in her LBD at the nominations launch for the MOBO awards in London last night. Despite her broken toe, the starlet is showing no signs of slowing down. She recently talked to Us Weekly about the VMAs, and being single. Here are highlights:
On what we can expect at the VMAs:
“I am performing my single 'Shut Up and Drive.' It’s my first time performing at the VMAs, so I am really excited! And I’m nominated for a lot of awards in some huge categories, so I feel great."
On whether she’s dating anyone:
“No, I’m single. I like being single because you can explore new things. At times, not having commitment is great."
We are definitely excited to check out Rihanna's performance on September 9th. Hopefully her toe will be healed up by then so she can (maybe) show off her dance moves with the likes of Britney and Madonna.
Rachel Zoe was photographed walking down Robertson, Starbucks in hand, looking ready for some serious shopping. She looked chic in her round sunglasses and Chanel bag, which she wore with of-the-moment thigh-high boots, a denim Current/Elliott biker jacket, and printed scarf.
