Lindsay Lohan: A Free Woman!
Look out, every nightclub in Los Angeles: Lindsay Lohan is a free woman.
Following 35 days under grueling, sprawling house arrest, the troubled actress had her ankle monitor removed at 10:20 a.m. local time today. At last check, she remained inside her Venice Beach, California condo, but was on her way to fulfill community service obligations at any moment.
"I spoke with her yesterday and she told me she is eager to return to fulfilling her community service obligation which she has been unable to perform during house arrest," Lindsay's rep tells E! News.
It was a difficult month-plus for Lohan, who was stuck inside her $2.25 million estate and forced to give interviews from the comfort of her living room sofa.
We have no doubt she's learned her lesson, scale back on her partying, resurrect her career and... darn. We almost got that out with a straight face.

Ashley Cole meets with Jay-Z for advice on 'music business career'
Ashley and Cole divorced Cheryl Cole in September 2010
Ashley Cole met up with Jay-Z in New York this week.
The Chelsea and England footballer, who's a big hip-hop fan, spent an hour in Jay-Z's Roc Nation headquarters to chat about a possible career in music after he retires from sport.�
'After spending years married to Cheryl Cole he knows a bit about the business,' a source tells The Sun.
'He's still got a good few years playing ahead of him but is looking ahead to what he'll do when he leaves the game.'
Ashley, 30, and Jay-Z first met at a concert in 2009 and the rap superstar is also a big fan of Cheryl's - he believes she can crack America.
'I know how hot Cheryl is in the UK,' Jay-Z, 41, told The Sun.
'The US market is the toughest one to break into...but I think Cheryl has that talent to do it.

Countess LuAnn Recruits Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon for 'Chic' Music Video
They don't always get along, but perhaps the ladies of The Real Housewives of New York City will sing along to Countess LuAnn de Lesseps's latest musical endeavor.
After all, they seem to be her inspiration.
"Gold, diamonds, caviar," de Lesseps, 46, sings in the music video for "Chic C'est La Vie," while she's joined by fellow Housewives Jill Zarin and Kelly Bensimon." "Life is but a dream when every day you're living in is featured on TV."
The ladies live it up at Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel, Casino and Spa, where they sip champagne, gamble, sip more champagne and sing about "money power and romance."
And the shout-outs to her ladies and their lifestyles get even more specific: "Attention Jill [Zarin], bring your jewelry," she continues. "Cindy [Barshop], bring those crystals. Ramona [Singer], bring that Pinot. Sonja [Morgan], her man. Kelly [Bensimon], the jelly beans. Alex [McCord] bring Simon [van Kempen], and I'll bring the diamonds."
De Lesseps made her music debut last summer with her song "Money Can't But You Class."

Which Peter Frampton songs are his faves?
By Marco R. della Cava, USA TODAY
Every fan of Peter Frampton's epic 1976 album Frampton Comes Alive! has a favorite song, whether it's talk-box-filled tune Do You Feel Like We Do or sunny singalong Show Me the Way.
So which songs does the man himself prefer?
"It's got to be Lines on My Face, Doobie Wah and I Wanna Go to the Sun," says Frampton, who is on tour performing the album in its entirety in the USA and in Europe through Nov. 23.
"Lines is just the favorite song I ever wrote," says Frampton. "And Doobie Wah I am playing for the first time in 35 years, and it is just so much fun."
But it's Sun that amounts to a musician's dream of stardom.
"I wrote it when I was 22 or 23," he says. "I was saying, 'I want to make it.'"
Once Comes Alive! came out, Frampton went from "two fans waiting backstage to people throwing themselves at the car like flies." But his greatest point of pride isn't the album that captured a nation's heart during the Bicentennial year.
"What means the most to me is the critical acclaim I got as a guitar player on Fingerprints," he says. "It was my first huge success that had nothing to do with Frampton Comes Alive!"

