It's not that we frown on celebrities getting involved in the political process. Watching Ben Affleck and Susan Sarandon anoint themselves Hollywood's liaisons to Barack Obama is a comforting spectator sport, because it means we don't have to busy ourselves with making movies, getting famous, and securing access to the celebrity politician. Then there's Chuck Norris, who probably just wanted to show John McCain how to use the Total Gym and got roped into backing the Republican party. But when starlets who've done little more than turn high-profile DUIs and high-profile box office bombs into a career, well, it makes us long for the days of … unregistered voter Paris Hilton encouraging us to vote.

Poor Michael Lohan. In just one short week, the former prison inmate publicly fought with his daughter and ex-wife and suffered the loss of his father. But things grew worse over the weekend when Lindsay failed to show up for her grandfather's wake in Long Island, choosing instead to spend her time shopping in Manhattan with girlfriend Samantha Ronson. This forced Mike to discuss Lindsay's absence with the always sympathetic X17 photo agency, which we assume will be followed up with another preposterous exclusive with OK! magazine.
We've come to the conclusions that the Lohan family can't survive without being involved in some sort of public feud. The latest was with America's hero, Anderson Cooper, but this time they're keeping it inside the family and battling father Michael Lohan. Oh boy.
Upon news that Lindsay's girlfriend Samantha Ronson plans to write a tell-all, Michael went into a tirade accusing Sam of using LiLo for fame. Mike's not so self-aware, is he? In response, Lindsay pulled her dad aside and had a mature talk about how his actions hurt her. Just kidding, she went to Access Hollywood to announce that her father is "out of control."
So now it's Samantha's turn, and she unleashed her anger via MySpace, Brooke Hogan-style.
Lindsay Lohan's freak-sistah (not Ali) is getting a chance to tell her possibly-insightful story of growing up a real-life Tenenbaum. Samantha Ronson is in talks to pen a memoir about her life, and while everyone is freaking out that Samantha is using her relationship with LiLo to garner interest (she is), the DJ/club owner/child-of-a-socialite probably has some juicy niblets from her own life that don't involve Fire Crotch. Is Ronson a legitimate celebrity without Lindsay? No. But that's not usually a criteria for authors.

"Cracks" are beginning to show in Lindsay Lohan's lesbian veneer. Anonymous busy bodies tell OK! that the actress and her gal pal Sam Ronson have been bickering and Lohan's been getting close to the cock:
Samantha, Mark and Charlotte Ronson grace the pages of the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar in a fairly boring article that only gets exciting when — who else? — Lindsay Lohan becomes the topic of conversation.
CelebrityBlackBerrySightings.com is, as you might infer, a website devoted to chronicling celebrities with their BlackBerrys. This is like Celebrity Baby Blog, except instead of human spawn, there are pictures of stars with beautiful RIM devices. On this website you might learn that both Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have already scored themselves the new BlackBerry Bold, unavailable to the general public. Unless you're Canadian. [CBBS]
"'She's not a particularly good DJ. When you see her DJ, she really looks asleep at the wheel. She'll smoke cigarettes and just click through the songs on her laptop,' said Ian Drew, Us magazine's editor at large. 'She's like the friend with a bunch of records that you had come over when you had house parties in your parents' basement. The more drunk or high you get, the better she sounds.' Her draw? She's friends with the cool kids — like Lohan, Nicole Richie and Richie's ex-boyfriend, DJ AM. She can create a crowd, cachet and free press at the drop of her signature fedora hat." [ABC]
Without the ability to air an interview with Christopher Ciccone, Entertainment Tonight will have to settle for the fifteen seconds of controversy brewed up by an interview with Lindsay Lohan's just-uncovered half-sister Ashley Kaufmann. [Mollygood]
Today Lindsay Lohan celebrates her 22nd birthday — a day that, at one point, we were unsure she would live to see. So here’s to you, Linds, and your goal to get your life back on track. Let’s hope 22 treats you better than all of those other years … and if not, then at least we’ll have something to write about.
Watching Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson pal around a bookstore together is sort of like watching Mario Lopez breeze through a McDonald's drive-thru: These things do not make sense. [The Insider]
Because Mary-Kate Olsen's stint on Weeds was anything but bearable, Britney Spears is the starlet favorite to win the Emmy for best guest actress in a comedy series — now that Lindsay Lohan has dropped out of the race. Supposedly it's because her role on Ugly Betty, playing a childhood nemesis of Betty's, wasn't a role good enough for Lohan, who had entire dozens of seconds of on-air time. So add Linds to the Katherine Heigl's of the world, whose decisions not to compete for Emmys isn't so much an act of humility, but a slight to their shows' writers.

To fight back at the paparazzi, Lily Allen, who has long attracted their lens, but especially so after gaining weight, and most especially when she decided to lunch with Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson, snapped pictures of the crazed photographers, then posted them on her MySpace blog. That'll show 'em!
Lindsay Lohan and her alleged lesbianism have message boards working overtime. Here are two snatches from DataLounge’s impossibly long string of comments:
