EXCLUSIVE: Has troubled Lindsay Lohan fallen spectacularly off the wagon?

By DONNA MCCONNELL

Down and out in New York: Lindsay Lohan exhibited some bizarre behaviour as she sat in the street smoking after leaving bar with friends


Sitting in a grimy street, head face-first on the pavement, troubled star Lindsay Lohan appears to be down and out as she leaves a New York bar.

Looking decidedly the worse for wear, Lohan - who as part of her probation is not allowed to drink alcohol - appeared to have spent the best part of the evening hanging out with friends in The Cabin Down Below bar soon after arriving in New York by private jet.

After emerging, she is seen stooping on the floor, groping for support, and struggling to stay atop her high platform heels.


A new Lo: Lindsay hits the floor with her face


Dressed in a very short black dress, leopard print coat, the Machete star kneels on the floor, cigarette in hand, laughing uncontrollably and inadvertently exposed her underwear.

The 24-year-old stumbles to her feet while her laughing friends - including Samantha Swetra who was recently involved in a fight with Boardwalk Empire actress Paz de la Huerta - show little concern.

Finally one of them goes to her aid.

Lohan attempted to play down the scenes this morning tweeting: 'Is it not allowed to slip and fall? im always a klutz!!!'


Party time in the Big Apple: Lindsay arrived in New York last night by private jet and was soon seen out with friends on the Lower East side of Manhattanv


A source told the New York Daily News that Lohan had checked into a Times Square hotel instead of going as planned to her family's Long Island home.

Later that night, she was seen bar-hopping with Swetra starting at the Rose Bar in the Gramercy Park Hotel before continuing to The Cabin Down Below in the East Village, an ultra-exclusive bar disguised as a dive.

Lohan arrived in New York as it emerged she is planning to leave Los Angeles and set up home in the city.


Questions to answer: Lindsay will have some explaining to do to her probation officer as she appears very high-spirited in these pictures taken last night


According to her mother Dina Lohan the troubled actress is 'actively looking' for an apartment to rent.

Lindsay has been seen more and more in the city in recent weeks, flying in on a private jet a few days ago, supposedly join her family for a vacation on Long Island.

'She will be in New York a lot more going forward. She's actively looking for places in the city with her younger brother Michael,' Dina said.

'She loves it here. And she has a lot of friends who already have places, so she might sublet.'

And Lohan wasted no time in meeting up with some of those friends in a bar on the Lower East Side of the city.


Helping hand: Lindsay's friends seemed unconcerned by her wobbly state, and offered her hand to get to her feet

Bad hair day! Cheryl Cole sports bird's nest do as she larks around for the camera while filming new L'Oreal ad

By JODY THOMPSON

Anyone got a comb? Cheryl Cole's PR company posted up a picture of her having a seriously bad hair day as she was being styled for a new L'Oreal advert


She normally never has a hair out of place - and if there is, it's been artfully placed in the name of style - but Cheryl Cole was struck down with a serious case of barnet bother earlier today.

The X Factor judge appeared not only having a serious bad hair day to the extent her locks looked like a bulldozed bird's nest, but her PR Tweeted cheekily posted up a pic of it on Twitter for the world to see.

The hilarious photo which showed 27-year-old Cheryl grinning wildly under her wild hair was captioned: 'A seriously bad hair day. Help a girl out.'


Brunette beauty: The star had her usual hair style when she attended the Prince's Trust Celebrate Success Awards in London's Leicester Square last week


But fans of the brunette beauty need not fear that she's had a fashion fail - Mail Online can reveal the star was being styled for a new L'Oreal advert.

Although her PR couldn't divulge any more information about the campaign, the Twitter picture in which the star is wearing a khaki zipped jacket looks suspiciously like a 'before' shot for one of L'Oreal's rectifying hair products.

And even if not, as the face - and hair - of L'Oreal - she's certain to access to a myriad more of the beauty company's potions to restore her locks to their usual loveliness.

The X Factor judge is currently on tenterhooks waiting to find out if she's landed a job on the U.S. version.


Groomed girls: Cheryl and Girls Aloud bandmate met Prince Charles at the event which was sponsored by L'Oreal


Show insiders said that the 27-year-old Girls Aloud singer is set to take a role on the new programme in a multi-million pound deal but there has been some anguish about whether viewers will know who she is or be able to understand her accent.

The only person confirmed to be sitting alongside Cowell on the U.S. X Factor panel is producer L.A. Reid, who has helped launch the career of the likes of Rihanna, Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber.

A decision is expected soon however as auditions for the show started this week with 18,000 hopefuls descending on Los Angeles in a bid to become a star.

In the meantime, Cheryl is enjoying her time back in the UK, and last week,was a guest at the Prince's Trust Celebrate Success Awards.