Jonathan Rhys Meyers hospitalised after suicide bid

Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalised on Tuesday (28.06.11) following a suspected suicide attempt at his London home.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalised after a suspected suicide attempt on Tuesday (28.06.11).
The 'Tudors' star - who has been in rehab five times for alcohol problems - refused treatment by paramedics for more than 30 minutes, meaning they were forced to call police and he was eventually taken away by ambulance to a facility near his home in Maida Vale, north London.
A source said: "This is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life."
Worried neighbours saw the 33-year-old actor - who was believed to have overdosed on unspecified pills - rushed to hospital.
This is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life.
One onlooker told The Sun newspaper: "I saw the ambulance arriving and was worried to death.
"Jonathan is a lovely guy. You see him all the time in the street. He says hello and is very pleasant. I hope he is fine."
The 'Velvet Goldmine' actor was discharged from hospital yesterday (29.06.11) but would only answer "no comment" when questioned on whether he had tried to commit suicide.
A police spokesperson confirmed they had been asked to attend the incident.
An official said: "Officers were called by London Ambulance Service following reports of a man refusing treatment. The man was taken to hospital."

Show them the money, and they try to cash a fraudulent check
An anonymous donor's recent gift to Los Angeles County has ended up proving the adage "No good deed goes unpunished."
The person sent a $10,000 check to the county last month for no reason other than wanting to help out the government during its economic crisis.
"In this time of economic difficulties, government needs all the help they can get," read the handwritten note accompanying the gift.
"Please put this anonymous check to good use," it added. "God bless you."
But a county gaffe exposed some financial information about the check on the Internet and apparently led to at least one failed attempt to fraudulently access bank funds.
When county Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky's office blogged about the rare and generous gift, it posted a photo of the actual cashier's check - including the routing number.
The website story, headlined "The patron saint of ... government?" went viral.
Within days, someone in Washington, D.C., apparently tried to run a counterfeit check scam using the same information from the donor's check.
"Unfortunately, we got one complaint from the East Coast about someone having tried to present them with a fake version of this check," said David Sommers, the county's public information officer.
He said the county immediately
took steps to block the scam, including contacting federal investigators and asking Internet search engines to remove all photos of the check online.Image of check still online
"The county tried to make sure that there were no instances of anyone trying to do a scam that took advantage of the good nature of this person," Sommers said. "Basically, we didn't want to overreact to something even after we found out that it appeared to be a single isolated instance."
Not all websites, however, have removed the check image. A quick Google search Wednesday revealed at least two websites that continue to post images of the check.
Yaroslavsky's spokesman, Joel Bellman, said the supervisor's office never anticipated its blog entry would be misused.
"Obviously, it hadn't occurred to anybody that this would be a problem," he said. "It was one of those unanticipated problems where, you know, a larcenous-minded opportunist jumped in and tried to take advantage of an innocent situation but apparently was thwarted."
Funds are being protected
There appears to have been no other attempts to commit fraud using the check - at least so far.
Both Sommers and Bellman emphasized that while there may be copies of the check still available in cyberspace, bank authorities have taken precautions to protect the funds.
The cashier's check was purchased at Banner Bank in Bellingham, Wash., on May 2. It was mailed to the county Auditor-Controller's Office and the bank declined to identify the donor to county officials.
Auditor-Controller Wendy Watanabe said while the county receives financial donations, they are usually designated for specific county programs, not for the general fund.
"We were elated that there would be such a good person out there," Watanabe said on Yaroslavsky's website. "Most of the time we get attacked for overspending. For someone to actually donate to the government, it's just unheard of."
"Why this person picked L.A. County, we have not a clue," she added. "Maybe they've sent $10,000 to every government agency out there."

