The Dina Lohan interview with Dr. Phil aired yesterday and oh my goodness it was a mess!  Dina was absolutely bizarre.  I’m no professional, but I’d say she was high or drunk or something.  It was absolutely painful to watch.  Here’s an example of what I mean.  Dr. Phil started off by asking her to be honest, and she pretty much started talking nonsense from the get go.  It just got worse and worse.  It was a total disaster.  At the end of the show Dr. Phil had Dina’s ex, Michael on and he told Phil he believed Dina mixed alcohol with prescription medication before the interview.

Check out some video from the interview here:

According to my source when Maria Shriver found out that Arnold Schwarzenegger had fathered a child with their maid, Arnold told a neighbor, quote, "I think things will work out ok with Maria, but if they don't, I'm getting me a 20-year-old honey."  This same source claims Arnold refused to go to counseling, and was actually surprised that Maria didn't just forgive him.  He also refused to move out of their house, forcing Maria to stay at a hotel.

Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are already getting snippy with each other on the set of American Idol. I guess Mariah interrupted Nicki every time she tried to critique a contestant. Nicki just started talking over Mariah so she could complete her thoughts.  Apparently Mariah is demanding respect.  She feels she’s the only real talent on the show because she worked her ass off her entire life and made it during an era of real talent, not commercialized, over processed garbage. 

Kanye West is planning on taking Kim Kardashian to a private Turks and Caicos island for her birthday. “Kim has been really down about turning 32 and having two failed marriages behind her and no children, so he wants to make this extra-special. Plus it’s her first birthday since they’ve been together as a couple. Kanye has never been shy of splashing out on the women he loves, but this time he’s pulling out all the stops with presents.”  Of course Kim bought Kanye a $750,000 Lamborghini for his 35th birthday in June so she set the bar pretty high.

Today, it has become a little clearer why Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean can't patch things up and get the Fugees back together. It turns out their problems run a little deeper than we knew.  In his upcoming autobiography "Purpose: An Immigrant's Story", Wyclef reveals that he and Lauryn were having an affair before the Fugees broke up. (Wyclef was married at the time. Lauryn was not.)  But it ended because she lied and told him he was the father of her first child. The boy's real father is Bob Marley’s son Rohan.  Wyclef says, quote, "In that moment something died between us. I was married and Lauryn and I were having an affair, but she led me to believe that the baby was mine, and I couldn't forgive that.  She could [no] longer be my muse. Our love spell was broken."

My source tells me Jessica Simpson is thinking about lipo, quote, “Jessica is working hard to stay focused and keep up her willpower. She does a good job dieting most days. She follows her diet points, exercises and tries to get her brain into the diet zone. But it’s not always easy. Privately, Jess has mo¬ments when she’s so distraught that she tells pals if she doesn’t lose more weight by counting calories, she’ll have liposuction when her Weight Watchers contract is up. She’s never been into exercise, so the killer workouts are especially grueling for her. And for someone who gorges on fried chicken skin and mac and cheese and who thinks butter is one of the major food groups, the diet has been the hardest work of Jess’ life.''

Believe it or not Brad Pitt loves cleaning.  My source tells me, ''Brad has always been an attentive father, but recently he's becoming more domesticated, too. The couple have a lot of help around the home, but Brad's started getting quite into sorting out the washing and doing the ironing himself. He's been pottering around the house a bit while Ange is away, and it helps to keep him occupied. He likes nothing more than doing a bit of housework before getting the kids to help him prepare dinner, which they love. He's turned into a right Mr. Muscle. He's also been going to the local supermarket, and runs errands to the local dry cleaners.''
