FINALLY! The beautiful, talented, Lindsay Lohan has kicked her loser boyfriend, Riley Giles, to the curb! This happened last week, because Riley wasn't supporting Lindsay's new sober lifestyle.

Riley was spotted at NYC's hot hangout, the Pink Elephant, the day before the breakup. Not a good place to be hanging out after just getting out of rehab.

Akon Charged

Akon has been charged with misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment. At an earlier concert this year, a 15 year old boy threw something at the singer on stage. Akon asked the crowd to point out the person who threw the object and when the boy was identified, Akon had a security guard bring him on stage. That is when he hoisted the boy onto his shoulders and flung him into the crowd! The boy landed on another kid, who suffered a concussion.

Akon is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.

Linda Hogan filed for divorce from her husband of nearly 24 years, wrester Hulk Hogan, the AP reports.

Hulk, whose real name is Terry Bollea, learned of the split after a reporter told him paperwork was filed in Pinellas County court November 20.

"Thank you for the great information," Hulk, 54, told the St. Petersburg Times reporter.

In a later interview with the Times, Hulk said: "My wife has been in California for about three weeks. ... Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me."

On their VH1 reality TV series, Hogan Knows Best, the couple had been attending marital counseling, but seemed to reconcile.

The past several months have been tumultuous for the family.

On November 7, Nick Bollea, Hogan's 17-year-old son, was arrested on reckless-driving charges stemming from an August 26 crash in which he was racing his 1998 Toyota Supra against a Dodge Viper driven by a friend.

John Graziano, who was in Bollea's passenger seat and not wearing a seat belt, was seriously injured and is still in the hospital.

The Hogans, who also have a daughter, Brooke, 19, live in a $12 million home in Miami Beach.

Delgado, who appeared with Velvick on a special episode of The Bachelor called "After the Final Rose" that aired November 20, was released later Wednesday afternoon.

Dennis Quaid's Kids Fighting For Their Lives

Dennis Quaid's newborn twins are in stable condition after being given an accidental drug overdose at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

In a statement to Us Magazine, Quaid’s rep said: “Dennis and [his wife] Kimberly appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers and hope they can maintain their privacy at this difficult time.”

Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace - whom Quaid and his wife welcomed via a surrogate on November 8 — were given a 10,000 units of Heparin — an anti-coagulant used to flush out IV lines and prevent blood clots — this past Sunday and began to "bleed out," TMZ.com first reported Tuesday. (Babies typically get 10 units.)

The newborns, who are in the hospital's neo-natal intensive care unit, are being given the drug Protamine, which reverses the effects of Heparin.

Brit Hires a Private Investigator

Kevin Federline's attorney is speaking out about a recent report that Britney Spears has hired a private investigator to dig up dirt in their ongoing custody battle.

TMZ.com first reported the news Monday.

"I think that if that is what they need to do, or have to do, to have at it," Federline's counsel, Mark Vincent Kaplan, tells Us Magazine. "I don’t think it will, in anyway, be a good expenditure of funds. But I can’t stop that from happening."

However, he said it would be a waste of time for them to follow Federline, 29, around.
"I don’t think he would be concerned about it, and I don’t think he has to change anything he is doing in order to address that," Kaplan added.

DRIVING UPDATE

Meanwhile, Spears' attorney Anne Kiley revealed Monday to Us Magazine that Spears — who has been banned from driving with her kids in the car — has decided to hire a driver to avoid any dangerous incidents with the paparazzi.

Though Kaplan said he hasn't seen that Spears, 25, has hired a driver or read Kiley's statement, he tells Us Magazine, "anything that puts the children in a car that reduces the risk ... I am all for that."
He added, "We are only concerned when she is driving the kids."

For Federline's part, Kaplan said his client tries his best not to take his kids out in front of the paparazzi. "He’s pretty good about keeping the kids at home with him unless there is really a compelling reason why they need to be going somewhere," he said.

THANKSGIVING PLANS

He would not comment whether Spears will celebrate Thanksgiving with her sons on Wednesday, and Federline will have them Thursday, as reported by TMZ.com Monday.
"I think that nobody wants to be celebrating the holidays without their kids," he said. "I’m sure that will be worked out in a way that makes sense for everybody."

Britney's Disturbing Childhood

Britney Spears made a name for herself as a happy, wholesome pop star who was saving herself for marriage.

But lawyer Eric Ervin, who worked with Spears as a teenager, tells Us Magazine in its new cover story that the "virgin" image Spears portrayed was, in his words, a "PR blitz." In fact, Us reports in its new issue that Spears lost her virginity at 14 to boyfriend Reg Jones, and that she and Justin Timberlake were intimate from the beginning.

Something Spears also kept secret: Her family's tragic history.
SCN has learned that Spears' paternal grandmother, Emma Jean Spears, in June 1966 committed suicide at age 31. Britney's grandmother, who suffered from depression, shot herself in the chest with a shotgun at the grave of her infant son who had died eight years earlier just three days after being born.

