Lindsay 'Skips' Grandpa's Wake

lohan__opt1.jpg

We're waiting for Michael Lohan's next pop at his daughter Lindsay and her g.f. saMAN Ronson.

According to reports, LezLo skipped her grandfather's wake in Long Island this weekend to shop and hang out in Manhattan with saMAN.

We assume Daddy Lohan had his paparazzi partners in the bushes at the wake waiting for LezLo so they could capture some bankable shots.

Do you think Lindz should've showed up to pay respects, even if her fame-whore dad probably would've made it a spectacle?

Michael Lohan's Dad Dies - HE Continues To Hurt His Family!

wenn1947273.jpg

This really is low - even for him!

Whilst he is in the middle of a nasty war with his daughter….

Michael Lohan's father sadly passed away on Thursday.

And, what's the first thing Famewhoring Poppa does????

He releases a statement to OK! magazine.

Are they paying him????

Says Michael:

"My father just, literally, died in my arms. I notified all my kids and my lawyer notified Dina's attorney. Let's see if she has the decency and respect to bring my kids to the wake and funeral. THIS will show her true colors! Thus, not even a call. But that's par for the course with Dina! She didn't even send a card or visit when he was sick."

It takes a lot to shock us, but this does it.

Not only is it shocking, but it's disgusting too!

Instead of giving statements to the media and attacking his ex-wife, Michael Lohan should be mourning the loss of his father and NOT turning his death into a media circus!!!

One of the stars of the popular Australian show All Saints was found dead by authorities on Wednesday.

Actor Mark Priestley reportedly committed suicide by jumping off a Sydney building.

A spokeswoman for the show said the cast is a "very close, tight-knit group". They were informed on set and filming was called off for the day. "They were devastated so we closed the set immediately as people were trying to come to terms with the tragedy," says the rep.

Priestley was known to be fighting depression.

Sad, sad.

Remember, there's always someone to turn to if you're in trouble.

Suicide is never the answer.

Lesbian activist and same-sex marriage pioneer Del Martin (above Left) passed away on Wednesday.

She was 87 years young.

In July, we wrote about Dale's marriage to her longtime partner, Phyllis Lyon.

In 1955, Martin and Lyon co-founded the nation's first outspoken advocacy group for lesbians, the Daughters of Bilitis.

Del died at a San Francisco hospital Wednesday morning, two weeks after a broken arm exacerbated her existing health problems.

Her wife was by her side.

So sad.

A Settlement is Near

Money always brings the crazy out of people!

The King of Soul will finally be able to rest in peace.

According to a new report, several attorneys involved in the legal battle over James Brown’s estate says they’re nearing a settlement in the dispute over who gets what of the late singer's fortune.

An attorney for some of the Godfather of Soul's adult children says the settlement will end much of the infighting that’s powered some dramalicious courtroom hearings.

However, the source could not provide specifics on the settlement talks, citing a confidentiality agreement.

There's also a new twist to the saga.

A man who claims to be Brown’s half brother says he’ll undergo a DNA test this week to prove his link to James.

If it's money he's after he needs lots of luck. James' kids don't seem to be the sharing type!

More sad news.

Famed makeup artist Paul Starr has passed away.

He was only 48 years old.

Starr had more than 20 years of experience and had worked with some of the largest fashion designers, such as Dolce & Gabbana and Paul Gaultier.

He also worked with some of the top fashion photographers and movie directors like Tim Burton and Spike Lee. And he did makeup for several celebs, like Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Garner.

Unfortunately, Starr was found dead in his apartment in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Few details have been released as of yet, but a friend of Starr's says he hadn't heard from him in several days.

After non-stop knocking on his door, they finally broke it open. That's when they found his dead body.

However, a cause is still not known.

Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.
