An outside view of Cirque Lodge in Orem, Utah where Lindsay Lohan is reportedly receiving rehab treatment.

Lindsay Lohan’s currently spending time time in rehab at a Mormon-run facility in Orem, Utah. Just last month, homegirl was allegedly drunkenly speeding through the streets of Los Angeles, boasting that she couldn’t get in trouble because she’s famous. She’s currently a part of a 12-step problem over at Cirque Lodge where she’s reportedly cleaning bathrooms, washing dishes, and doing laundry. TMZ.com said Lindsay is sharing a room with two patients, in addition to getting intense psychological help and “other medical treatment.” One insider says Lohan said the center is “lifesaving.” But I hear the place is pretty nice! It costs about $30,000 for a 30-day stay and offers a steak-and-salmon menu, breathtaking views, and Jacuzzi tubs. Hope this works out for her, because this girl is damn near the deep end if you know what I’m saying!

Black top models Tyra Banks, Iman, Kimora Lee Simmons, and Alek Wek cover the September 2007 issue of EBONY Magazine. This particular issue celebrates black supermodels and features 50 pages of fashion, and 50 years of EBONY fashion fair.

Here are Cassie’s smoking hot photos from her part of the issue of Complex Magazine! Her feature talks about her still untitled sophomore album, and why she’s going at it a second time around … even though we all know she completely bombed it the first time around! Hah! Anyhow, check out a snippet from the interview. You can check out the full thing HERE, and check out the rest of her sexy photos after the cut! She’s a wonder to look at, but I wouldn’t particularly want to listen to her sing and make a fool of herself on stage =X

What’s the most hurtful thing that was said?
That I slept my way into the industry. I think that’s really vicious. If it had nothing to do with talent, at least it had something to do with charm. But it was never jumping into bed with somebody. That’s just gross. As far as people saying I couldn’t sing, I did a bad job so I couldn’t hate. I was in a tough place for a second. I got really sick and was in the hospital in like November or December. It was stress and exhaustion, and I ended up going home to Connecticut. [Puffy] actually called me up when I was at home and asked me what I wanted to do. I was like, “I want to do another album.”

So there’s no truth to the rumors that you were involved with Diddy or your producer Ryan Leslie…
They have no root. Somebody just starts it. “Cassie’s pregnant with somebody’s baby.” Sites saying they heard from a specific source. [Laughs] I read this thing where Beyoncé’s like, “I haven’t looked online in seven years to read about myself. That’s how I keep going. Nothing can pull me back into that matrix.” That’s a good situation. But for me, that’s where I connected first, so I can’t leave that behind. I don’t read celebrity blogs, but I like Perez Hilton when I do.

Ray Lavender aka “Ray-L” is a contemporary R&B singer who hails from Atlanta, Georgia and is currently signed to Akon’s record label Kon Live Distribution. His debut single “My Girl Gotta Girlfriend” from the album X-Rayted, slated to release later this Fall, has made such a marketable impact I just had to feature him as a new artist. They blow this song up crazy down here, so it’s nice to finally see the guy behind the song, and no T-Pain is not featured nor does he have a similar song out like this.

I know some of ya’ll heard some rumors that Brooke Valentine was let go by her label, Virgin Records, recently. Here is what she had to say about the falsehood of rumors via MySpace:

Okay true I haven’t logged in, due to the fact that I’ve been extra go-go!

Sorry for the delay:)
and special thanks to those that have been sending their love! I still read the comments daily:)

However I just had to login and straighten up a false rumor that I was dropped from my label LOL! 1st off the label that I am signed to is SUBLIMINAL ENTERTAINMENT which was distributed by Virgin Records and Virgin was responsible for marketing and promoting my records…
News Flash: I am still signed to Subliminal I’ve been fighting for a release from Virgin for a long time! and it’s no secret that they suck!

The reason my album wasn’t released was because we refused to turn the album in to Virgin Records knowing that they would just drop the ball just like they did Janet’s album and every other album they released:(

Now after all this time God answered my prayers.
I wanted to tell yall sooner but, I couldn’t speak on it because of legal mumbo jumbo… it didn’t come cheap but, it was well worth it in the end. It was so sweet that some of you felt sorry for me but, please don’t because I couldn’t be more excited with my new situation and it’s a true blessing to finally be free!
Thanks again for your real love and support!

P.S. …And I’m definitely coming!!!!!

Well I’m glad she cleared that up, and yes, I do agree with that comment on Virgin Records – LOL! I think Brooke has a lot of great potential, Chain Letter was highly underrated man, but because of Virgin’s non-promoting asses it didn’t do well as planned.

Whitney and Bobby (dang, I miss that show) were spotted hanging out Tuesday at Joe’s Crab Shack in Alpharetta, Georgia. Is it just me? Or do those two look completely BLAZED?! Whitney has completely let herself go … who let her leave the house like that? Anyhow, Joe’s Crab Shack told TMZ that Whitney and Bobby “sat at table 103 and had a good time.” I bet they did! I’ve been to Joe’s Crab Shack on several occasions and the energy in that place is crazy! So it would, indeed, be the perfect place to go to when you’re high =)

50 Cent tells SOHH.com, the internet’s longest running and leading hip-hop website with over 4.5 million visitors a month, exclusively: “Let’s raise the stakes. If Kanye West sells more records than 50 Cent on September 11, I’ll no longer write music. I’ll write music and work with my other artists, but I won’t put out any more solo albums.” That sounds like a challenge to me! Now, think about it … imagine a world without 50 Cent. Wouldn’t that be nice?? Hell, instead of buying 2, I think I might end up buying 5 at the store, and 5 from iTunes. Sounds like a plan to me! Do your part too. You don’t have to buy 10 Kanye albums like me (lol), but at least buy ONE! YOU CAN END 50 CENT’S SOLO CAREER!!!
