Naomi Judd Responds to Ashley Judd Memoir
Country music legend Naomi Judd was not a picture-perfect mom.
That much is obvious from Ashley Judd’s allegations of incest and sexual abuse suffered as a child. Not by Naomi, per se, but on her train wreck mom’s watch.
“I will probably get around to reading it, because as a mom, I certainly want to honor her reality,” Naomi says of Ashley’s memoir, All That is Bitter and Sweet.
“I was horrible,” Naomi said. “I didn’t know any better.”
Ashley Judd’s book alleges a childhood of “trauma, abandonment, addiction and shame,” and does not mince words about her family’s role in all of the

Last month, we reported that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills would be back for a second season, with the whole cast returning for all the fun.
Might the second half of that statement have been premature?
Kyle Richards, a.k.a. the gorgeous, normal and happy one (relatively speaking) is hinting at an early exit from the Bravo franchise, according to EW.

Prosecution Strategy in Lindsay Lohan Case: What a Klepto!
Lindsay Lohan has a long history of shady behavior, including stealing.
That’s what the L.A. District Attorney will try to convince a judge and jury in the star’s upcoming felony grand theft trial, provided the train wreck doesn’t accept a plea deal that will send her to jail for a negligible amount of time.
If she does decide to take her chances at trial, Lohan, who stands accused of ganking a $2,500 necklace, can expect D.A. Danette Myers to provide a nice rundown of the past incidents in which Lindsay has been accused of such things.

Glimmer of Hope: Jewelry Store Surveillance Tape Backs Up Lindsay Lohan Story
Who knows if it will persuade the D.A., but a surveillance video at least partially backs up Lindsay Lohan’s account of her infamous, alleged jewel thievery.
The accused felon was in no hurry to bolt Kamofie & Company the day she allegedly ganked the thing, blabbing with the owner for a bit before peacing out.
According to sources who have watched the tape, Lohan wore the $2,500 necklace she’s accused of stealing almost the entire time she was in the store.

Lindsay Lohan Dodges Bullet, Sent Back to Rehab
Lindsay Lohan dodged a major bullet this morning when Judge Elden Fox ordered her back to rehab until at least January 3, but spared her more jail time.
The troubled star is due back in court February 25, and will be subject to random drug testing in between her release from rehab until that court date.
If Lindsay does not test positive for drugs or alcohol, her sentence will be converted to unsupervised probation. So if she stays clean, problem solved.