Ryan Reynolds or Jake Gyllenhaal: Whom Should Olivia Wilde Date?
From left: Leslie Mann, Ryan Reynolds and Olivia Wilde on June 6

Just months after news broke that Olivia Wilde had split from her husband, Italian prince Tao Ruspoli, the House, M.D. actress, 27, seems to be embracing that status ? and hanging with the hottest guys in Hollywood.
Tuesday night, Wilde was spotted getting cozy with PEOPLE's reigning Sexiest Man Alive, Ryan Reynolds, 34, in the back corner of West Hollywood's The Troubadour.
Jeff Bridges provided the soundtrack ? the True Grit actor performed a bluesy set of tunes for the crowd at the club ? as Wilde laughed along with the funnyman.
The two, who also hung out together in L.A. at a party on June 6 celebrating Reynolds's Details cover, left the club separately.
Days before, Wilde got "touchy-feely" with Jake Gyllenhaal, 30, at Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, where the two chatted and acted flirty. (The actress' rep told PEOPLE the two are just friends.)
Also keeping close company: Bradley Cooper, 36, whom she chatted up following a New York screening of The Hangover Part II in May.
A month prior, she stepped out multiple times with In Time costar Justin Timberlake, 30. As romance rumors swirled, the actress told fans via Twitter to "cool it."
So, whether or not she's friends or more than friendly with these Hollywood hunks, tell us:

Ohio Heartbeat Bill Seeking To Impose Abortion Restrictions Advances
COLUMBUS (Reuters) - The Ohio House of Representatives on Tuesday voted to ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detectable, which can be as early as six weeks.
The House voted 54 to 43 for the ban, along party lines, with most Republicans voting in favor.
If enacted, the law would be a challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling which upheld a woman's right to an abortion until the fetus is viable outside the womb, usually at 22-24 weeks.
Republican Ohio House Speaker William Batchelder said he knows this bill will face a court challenge.
"We're writing bills for courts," he said.
The bill now goes to the Republican-dominated Ohio Senate.
The Ohio House also passed two other abortion restrictions Tuesday, one that would ban late-term abortions after 20 weeks if a doctor determines that the fetus is viable outside the womb. Another bill excludes abortion coverage from the state insurance exchange created by the federal health care law.
The late-term ban already was passed by the Ohio Senate.
Neither bill was as contentious as the heartbeat legislation, which does not contain exceptions for rape, incest or the life or health of the mother.
Republican Representative Danny Bubp said the bill is the will of the voters. He noted that Republicans, who tend to favor anti-abortion laws, became the majority in the state house last November.
"We have to reflect on what Ohio did on November 2nd of last year," said Bubp. "And that is they voted. And they voted for change. Today, we have three pro-life bills on the floor and I'm happy about that."
Democrats in the Ohio House said the heartbeat bill goes too far.
"This bill gives the government the ultimate power, the ultimate power to intrude upon the most personal and intimate decisions of our lives, of women's lives, frankly," said Rep. Connie Pillich.
Ohio Right to Life also has expressed concerns about the heartbeat bill. The organization said the bill is unconstitutional and believes it is not wise to spend hundreds of thousands of taxpayer's dollars defending it.

Historian: Kate Middleton, Jane Austen Are Related
According to Ancestry.com (via PEOPLE), Middleton and Austen ((b. 1775) are eleventh cousins, six times removed. The pair are connected through Henry Percy (b. 1392), who was the second Earl of Northumberland.
So basically Middleton and the 'Emma' writer are really, really, really distant relatives. But, as Brits know all too well, a bloodline is a bloodline.
"Finding this connection between the Duchess of Cambridge and Jane Austen is very exciting since, in many ways, Catherine is the modern Jane Austen heroine: a middle-class girl marrying the future King of England," lead Ancestry.com historian Anastasia Harman said.
In case you forgot, Middleton was just a commoner before she married her own Prince Charming back in April.
"Jane Austen may have written about happily-ever-after, but it seems Catherine has found a nonfiction hero to spend her life with -- far past the epilogue," Harman said.
And to bring everything full circle, the news of Middleton and Austen's family ties comes on the 200th anniversary of Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility.' Poetic, no?
However, the romantic writer isn't Middleton's only acclaimed relative. Back in February, TV host Ellen DeGeneres received news that she, too, is related to the new Duchess of Cambridge.
"You are distant cousins ... but cousins still the same," a letter from the New England Genealogical Society told DeGeneres, claiming the future royal and talk show host are 15th cousins, related by a man named Sir Thomas Fairfax and his wife, Agnes Gascoigne.
But, even though they're cousins, DeGeneres was unfortunately left off the wedding guest list.