A local newspaper article obtained by SCN reported at the time: "The shotgun had been pressed against the woman's chest and she apparently pulled the trigger with a toe of the right foot from which a shoe had been removed." The newspaper reported that Emma Jean had attempted suicide three times before.

Emma Jean Spears left behind four other children, including Britney's father, Jamie Spears, then an eighth grader. Two of Jamie Spears' brothers ended up with criminal records and homeless.

Donda West's Doctor "Wanted to Be More of a Celebrity Kind of Physician"

The uncle and former business partner of Dr. Jan Adams — who operated on Kanye West's mom Donda before her death Saturday — has called the Beverly Hills surgeon "arrogant.”
In an interview with Extra (airing Wednesday), Dr. Pearlman D. Hicks said he quit their California medical practice nearly 10 years ago, adding, “I got the feeling he wanted to be more of a celebrity kind of physician.”

Though Hicks said there were never any complaints made about Adams during their tenure, “his personality is to a point that it can be considered arrogant at times,” he said.

Still, he said he was "very shocked" upon hearing allegations that Adams may be responsible for her death. (Adams said the breast reduction and tummy tuck he performed on her had nothing to do with her passing and could have been the result of other medical problems.)
Meanwhile, Adams' former patient, Gina Cloud — who won a malpractice suit against him about eight years ago — told Extra she is still shaken over a botched operation to remove loose skin after the birth of her daughter.

“I had four procedures with him," she said. "I kept foolishly letting him try to correct it ... it was really traumatic.

"He always had an answer," she continued. "He would always say something that was reassuring made me feel like, okay, I’m going to give him one more try and I really shouldn’t have.

“I absolutely wouldn’t recommend him,” Cloud said. “I think it’s really tragic that he’s actually still practicing medicine.”

UGLY Lindsay

No, Lindsay Lohan is the furthest thing from Ugly, but she may be appearing on an ugly show on network television. According to an article in The New York Observer that may certainly be the case. And, I guess there's no better place to get back in the public's good graces then on a high-profile show like Ugly Betty.

According to unidentified sources on the set of Betty, Lohan's people are in serious talks to have her appear in a three-episode arc. She would portray the assistant manager of the fast food restaurant where Betty's father currently works. Our darling Betty would take pity on the hapless manager, who would be a former high school beauty queen who has hit hard times, and get her a job at Mode.

Lohan's representatives have yet to respond to these rumors.

Kanye's Family Releases a Statement on Mother's Death

Kanye West is hoping that some good can come of his mother's untimely passing.
In a statement released Monday night by West's rep, the 30-year-old rapper's family asks that fans donate to the foundation he and mom Donda started together.

"Kanye West, his family and friends would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of support and kind words that have come in from across the country since the death of his mother, Dr. Donda West.

After working in higher education for 31 years, Dr. Donda West and Kanye West co-founded the Kanye West Foundation with the mission of helping to combat the severe dropout problem in high schools across the country. The first and signature initiative of the Kanye West Foundation is Loop Dreams. Designed to capitalize on students existing interest in hip-hop, Loop Dreams challenges students to learn more about what’s behind hip-hop culture in order to help them develop skills, express themselves creatively and be empowered.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Dr. West's name to the Kanye West Foundation/Loop Dreams Teacher Training Institute."

Preliminary information suggests that Donda West, 58, died on November 10 in Los Angeles due to complications from plastic surgery. An autopsy will be performed this week to determine precisely what happened.

For now, the family says, "Details of funeral services are still pending."

Britney's Friends: Its Not Drugs, it's Mental Illness

Days after a judge ruled that Britney Spears could only spend three days a week with her children, she reacted by leaving her two kids in a parked car with a court-appointed monitor (whose job description does not include babysitting) as she shopped for $18,200 worth of chandeliers at the Crystal Place design shop near L.A. November 4.

Why does Spears, 25 — even after having physical custody of her kids taken away — keep exhibiting such questionable parenting skills?

Sources say the troubled pop star does not seem to grasp the gravity of her custody case, and they blame her bizarre public behavior (swapping clothes with a stranger, among her recent moves) on psychological issues, not drugs.

“It’s not substance abuse — it’s mental!” a confidante tells Us.
Pals suspect adult-onset ADD or depression, with one friend saying, “Postpartum has always been a problem” after giving birth to Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.

Brit Pays More to K-Fed

A court has ordered that Britney Spears must pay $120,000 dollars in legal fees to ex-husband Kevin Federline for attorney bills he has racked up in his protracted custody battle.

In court documents released Tuesday and obtained by SCN, L.A. County Commissioner Scott L. Gordon ruled that Spears pay all but $40,000 dollars of Federline's October 10 request for $160,000 in legal costs from his ex.

The decision was made based on the former couple's income petitions -- and while "recording artist" Spears claims an average monthly income of $737,000, "self employed performance artist" Federline has previously stated he has no net income after business expenses.

Federline currently receives from Spears $15,000 in child support, and also $20,000 a month in spousal support, which expires on November 15.

In addition to paying Federline's legal fees, the documents show that Spears has paid her attorneys $225,000 since her divorce was declared final on July 30.
