Lindsay Lohan is going to need a good post-rehab project to both keep her clean and get her some decent press, and she may have found just the right thing. RadarOnline reported today that Lindsay is in talks with ABC about appearing on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. The producers have been after Lindsay for several seasons now, and with her movie career at a total standstill, the timing is as good as ever. And apparently her handlers over at Betty Ford are into the idea, too.

Yo, this would be the smartest move for Lindsay ever. Let’s face it: Straight-to-DVD flicks and overly sexual roles haven’t done much to boost her popularity over the last couple of years, so a good clean dancing competition could be just the right thing for her. I’d put my money on her to win, even.

Would you watch Lindsay on Dancing With the Stars?

We’ve all accidentally flashed our butt crack before, and if you’re my friend Chuck, you do it almost daily without a care in the world. But not everyone is famous and therefore, most moonings don’t make the news.

Can you guess which celeb bent down to spend some time with her tiny ones at the park and wound up giving the paparazzi a show?

The answer is after the jump!

No, not her sapphic love, although she does address those rumors. In a new Barbara Walters Special, the Queen of the World answers tough questions about many aspects of her life, but in this clip, we see her get emotional over Gayle King, her oldest and best friend.

When Barbara asks what makes their bond so much stronger than most, Oprah wells up and says, “She is the mother I never had, she is the sister everybody would want and she is the friend that everybody deserves. I don’t know a better person.”

She goes on to say that the rumors of them being gay upset her only because it means that someone must think she’s lying about her sexuality, something that she has no reason to do. I mean, that makes total sense. You think that Oprah would pass up the chance to be the most powerful woman in the world, the most powerful black woman in the world AND the most powerful black lesbian in the world? Just doesn’t sound like her style to me.

Anyway, it kind of killed me when Oprah said that she was crying over Gayle in the interview because she wasn’t sure if she’s ever expressed her feelings that clearly to her in person. I celebrated Besties Day on December 7th, but don’t forget that it’s always a good time to remind the people in your life of how much you love them.

You know, I like Jack Black. I actually partied with him – OK, OK, near him – once. It was February or March of 2004, and I was hanging out in this shady bar on Bourbon Street in New Orleans called Fat Catz with a few of my friends. We’d all decided to do Mardi Gras for the first time that year and I think it was, like, our second day there or something. Or maybe it was the second hour, I don’t know – there’s no true sense of time during Mardi Gras with all of that alcohol, really, so I suppose either could be true. Anyway, as we were drinking our huge geaux cups of buy-one-get-two-free Hurricanes (and as a sidebar, they weren’t even good ones – they were like fruit punch Kool Aid with a buttload of liquor; if you want decent ones, go to Pat O’Briens – word) a guy with an entourage of about six people came in, and everyone around was sort of backed up a foot or two as they passed through.  I was totally in a state of inebriation, but as Jack passed (he’s a short dude, guys – he wasn’t much taller than me), he kind of threw me a roguish wink and made his space at the bar.  He was sort of locked in for the rest of the time by his flankers, so I couldn’t exactly open up a dialogue with him, but it was pretty cool nonetheless.

So yup.  There’s my claim to fame.  Jack Black winked at me, so I automatically dig his dyed-black hair, even if it does look like he’s trying to be like Pete Wentz and I actually secretly hate it.

My guess? He actually does this kind of stuff all the time. He just kind of strikes me like that, that crazy, self-absorbed, masturbating-forty-times-a-day James Franco that he is.

Rolling Stone magazine recently released Lennon’s last interview, taken just three days prior to his shooting on December 8th, 1980 (I wasn’t even born yet, criminy), which had all sorts of gems of insight and unintentional premonition:

On current-day musicians:

“These critics with the illusions they’ve created about artists – it’s like idol worship. They only like people when they’re on their way up … I cannot be on the way up again.”

His take on no longer being ‘the boss’:

“… And God help Bruce Springsteen when they decide he’s no longer God. They’ll turn on him, and I hope he survives it.”

On his own brand of world peace and spirituality:

“I’m not claiming divinity. I’ve never claimed purity of soul. I’ve never claimed to have the answers to life. I only put out songs and answer questions as honestly as I can … But I still believe in peace, love and understanding.”

On the eerie idea that the world prefers dead heroes to living ones:

“What they want is dead heroes, like Sid Vicious and James Dean. I’m not interesting in being a dead (expletive) hero. .. So forget ‘em, forget ‘em.”

On peace and shootings:

“I cannot live up to other people’s expectations of me, because they’re illusory. Give peace a chance, not shoot people for peace … I only put out songs and answer questions … I cannot be 18 and a be a punk … I see the world through different eyes. I still believe in love, peace and understanding, as Elvis Costello says.”

Crazy that this interview was done a mere three days before his untimely death – or, perfectly timely, if you believe in the inevitable and intricate design. Yoko Ono, Lennon’s widow, had this to say on the thirty-year anni of his death:

“On this tragic anniversary please join me in remembering John with deep love and respect. In his short lived life of 40 years, he has given so much to the world. The world was lucky to have known him. We still learn so much from him today. John, I love you!”

RIP John Lennon, and may your idea of transcending peace and love for all continue to trickle down throughout the ages.
