People: Ouch! Ex-neighbors hearten Lindsay Lohan's relocating out
Lindsay Lohan’s former Venice Beach neighbors are celebrating her move from the area.
She recently moved to the Chateau Marmont in L.A., much to their relief.
Lindsay is living for free at the Marmont, thanks to an artist friend who loaned her his place, Radaronline reports.
But, yikes, it’s clear she won’t be missed in her old hood: Her former neighbors weren’t shy about their feelings on seeing her go.
“Everyone is ecstatic that she moved,” one ex-neighbor said. “Goodbye to her and all her drama.
“Since she moved here it’s been a complete circus with a revolving door of friends in and out of her house and paparazzi camped out permanently. Everyone was so sick of her and her constant attention-seeking and mess-ups.”
Another neighbor echoed the sentiment: “Seriously, every time we heard a siren we hoped and prayed it was the police carting her off again and we would be left in peace.
“People move to Venice to get away from all the Hollywood bulls**t and everything that she represents, it was a nightmare when she was here.
“Sam [Ronson] has lived here for ages and she’s never been any drama, she’s very low key and just goes about her business, but Lohan was like a hurricane, or some other natural disaster tearing through the neighborhood.
“Good riddance to bad rubbish quite frankly.”
Lindsay, 25, reportedly moved out of her beach residence because of several stalkers that have attempted to make contact with her.
The proprietors of the Chateau Marmont are no strangers to hard partiers in the hotel’s 25-year history.
Courtney Love, Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, Heath Ledger, Leonardo DiCaprio and John Lennon have all infamously stayed at the Chateau — John Belushi overdosed and died there, and legend has it that members of Led Zeppelin rode their motorbikes through the lobby one
night.
A supposedly private email written by Gisele Bundchen asking friends to pray for husband Tom Brady – on Super Bowl Sunday has gone public, after being printed on the front page of the New York Post this week.
In the email, the Brazilian supermodel beseeches friends and family on behalf of the Patriots quarterback:
“My sweet friends and family. This sunday will be a really important day in my husband’s life. He and his team worked so hard to get to this point and now they need us more than ever to send them positive energy so they can fulfill their dream of winning this super bowl…
“So I kindly ask all of you to join me on this positive chain
and pray for him, so he can feel confident, healthy and strong. Envision him happy and fulfilled experiencing with his team a victory this sunday.
The Post asked Bundchen about the email, to which she responded: “I am surprised that you received this e-mail; it was a private note only sent to close friends and family.”
Brad Pitt better prepare for a barrage of criticism over his parenting techniques. What’s his secret weapon with his kids? Coca-Cola.
“Listen, I admit there’s times like, ‘We gotta get up. Get up! Here’s your shoes. Here’s your shoes. Drink this Coke. Drink this Coca-Cola. Drink it all. Right now! Drink it! Drink it! Drink it!’ Just so we could get ‘em up and
going,” Pitt told James Lipton in an upcoming episode of “Inside the Actor’s Studio.”
Pitt, who’s nominated for best actor at this month’s Academy Awards for his role in “Moneyball,” has six children — three biological and three adopted — with partner Angelina Jolie.
He agreed to the interview after turning down a chance to appear on “Inside the Actors Studio” in 2004 because he did not have a “sufficient body of work.” Since then he’s turned in critically acclaimed performances in both “Moneyball” and “Tree of Life.” Pitt is nominated for best actor for his work in “Moneyball.”
Pitt’s episode of “Inside the Actors Studio” will air on Feb. 10.
It’s been over 30 years since Suzanne Somers left the cast of “Three’s Company.”
Somers, who played bubble-headed sexy blonde Chrissy Snow, quit over a salary dispute with the sitcom’s producers.
But yesterday she had an emotional reunion with former castmate Joyce DeWitt, who played Janet Wood on the show, which ended in 1984.
DeWitt appeared on Suzanne Somers’ Breaking Through, the actress’ new online show.
Although Somers, 65, and DeWitt, 62, had a public spat for years after Somers’ departure, they happily embraced like old pals on the show.
In their first meeting in over three decades, the actresses reminisced about their days as TV roomies and remembered their co-star John Ritter (Jack Tripper), who died suddenly in 2003.

Lindsay Lohan: A.W.O.-’Ellen’?
Image Credit: Joe Scarnici/WireImage.com
Yesterday was a great day for Paris Jackson, who dropped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to discuss her late father, quirks and all. The interview provided insight into the life of a young girl who’s suffered great tragedy and somehow managed to maintain a sense of normalcy. But Jackson only got this opportunity because Lindsay Lohan dropped out of the taping at the last minute. The missed interview was yet another down in a long string of ups and downs for Lohan, who found fame (in 1998′s The Parent Trap) around the same age Jackson is now. In that light, it’s a sad thing to consider what has become of the once promising actress in the last 13 years. How did she go from poised preteen to a Playboy bunny grasping for (and once again bobbling) her last chance at relevance? And what was the point of it all?
