Thanks to the request for a two day credit for time already served (presumably in 2007 when she was arrested for the original D.U.I.) filed by her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, the incarcerated starlet is now expected to be released from jail by the end of the month. In other words, by the end of the upcoming week.

Lindsay was booked into the Lynwood Correctional Facility after turning herself in at the Beverly Hills Court House this past Tuesday. After calculating in credits for being a non-violent offender the actress’ sentence was estimated to last around 12 to 14 days, putting her release date around the 2nd or 3rd of August.

However, after the recent credits were granted for time already served, and rumors of additional credits for predicted good behavior have arisen, the starlet could be released as early as this weekend the site reports.

Despite sharing a cell-block with convicted felons and murderers, the actress’ lawyer reports that the Lindsay is actually dealing with her sentence quite well. During her first five days in jail she has received visits from her mother, Dina Lohan, and sister, Ali Lohan, as well as her ex-girlfriend, deejay Samantha Ronson.

Koo Hye-sun, one of South Korea’s top actresses, is enjoying a surge in popularity in Taiwan as a hallyu (Korean wave) star thanks to her starring role in the KBS-TV drama “Boys Over Flowers,” which closed in March.
YG Entertainment, Koo’s agency, said Friday that Koo is being wooed in Taiwan to appear in dramas and music videos.
Even before “Boys Over Flowers,” Koo won fame in Taiwan as she starred in hit dramas such as “The King and I” and “Pure in Heart.”

Koo received a warm welcome from Taiwanese fans during her visit last month.

"I hope I can personally witness and oversee the completion of the Bruce Lee museum in my lifetime," owner Yu Pang-lin, who is in his 80s, said at a press conference marking the 36th anniversary of Lee’s death.

Lee’s fans have been calling for an official monument for their hero in his hometown for years.

Lee became a chest-thumping source of Chinese pride by portraying characters that defended the Chinese and the working class from oppressors in films like "Return of the Dragon." He died in Hong Kong in 1973 at age 32 from swelling of the brain.

Yu said he wants the museum to include a memorial hall, a library, a kung fu studio and a film archive.

Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, and a panel of architects and town planners will judge the design competition, and the winners will be announced in November or December, the Hong Kong government said in a statement.

Yu has offered to donate Lee’s home and put up the HK$100,000 ($13,000) in prize money, but it is unclear how the museum itself will be funded.

Meanwhile, the Hong Kong government has started collecting Lee’s personal items and commissioned a documentary about the late actor and one about the construction of the museum, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Rita Lau said at Monday’s press conference.

Officials showed an 8-minute trailer of the biography produced by veteran Hong Kong director Ng See-yuen. It included interviews with "Mission: Impossible II" director John Woo; Lee’s frequent collaborator producer, Raymond Chow; Ip Chun, the eldest son of his kung fu teacher, Ip Man; and actress Betty Ting Pei — in whose home Lee died — as well as footage of Lee’s body in an open casket at his funeral.

The image is one of 10 prints of a nude Bruni lounging in an unmade bed captured by American fashion photographer Pamela Hanson in 1994.

The Villa Grisebach auction house appraised “Carla Bruni in Bed” at $3,568-$4,997 and talked to prospective buyers from as far away as Mexico, according to the house’s photography expert, Franziska Schmidt.

“I really don’t know why there is such a hype,” Schmidt said. “For us it is not the highlight.”

Last year, Christie’s auction house in New York sold a different nude print of Bruni for 30 times more than anticipated. An anonymous bidder paid $91,000 for the photograph.

Villa Grisebach would not provide any information on the winning bidder Thursday.

The new image of Prejean appeared Wednesday on the site TheDirty.com, flying in the face of Prejean’s assurances to pageant reps that the earlier photo was the only one.

The site has been down due to heavy traffic, but CNN reports the second image, like the first, shows Prejean in pink panties and no top, facing away from the camera.

Pageant officials met Tuesday after the first photo appeared to consider stripping Prejean of her Miss California USA title for keeping the photos a secret. Failure to disclose semi-nude photos is grounds for disqualification from the contest.

While the photos released so far appear no more revealing than the swimsuit Prejean wore on stage, Nik Richie, publisher of TheDirty.com, has indicated there are more to come.

Prejean’s publicist says Prejean posed for the photos when she was 17 in order to land a modeling job. Prejean herself defended the first image, saying, “I am a Christian, and I am a model … Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos.”

Prejean, whose anti-gay marriage comments during the Miss USA pageant thrust her into the national spotlight, may also have some explaining to do about a series of court documents from her parents’ messy, decade-long divorce proceedings.

The papers, dug up by TMZ.com, show that Prejean’s parents flung a series of homosexual allegations against one another.

In one of the documents, Prejean’s father describes a confrontation he had with her mother in 1996, in which “Ms. Prejean accused me, in front of our daughter, of homosexuality.”

Another excerpt quotes a court-appointed doctor who said “The mother questioned [within hearing of the girls] whether [her father] was a homosexual or had a homosexual roommate.”

