Mischa Barton in hospital dash


Actress Mischa Barton, former star of the hit television series "The O.C.," was taken to a Los Angeles hospital after suffering a reaction to medication, the celebrity news Web site TMZ.com reported on Monday.

Barton had been taking antibiotics for bronchitis she contracted during travels to Cannes, London and Paris in recent weeks and suffered the adverse reaction after drinking alcohol at a party over the weekend, the Web site said.

The 21-year-old Barton, who was born in London and grew up in New York, was "resting comfortably" with family on Monday, it said.

Lindsay Lohan seen slumped in passenger seat of car, in photos posted on website


Lindsay Lohan, who was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday in Beverly Hills, Calif., was photographed less than 48 hours later slumped in the passenger seat of a car.

Web site X17online.com posted the photos Monday, which it said were taken early that morning at a gas station after the 20-year-old actress left the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, Calif., with a girlfriend.

The photos show Lohan, wearing a grey hooded sweat shirt, with her mouth open and her eyes shut, apparently asleep. Another photo shows her kneeling on the ground, her back to the camera, apparently before getting into the vehicle.

Leslie Sloane Zelnik, Lohan's publicist, didn't return repeated phone calls and e-mail messages from The Associated Press seeking comment.

Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday after her convertible struck a curb in Beverly Hills, and investigators found what they believe is cocaine at the scene, police said.

The actress and two other people were riding in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m., Sgt. Mike Foxen said. It appeared Lohan was speeding, Lt. Mitch McCann said at an afternoon news conference.

Officers at the scene found a "usable amount" of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine, McCann said. He declined to say where the drug was found other than to say Lohan wasn't carrying it.

Lohan, who spent time at a rehabilitation centre earlier this year, was driven in another car to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, McCann said.

McCann declined to comment on her blood-alcohol level. He said the case will be presented to the District Attorney's Office where Lohan could face more charges, including felonies. Her tentative arraignment date is Aug. 24.

Lohan said in January that she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment. Her publicist confirmed in December that the actress was attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

She told Allure magazine during an interview for its May issue that she decided to enter the secluded Wonderland Center at the suggestion of her therapist.

Her latest movie, "Georgia Rule," is in theatres. Her other screen credits include "Mean Girls," "Bobby," "A Prairie Home Companion" and "Freaky Friday."

Ashley Judd’s Hubby Dario Franchitti Wins Indianapolis 500


Ashley Judd’s husband, race car driver Dario Franchitti, won the 91st Indianapolis 500 speedway contest on May 27.

Franchitti, who has been married to Judd for six years, beat dozens of other drivers to take the win in a slightly shortened race, which ended 85 miles short due to an uncontrollable rainstorm.

"The ups and downs throughout the day – what can I say? I'm in shock right now – it's been a rollercoaster month, and it was a rollercoaster day,” People quoted Franchitti, as saying.

The Indy win was one of the biggest triumphs of Franchitti’s career, and it was the second win for his team in nearly three years.

"It was going to come down to a dogfight, and there's a lot of strong cars. Whatever happened, if it came down to that dogfight, it was going to be hard, so I was hoping for the rain,” he said.

Lily Allen Was Kicked Out Of School For Sexual Services


Lily Allen was kicked out of school as a teenager when teachers caught her performing fellatio on her classmates. The bawdy Brit hasn't been shy when it comes to talking about her troublesome schooldays, but in a new Rolling Stone interview she has revealed just how far she went.

She tells the magazine, "I was doing things with boys that I shouldn't have been doing at such a young age... I was doing blow-jobs... I don't want to go into it. It was not good."

But she insists that although the sexual servicing upset teachers at her school, her parents weren't bothered when the authorities alerted them to Allen's scandalous behavior.

She adds, "They didn't care... They're products of the 60s, they're bang up for a bit of that."