Glenn Beck Says Family was Harassed in NYC, Preaches to "Hateful People"
Glenn Beck and his family attended a screening of Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps in Bryant Park on Monday night, but the host explained on his radio show today that he was greeted with anything but a warm welcome.
"It was a hostile situation," he said, detailing how wife Tanya had wine "intentionally kicked on her back" and how a man pointed at Tanya and Beck's daughter and screamed: "We hate conservatives here!"
No one told the trouble makers to knock it off, Beck continued.
"I apologize to anybody who had their movie experience wrecked because of the people that found it so necessary to spew hatred," he went on. "But there's nothing I can do about it."
Beck described the harassers as "arrogant 25-year olds" and said they were the "most hateful people I've ever seen." But there's a hope for these lost souls... if only they realize it soon.
"All I could think of about the people around me all night was I feel sorry for you. I really feel sorry for you... you are so lost... and so convinced that you are absolutely 100% right, and you are helping build a system that is fueled by hate. You're being used and you don't even know it. And by the time you wake-up, it may be too late for you to get out... My family and I will accept you with open arms."
Glenn Beck as a preacher? The guy does claim to know God's agenda.

During the course of filming, Pattinson has made himself a fan in co-star Juliette Binoche, who called the 25-year-old charming.
She said, ?I had no idea who he was, I have never followed his career or seen Twilight."
Miss Binoche added, ?He?s really funny, just like a kid. He charmed me.?

TOWIE's Lauren Goodger: I've lost respect for Mark Wright - the wedding's on hold
Lauren Goodger and Mark Wright have a turbulent relationship
The Only Way Is Essex's Lauren Goodger and fianc� Mark Wright may have just flown to Las Vegas together on holiday, but they won't be visiting a little white chapel to tie the knot.
The couple's relationship has been under strain since rumours surfaced that Mark's been playing around.
'I've lost respect for him,' says Lauren, 24. 'He's on thin ice.
'He needs to buck his ideas up or he's gonna lose me.'
Notorious ladies' man Mark, 24, was snapped naked on his Spanish hotel balcony after a visit from ex-girlfriend Lucy Mecklenburgh last month and got very cosy with Hollyoaks star Jorgie Porter while clubbing in Liverpool.
Mark insists he hasn't been unfaithful and still wants to marry Lauren - but she's having doubts.
'The wedding's on hold,' she declares. 'I'm not ready.'

Is 'Idol' Thinking About Life Without Jennifer Lopez?
Jennifer, who currently earns a reported $12 million for her one-year deal with 'Idol' -- a touch below the $35 mil Simon earned -- needs to ask herself how much her contribution to the show is really worth.
"'Idol' has resurrected her much-stalled music career," one music exec tells me, referring to 'On the Floor,' the singer's first radio hit in a while. "Likewise, 'Idol' didn't fall apart when Simon left and Jennifer has to get some of the credit for that. But let's also remember the show didn't increase in ratings and that is also thanks to J.Lo."
Jennifer told the BBC: "I loved 'Idol,' but I have a lot of other things happening, and it's going to come down to me making a choice of what I want to do for the next year ... We're not really at the breaking point of 'You have to make a decision right now!'"
Be careful, Jennifer, I'm being told the names Shania Twain and Shakira are already being mentioned in hopes of bringing in viewers!

