Hollywood Headlines: A crazy week in review
The blind lady justice of the celebrity court system decided the fate of Little Miss Lilo this year, as the star was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab because of probation violations, court records show. During what eventually ended up being 13 days behind bars, Lohan was known to read Ernest Hemingway and apparently whenever she left her cell, the entire jail was put on lockdown.
After that long stretch of less than two weeks in the slammer, Lohan headed to rehab, where she’s scheduled to be released in early 2011. But of course our little redhead -- er, blond -- has a knack for finding trouble. In the slap that was heard around the world, Lindsay Lohan returned to the headlines after an incident at the Betty Ford Center. The story involves Lohan allegedly physically fighting with a clinic worker, who wanted to give her a drug test after Lohan had been out with friends. The woman has since been fired for telling her side of the story to the media, a violation of the center’s ethics codes. And then she later said she would not press charges or respond if subpoenaed by police. (Mark Ralston / Getty Images)
Fantasia Barrino is out of the hospital, and the word is that she wound up in there after attempting suicide. The 911 tapes have been released, revealing the frantic call informing dispatchers that Fantasia was “slowly losing consciousness” after overdosing on aspirin and a sleep aid. The alleged suicide attempt coincided with her being accused of adultery, so speculators are quickly drawing their own conclusions on the whole incident. Click for details on Fantasia’s story.

There’s sad news to report from the Rachel-Hayden camp. The engagement is over. No word as to why, but according to People, the endeavor may have been “geographically undesirable” (if the 405 played even a small part in this, we understand completely). The pair were engaged in February 2008 but announced in June that they were taking a break. That break is now a breakup. Sad-face emoticon. Click for more Bilson-Christensen breakup news.

Over in London, George Michael has been charged with marijuana possession and impaired driving. It all stemmed from a July car wreck where he allegedly rammed his Range Rover into a storefront. Georgey Boy hasn’t had much luck with the cars and the drugs; in 2007, he was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and banned from driving for two years for driving under the influence of drugs. Knowing George, he’ll soon be whipping us all into a disco frenzy with a musical recount of the DUI -- and film an accompanying music video of him fooling around with a judge in a toilet. We hope.
