Lindsay Lohan: Ready to Talk Plea Bargain? - Hollywood News Gossips

Lindsay Lohan has her own version of the prisoner's dilemma going on.

If she fights the felony grand theft charge against her tooth and nail, she could, at least in theory, pull a legal rabbit out of her hat and beat the rap.

But, not only does she risk losing in court, a pissed-off judge could also revoke her probation and remand her into custody for the length of the trial.

We can do this the easy way or the hard way ...

Therefore, a plea bargain could be her best shot at doing a relatively short stint behind bars, as the D.A. could go (relatively) easy if she cooperates.

But will she?

Lindsay's lawyer and the prosecutor have been trying to hammer out a plea bargain but have hit a wall, so the judge will try to break the impasse.

Shawn Holley and Dannette Meyers both want to end Lindsay's felony grand theft case with a plea, but Meyers won't budge on six months in jail.

Holley's plan is to ask the judge what sentence he'd hand down if LiLo pleads guilty or no contest, hoping that he'll agree to closer to three months.

Both Meyers and Holley believe Lindsay will only do 20 percent of the actual sentence because of overcrowding, which is what happens typically.

So, if Judge Keith Schwartz gave Lindsay three months, she'd only serve 18 days, which really isn't that bad for a potential felony necklace heist.

Schwartz is known as a settlement judge, so it's likely a deal can be struck if Lindsay accepts she's going to do some jail time, no matter what.

For a recap of why she's in this mess, and why she's unlikely to get out of it scot free, THG broke down the situation last week in The Pulse ...

SRK, Leo to play chor-sipahi! - Hollywood / Bollywood News Gossips

In what is touted to be the biggest Hollywood-Bollywood collaboration so far, superstar Leonardo DiCaprio, 36, plays an American cop, and Bollywood’s biggest actor, Shah Rukh Khan, 46, will take on the role of a former don.

The project, Xtreme City, to be directed by Paul Schrader of Gigolo fame, is a crime drama set in Mumbai. It also has song and dance numbers. SRK is busy filming in Malaysia, but his office confirms the news. Schrader had said in an earlier interview, “It is about two men who’ve worked together — a US policeman and an Indian ex-bhai. It deals with the world of crime, but also revolves around families, romance, obligations and farce.”

Co-producing the thriller with SRK is Hollywood veteran Martin Scorsese, 68, after he met Khan and the film’s scriptwriter, Mushtaq Sheikh, at this year’s Berlin Film Festival.

Considering that both Leo and SRK are global heartthrobs, one wonders who will steal the limelight. “It’ll be Leo. He is a known name even SRKin non-Bollywood areas. But, Shah Rukh will get a lot of prominence,” says trade expert Taran Adarsh. Film analyst Amod Mehra says, “Obviously Leonardo, because he has a bigger fan following than Shah Rukh’s.”

Mike Huckabee Calls Out Natalie Portman (and Bristol Palin?) for Premarital Pregnancy - Hollywood Hot News Gossips

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee has made it clear: he has an issue with unmarried, unashamed, wealthy women who tell the world about their pregnancy.

It's clear to whom he's referring, right? Incredibly, no.

The likely 2012 Presidential candidate went on Michael Medved's radio show Monday and somehow called out Natalie Portman, not a certain daughter of a certain reality star who has raked in seven figures by posing on tabloid covers with her child.

"People see a Natalie Portman who boasts*, 'We're not married but we're having these children and they're doing just fine," Huckabee said. "I think it gives a distorted image. It's unfortunate that we glorify and glamorize the idea of out-of-wedlock children."

(*Note: Portman has never said this. She has, however, had the gall to appear on stage with a baby bump and tell the world she loves her fiancee, Benjamin Millepied.)

Referring to Portman's pregnancy as "troubling," Huckabee added:

"Most single moms are very poor, uneducated, can't get a job, and if it weren't for government assistance, their kids would be starving to death and never have health care. And that's the story that we're not seeing."

 We agree 1,000% with that statement. We wonder how Huckabee's fellow Republican, Sarah Palin, feels about this issue.

In 2007, meanwhile, Huckabee said the following about a pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears: "I hope it is not an encouragement to other 16-year-olds who think that is the best course of action... I'm not going to condemn her... There'll be plenty of people in line to and I always look for the shortest lines. I just hope that she will make another right decision, and that's to give that child all the love and kindness and care that she can."

Why the more pointed words for Portman? You tell us.

