Lindsay Lohan was up to usual diva-addict behavior over the weekend. It started Friday night at the ESPN The Magazine’s pre-Superbowl party where Samantha Ronson was spinning. Lindsay set up shop next to the dj booth where she chain-smoked and checked Sam’s Blackberry every 20 seconds or so. The two ended up having another public fight before moving it to the ladies room to do a bumb make up.

Empty bottles of Patron were later found by Lindsay’s seat near the dj booth as well as at her VIP table at the Maxim party later that night.

The chaotic weekend ended at the Tampa airport Saturday when Delta couldn’t get Lindsay in first class of her already over booked flight.

According to an insider, passengers laughed as the starlet acted incredibly entitled (and embarrassed), stomped around and warned a friend traveling with her: “you’d better come and visit me back there in case I die.”

Because it’s just not humane to force someone to ride in steerage. No worries though. The good folks at Delta moved Lilo up front to keep from having to listen to her endless bitching.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. —

It’s safe to call Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher a Hollywood power couple. But now you can also call the lovebirds something else – PETA’s worst -dressed stars.

In a new poll conducted by PETA.com, Demi currently leads a poll of the worst dressed celebrities in Hollywood, the animal activist organization announced on Thursday.

“She may be a cougar, but that’s not helping fur-loving Demi Moore in the eyes of animal lovers,” PETA said in a statement to Access Hollywood.

Coming in second on the list was Demi’s beau, Ashton, who drew the ire of the organization “after skulking around Sundance last month wearing a gigantic coat made of coyote fur.”

Among the other stars who “have a penchant for pelts” on this year’s list are Madonna, Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Kanye West, Mary J. Blige and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Voting on PETA.com runs through March 2.

Last year, music icon Aretha Franklin was dubbed PETA’s worst dressed celeb, followed by Marilyn Manson, Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria Parker and Kate Moss.

It’ll be David vs. David.

Syesha Mercado was voted off "American Idol" Wednesday night, paving the way for the expected showdown between David Archuleta and David Cook.

Mercado, a 21-year-old actress from Sarasota, Fla., was the last woman standing on the top-rated Fox contest. The big-voiced belter surpassed a more accomplished singer (Carly Smithson), a fan favorite (Brooke White) and a statuesque country crooner (Kristy Lee Cook).

While other contestants floundered, Mercado challenged herself with ambitious song choices like Sam Cooke’s "A Change Is Gonna Come." She showed more personality — and lots of leg — while swiveling her hips in a glittery gold minidress for a rendition of "Proud Mary." She cried when Paula Abdul gave her a standing ovation last week.

Abdul held the sugar on Tuesday’s performance show, telling Mercado that she thought her performance of "Hit Me Up" wasn’t "good enough to get into the finals."

With Mercado out of the way, "Idol" can now fully hype the David vs. David matchup.

There’s Archuleta, the 17-year-old singing prodigy from Murray, Utah, with the overly involved stage dad. And there’s Cook, the 25-year-old former bartender from Blue Springs, Mo., with an emo edge that the angelic Arculeta lacks.

Who will snag the title next Wednesday?

One thing is for sure: His name will be David.

After Jasmin Trias and Camile Velasco, another Filipino made it as one of the 24 finalist of American Idol.

The very pretty 20 year old Ramiele Macrowon-Malubay, a native of Miramar, Florida, who once said …

If Jasmin can do it, I can do it!

…freaked out after knowing she is included in the final 24. Ramiel established her attachment with music early at the age 12 when she sang in her cousin’s birthday. The very talented Filipina can also play the piano as well as the guitar which is being taught to her by her sister. Besides singing and playing instruments, she also did some Polynesian Dancing since she was on the first grade.

The “Pinay American Idol” is a huge fan of Regine Velasquez. She said that she really doesn’t want to be famous but instead, represent the Asian community especially the Filipinos in this competition where the whole world is watching.

And guess what, like every Filipino; Ramiele Malubay also tried eating balot (balut)…

The weirdest thing I have ever eaten, balot (balut), It’s like a … I think it’s a duck egg. It’s cooked but there’s a baby inside. … I don’t know, I don’t eat it anymore. But it tastes good if you eat the outside part, instead of the baby inside. 

Ramiele stopped nursing school for this season and promised to go back if not chosen to be the next American Idol.

Just like Renaldo Lapuz, it’s really a pleasure to see another Filipino in the limelight of this season. If you are listening Ramiele, you are an American Idol for us all and we are certain that you will outstrip the other finalists. Support our "kababayan" Ramiele Malubay.

These are the top 24 for finalist for the Ameican Idol Season 7:

The men are: Archuleta, 17, Murray, Utah; Colton Berry, 18, Staunton, Va.; Robbie Carrico, 26, Melbourne, Fla.; Jason Castro, 20, Rockwall, Texas; David Cook, 25, Tulsa, Okla.; Chikezie Eze, 22, Inglewood, Calif.; Garrett Haley, 17, Elida, Ohio; David Hernandez, 24, Glendale, Ariz.; Luke Menard, 29, Crawfordsville, Ind.; Danny Noriega, 18, Azusa, Calif.; Jason Yeager, 28, Branson, Mo., and Michael Johns, 29, Los Angeles by way of Australia.

And the ladies: Overmyer, 23, Mulberry, Ind.; White, 24, Van Nuys, Calif.; Joanne Borgella, 25, Hoboken, N.J.; Kristy Lee Cook, 24, Selma, Ore.; Amy Davis, 25, Cedar Lake, Ind.; Asia’h Epperson, 19, Joplin, Mo.; Alexandrea Lushington, 17, Douglasville, Ga.; Kady Malloy, 18, Houston; Ramiele Malubay, 20, Miramar, Fla.; Syesha Mercado, 21, Miami; Alaina Whitaker, 16, Tulsa, Okla., and Carly Smithson, San Diego by way of Dublin, Ireland.

               17 year-old David Archuleta from Salt Lake City, Utah, is currently making waves in the internet as one of the most promising American Idol season 7 contestants even before his audition clip airs on tv. One of the reasons could be because he won Star Search when he was 12 years old. He even has a video on Youtube singing “And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going” in front of American Idol season 1 aspirants and he blew them away with his rendition. And since that was season 1, he was only 9 years old at that time. He has a fantastic vioce. Viewrs will surely like him because he is charming, good looking and a good young singer.

Ledger was found naked and unresponsive, facedown on the floor at the foot of his bed by a housekeeper trying to wake him for an appointment with a masseuse, said police spokesman Paul Browne.

"Pills were found in the vicinity of the bed," he told CNN.

"This is being looked at as a possible overdose, but that is not confirmed yet."

Browne later told reporters some prescription medications were found in the room, including sleeping pills.

But he stressed police have made no determination of the cause of Ledger’s death — that would be done by the medical examiner.

He said the pills were not "scattered about."

Ledger’s family called his death "very tragic, untimely and accidental."

"Heath has touched so many people on so many different levels during his short life, but few had the pleasure of truly knowing him," his father said.

"He was a down-to-earth, generous, kindhearted, life-loving, unselfish individual extremely inspirational to many."
