LAPD Finds Mess, Not Robbery, At Lindsay Lohan's Home

According to PEOPLE.com, Lindsay Lohan’s biggest concern should be for the condition of her residence, not for the break in she thought she had.

At 3 p.m. Tuesday, Los Angeles police responded to Lohan’s home security alarm. What they found at her residence was evidence of a potential break-in and “ransacking.”

As it turns out, the LAPDtold the Associated Press, nothing was wrong despite the home's messy state. Los Angeles police officer Karen Rayner even asked, “Is it always like this, or did the intruders do it?”

Lohan was not home at the time of the “break-in,” and nothing was stolen. The police concluded that the alarm had malfunctioned.

Twitterers made fun of the star's latest drama:

  1. Jimmy Hodson
    JimmyHodson Thanks to Lindsay Lohan, now we never have to clean up our home, we can just say it was ransacked!
  2. Josh Kendrix

Oz has been on the show for five years and appeared in 55 episodes offering diet advice and discussing major medical issues.

Twitterers were disappointed to hear of his departure, but excited about the new show:

Rivers Beats Duke In Final "Apprentice" Faceoff

Comedian Joan Rivers was hired and poker champ Annie Duke was fired Sunday during the finale of "Celebrity Apprentice."

According to the Associated Press, Rivers' fundraiser gala was a better success than Duke's, cinching the win for Rivers and her chosen charity, God's Love We Deliver. The charity, which brings meals to the seriously ill who are home-bound, will receive $250,000.

The three-hour finale showed Duke and Rivers in a live boardroom session at Manhattan's Museum of Natural History. There they were given the verdict and host, Donald Trump, uttered the infamous line, "You're fired!"

Duke and Rivers exchanged barbs throughout the series, so it was no surprise when the two continued to hurl insults at one another during the finale.

The two women were the last of 16 celebrities vying for the title of Celebrity Apprentice. This was the show's eighth season, and it'll be back next year for a ninth one.

Many Twitterers were disappointed by the results, though a few were pleased with Rivers' win:
  1. ANDREA
    SMILEZ0713 still in shock that annie duke lost celebrity apprentice!!!!
  2. dsforest
    dsforest I'm so pissed that Joan Rivers won the celebrity apprentice. This was a sympathies vote for an old lady, not a business decision.
  3. semperfifi
    semperfifi Disappointed Annie Duke didn't win Celebrity Apprentice. But not in the least surprised.
  4. -Amanda-
    glamorousamanda What a bogus outcome on the celebrity #Apprentice last night. Money & name makes the world go around when you have millions at stake.
  5. Adrianne Machina

"Grey's" Wedding Site Appears on Knot.com

The Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd wedding already had buzz among "Grey's Anatomy" fans but "Grey's" creator Shonda Rhimes has added to the hype with a Knot.com Web site. The site includes the wedding date, information on the couple, a blog by character Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) and even the ability to RSVP. According to the Associated Press, the site drew 1,400 replies within the first 24 hours of its launch.

The AP reports Rhimes "enlisted the TV show's staff and ABC's marketing department to make the most of the occasion." Rhimes came up with the idea while filming scenes where Grey (Ellen Pompeo) tries on wedding dresses. The site came together quickly and launched last Thursday.

A registry page also appears on the site and gives viewers the opportunity to donate funds to the American Academy of Neurology Foundation, American Skin Association and Alzheimer's Association. Michael Benson, executive vice president of marketing for ABC Entertainment, told the AP these charities were chosen because they are connected to key storylines.

Feelings about the site range from thinking it is a great addition to the show to arguing that it goes too far:

  1. Mandy