Brazil's First Gay Marriage Approved By Sao Paulo Judge
SAO PAULO (AP) ? A Brazilian state judge on Monday approved what the court said is the nation's first gay marriage.
Sao Paulo state Judge Fernando Henrique Pinto ruled two men could convert their civil union into a full marriage. Brazil's Supreme Court cleared the way in May for the recognition of same-sex civil unions, but stopped short of approving gay marriages.
A court statement said Pinto made the decision based on the top court's ruling on civil unions and on Brazil's constitution, which outlines how a civil union can be converted into a legal marriage.
Benjamin Polastri, a spokesman with the Sao Paulo state Attorney General's Office, said it was not immediately clear if the ruling set a strong national precedent. Polastri also said the just-approved gay marriage was the first for South America's biggest nation.
Jose Luiz Bednarski, a lawyer for the Sao Paulo state attorney general, said in an opinion presented to Pinto that the marriage was legal.
"The federal constitution establishes as a fundamental objective of the Federal Republic of Brazil to promote the good of everyone without bias of gender or any other form of discrimination," Bednarski wrote. "This certainly includes the choice or sexual orientation of a person."
In the Brazilian legal system, judges often seek the opinion of a state or federal attorney general about a case.
After-hours calls were not answered at the National Conference of Brazilian Bishops, whose lawyers took the lead in arguing against the Supreme Court's civil union case.
While the court released only the initials of the couple that was married, the Globo television network's G1 website identified the men as Sergio Kauffman Sousa and Luiz Andre Moresi. They asked a state court in the city of Jacarei, 53 miles (85 kilometers) northeast of Sao Paulo, to approve their marriage.
"It's an immense joy. I'm still trying to comprehend this historic moment," Moresi told G1. "We've fought for so many years and now that it's happened we're in ecstasy. I dedicate this victory to all the activists."
Luiz Mott, founder of Grupo Gay da Bahia, the oldest gay rights organization in Brazil, called the marriage a huge step for LGBT rights in the country.
"Now any couple can ask for the same thing. It's a great advance," he said.
In Latin America, gay marriage is legal only in Argentina and Mexico City.
Same-sex civil unions granting some rights to homosexual couples are legal in Uruguay and in some states of Mexico outside the capital. Colombia's Constitutional Court has granted same-sex couples inheritance rights and allowed them to add their partners to health insurance plans.
Moresi said that he knew the Sao Paulo state court's ruling could be reversed by a higher court, but that "we'll take the case to the Supreme Court if needed."
Sousa told G1 that he and Moresi had been together for eight years and filed for civil union designation in May, less than two weeks after the Supreme Court ruling allowed them to do so. On June 6, they asked the state court to recognize their civil union as a marriage.
Pinto cited the Brazilian Constitution's section on civil unions, literally referred to as "stable unions," saying a couple "living together can, by mutual agreement and at any time, request the conversion of a stable union into a marriage."
Monday's decision, along with the May ruling by the Supreme Court on civil unions, comes at a time of increasing violence targeting gays in Brazil.
Grupo Gay da Bahia, which has tracked violence against gays for 30 years, said in a report earlier this year that 260 gays were murdered in 2010 in Brazil, up 113 percent from five years ago.

Miley Cyrus Dons Revealing Clothing, Covers Classics in Australia
Thank you, Miley Cyrus. It's been far too long since we mocked your fashion choices.
The singer took her international Gypsy Heart Tour to Brisbane, Australia late last week, entertaining screaming fans with tracks from "Can't Be Tamed" and also covering a couple classics.
There's a problem, though, when you deliver a version of the iconic ballad "Landslide" in an outfit that might make some porn stars blush. It's a bit distracting and off-message.
Watch Miley belt out that single, followed by Nirvan's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," below.

