Ashley Tisdale Hits Winter Wonderland, Talks New Nose
Ashley Tisdale Hits Winter Wonderland, Talks New Nose
Ashley Tisdale was spotted hamming it up for the cameras at Winter Wonderland last night. The High School Musical hottie was joined by co-star Corbin Bleu at the festive event.
Meanwhile, the hot topic in Tisdale’s world as of late is her new nose. And she’s finding herself doing a lot of explaining.
Due to complications in the recovery process, her rhinoplasty surgery has caused her to miss the last couple shows in Miami and Philadelphia. Ashley recently explained the whole ordeal in a posting on her web site.
She wrote, “When my surgery was scheduled, we didn’t think it would be necessary to cancel the shows because my doctor thought I would heal in time. Unfortunately, the deviated septum was more significant than we originally thought so the healing process is taking longer.”
Tisdale was careful to note that she indeed flew in for the gigs, but when it came show time, she, “had to make the difficult decision to cancel the appearances.”
Lohan Divorce a Done Deal
That's one down.
The Lohans were able to cross one of their long pending legal obligations off the family docket Friday as Lindsay's parents, Dina and Michael, finally reached a settlement in their acrimonious divorce.
"Mr. and Mrs. Lohan, you have both demonstrated to me extraordinarily good judgment in resolving the matter as you did," Judge Robert Ross of the Nassau County Matrimonial Center told the ex-couple.
The split is expected to be made official within 90 days, depending on how soon the formal documents are filed and processed by the courthouse. Financial terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
"Now, the healing process can begin for myself and my children," Dina told reporters outside the courthouse. She also said that Lindsay, recently photographed walking and biking near the grounds of the Cirque Lodge rehab center in Park City, Utah, was doing "fantastic."
As is the family's troubled patriarch.
"I thank God it's finished," Michael said after the hearing. "I wish Dina the best, and I hope we can both move forward and put our best foot forward for the kids' sake and just be good parents."
The settlement comes a week after the Lohans' last court appearance, at which time they promised the judge that a deal would be hashed out by today. At the time, both sides said some "minor details" were all that remained but did not reveal the nature of the hangups during the closed-door court session.
While all that stands between Dina and Michael's singleton status is a court stamp or two, the potentially tricky issue of custody still needs to be worked out.
Under New York law, divorce and custody issue are handled by different juridictions. While the former couple have concluded their business in the state supreme court, they still have to appear in family court next month to determine visitation and custody of their two minor children, 13-year-old Aliana and 11-year-old Dakota.
In previous hearings, the judge in that case, Stacy Bennett, ordered Michael to get a job and start forking over $500 a week in child support. (Lindsay, 21, and her brother Michael, 19, are no longer minors and are not part of the custody discussions.) The children were not mentioned in the Matrimonial Center hearing Friday.
Last week, Ross reportedly granted Michael visitation privileges for his two youngest children, provided a pastor and no less than two lawyers are on hand to supervise. Michael has been living at the Christian-based drug and rehabilitation center Teen Challenge since getting sprung from prison in March and , his lawyer told People, has not seen any of his children in more than three years. (Michael and Dina were close to a settlement in 2005, before his legal troubles, including repeated DUIs and assault charges, landed him behind bars.)
It's unclear if Bennett will make changes to this arrangement next month, but she should have a report from the family therapist the judge assigned to evaluate the elder Lohan.
Dina and Michael are due back in family court for a hearing on the matter Sept. 6, by which time Michael is expected to have had his first visit with his minor offspring.
Lindsay, meanwhile, is due to appear in courtrooms in both Santa Monica and Beverly Hills for her dual DUI cases Aug. 24.
Lindsay Lohan Acts Up In Rehab, Says “Yes” To Dad
Lindsay Lohan Acts Up In Rehab, Says “Yes” To Dad
Lindsay Lohan is making headlines for all the wrong reasons… again. The latest rumors claim that the Georgia Rule starlet has been stirring up trouble while stowed away at her Utah Mormon rehab facility.
First off, Lindsay apparently was suspected of taking drugs while in the midst of her treatment program. An insider reports: “Lindsay got called into the director’s office on August 15 and was questioned about drugs.”
The source continued, “When ordered to take a drug test, she reluctantly complied but screamed and cursed at the medical director before storming out the room. She was told that if she couldn’t conform to the program she’d have to leave.”
And it doesn’t end there. Besides the drug use allegations, Lindsay also is said to have been caught having sex in the bathroom with a fellow rehab patient. Sounds as if the program really does work.
In other Lindsay news, the “I Know Who Killed Me” actress has agreed to see her father, Michael Lohan, for the first time in years. Dina Lohan, Lindsay’s mom, went to court to undo a restraining order against Michael so that he could legally go near his daughter without ending up in the courtroom beside her.
Speaking of the decision to let Papa Lohan visit, a friend said, “It’s a part of the healing process. Lindsay will see him later this week, but she will have counselors with her. It will not be alone. Dina thinks it is a good idea. Lindsay needs to deal with this and needs closure.”
Divorce Finalized For Lindsay Lohan’s Parents
Divorce Finalized For Lindsay Lohan’s Parents
It’s finally over… in court, at least. Lindsay Lohan’s parents, Michael and Dina, have reached a compromise in their legal battle to get divorced.
And it was a good day, according to the judge. He told the constantly-feuding ex-couple, “You have both demonstrated to me extraordinarily good judgment in resolving this matter as you did.”
Although the specific terms of the agreement haven’t been disclosed, Dina has retained custody of Aliana and Dakota, ages 13 and 10 respectively. According to the relieved mother, “Now the healing process can begin for my children and myself.”
Even LiLo’s usually-outspoken father Michael had good things to say after the proceedings. “I wish Dina the best and I hope we can both move forward and put our best foot forward for the kids’ sake and just be good parents,” he told press outside the courthouse.