Wearing a peach Sass & Bide gown that was slashed to the thigh, she joined her Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh to meet the charity's head Prince Charles.

PHILVOLCS Director Warns of Upcoming Strong Earthquake in The Philippines

After strong earthquakes hit Japan and New Zealand, PHILVOLCS Director Renato Solidum Jr. said the Philippines is next.

Matapos yanigin ng malakas na lindol ang Japan at New Zealand, bibigyang-linaw ng Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology Director na si Renato Solidum Jr. ang diumanoy nagbabadyang lindol na paparating sa Pilipinas. Sasagutin ang lahat ng katanungan ng Bottomliners at ng taong-bayan kasama ang nag-iisang King of Talk na si Boy Abunda ngayong Sabado sa “The Bottomline.”

May katotohanan ba ang kumakalat na isyung hinog na sa movement ang Marikina fault line? Ano ang mga lugar na sakop nito? Totoo bang hindi lamang sa Marikina at sa karatig-pook nito tumatakbo ang fault line kung hindi maging sa Bulacan hanggang Tagaytay? Ano ang estado ng ating mga real estates sa naturang fault line? May posibilidad bang magkaroon ng tsunami sa ating bansa?

Gaano nga ba tayo kahanda sa lindol? Payak pa ba ang “duck, cover and hold” bilang proteksyon? Ano ang dapat na reaksyon sa bawat intensity levels? Sapat ba ang Disaster Awareness at Preparedness campaign ng ating gobyerno? May kinahantungan ba ang Metro Manila eathquake impact reduction study? At saang lugar ang pinaka-ligtas na puntahan sakaling lumindol ?

Wag palalampasin ang “The Bottomline with Boy Abunda” pagkatapos ng primetime telecast ng Banana Split sa ABS-CBN.

Colorado: Civil Unions bill stalls

Colorado's civil unions bill stalled tonight due to the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee, who refused to approve the bill for consideration by the full chamber.

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper had urged the committee to advance the bill, which was approved by the state Senate last week.

One Colorado reports via press release: “Today’s vote was out of touch with everyday Colorado voters. With 72% of Coloradans in support of civil unions, House Republicans are out of the mainstream,” said Brad Clark, Executive Director of One Colorado, a statewide LGBT advocacy organization. “Once again, they have turned their backs on Colorado families and kids.”

According to polls, support for civil unions is high. A February 2011 poll by Public Policy Polling found that 72% of Colorado voters support legal recognition of gay and lesbian couples.

Additionally, a Greenberg Quinlan Rosner poll conducted in 2010 found support for civil unions across political parties and religious affiliations, including 61% of Republicans, 84% of independents, 70% of Catholics, 67% of Protestants, and 55% of “born again Christians.”

Earlier today, a group of anti-gay Christians gathered at the state capitol building for a prayer vigil opposing the bill while pro-gay supporters held their own rally nearby.

The coalition advocating for civil unions includes more than 100 organizations representing nearly 1 million Coloradans.

All 5 Democrats on the Committee voted for the bill, while all 6 Republicans on the committee voted against the it. Republican Representatives Brian DelGrosso, Jerry Sonnenberg and B.J. Nikkel, considered moderates on the committee, took long pauses before submitting their "no" votes Thursday night.

Gay Navy Officer wins discharge hearing

Petty Officer Derek Morado today won his discharge hearing with the Navy after being told he faced ejection due to a MySpace photograph that was turned in anonymously. In the photo, Morado is seen kissing another man. Morado's lawyer told KMPH News that even though DADT has been repealed, that doesn't mean the military's investigations are over.

From Get Equal: This is good news for a few reasons -- it shows the power of grassroots efforts to apply pressure and the reality that, when we expose the truth and stand up for our dignity, we win. We don't know how many other servicemembers are facing discharge, but we will not rest until all Americans -- LGB and T -- are free to serve their country freely, openly, honestly, and without danger of discharge.

Today was a victory, and we're grateful to Derek for lending his story and his voice to highlight the fact that servicemembers are still facing the discharge process, even 100 days after the law was repealed. We're also grateful to our friends at AMERICAblog Gay, who partnered with us to send Derek into the courtroom with the names of thousands of supporters who were unwilling to let this happen without pushing back.

The Navy's panel voted 3-0 in favor of Morado's retention.

Michael Buble marries his girlfriend Luisana Lopilato in a civil wedding ceremony in Buenos Aires

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Mr and Mrs: Canadian singer Michael Buble married his girlfriend Luisana Lopilato in a civil wedding ceremony in Buenos Aires today


Canadian singer Michael Buble has married his girlfriend Luisana Lopilato in a civil wedding ceremony in Buenos Aires today.

