Dina Lohan has asked Dr Phil for another interview to prove she is not a bad mother. Lindsay plans to sue Jose Rodriguez for saying she was drunk when she hit him last week.
- Matthew Broderick is going to guest star on Modern Family as Phil's neurotic friend.
- Time Magazine claims the McRib contains azodicarbonamide, “a flour-bleaching agent that is most commonly used in the manufacture of foamed plastics like in gym mats and the soles of shoes, is found in the McRib bun.”

3. "Trouble with the Curve," $12.7 million.

How Bout Them Apples: Most Apple retailers sold out of the iPhone 5 by 9 am on Friday. Police expect a rise in phone thefts due to the release. Russians are paying $3,700 for smuggled iPhones. businessinsider.com claims the Chinese workers, who assemble the iPhones make $2 per hour.
Driver's Ed: Goodyear is offering free driving lessons to Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes. They said, "We're sorry to hear about your latest driving mishap. We understand that you've struggled behind the wheel before and that driving can be a real challenge... We're concerned for your safety and the safety of those who hit the road each day, and we'd like to help out any way we can."
Heidi Agan quit her job as a $12-an-hour burger waitress to work as a Kate Middleton look-a-like. She now earns $1,200 an hour and says, ''People would come in and point at me and say “that’s her''. I’ve had other people come up to me during jobs convinced I’m Kate. When my daughter sees her in a magazine she points and says “there you are mummy’”. I felt really bad for Kate when the topless photos were published as she was on a private trip with her husband. If someone had done that to me I would go to the police. It's a huge difference from working in a restaurant and it pays better. I haven’t been asked to go topless on any of the jobs yet - and I certainly wouldn’t do it because I’m a mum-of-two!''
Changeling: London mother-of-three Christina Staggs lost 154 pounds in 15 months because she wanted to look like Angelina Jolie. She says she dropped the weight by dieting, walking her dog and swimming. ''I must admit I never really saw the resemblance myself when I was bigger but one day I was chatting to a woman who said I looked like Angelina Jolie. She said we had the same lips which was quite a compliment because Angelina is famous for her big sexy pout. I thought I looked more Angelina Jelly than Jolie but the comment stuck with me and I had always tried, and failed, to lose weight but I suddenly thought I had a goal to aim for. I'd go to the supermarket and I'd get a couple of packs of brownies, a family size dairy milk bar, a family bar of white chocolate and I'd get some desserts. I'd eat all that in one day. I'd eat loads. Now I've lost all the weight people say I am the spitting image of Angelina which I'm quite chuffed about and my boyfriend doesn't complain either.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy is leaving “Dancing With The Stars” at the end of next year. He says, “What else do I have to do there after 15 seasons? It makes total sense. The audience can’t expect for me to want to stick around, and the producers can’t expect for me to want to stick around. I loved doing it. But to be honest with you, at 32, I am at what-about-me time.’ I am not thinking that with me leaving, the show will go off the air or anything. Like my dad said, ‘There are no irreplacable people.’ I wish them the next 50 years of success. But I have to do something else. I need to move on for me.“ Maks plans to play a Latin dancer in a new romantic comedy.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have been going out in disguise. A source tells the Sun Times, “They are amazing. They can disguise themselves so well that even their own parents wouldn’t recognize them. They have a series of secret hook-up locales in out-of-the-way L.A. and other Southern California neighborhoods — places where no paparazzo would even think of going.''
She won him back by wearing jewelry. A source tells Hollywoodlife.com, “At the Toronto International Film Festival, K-Stew wore the $40,000 locket Rob gave her. It has photos of them inside and a Latin transcription that, translated, reads: ‘Even if you can’t see me, my love for you is always there.’”
A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Rob told Kristen the only way he can forgive her affair is if she truly commits to him. Rob has been keen to marry Kristen for quite a while and he doesn’t want to get back with her unless he knows she means it for life too. Although Kristen broke Rob’s heart he has realized he can’t live without her. He never stopped loving her and he believes she still loves him. He is desperate to make it work and wants to give her another chance but not unless she proves she really wants it too. They have both talked openly about marriage before and she’s been telling him for years that she doesn’t want to rush into anything. But Kristen will do anything to get back with Rob now and one of the conditions is to discuss getting married and the future. Rob is very romantic and traditional.”
