The imbeciles of “Jersey Shore” are set for another season to begin shooting this summer, with Snooki pregnant and craving pickles and ice cream, and oh, wait, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is in rehab. TMZ reports that he’s been sweaty and jittery of late.
Perhaps we can hope for a meth lab explosion in the house!

No, that’s not Lindsay Lohan surveying the wreckage of her career… that’s Lori Hall looking for items to salvage in what’s left of the home of her aunt and uncle after it was leveled by a twister in Henryville, Indiana.

Lindsay Lohan is sober, but she doesn’t know how long it’s been, and she’s ready to host “SNL” this weekend. Lohan, 52, looks ready for the task, and has learned something about keeping up appearances by working in the L.A. County Morgue.
She looks remarkably alive.

Oh the horror of it all. Demi Moore, who hasn’t eaten since 2011, is now hospitalized after a bad reaction to nitrous oxide. If you’re going to use whip-its at age 49, you really should consider at least a nutritional breakfast. Or a power snack.
Meanwhile, Ashton is caught in a flood while visiting with models in Sao Paulo. That can’t be fun. Having your pick of the most beautiful women while nearly 40% of Brazil lives below the poverty line has to put a crimp in your biscuit.
Breaking up is hard to do.

Today’s Thursday Face (Friday has been cancelled) (and body) belongs to Sterling Hayden.
An actor who would have preferred to just hang out on boats, he traveled the seas of such far-flung places as Tahiti and Iceland.
Legend has it that someone spotted him in a magazine, and he ended up in Hollywood, making his film debut in 1941 with Fred MacMurray and Madeleine Carroll, whom he would later marry and divorce.
Hayden became a staple of Westerns and Film Noir, with a breakthrough performance in 1950′s “Asphalt Jungle.”
He married actress Betty deNoon and had a bunch of kids.
He worked with Bette Davis in the forgettable “The Star” …
He ratted out colleagues to the HUAC.
I just like this pic of him in his pajamas… that’s Gloria Grahame… you may remember her as Violet Bick in “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
Booze caught up with him. And pot and hash. He was arrested in Canada with hash.
He appeared in “Dr. Strangelove,” “The Godfather,” and kept working, living in Sausalito. He died of cancer in 1986, leaving his third wife and six children.
Here he is in one of my favorites… with Joan Crawford in “Johnny Guitar.” Subtitles are added so you can understand what they’re saying. (?)

Ding dang, Britney Spears is 30 today, and for her sheer wonderfulness as a pop culture star, she’s today’s Friday Face.
Born in Mississippi in 1981, she rose to prominence with the vomit-worthy “Baby One More Time” and the sickening “Oops, I Did It Again.” Little did we know that these would become mottoes for the public meltdown she would undergo as a result of drugs and bipolar disorder.
She has inexplicably sold over 100 million albums. Her net worth was recently estimated at $155 million. She remains under conservatorship.
For her resilience, strength and fabulosity, and in honor of her 30th birthday, Britney Spears is today’s Friday Face, y’all.

in drugs, lookalikes
Quack Conrad Murray was found guilty of permanently putting Michael Jackson to sleep by giving the emaciated superstar propofol and then leaving the room to chat with his girlfriends. Now he’ll likely do some bullshit house arrest because of prison overcrowding, no priors, and him not being a “violent offender.”
There’s only one hero in this story… and that’s Nurse Cherilyn Lee.
Nurse Lee declined when Jackson asked her directly to give him propofol, fully aware that it was not something to fool around with… and she refused and warned Jackson that he could wake up dead if he messed with that. She was right.
Four days before his death, Jackson told her his body was half cold and half hot, she told him to go immediately to the hospital. He didn’t. He had been receiving propofol for two months… daily.
Was Lee the ONLY person who could say no to Michael Jackson?
In the coverage since his death, it appears that Janet Jackson tried to hold an intervention regarding Michael’s drug addiction, long before his death, but it never happened.
They left him alone.