The Grammy-winning singer and his Argentine wife posed for a mob of fans following the nuptials.

Wearing a purple pleated mini dress with sheer tulle trim, the the 23-year-old was stunning on the hand of her 35-year-old husband.


Affection: Michael couldn't keep his hands or lips of his gorgeous bride


Michael looked equally dapper in a dark grey suit which he paired with a silver tie.
For the simple ceremony the bride carried a small bunch of orchids which accentuated the colour tones of her frock.

She later tossed her bouquet in the air to the waiting fans as Michael adoringly looked on.

As they posed for pictures, the groom could not keep his hands or lips of his gorgeous bride.

The couple are planning a full ceremony with 300 guests next month at a mansion outside Buenos Aires, followed by another wedding in Vancouver in April.

They confirmed that they are having two weddings so both their families can attend.


Stunning: The beautiful blonde was beaming throughout the day

'We are doing one in Argentina and that's for her close family, and then we are doing one in Vancouver,' Michael has said.

Michael also revealed that he will be giving his vocal cords a rest on the big day, as his fiancée has asked him not to sing at their wedding, instead preferring the musical stylings of Argentine-Venezuelan singer Ricardo Montaner.

In an interview with Ross King on Daybreak in December, Michael said: 'I asked my fiancée if she wanted me to sing and she said no.'

She said, "I want Ricardo Montaner". So now I’ve got Ricardo Montaner coming!'
Michael said at the time that he was starting to feel nervous about the nuptials.

'It’s only four months away and now I’m starting to get a little nervous!

'The truth is I know that for a lot of women, this is what they dream of - that day - and I know that that’s a big deal for them in their life and they want it to be perfect.'

'I’m a boy, I didn’t grow up thinking about my wedding day, so for me, I just want it to be good for her.

'Really, I just want her to feel like she’s had the perfect day.'

A grand day out: Peter Andre takes his children to Chessington World Of Adventures - and films it all for his TV show

By Daily Mail Reporter


Family day out: Peter Andre treated Junior and Princess to a trip to Chessington World Of Adventures while filming his new TV show


Despite Katie Price's insistence that she wants her children to remain off camera, Peter Andre seems determined to feature them in his new TV show as much as possible.

And in the latest scenes to be filmed for the programme he treated Junior, five, and three-year-old Princess to a trip to Chessington World Of Adventures.

The 38-year-old Mysterious Girl singer appeared to be thoroughly enjoying himself as he carried Princess - and gave Junior a lift on his shoulders - around the park.


And he also joined them on some of the rides at the park, with all the fun being captured on camera for Peter's ITV2 reality TV show The Next Chapter.

The scenes were the latest to feature the children, after he also took them to a cupcake making class in Brighton for the show - despite his ex wife Katie Price asking that he no longer feature them on camera.

Katie recently hit out at her ex-husband for still being pictured with their children in the press and on film.

Devoted father: Peter held on to Princess' hand as the family made their way round the theme park

Hands full: At one point Peter was holding Princess while Junior hitched a ride on his shoulders - but it wasn't for long


She made an about-turn in November and suddenly announced she wanted her children out of the spotlight, despite having featured them regularly on her own reality TV shows and in interviews.

However, she said that the moratorium doesn't apply to Harvey, who will still feature in the forthcoming series, entitled Katie.


Joining in the fun: The singer appeared to be enjoying himself as he treated the children to several rides around the park


She said in an interview with the Evening Standard recently of her other
children: 'They're at an age now where Junior is like, "Mummy, I am famous. Kids at school say I am not famous but I am," and I thought, from those remarks, that it's time to take them out. Harvey has no idea about any of it.'

But oddly, both Junior and Princess were in the audience in front of live television cameras when Katie performed on Let's Dance For Comic Relief just last month.

Keeping private: Katie Price said recently that she did not want Peter to feature their children in his TV shows


The children have already appeared in series including Katie & Peter: Unleashed, Katie & Peter: The Next Chapter Down Under, Katie & Peter: Stateside and What Katie Did Next.

Peter, who recently celebrated his 38th birthday, was also one of the guests at the News Of The World Children's Champion Awards in London on Wednesday night - as was Katie's other former husband Alex Reid.

What police cuts? THREE squad cars turn up to Katie Price's house... after some fans ring doorbell for an autograph

By Daily Mail Reporter


Enthusiastic response: Three squad cars turned up to Katie Price's Surrey home today


The police force is currently facing the challenges of losing a fifth of its funding over the next four years.

But you would never know there was a crisis outside Katie Price's home in Surrey today, when no fewer than three police vehicles arrived to assist the reality star.

But it was far from the emergency situation it appeared to be as the squad cars lined up along the country road - in fact, they were called to deal with a small group of fans who had rang Price's doorbell asking for an autograph.

