Lindsay Lohan’s new album will hit stores November 4. It’s called Spirit in the Dark, and the debut single, “Playground,” will be released to radio in September. Apparently that “Bossy” track was just “leaked” to generate buzz.

Dude, is it wrong that I’m really excited about this?

Hell, if it’s wrong, I don’t wanna be right! I swear if Lindsay actually tours to promote this album (unlikely) I’m buying freakin’ tickets and I’m going.

Naomi Campbell has been uninvited from appearing on stage at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday party — by Nelson Mandela himself!

The former South African leader is alleged to have made the decision after Campbell was sentenced to 200 hours community service and fined $4,500 (GBP2,250) after pleading guilty to assaulting two police officers on board a British Airways plane at London’s Heathrow Airport.

A source tells the Britain’s The Daily Mail, “The man himself intervened and she was pulled off the list. He was disappointed with her recent arrest… All plans were scrapped when pictures emerged of her being arrested, wearing the baseball cap with the Mandela number (46664) on it. She will be allowed to sit in the grandstand and watch the performances, but that is as far as it goes.

“The organisers felt that this type of negative publicity goes against everything Mandela stands for and didn’t want her arrest to be associated with the charity concert.”

Ouch!!!

You know Tyra Banks is laughing her ass off right now.

Um, have I mentioned lately how hard you guys totally rock my world?

I love you guys so much. Soooo much.

Your responses to the EGO Cup challenge are cracking me up. I’m actually compiling them all and planning to make a bar graph when it’s all over so you guys can see what each other said. So even if you don’t want to win the EGO Cup (even though it rocks), I’d encourage you to send me an email stating who you think the celeb with the biggest ego is and why, because I’m really just having way too much fun reading your answers and graphing the results.

The contest ends at noon PST on Thursday. And it looks like we may, once again, be able to get more than one EGO Cup to give away (you guys just have a way of charming PR reps), so get your responses in, kids!!!!

To enter, send me an email (evilbeet@gmail.com) filling in the following sentence:

The celebrity with the biggest ego is ___________ because _________________.

Ha ha. Christina Aguilera went on Larry King to promote her Rock the Vote PSA, and Larry’s all like, “You’re a softer singer, aren’t you?” And Christina kind of looks at him like, “You’re a fucking idiot, aren’t you?” and then proceeds to explain how she’s pretty much been known as a belter for the better part of a decade.

Jesus, Larry, I’d tell you to do your research, but really I think you just need to come out of your crypt more frequently. That’s like having Shaquille O’Neal on your show and being all like “You’re really more of an outside shooter, aren’t you?”

Ha ha!

I MADE A SPORTS JOKE!!!!!

DO I GET A RAISE????

Never mind all the anti-apartheid work and the Presidency of South Africa and the Nobel Peace Prize; you can tell that Nelson Mandela is important just by looking at the celebs who came all the way to London to celebrate his 90th birthday.

Attendees included: Uma Thurman and super-rich hottie boyfriend Arpad Busson, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker, Leona Lewis, Kelly Preston, Joan Baez, Kim Cattrall, Oprah Winfrey, Pierce Brosnan, Naomi Campbell and Robert DeNiro.

Damn.

And I also haven’t gotten like 18,000 press releases about how such-and-such is attending Nelson Mandela’s birthday party, so it’s almost as if these people have no ulterior motive for being there.

Happy birthday, President Mandela!