Katie Holmes is attending Boot Camp classes. A source tells Perez Hilton, "Katie has been going to Barry’s Boot Camp in New York City and she’s working really hard. She looked great, well rested and seemed happy. She was dressed down and looked casual and comfy. Her hair was wavy and natural. During class, Katie was holding her own on the treadmill and was a fast sprinter! She was super friendly with the other girls next to her. One mentioned how she is the coolest, most down-to-earth celebrity she has ever met."
John Travolta still loves Kelly Preston. He says, "I don't believe in regrets. I believe your future's in your tomorrows, but I do believe you learn from the past. It's been a good life. It's been filled with ups and downs, and fascinating adventures. As long as it's the right wife and the right family, I think it's marvelous. I have the right one, and I'm very happy for it. I know we're kind of dinosaurs in Hollywood, being together so long. But it works."
JWoww is engaged. A source tells RADAR Online, "It happened the middle of last week during filming for season two of Snooki & JWOWW. JWOWW and Roger went skydiving and jumped out of a plane together. After landing safely, Roger shocked her by getting down on one knee and proposing. Of course, she said yes! The crew took great pains to make sure they weren’t followed by photographers and the footage is being kept tightly under wraps. Everyone will have to wait until Season 2 to see it.”
Charlize Theron and Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet are dating. A source says, “Charlize and Eric get along incredibly well. They started off as friends but things are blossoming between them. Eric is down to earth and funny and Charlize thinks the world of him. It’s early days but they’re very fond of each other.”
Eric says, "I wish people would stop spreading rumors that Charlize Theron and I are dating. Its starting to make Halle Berry jealous."
LMFAO has broken up. Redfoo says, “I feel like we’ve been doing this for so long, five or six years. And we’re kind of like saying, well, let’s just do what’s natural and just kind of explore that, instead of like forcing it all the time. I think that we naturally just started hanging with two different sets of people, two different crowds, but we’re always family. He’ll always be my nephew, I’ll always be his uncle.”
Demi Lovato has always been self-conscious. She says, ''I remember being three years old in a diaper and rubbing my hand over my stomach ... and I remember thinking in my head, 'I wonder if one day this will ever be flat?'''
Bullies teased Demi Lovato about her appearance. She says, ''It played more of a toll on me than if I was physically abused in school. I've always said I wished that they had just hit me in the face and gotten it over with because what they said to me sticks to me to this day and it affected me, (turned) me into the person I am today. I was bullied and they called me fat and they called me horrible things.''
Rihanna was spotted at a Vegas gun range before the iHeartRadio Music Fest on Friday
Justin Bieber will perform 'As Long As You Love Me' on Dancing With the Stars tonight
Christina Aguilera is going to miss Adam Levine when he leaves The Voice. She says, "When me and Adam are on breaks backstage, you know, we're writing profanity with my red lipstick all over Blake's trailer while he's napping inside. It's like we have definitely become like brother and sister. We goof around and play around. I'm going to miss it."
Lady GaGa reportedly sold 6 million bottles of her new fragrance 'Fame' in one week
Taylor Swift loves to bake in the Fall. She says, “Fall is when you start baking cinnamon-type things and pumpkin-type things. There’s gonna be pumpkin bread that I’m gonna make a lot of and give it to people. There’s something really calming and soothing to me about having everything measured out and stirring it and pre-heating the oven and getting it all working out.”
Miley Cyrus has purchased a $200,000 McLaren sports car
Steven Tyler says JLo made him blush on American Idol. "Sitting next to J.Lo, the stuff we spoke about during commercial breaks, which you guys will never know - it made me blush. She was very something else. She would just make me blush then it would be, '3-2-1' [composes himself]. She would just put me in my place. I loved her".
Emmy Awards:The 2012 Emmy Awards are over, and "Modern Family" and "Homeland" pretty much swept the categories they were nominated in. Some highlights, lowlights and interesting moments from last night's Emmy Awards:
--That was LENA DUNHAM butt-nekkid, eating a birthday cake in a stall in the opening scene in the women's bathroom, while host JIMMY KIMMEL sat in another one, complaining about his botched botox treatment.
--While presenting an award, SETH MacFARLANE talked for about 10 seconds without realizing there was no microphone in front of him.
--JOHN STEWART dropped the "F-bomb" during his acceptance speech. Censors were able to bleep it out, but no wonder the show is still on a delay.
--CLAIRE DANES gave a unique shout-out to her "Homeland" co-star, saying "MANDY PATINKIN, holla!"
--On her way to accept the Best Comedy Actress, JULIA LOUIS DREYFUS got a hug from AMY POEHLER, but mangled the first words of her acceptance speech... only to find Amy had ripped part of the paper. Amy ran up to the stage to hand it to her.

--TRACY MORGAN's bit. JIMMY KIMMEL called him up on stage, then told him to lie down and pretend he was passed out for the next ten minutes and asked people to tweet, "OMG Tracy Morgan passed out on stage, turn on ABC now!"
