Cirque Lodge Aerial Photo, Lindsay Lohan, Rehab

The consensus these days seems to be that Lindsay’s at the Cirque Lodge in Sundance, Utah. It’s a high-end rehab facility popular with celebs and the very rich. It only accommodates 16 patients at a time, so you better believe Lindsay skipped to the top of a long waiting list. According to Radar, the rehab comes complete with its own helicopter, and is nestled in the beautiful Rockies. But Radar also notes that, when it comes to drugs, nearby Park City may not be so different from LA:

While the facility may be in a secluded notch in the Utah mountains, far away from L.A. coke dealers, blow is readily available. Nearby Park City, since the 1970s, has had the reputation as a town that loves its snow—winter and summer varietals. Suffice it to say, if Lohan got the itch, scoring wouldn’t be hard. Or as one town resident puts it: “She could have delivery at her door in less than 30 minutes, like Domino’s.”

We’ll see if the third time’s the charm for Miss Lohan.

The MTV Video Music Awards are fast approaching, and the nominees have been released.

The best group category proves once again how tragically out-of-touch with the under-24 culture I am becoming. I guess I recognize most of these names, but, with the exception of Fall Out Boy, I can’t name a single one of their songs. I just want to curl up in my room and listen to August and Everything After. Is that so wrong? Is it? Anyway, the nominees are:

Fall Out Boy
Gym Class Heroes
Linkin Park
Maroon 5
The White Stripes

The best new artist category confuses me, because most of these people aren’t new artists. I mean, Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 1994, right? Amy Winehouse had an album go platinum in the U.K. in 2003. How exactly are we defining “new” in this context? And can someone please tell me what song Gym Class Heroes and Peter Bjorn & John gets played on the radio? I even Googled them and I couldn’t figure it out.

Lily Allen
Gym Class Heroes
Peter Bjorn & John
Carrie Underwood
Amy Winehouse

The best female artist nominees don’t matter, because Rihanna’s going to win and Beyonce’s going to be sooo pissed about it.

Beyonce
Fergie
Nelly Furtado
Rihanna
Amy Winehouse

And I don’t know any of the songs by anyone in the best male artist category, either, except for JT. Oh, Akon does “Smack That,” which, if I recall correctly, was already awarded Song of the Year by Ms. magazine, so I don’t know that it really needs this accolade as well. Let someone else have a chance. The noms:

Akon
Robin Thicke
T.I.
Justin Timberlake
Kanye West

The VMAs will air on September 9th on MTV.

Gwen Stefani Still Breast-Feeding Her Son Kingston

In a recent interview, the singer/designer admitted that she still breastfeeds her son, Kingston, who was born in May 2006. “I don’t know when I’m going to stop breast-feeding,” she says. “I’ll just keep going while I can – like, he’s getting his teeth, so it is a little bit scary. He’s bitten me a few times.”

I don’t know anything about raising kids, but aren’t you supposed to stop breast-feeding after a year or so? Especially when the kid’s biting your tits? I wonder how Gavin feels about all this. It’s supposed to be his job to bite her nipples.

As we just ran a Backstreet Boys post I’m morally obligated to throw in a video of a song I heard (and liked) yesterday. I think this fellow, Jaime T, is big among our European audiences but us Yanks haven’t discovered him yet… unless I’m more out of touch than I thought.

Anywhoo, here’s Jaime T with “Stella”

Fergie and the rest of the Black Eyed Peas crew arrived in Japan today for a show out there. Normally I think she looks just awful, but she’s almost — almost — bordering on pretty here. Not, like, deserving-of-Josh-Duhamel pretty, but she at least looks presentable.
