Some mothers do ‘ave ’em

You would have thought that Lindsey Lohan’s mum would be a little suspicious of the whole showbiz tread mill what with her daughter checking into rehab for a month. But no, she’s in talks to put her two younger children—aged 11 and 14—on a reality show in which she’ll try and turn them into tabloid fodder, or depending on your point of view young starlets with a great future ahead of them.

Also in celebrity land, one has to love the fact that the LAPD mug shot of Paris Hilton looks like a typical modelling shot. For the next 23 days, the outside world will be a Hilton-free-zone. Enjoy this while it lasts because once she’s out there’ll be no escaping her what with the prison diaries, the talk show appearances etc, etc..