Court papers dated May 16, 2000, include the following statement from a court-appointed counselor: “The mother also alleges the father told the girls their stepfather was gay, that all men with mustaches are gay.”

Prejean’s father “acknowledges talking with the girls about the stepfather’s brother being gay, not the stepfather,” said the papers.

Prejean has said she believes her gay marriage views cost her the crown. She has since signed on to star in a controversial National Organization for Marriage campaign supporting “opposite marriage.”

“Marriage is good,” Prejean said at a news conference announcing the ad campaign. “There is something special about unions of husband and wife. Unless we bring men and women together, children will not have mothers and fathers.”

O.J. Simpson’s off the list, but singer Dionne Warwick, actor Burt Reynolds, actor-comedian Sinbad and a prominent Los Angeles developer still make this year’s roll of California taxpayers with the largest delinquent income tax bills.

This year’s ranking includes 250 names. A few are famous or local notables, but most are low-profile individuals and businesses. Together they owe $143 million in back taxes, said Franchise Tax Board spokesman John Barrett.

State Controller John Chiang, who also is chairman of the Franchise Tax Board, said the annual list, intended to pressure those with large bills to pay up, represents only a fraction of the $6.5 billion in personal income taxes that go unpaid each year.

Simpson was on last year’s list, with a bill of $1.5 million. The onetime football great and actor was taken off this year’s list after being sentenced to at least nine years — and possibly up to 33 years — in prison in Nevada for his role in robbing a pair of memorabilia dealers.

Barrett declined to comment on details of individual tax cases, and Simpson’s attorney could not be reached.

In addition to paying the taxes, names can be removed for several reasons, including filing bankruptcy and arranging installment payments. Names also can be removed when officials deem the debt uncollectable.

The 2009 list includes Warwick, who owes $2.18 million, and Reynolds, who owes $225,000. Both of the obligations date to the 1990s, according to the board.

Warwick’s publicist, Kevin Sasaki, said in an e-mail that the singer has cooperated with the tax board and that a payment arrangement is “already in motion.”

A representative for Reynolds could not be reached for comment.

Sinbad, listed as Sinbad Adkins, of Oak Park, Ill., owes $2.5 million on a tax lien first filed in 2001. His publicist said he had no comment.

Also continuing on the list is Christopher Hammond, a developer and political fundraiser who successfully built low- income housing in Los Angeles.

But Hammond ran into financial and legal problems on a large, city-subsidized shopping center project near Baldwin Hills.

Two years ago, when the list showed him owing $231,000, Hammond told The Times that he had made $90,000 in payments and arranged to be taken off the list.

Now he owes $504,000, according to the state. Hammond could not be reached for comment.

Suleman told celebrity magazine Life & Style Weekly that she saved money for the procedures that cost about $6,000 each by working 16-hour days as a psychiatric technician.

When her aunt died, Suleman said she used an undisclosed portion of her $30,000 inheritance to conceive twins. Leftover eggs from that in vitro pregnancy were frozen until she used them to give birth to the octuplets.

Suleman did not give financial details about the octuplets, though in vitro fertilization using frozen eggs is generally cheaper.

“Maybe it was selfish; I’m the first to admit that. Maybe putting in all the eggs was a mistake, but all I’ve ever wanted is a huge family,” said Suleman, according to a transcript of the interview provided by the magazine.

After an on-the-job injury, Suleman collected more than $165,000 in state disability payments.

Suleman, 33, an unemployed single mother, has been trailed by the paparazzi and endured much public scorn in the weeks since the octuplets were born prematurely on Jan. 26.

In the interview, Suleman vowed to protect the identity of the sperm donor but said she would like him to be part of the children’s lives. She approached the donor several years ago to help her have children and “year after year, he kept helping me.”

She would not say whether they were lovers in the past but acknowledged the donor was upset when he found out she wanted more children after already having six.

“He was upset when I did it again. He said the same thing everyone else did: `You have six beautiful children – why do you want more?”‘ she recalled.

The issue containing the eight-page spread hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday and nationally on Friday. The interview was conducted Saturday at Suleman’s new home in La Habra.

Life and Style Weekly did not pay for the interview, said Letena Lindsay, vice president of corporate communications of Bauer Publishing Group, which publishes the magazine.

Suleman said the octuplet births were painful.

“With that many babies, it feels like your insides are being torn apart,” she said.

Seven of the eight babies have been discharged from the hospital. The last baby, Jonah, who was born with a small cleft on his lip, has to gain more weight before he can go home.

Shawn Chapman Holley, Lohan’s attorney, told the AP that the warrant was the result of a “misunderstanding.” The warrant may have to do with Lohan’s drunken driving arrest in 2007, a police spokeswoman told the AP.

On Saturday, Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said that the police were not ”actively looking” for Lohan, though if they came in contact with her, “she’s subject to arrest.” The star, whose film Labor Pains opens in May, is currently serving three years’ probation for the May and July, 2007 incidents, in which she was alleged to have been in possession of cocaine. In 2007, Lohan was sentenced to three-years probabtion.

She spent 84 minutes in jail. Her attorney told the AP that Lohan is in compliance with the terms of her probation.
