Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson took a break from all the fun they've been having lately to address comments Michael Lohan made in an E! News report about Sam planning  to pen a tell-all book.

Earlier this week, he told us, Sam’s “using my daughter. People never even knew who Samantha Ronson was until she met Lindsay. She was just some L.A. DJ.”

Not cool, Mike, according to Linds' blog: “He has become a public embaressment (sic) and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its obvious who that is).” His motivations are pretty obvi to her. It's all because of “an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME.”

Poor Linds was so upset she was even listening to her daddy-issues anthem “Confessions of a Broken Heart,"according to her MySpace profile. Probably on full blast while destroying an innocent room. Sam blogs after the jump...

Someone has taken Kate Moss' role as fashion's golden girl rather literally.

British sculpture artist Marc Quinn is ready to unveil his latest creation to the world, a nearly $2.8 million, 110-pound solid gold statue of the supermodel, hyped as the largest such creation built since ancient Egypt.

Quinn, the artist behind 2006's Sphinx, a painted bronze statue of Moss in a somewhat provocative yoga pose, has dubbed his new golden girl Siren.

And the British Museum has already heeded its call.

Shannen Doherty is Hollywood's original bad girl, but you wouldn't know it from the press she's doing lately—especially the latest Us Weekly cover story in which the actress insists she's found an "inner peace" and refuses to comment on her turbulent relationships with her former 90210 castmates.

This is not the exposé we Doherty devotees expected. Seriously, not even a tiny spat with her reunited costar, Jennie Garth? Au contraire, says the "grown up and evolved" Shannenbot.

What is going on? In her day, ShanDo put the antics of Young Hollywood to shame...

Brad Pitt thought his luggage felt a little light when he left Italy last summer.

In town to do some good and herald the premiere of his new film, Burn After Reading, the actor was unexpectedly presented Wednesday with the Best Actor trophy he won last year for The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford during the opening ceremony of the 65th Venice International Film Festival.

"You can run but you can't hide," Pitt said, accepting the engraved gold cup from the mistress of ceremonies, who also congratulated him on the twin additions to his family.

Saturday Night Live is looking to make a splash this season.

The aging sketch series has tapped Olympic golden boy Michael Phelps to host its 34th-season premiere Sept. 13 on NBC, which probably wouldn't mind basking in the glow from its history-making coverage of the Beijing Games a little longer.

Aside from all the commercials and inevitable talk show spots, this will be the first "acting" role for Phelps, whose world-record-smashing, eight-gold-medal-winning performance at the Summer Olympics made him the poster boy of U.S. swimming for generations to come and won him the hearts of millions of admiring fans.

Samantha Ronson may be spending most of her time making headlines with a Razzie winner, but soon she's going to be spending at least one night with the possessor of a more prestigious piece of hardware.

The celebrity spinner has been tapped to get the VIP crowd primed for Oscar winner Julia Roberts and the Dave Matthews Band, who will be taking the stage Sept. 10 at Madison Square Garden as part of the Stand Up for a Cure's 2008 concert series.

The charity, which raises money for lung cancer research and treatment, confirmed Wednesday that Ronson would be deejaying the preshow party and Roberts has signed on to host the event.

"We are thrilled at the range of artists who have opted to shine a light on the need for funding and awareness this year," Stand Up for a Cure founder and executive producer Jordan Belkin said.

And these were obvious choices all around: Roberts will be there to give the cause a world-class face and no one knows more about finding a glimmer of hope where none existed before than Ronson.
