Purvis/Sipa Lindsay Lohan's alcohol-monitoring device clocked alcohol in her system at an MTV Movie Awards after-party in Los Angeles on June 6.
A judge on Tuesday issued a new arrest warrant for Lindsay Lohan that was quickly revoked in fast-changing set of events after the troubled actress’s court-ordered alcohol bracelet detected she had been drinking.
The warrant was recalled when Lohan’s representatives posted a portion of a new $200,000 bail amount after the actress was ordered by a judge to forfeit her original $100,000 bail on a 2007 drunken driving charge. Read more »

We are all obsessed with being “normal”—in fact, it’s quite, er, “normal.” In my book a behavior is normal as long as it won’t make you sick, isn’t sadistic, or get you arrested. It doesn’t have to be “average”—just within a range of human behavior that doesn’t doom all living things—including yourself. So, it’s “normal,” for example, to lose your temper. It’s not normal to torch your neighborhood (even though the thought may have entered your mind occasionally.)
What’s normal in a relationship? It’s more varied than you might think. Here’s a list of common relationship issues and behaviors that some experts will tell you are abnormal, but I believe are perfectly normal. Read more »

Sticking to a regular bedtime and getting enough sleep may help young children score higher on tests of development, a new study suggests.
Kids who had a consistent bedtime at the age of 4 scored higher on a number of tests, including some that measured literacy and math abilities. Earlier bedtimes and parental rules about keeping bedtime routines also were associated with higher scores on developmental measures. Read more »

Gary Coleman has died.
The Diff’rent Strokes star succumbed at 12:05 p.m. (MST) today at Utah Valley Regional Medical Center to a brain hemorrhage suffered at his home Wednesday, a statement from his management firm said. He was 42.

“Family members and close friends were at his side when life support was terminated” today, the statement said.

Swilling cocktails, saucy language and wearing sexy outfits is the bedrock of “Sex and the City” and now the franchise’s sequel transplants the four leading ladies from New York to the Middle East.
The film’s leading character Carrie Bradshaw and her sidekicks — Miranda, Charlotte and the promiscuous Samantha — try to be respectful and demure, but the movie’s makers admit that, in keeping with their characters, they sometimes fail.
Samantha, played by Kim Cattrall, gets in hot water for kissing in public. The movie jokes about women in burqas and has gossip about whether a Middle Eastern butler is gay.
The movie’s director Michael Patrick King said any off-kilter notes were in keeping with the characters’ normal behavior, whether they be in Abu Dhabi or New York. Read more »
