This interview hasn’t even aired yet on the west coast!

Dina Lohan made an appearance on “The Today Show” this morning, maintaining that it’s pretty much the judge’s fault and that she’s a good mother and (naturally) defending her daughter.

On July 4th, George Michael was driving home from the Gay Pride Parade in London when he was arrested after driving his car into the front of a shop. Today, he’s been charged with drug possession and driving “while unfit”, either due to drugs or alcohol.

Contact Music reports:

George Michael must appear in court later this month to answer drug possession charges.

The ‘Faith’ singer was charged today with drug possession and driving while unfit through drink or drugs, stemming from an incident in the early hours of July 4 when he drove his car into the front of a London shop.

The 47-year-old star – whose real name is Georgios Panayiotou – was freed on bail to appear at Highbury Corner Magistrates Court later this month.

I hope he gets his stuff together already. He needs to straighten up and fly right!

Fantasia Barrino has certainly been through enough. After reportedly breaking up a marriage, she was said to have attempted suicide. Her lawyer said that the pressure from a supposed homewrecker lawsuit was getting to the American Idol star.

People magazine reports:

Barrino’s manager later confirmed she and Antwaun Cook had been dating “off and on for 11 months” but she believed he was separated from his wife and is now “heartbroken and is sorry for any pain she may have caused.”

Morris says Barrino has been named as a witness in the Cooks’s domestic case, in connection with the wife’s claim for spousal support, but “has not yet been sued for alienation of affection or criminal conversation.” North Carolina is one of seven states that allows a party to take legal action against a “home wrecker.”

“The people who think these claims protect marriages and families have never sat through a trial,” says Morris. “They make hurt people more hurt.”

“For the sake of everybody involved,” adds Morris, “I hope [Fantasia] is not sued because she did not break up the Cooks’ marriage.”

I just hope that Fantasia is alright and I’m glad that it wasn’t as serious as it could’ve been. I sincerely hope that she can work out her issues with Paula Cook and there is no trial.

Is anyone buying this Scott Disick/Kourtney Kardashian drama?

In a recent video snippet, Scott talks about how he thinks that Kourtney is perfect, but says that she can’t understand that he’s an alcoholic.

He said, “[Kourtney] doesn’t really always 100% understand that it’s a real disease that I have, and it’s not just something that I can turn off and on. But now that I have a little baby, I don’t really want to play any of these games. I just want to be with her and see my son grow.”

What do you think? Is Scott still a d-bag? Or is he struggling? Thoughts?

Alanis Morissette and her new hubby MC Souleye make their getaway at a local resort!

I wonder what they’re going to name it! Any guesses?

Katy Perry’s husband-to-be, Russell Brand has been flirting with her mother – nonstop, via email!

It’s getting so gross and uncomfortable that she has asked Rusty to cut it out!

Us Magazine has more:

“He’s very charming with them and he has an ongoing on email love with my mom and she loves it,” Perry laughs. “She flirts with him, which is totally inappropriate and I tell him to stop.”

Someone needs to tell Russell that this is not normal behavior unless he’s trying to date Katy’s mother instead of her. That just sounds creepy to me, what do you think?

If you’ve ever watched Jersey Shore and saw Michael Sorrentino’s glorious abs and wondered how you could possibly get a body like that…well, The Situation has you covered.

Mike is now pimping out his own workout video, after he and his brother worked on it for what seemed like forever.

Radar Online reports:

“He’s got what people consider a great body, hence his name ‘The Situation’, so we decided what better way for people to get their own situation,” said Mike’s big brother Marc Sorrentino, who is the Chief Executive of his company.

“We came up with the idea of shooting the video after the first season of Jersey Shore in February and it’s been a company goal since,” said Marc.

The Sorrentino brothers worked with their close friend and trainer Jon ‘The Unit’ Manfe and ICM Talent to put together a workout that anyone can do.

“This video will give the secrets behind Mike’s muscles and it will help people achieve the body they want. The workout can be done anywhere with a couple of 25-pound dumb bells for men or 10-pounders for women,” Marc added.

Will you buy it? Perhaps rent it? And more importantly, will there be fist pumping? How about tanning? These are just some of the questions that need answering!