Drama: Police attended to deal with a group of fans who rang the doorbell asking for an autograph from the star


The over-attentive police unit raced to the scene despite there being no danger to the reality star - her large gates at the end of the driveway kept the eager fans well away from her home.

Further, Katie, 32, wasn't even at home at the time. The model was in Manchester for the day at the Sky call centre.

She tweeted this evening: 'On way back from manchester thankyou everyone at sky call centre for making me feel welcome xx'

A spokesperson for Price is yet to respond to a request for comment on the incident.

No danger: Katie wasn't even at home at the time of the incident, she spent the day in Manchester


This isn't the first time the police have gallantly stepped up to assist Price in her time of need.

Last month they drew heavy criticism for forming a rolling road block to shield her from photographers on the A3.

Police confirmed that an investigation was launched after complaints by furious motorists who were left trailing behind during the delays caused by her VIP treatment in early February.

At the time, photographer Ben Benjilali - one of four snappers who had been waiting close to the reality TV star’s home and was caught in the chaos - told agency reporters that it was not unusual for paparazzi to follow Ms Price and she would normally happily stop and pose for pictures.

Not the first time: The Police drew criticism last month when they gave Price a rolling road block on the A3

Special treatment: The roadblock caused heavy delays for frustrated motorists left trailing behind the model


But as her Range Rover car joined the A3 from the M25 a police vehicle appeared and introduced a 50mph speed limit behind the car for eight minutes..

One Surrey resident Ian Whittaker, from Hindhead, was so infuriated by the incident that he has lodged a formal complain with Surrey police.

‘As a Surrey taxpayer, I am concerned that limited police resources are being abused in this manner,’ he said.

‘If any of the press or other road users were driving above the speed limit, they should have been prosecuted.


Cosy: While her exes were out at the star-studded Children's Champions Awards last night, Katie tweeted a picture of Leandro cooking her dinner at home


‘This looks like star-struck Surrey Police officers pandering to the ego of a minor celebrity.’

Meanwhile Katie managed to avoid drama for once by staying home rather than attending the reality star-studded Children's Champions awards in London.

Both of her exes - Peter Andre and Alex Reid turned up to the ceremony, but Katie side-stepped a potentially awkward situation by staying at home.

Instead, she tweeted a picture of new love Leandro Penna cooking her a cosy meal of roast chicken.

At last, embattled Sandra Bullock manages to raise a smile

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Perky: Sandra Bullock looked cheerful as she left her New York apartment today for a trip to the gym


Sandra Bullock took the bull by the horns today, so to speak, and made a concerted effort to cheer herself up with a trip to the gym.

The actress has been spotted looking a little down in the dumps in recent days in the wake of her ex-husband Jesse James planing to release a tell-all-book on their marriage.

But as she left her New York apartment this morning, the 46-year-old Oscar-winning actress had managed to raise a smile.


Grin and bare it: The actress played it casual and was carrying a pair of running trainers as she made her bright and breezy exit


Sandra played it casual in three-quarter length trousers and a black top as she headed to for a workout to release some endorphins.

Yesterday she was pictured looking glum as she went out for a stroll with her adopted son Louis.

Her downcast day out came immediately after her ex-husband Jesse James revealed the book cover of his memoir.

In the book James recalls parts of his life spanning 41 years.

He writes about everything from his tough upbringing, and struggles with addiction to success and fame.

He also touches on his failed marriages, which will no doubt refer to his ex-wife, Sandra.

Speaking to U.S magazine People, he describes what the tome will entail.


Mother and son: Sandra seen here on Tuesday with son Louis, cutting a rather glum figure


'I've lived a pretty crazy life,' he said.

'My life has been defined by many things and not just the events of the last year.
'I just wanted [the memoir] to be a good story, a page-turner and hopefully people will see it as that.'

For the the cover, the 41-year-old is seen posing in the theme of the famous American outlaw with whom he shares the same namesake.


'Pretty crazy life': Jesse James's new book cover


Holding a.44 Magnum revolver, he wears a Western Style suit and bowler hat.

He said he settled on the look rather than, 'some variation of a bad prom photo, serious Thinker pose like most book jackets show.'

James, the former head of now redundant West Coast Choppers, appeared in the reality TV reality series Monster Garage and also featured in the documentary Motorcycle Mania.

But the tattoo-clad star is of course most famous for his marriage Bullock - and their bitter split.

Their relationship imploded last year just days after her Oscar win for The Blind Side when she discovered he had been having an affair with a tattoo model.

Sandra then divorced James in April 2010 after more women claimed that they had affairs with Jesse during their marriage.

The split came days before Sandra announced in April that she had proceeded with plans to adopt a baby boy born in New Orleans.
