Tara Conner isn't the only alcoholic on the path to recovery.

This, of course, is coming from the warped mouth of Dina Lohan. So take it for what it is.

Nevertheless, less than a month after entering rehab, Lindsay Lohan is "doing great," her mother told People magazine.

"She's amazing. She's great and she's happy," Dina said Friday at the Child magazine fall 2007 fashion show in New York City. "She's in a really good space right now."

And there's a good chance Brody Jenner is lying there naked next to her.

In December, Lindsay had revealed that she had been attending Alcoholic Anonymous, and later that month told People, "I feel better not drinking. It's more fun."

Eventually, however, it's safe to assume Lohan will need to find a new way to land in the spotlight. Could she follow the path of Kim Kardashian and release a sex tape?

Is there really any doubt?

Reactions about the sudden death of Anna Nicole Smith continue to pour in.

As reports surface that daughter Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern might now  be a billionaire, friends of the deceased model are in tears. So are supposed fathers, of course, as Larry Birkhead has proven.

Below is a clip of former WWE star, Chyna. Her real name is Joanie Laurer and her reaction to Anna's death appears sincere. At least more sincere than the claim of Prince Frederick von Anhalt that he is actually the daddy of Dannielynn.

It's gonna be difficult for Anna Nicole Smith to rest in peace when so many men are fighting for the paternity of her daughter.

As if Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead weren't debating this issue seriously enough, apparently Prince Frederick von Anhalt, 64, husband of actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, told the AP that he had a decade-long affair with Anna ...

... and that he might be the father of her 5-month old daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern.

Prince Frederick von Anhalt said:

"If you go back from September, she wasn't with one of those guys, she was with me."

He says he will file a lawsuit if custody of Dannielynn is turned over to Stern or Birkhead.

Meanwhile, if Prince von Anhalt is the father, that makes Dannielynn the step great aunt of Paris Hilton. Don't worry, we're just as confused as you are.

The 90-year-old Zsa Zsa and von Anhalt have been married for over 20 years. There's no word on whether or not he wishes to be included in our Prince-laden photo gallery, along with Prince Michael Jackson and Prince William.

We'll keep you posted.

Halle Berry is known for being an Oscar-winning, beautiful actress.

Kim Kardashian, conversely, is best known for befriending Paris Hilton.

Oh, and making an explicit sex tape.

Despite their differences, these women appear to shop at the same boutique. Take a look below and let us know which lovely lady wears that dress better.

No matter the loser, she can take comfort in the fact that she's still much hotter than Cisco Adler nude.

Thanks to People magazine for keeping track of the following ...

Ask Stephen Colbert the one thing that's missing from this world and he's likely to tell you: an ice cream flavor named after himself.

Well, America's favorite son can finally relax.

This may be a hoax - perhaps started by good friend, Jon Stewart - but Ben & Jerry's appears to have come out with a Colbert-inspired flavor, "Americone Dream." Catchy, isn't it?

We can imagine Colbert saluting true Americans, such as Lauren Nelson, before devouring such a delicious dessert as he recites the Pledge of Allegiance at home.

The talk show host is ceretainly worthy of his own flavor, but allow us to suggest a pair of other ideas:

1. "Ice Cream in a Box," in honor of Justin Timberlake
2. "Drunken, Beautiful Chip," in honor of Tara Conner

Tell us, readers: What other celebrities deserve their own type of ice cream?

The mother of the late Anna Nicole Smith predicted that the fight over her granddaughter would get "ugly," while dismissing Anna Nicole's rags-to-riches self-portrayal as mere myth-making.

In an interview on Good Morning America, a disconsolate, almost disgusted Virgie Arthur described Anna Nicole as "wild and crazy," and reiterated that she'd warned her daughter to stop using drugs.

She added that she "really sincerely" worries about five-month-old Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, and wants her to be with her father.

Of course, it's unclear if that is Howard K. Stern or Larry Birkhead. Hence why Arthur, when asked about the pending paternity battle, said: "Oh yeah, it'll get ugly."

Oddly - and almost unprompted - Arthur also took the opportunity to debunk the myth that Anna Nicole's rise to fame was a classic rags-to-riches tale.