Listen Up: Big Sean, Dolly Parton, more
By Brian Mansfield, Steve Jones, Elysa Gardner and Edna Gundersen, USA TODAY
Notable releases this week include folk singer Gillian Welch's first album in eight years, Big Sean's big break into the mainstream, Dolly Parton's clich�d but irresistably optimistic new effort, and Taking Back Sunday's return after breaking up in 2003.
Gillian Welch, The Harrow & the Harvest
* * * � (out of four) FOLK
Things don't always go the way you plan them: That's certainly the case for Gillian Welch, who had no intention of waiting eight years to put out a new album. Expectations get dashed throughout this album, more in the lives of its characters than in Welch's collaborations with guitarist David Rawlings, which draw on rural imagery of the past to create stark, lovely songs. It may have taken longer than planned, but The Harrow & the Harvest sounds just the way it should. ? Brian Mansfield

Big Sean, Finally Famous
* * * RAP
The Detroit rapper finally gets some mainstream shine after years of mixtapes and postponed release dates. The Kanye West prot�g�'s charisma, clever punchlines and smooth, soulful flow make this radio-friendly set worth the wait. Mostly, he rhymes about the success he's had so far, the bumps in the road he's experienced and enjoying the fruits of his labor. Celebratory first single My Last, featuring Chris Brown, gets him off to a strong start. A strong roster of well-selected guests ? West, Lupe Fiasco, John Legend and Wiz Khalifa among them ? coupled with No I.D.'s melodic beats, should help make Sean even more famous. ? Steve Jones

Dolly Parton, Better Day
* * * COUNTRY
You can take the girl out of the cabin, but you can't quash her rustic, no-nonsense spirit. So Parton insists, repeatedly and on occasion in very literal terms, on her latest album, a collection of positive-minded, good-humored odes to love, faith and endurance. Sure, there are clich�s here; but this age-defying country girl, with her resilient soprano and infectious pluck, seems incapable of a truly false note. ? Elysa Gardner
>Download:Somebody's Missing You, Shine Like the Sun
Taking Back Sunday, Taking Back Sunday
* * EMO
The Long Island band that bitterly split in 2003 has reunited with the lineup from 2002 debut Tell All Your Friends and, unfortunately, a lot of the same throat-strafing juvenile melodrama. What worked then feels strained now. Desperate to recapture bygone youthful glory, the band screams and flails through a hollow pageant of teen-angst punk tantrums. OK, some throwbacks (Best Places to Be a Mom, This Is All Now) are too good to throw back. ? Edna Gundersen

Mexican Singer Paulina Rubio Arrested After Car Crash in Miami
Paulina Rubio fought the law this weekend in Miami...and the law won.
After crashing her BMW into another car Saturday, the Mexican pop singer was arrested near Miami's Little Havana.
It wasn't the smashup itself that landed the Latin sensation in handcuffs, however, but a clash with cops after the accident.
So what did Rubio do to provoke the police?and how did her 6-month-old baby save her a trip to the slammer?
MORE: Another zany arrest that just went down
According to the arrest report, Rubio was asked to get out of her car but refused, cursing at one officer on the scene and telling police, "All of you Miami cops are abusive."
The report goes on to say that after Rubio refused the officer's requests, she began to "frantically" make phone calls, in a "very agitated" state, and told the cop, "I'm not getting out of the car!"
Rubio was still behind the wheel when she became more aggressive and frantic, according to the report, with the cop expressing concern for everyone's safety.
She began yelling: "What the f--k do you want me to do? I just had an accident and I'm very nervous. That's why people don't like you because all you Miami cops are abusive."
Rubio�continued to yell and scream as a crowd gathered around�her and she�refused to step out of harm's way and onto the sidewalk.
Once she was handcuffed and being placed into a patrol car, Rubio began yelling to onlookers "Help! Help! I didn't do anything! Look what they're doing! Help! Abusers! You bunch of liars! Help!"
She also informed police they'd "regret" their actions and said she was calling her attorney.
Rubio was charged with refusing to obey a lawful command and eventually calmed down and apologized.
She was not taken into custody due to an "extenuating circumstance": she needed to breastfeed her baby.
Rubio was ordered to appear in court on charges of disorderly conduct, obstruction of justice and refusal to obey a lawful command.