The Ellen interview could have been a bounce back for Lohan, who has been personally and professionally buoyed in recent weeks. Not only is she on the road to sorting out her legal issues, but it seemed like the buzz around the Playboy spread could have fostered a career boost in the tradition of Drew Barrymore or Kim Kardashian. For the first time in a long time, she was receiving attention for something other than her drug addiction and/or unhealthy romantic entanglements. Yes, Playboy, is a nudie mag, but it’s the carefully controlled, artfully airbrushed kind that has shown many notable names, from the Real Housewives to Lohan’s icon Marilyn Monroe (on whom she styled her spread), in its pages. Now that Lohan flaked on the Ellen taping — a prime promotional opportunity — could all this potential be wasted?
It seemed like Lohan was taking back control of her life. If nothing else, Ellen would have been her first chance in years to tell her side of the story. By missing her plane from Hawaii, she forfeited that luxury. It’s indicative of Lohan’s life that something so personal and frivolous as a vacation was the cause of yet another professional misstep. As early as 2006, Lohan became known as an undependable party girl, setting the wheels spinning on her very real, very current inability to hold onto a role. In another 13 years’ time, you have to wonder if she’ll be asking herself, “Was it worth it? Was any of it worth it?”
Perhaps what’s at the core of this issue is the fact that Lohan never had control over her life in the first place. It’s interesting that on the show, Jackson discussed her father’s insistence that she and her siblings wear masks in public. She admitted it was “weird,” but qualified, “I kind of realized the older I got, like, he only tried to protect us.” Weird or not, Michael Jackson exercised certain controls over his children to keep them away from the public eye and give them as average a childhood as possible. This cannot be said of Dina and Michael Lohan. They thrust their baby into the spotlight when she was 3 years old and never looked back, idly watching as she moved to the Chateau Marmont at 16, counting their money even as she crippled her career, and — seeing Lindsay’s prospects shrivel — sought out their own fame in reality shows and tabloid sellouts. Lohan couldn’t regain control over her life because she never had it to begin with.
There’s no telling what will become of Paris Jackson. She’s just at the start of her journey — whether it includes fame or not. For Lohan, however, this may have been just another Sisyphean slog up the hill of her increasingly depressing life.
What do you think, PopWatchers? Was Lohan’s Ellen flake out that big a deal? After the Playboy leak, did she miss a critical chance to drum up interest and magazine sales that could have helped her career? When it comes down to it, do you think she will ever (or can ever) get it together?

Michael Jackson a Immortal World Tour
Michael Jackson’s life and work were epic and, yes, at times bizarre. Indeed, that’s also how to describe the latest Cirque du Soleil show, Michael Jackson the Immortal World Tour, a massive arena tribute to the King of Pop that opened in Cirque’s hometown of Montreal in October and is crisscrossing the U.S. through August 2012. It’s Cirque’s biggest tour ever and is expected to collect revenues that could top $1 billion. Such massiveness is fitting: Only the biggest of spectacles would be appropriate for one of the world’s biggest stars. Using elements of Cirque’s now-signature style, the show explores Jackson’s huge music catalog through both large and small dance numbers and acrobatic acts all set to a mish-mash of songs, videos, and voice-overs from the singer. In two quick hours, the dance-heavy show presents dozens of songs in standard arrangements, remixes, and mash-ups, largely backed by a live band on stage. There’s no particular through-line narrative, but a mime-like dancer decked out in all white (presumably, intended as something of a stand-in for Jackson) appears during certain numbers to loosely string everything together. But mostly, the show jumps all over the place. A tribe of dancers shakes it to an urban-styled ”Working Day and Night.” Then a puppet floats around the arena in a hot-air balloon to Jackson’s alternately sweet and creepy Free Willy 2 theme ”Childhood.” Then we’re treated to a video-screen rainstorm during ”You Are Not Alone.” The show’s acts run the gamut: Early on, five Afro-headed guys festively dance to ”I Want You Back” in front of video of the Jackson Five; later, a pair of skilled gymnasts spectacularly work their way through ”I Just Can’t Stop Loving You” on a floor-to-ceiling pole; and the curtain call is ”Man in the Mirror,” as the different groups of performers appear on stage before a light shines on a bedazzled glove in the darkness. With its big theatrics and decades-long span of music, The Immortal imagines a Jackson concert without the King of Pop himself. (Writer and director Jamie King had worked on concert tours for Madonna and Britney Spears.) A few numbers particularly stand out, including ”Billie Jean,” featuring dancers in glow-in-the-dark suits; ”Thriller,” with corpse-costumed dancers nodding to the iconic music video’s choreography; and ”They Don’t Care About Us,” in which a brigade of trooper-esque dancers stomping around the stage. This being a Cirque show, there’s also a good deal of quirkiness: Dancer Terrance Harrison is costumed as Jackson’s beloved chimp, Bubbles, for several numbers, while one of the most show-stopping performers (and audience favorites) is a one-legged dancer named Jean Sok. The Immortal has a particular focus on fantasy and whimsy, which is simultaneously unsettling and appropriate for a Jackson show. Though there’s a trippy quality to Cirque’s production, for the most part it all works. Even the most casual of Jackson followers will be entertained, and Jackson acolytes will revel in every glittering, peculiar moment.
