Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is returning to ABC on September 26 at 8 pm on ABC.  This season presents a new designer and it’s a familiar face in the reality TV circle.

The Bachelorette’s Jillian Harris is going to use her amazing eye and decorating skills to help out the less fortunate.  She and the team of builders and designers will be helping kids from the Boys Hope/Girls Hope program of Baltimore for the premiere episode.

ANOTHER Bachelorette Break Up – Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski SPLIT

Jilly talked to L&S about this episode in particular,

“This episode was such a huge one for me.  I was going through a few personal struggles at the time of filming but had a huge wake-up call when I learned of one of the family’s stories. It really hit home for me that life is so short and you can lose the one you love in the blink of an eye.”

That is really cool.   I know that this is a great opportunity for Jillian in her career, but it really means a lot to the people she is helping and that makes all the difference in the world.

Justice of the Peace Joe Bonaventure and Paris Hilton will face off on Monday morning when she enters her guilty plea following her arrest in Las Vegas for cocaine possession.  She is set to be given one year of probation.

Nevada’s Clark County District Attorney David Roger said,

“We fashioned a resolution which would give us complete control over her future. If she does not toe the line and stay out of trouble she will do one year in the Clark County Detention Center.”

Now Paris had better stay completely out of trouble, because if she is arrested during her probation period, she will be sent to jail immediately, for a full year. (yeah right)

Paris’ plea deal states,

“Defendant shall stay out of trouble. Defendant agrees that an arrest for any charge, excluding minor traffic violations for which a citation is issued, shall result in the immediate termination of her probation and the execution of the suspended sentences.”

Along with her year of probation, Paris must complete a drug abuse program, pay a $2,000 fine and serve 200 hours of community service.

Now that’s not getting off easy really.  I think that jail wouldn’t really matter.  This plea deal is a good thing.  Or do you disagree?  Should Paris go to jail?  What kind of community service do you think is appropriate for Paris?

Courtney Love does a lot of crazy, attention grabbing things.  Sometimes all that would be is going out in public or getting in front of the cameras.  Sometimes her Twitter blabs are full on insanity.

Freak Of The Week: Courtney Love

Well, last week Love was performing in NYC at  the DeLeón Tequila Rock Lounge when she decided to cover Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance.

She concluded with,

“Done! Thank you! Never ever again, so I hope it was good for you!”

You can check out the performance below, but beware that it’s NSFW for the ears….. (Read the article)

Why?  Why did Lindsay Lohan have to fail?  Why did she choose the same, “bad” crowd to surround herself with as soon as she left rehab?  Honestly, it’s was like shooting herself in the foot.  Failing two drugs tests?!

The minute LiLo stepped out of rehab, great opportunities started flying at her.  She was going to be finishing up her Inferno movie, singed a deal with SNL to host, lined up an interview with Oprah, made a quick appearance at the VMAs…..the list goes on.  Lindsay is obviously not taking any of this seriously and is throwing it all away to get high.  Really?!  Was there no lesson learned in jail or rehab?  First step: don’t hang with the same trouble makers!  Ugh!  I am quite certain there are plenty of CLEAN people that would love to spend time with her and be her friends.  Geeze……..

Lindsay Lohan Is Stunning For Vanity Fair – October 2010 – Photos, Video

Now that Lindsay is likely to go back to jail for the failed drugs tests, she’s going to miss out on some of these great opportunities.  The judge isn’t likely to let Lohan leave California to finish Inferno in Louisiana.  Plus, SNL is shot in NYC.  Good luck with that.

I have been supporting Lindsay through this entire mess, trying to stay positive and believe that she could rise above.  This major fail (times 2) is making it really difficult to keep the faith.  But that’s exactly what Lindsay is asking her fans to do.  Lindsay Lohan made an extensive statement through her Twitter,

Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test and if I am asked, I am prepared to appear before judge Fox next week as a result.  Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward every day. I am testing every single day and doing what I must do to prevent any mishaps in the future.  This was certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I’m prepared to face the consequences.  I am so thankful for the support of my fans, loved ones and immediate family, who understand that i am trying hard, but also that I am a work in progress, just as anyone else. I am keeping my faith, and I am hopeful….Thank you all!!!

Could someone please get rid of these crappy people in Lindsay’s life that are enabling her down that ugly path?  She needs intense support.

Good luck Lindsay.  I am still in your corner girl.

Jessica Simpson is head over heals for her man, Eric Johnson and it shows.  Every time we see her, she’s glowing.  Good for her!  So what’s she up to these days when she’s not engrossed in heavy PDA sessions with Eric?

Jessica Simpson Wears The WRONG Dress For Project Runway Finale

She working on her upcoming Christmas album.  She’s landed Andrea Bocelli and Willie Nelson some tracks.  Sweet!  The cherry on top for me though, is that she’s reaching out to the soldiers overseas.  An L&S insider said,

“Plus, one lucky U.S. soldier in Afghanistan will get to sing a duet with her.  They’ll sing ‘I’ll Be Home for Christmas.’”

Jessica Simpson Says Dieting Has “Nothing To Do With Weight”

Jessica’s  producers are The-Dream and Tricky Stewart.  This is going to be a great team and I will definitely be grabbing a copy of this album.
