Another day, another Lindsay Lohan headline. Yesterday, Lohan was accused of not paying her $46K tab at the Chateau Marmont hotel. Today, the actress is being accused of trashing the trailer Elizabeth Taylor used when she was filming Cleopatra. The owner had loaned the trailer to producers of the Taylor biopic Liz & Dick, but when it was returned it was covered in cigarette burns and dirty dishes, and several antiques were missing. Of course, Lohan said she's not to blame. The owner estimates the cost of the damages to the trailer to be $100,000.

Despite allegedly hurling champagne bottles in a crowded nightclub, Drake will not face criminal charges stemming from his brawl with Chris Brown. TMZ reports police have "no suspects, complaints, or arrest warrants at this time." Though Drake and Brown are not currently facing criminal charges, it's very very likely they'll face civil penalties from injured bystanders. Several clubgoers have come forward with their injuries, including 21-year-old Veronica, who had to get stitches when she was hit with a champagne bottle. She said she's planning to sue the club and is looking at her "best legal options" about taking legal action against Brown or Drake.

While Brown and Drake might have avoided criminal charges, Ronnie from Jersey Shore isn't going to be that lucky. The cast from the reality show started their sixth season by getting into a bar fight and now one guy who allegedly had his face bashed in by Ronnie has filed a criminal complaint with police. The man accuses Ronnie of punching him several times during the fight but Ronnie claims it was all in self-defense. And we thought the season was going to be dull with Snookie knocked up and The Situation in rehab . . .

Hollywood A-listers like DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg, Barbra Streisand, Salma Hayek, Tobey Maguire, and Jack Black attended a $40,000-a-plate fundraiser for President Obama Thursday night at George Clooney's home, raising a record-breaking $15M for the president's re-election campaign. "We raised a lot of money because everybody loves George," he said. "They like me, they love him. And rightfully so."
Remember Obama's 2008 "Hope" campaign poster? Turns out it was taken from a photo of Obama sitting next to Clooney. "This is the first time that George Clooney has ever been Photoshopped out of a picture," he said. "Never happened before, will never happen again."
But not every celeb is pro-Obama. While signing autographs for fans in New York, Beach Boys singer Bruce Johnston called Obama an "a**hole," adding, "Unless you're interested in never having any money and being socialized." Should we expect a "Help Us Romney" cover?

Still trying to think of something to get Mom for Mother's Day? Justin Bieber penned a song for his mom.

"You worked two jobs, to keep a roof above our heads, you chose a life for me no you never gave up, I admire you, for the strength you’ve instilled in me," Bieber sings on the track. Try topping that with a Hallmark card.