"Why do you tell people stuff like that?" Arthur said she asked Anna Nicole. "I'll do whatever it takes," replied Anna Nicole. "If my name's out there, I make money."

It's sad, but true. In many ways, Anna was just like Kim Kardashian and a handful of other pseudo celebrities. Famous just for being famous.

Larry Birkhead has spoken.

As one of the men claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, Birkhead commented on larrybirkhead.net about his former lover:

"Chance brought us together, our love couldn't keep us apart. We loved, we laughed, we shared a connection that couldn't be broken, regardless of the challenges. I loved her in life and I will love her long after...

Our daughter, Dannnielynn is a constant reminder of the love we shared and the life that we desired...

My heart is broken, my tears are endless.

She called me her angel, I called her my sweet potato, and every night before we went to sleep, she made me say to her...........'GOODNIGHT MY SWEET ANNA BABY'

Anna Nicole Smith has died in Broward County, Fla., at the age of 39, her attorney, Ron Rail, has confirmed to TMZ.

Desperate attempts to save Anna Nicole Smith's life were made by paramedics en route to Memorial Regional Hospital. Smith did not survive, despite receiving CPR and emergency intubation to facilitate breathing.

Smith collapsed while visiting the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., and died hours later.

Anna had been transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood just after 2:00 p.m. and died around 3:45 p.m. EST.

WFOR-TV, out of Miami reports that Anna was found unresponsive in her hotel room. Streets were closed off as Smith was rushed to the hospital, which is three miles away. Paramedics were seen pumping her chest as she was taken out of the hotel.

Anna was hospitalized for a week last November with pneumonia.

Her daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern, subject of an ongoing DNA test battle to determine paternity, was born on September 7.

Her son, Daniel Smith, died of a drug overdose on September 10.

People reports that Dannielynn is in the Bahamas, being cared for by the mother of Shane Gibson, a high-ranking Bahamian official and close friend of Smith's.

No word yet on the whereabouts of Larry Birkhead or Howard K. Stern, both of whom claim to be Dannielynn's father. TMZ briefly contacted Birkhead's lawyer, who would only say that Larry "is not OK."

Officials close to the case confirm that Howard K. Stern has already assumed the title of "legal guardian" of Dannielynn, according to the laws of the Bahamas.

The law states: "On the death of the mother of a child, the father, if surviving, shall, subject to the provision of this Act, be guardian of the child, either alone or jointly with any guardian appointed by the mother." Smith, of course, named Stern the father on Dannielynn's birth certificate.

As of 8:00 p.m., the Broward County Medical Examiner had retrieved the body of Anna Nicole Smith. Hospital sources tell TMZ that Anna Nicole's body has been moved to a VIP section of the hospital, which is off-limits to everyone except for key hospital personnel.

A death certificate will be filed within 24 hours.

The hotel room Anna was occupying at the Hard Rock will be sealed off as a part of the investigation. Smith frequented the South Florida location - just a month ago, a playful Anna was spotted showing off new body art to Hulk Hogan during a boxing match.

We will have more on this story as it develops.

The mood at The Hollywood Gossip offices is that of devastation. In the past, we had our share of fun at the expense of the Red Menace. But we're deeply saddened that she's gone, and our thoughts and prayers go out to her loved ones on this terribly tragic day.

It's his dick in a box.

That much we knew, thanks to Justin Timberlake's matter-of-fact crooning on Saturday Night Live over the holidays. But as JT reprised his SNL skit (which you can watch by following the link above) with Andy Samberg last night at Madison Square Garden, the Gossip couldn't help but wonder who the next recipient of this very special box might be.

After all, since ending his long-term relationship with Cameron Diaz, he's been linked to Scarlett Johansson, Alyssa Milano and Jessica Biel. Yeah. If he even hit one out of three, he would be our hero. Well, not as much if the one were Alyssa Milano. You could do worse, no question about it - she's just not in the same league as the other two.

Regardless, with Valentine's Day coming up, this heartwarming package can only stop and reflect on conquests past and ponder where it's being shipped to...

We know who would like to receive this box: Britney Spears. But don't hold your breath waiting for Justin to FedEx it (if you will) over to that walking train wreck.
