Lindsay Lohan is making plans for life after rehab. The 21-year-old actress reportedly checked out of Cirque Lodge, a drug- and alcohol-treatment center in Utah, on Friday. She had entered treatment in August after reaching a plea deal on misdemeanor drunken driving and cocaine charges following two arrests.
“It was a sobering experience,” Lohan says in an interview with OK! magazine. Lohan plans to stay in Utah to film “Dare to Love Me.”
Two “Idols” up for AMA awards
Beyoncé Knowles, Justin Timberlake, Linkin Park and “American Idol” contestant Chris Daughtry’s band Daughtry each nabbed three nominations Tuesday for the American Music Awards.
Akon, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Young Jeezy, T.I. and “Idol” winner Carrie Underwood captured two nominations each.
Jimmy Kimmel will host the 35th annual American Music Awards, to be broadcast Nov. 18 by ABC from the new L.A. Live entertainment complex next to the Staples Center downtown. Nominees were initially chosen based on record sales. Ballots were then sent to a national sampling of 15,000 people and the top three vote-getters in each category became nominees.
For the first time, members of the public will be able to vote for nominated artists online. Winners were previously selected by a national survey of some 20,000 people.
It’s a baby girl for Nick Nolte and his longtime partner, Clytie Lane.
The baby, who hasn’t been named yet, was born Oct. 3 in Los Angeles. She weighed 7 pounds, 13 ounces, the actor’s spokesman, Paul Bloch, said Tuesday in a statement. Mother and daughter were doing well, he said.
Nolte, 66, has a son, Brawley, from a previous marriage. The baby is Lane’s first child.
Yoko Ono urged the world to give peace a chance with the unveiling Tuesday of the Imagine Peace Tower on Iceland’s Videy Island on what would have been husband John Lennon’s 67th birthday. The former Beatle was shot dead outside their New York apartment building Dec. 8, 1980.
The tower is a stories-tall beam of light that will radiate from a wishing well, bearing the words “imagine peace” in 24 languages.
The plan is for the tower to be lit each year between Oct. 9 and Dec. 8.
