Sarah says that Lohan did not strike the alleged victim with her car and that he did not even leave his staircase, but that when Lohan left he made up a story and said, “[Lindsay] is definitely going to pay.”
Lohan has vehemently denied the rumors taking to her Twitter account saying, “Scrape? This is all a complete lie. I’ve been at community service. Last night, I attempted to wish a friend happy birthday, which I didn’t even get to do because I was freaked out by all of the paparazzi. These false accusations are absurd.”

Report – OC Housewife Gretchen Rossi Begged Bravo To Pay For Her Engagement Ring; Gretchen Denies It!
According to a new, not so shocking report, Real Housewives of Orange County star Gretchen Rossi is not only trying to one up her costar Tamra Barney’s recent engagement, but is also trying to get Bravo to pay for her engagement ring!
Less than two weeks after Tamra got engaged, The NY Post is reporting that Gretchen is next, and instead of leaving the planning and proposal to her slave beau Slade Smiley, she is faking planning it all, a la Kim Kardashian, in hopes that Bravo will foot the bill. Evidently, in famewhoreville the woman does all the planning when it comes to a proposal!
A source tells The Post, “The housewives are always trying to one up each other, and the engagements are just another example of that. Gretchen was trying to hustle for an engagement storyline after hearing her rival had a ring.”
Sources reveal that after finding out that Eddie Judge proposed to Tamra, Gretchen and Slade, who have been together for 3 years believe it or not, got in touch with Bravo. “They called Bravo producers and asked if they would pay for the engagement ring and travel arrangements for a proposal in an exotic location. Bravo said no.” Ouch!
Sources add that Eddie proposed to Tamra with his own ring, purchased with his own money, ya listening Slade?! Bravo reportedly had to re-shoot some scenes to include Tamra’s engagement news.
Hours after the NY Post report came out, Gretchen took to her Facebook, of course, to deny the report. And, we all know honesty is Gretchen’s strong suit!
First Gretchen wrote: “I normally don’t do this, but there is just so much bull honkey going on in this article that I have to address some of the ridiculous statements. Who comes up with this non-sense anyways?”
Oh but it didn’t end there as Gretchy Gretch laid out what she claims to be false about the report -
“A. I never asked Bravo to pay for an engagement ring or exotic trip
B. I didn’t know Slade was considering asking me to marry him until I saw him ask his Mom on the show (the same time the world saw it)
C. I …didn’t even know you could try and steal away a story line from another cast memeber, that is just ridiculous.
D. The lawsuit against Slade and I has been dropped and dismissed
E. Slade most certainly does not work for me and never has. He has only helped me with my business, as any good partner would. He has his own job working for a company in advertising and marketing.”
The lawsuit reference is about Gretchen’s former business partner, Ron Ann Myers, who sued her for $100,000, alleging breach of contract and fraud, last April. The Post had mentioned the lawsuit in the article, also stating that Slade was working for Gretchen.
We also reported last week about the speculation that Slade might be planning to propose to Gretchen with the same ring he gave his former fiancé Jo De LaRosa. Guess we now know why!

Jackson Alma Mater Names Lab After King of Pop
Gardner Street Elementary School in Hollywood will unveil its new Michael Jackson Music Education Lab on Monday.
The launch of the newly named lab will also feature the new MusIQ program, incorporating Adventus Software for the students of Gardner Street Elementary. The enhanced program will teach students fundamentals of music education, such as elements focusing on composition, arrangement and the ability to read music.
“This is only the second school in California to have this program; it’s the first one in the LA Unified District,” said Lesley Holmes, the founder and chairwoman for the Friends of Gardnerville, the non-profit organization that supports the elementary school and children by creating funding opportunities for educational programs.
The lab will have pictures of Jackson and a signed chalkboard.
“This was a room that Michael Jackson used when he attended the school in the sixth grade. His presence was made in musical contributions,” said Holmes.
The lab was built with donations from various sponsors and The Friends of Gardnerville hope to fully fund the program on their own next year, said Holmes.
This is the second time Jackson has been recognized at the elementary school. The sign on the auditorium, also named after the late superstar, was concealed in the wake of molestation charges against the pop singer. The sign was restored a year after the death of Jackson in June of 2009.

Lindsay Lohan Sued by Crazy Person Who Claims She is a Hooker
Lindsay Lohan hasn’t been dominating the tabloids lately. In fact, she has been quite the model citizen as of late. Even the judge at her progress hearing who told her to keep doing what she is doing.
It is a shame that she is facing a lawsuit by a lunatic Iraq war vet. Thomas A. Green is suing Lohan for $300,000 for “unfair business practices”. He claims that Lohan contacted him on Facebook and expressed interest in an online business he wanted to start. Lindsay Lohan had been banned form Facebook at one point in her life.
Oh he also claimed to be part of the team that killed Osama bin Laden.
Green acknowledges in the suit that he recently has been staying at a homeless shelter and that he suffers from a “depreciated stage of delusion and hallucinations.”
Green says Lohan led him on about the business and in the process of their discussions Lohan revealed her part in the consipracy to kill Osama Bin Laden.
In the lawsuit Green writes,
“[Green] set out to command [Lohan] to twitter and stated if [Lohan] acknowledges this is an Osoma Bin Ladden (sic) op all civillians in past wrong doings will receive clemency.”
He went on to say that he beleives that
“[Lohan] might be a high end prostitute who is responsible for him being stuck in Colorado with no money or set income and a bank account closed.”
Green’s suit will certainly be thrown out of court, but it probably isn’t making Lohan feel any better. She has recently had to run away form her house due to a psychotic fan breaking in.
Do you think Lindsay Lohan is a high end prostitute who helped kill Osama bin Laden?