Jersey Shore Recap: Team Sober FTW! - Hollywood News Gossips

he Situation got served in the Jersey Shore house's latest prank war, while revealing himself to be an even dirtier human being than previously believed.

Dude's more revolting even than the origin of the toilet clog, which was finally kind of revealed. Elsewhere, Snooki sort of admitted her lovey feelings for Vinny.

Sammi also came back to Seaside Heights. D-d-d-d-done!

As always, THG has broken down some of the top Jersey Shore quotes and scenes from the episode in our trademark +/- recap below. Let's get to it:

SO SWEET: Too bad Vinny wasn't game for Snook's arrangement.

Snooki tells Vinny not to bring any girls home from the club so they can cuddle. Minus 5, girl, because you bring plenty of stuff home from the club too.

The first time you see an ex is always awkward. "Hey Sam," Ron said, "You look good." Sammi's reply? "You look pale." That HURTS on this show. Plus 9.

Deena says Sammi’s “hystatic,” which means “super-happy and … really happy.” Minus only 2, because at least she knows it's a made-up word. We think.

Ronnie awkwardly hovers around Sammi at the club. "I don't want to smother you," he said. Sammi then asks, "Are you leaving?" BURN again. Plus 6.

Snooki, on Vinny's package: “I actually named his penis Moby Dick, and I would love to try again to see if it would work.” Minus 8, because ... shudder.

Even though they live together 24/7, Pauly D still could not believe the pink top JWoww put on, his eyes widening to the size of dinner plates. Plus 4.

WAY TO GET OUR BACK: The girls give Vinny the third degree.

The tension boils with Sam. It was inevitable. Minus 7.

Ron sums up our feelings: "I'm done you're done we're done I'm done you're done, d-d-d-one done done. Like, I don't even know at this point!" Plus 12.

Vinny's Dominican girl wants 10 of his babies. Is that a plus? Minus 4.

JWoww has got to go, so she squats behind a car, the second time she's relieved herself in public this season. The first on Deena's foot, though. Plus 10.

Snooki laments that whining about her feelings for Vinny only made her look stupid. Minus 9, because the only shock would be if she didn't look stupid.

Anyway, it's time for the weekly battle with the toilet, and as you can see by the Plus 7-worthy pic below, Ronnie is gonna get in there and get after it!

WHOOP DEE DOO: Sammi's back. People are absolutely thrilled.

When Ron's bid to break the stoppage fails, the plumbers are called in, at which point they unearth a vomit-worthy piece of brown-smeared cotton. Minus 6.

Plus 3 for the consensus that it belonged to Vinny and not one of the girls, since he wears [bleeping] something. Plus 5 for you if you can explain what it is.

Seriously, we have no idea what that is, thanks to all the bleeps.

Possible quote of the year: Cute girl: I’m gay. She’s my girlfriend. Vinny: For real? Girl: [nods] Vinny: Are you fully gay? Girl: No. Vinny: Awesome! Plus 16.

When you have to check a girl's ID, Mike, she's probably too young no matter what the DOB says. Minus 4, because Sitch has to be pushing 40 himself.

After last week's epic prank, Ronnie, Sammi and Snooki (Team Sober) punk Mike by hiding cheese in his bed. Like three kinds, too. Plus pepper flakes! Plus 8.

Minus 25 because not only does Sitch fall for it, believing his hookup smells like cheese, he thinks "oral pleasure" can't give you an STD. Run, ladies. Run.

TOTAL: +10. SEASON TOTAL: +215.

Reality Check: Jon Gosselin Makes How Much? - Latest Hollywood News gossips

Every day, Jon Gosselin gets out of bed, shakes off the cobwebs, puts on a hard hat and heads to a job site, laying down solar panels with the crew.

His wage: $35 an hour.

Assuming he logs 40-hour weeks, that amounts to $1,400/week and an annual salary of $72,800. Not too shabby for the Pennsylvania product.

Until you consider that he used to earn $75,000 per episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8, or that he has EIGHT kids to support. Then it's less impressive.

Also not impressive these days? Jon's extra weight.

Despite the hard physical work, and toning down his party boy behavior, a source reports that he's put on pounds: "He has an inner tube again!"

Maybe that's because of his after-work habits with girlfriend Ellen Ross. A typical evening: Eating "cheap takeout and watching Jersey Shore."

Sounds like fun. Although a source says "her yappy dogs pee on his stuff."

That kind of sucks. But it can happen when you're Joe Schmoe.
