What a great week for Rob Lowe.

He appeared on Oprah, his HIGHlarious TV show Parks & Rec is climbing in the ratings, and his new book Stories I Only Tell My Friends was released.

Speaking of which, Rob signed copies of his book at the Barnes and Noble in the Grove in El Lay on Friday and we hate to admit it, but he's starting to kinda look his age.

He's probably just had a busy couple-a days and sure, he's super tired, but he still looks WAY hot! Especially since he is 47-years-old!

No matter how old he gets, he's still going to be a good looking man.

Whatever you're doing, Rob, just keep doing it.

Sometimes life is stranger than fiction and that is SO very much the case when it comes to the trainwreck of a life lived by Lindsay Lohan. Director Ben Rimalower and performer D’Arcy Drollinger have created an off-Broadway show called Project: Lohan that takes the found text of Lindsay‘s actual words and turns it into entertainment. Project: Lohan debuted in NYC last night and promises to give a fair but funny portrayal of the young girl’s very messy life. In real life, TMZ is reporting that Lindsay has decided to plead no contest to the misdemeanor charges of theft brought against her. If she does plead no contest, that would mean she would need to serve that 120 day jail sentence that she got slapped with a couple of weeks ago. Might Lindsay be ready to take responsibility for her actions? Is that even possible?

La MaMa E.T.C. presents the world premiere of Project: Lohan, written by D’Arcy Drollinger and directed by Ben Rimalower, April 29-May 8. Playwright Drollinger plays Lindsay in a cast that also includes Clayton Dean Smith, Brandon Olson, Cindy Goldfield, Emily McGowan and Brian Reiss. Described as a “multi-media, gender-bending theatrical experience,” the show is uses only published text from tabloids, magazines, entertainment TV and internet gossip sites. “From starlet to harlot, from hottie to hot mess, from fashion plate to prison inmate,” press notes state, “Lindsay Lohan has been the subject of arguably one of the most publicized rise and falls in showbiz history. The youngest person to host the MTV movie awards and earning over $7 million a picture before she turned 18, Lindsay had it all, but her love/hate relationship with the paparazzi played a significant role in her seemingly out-of-control spiral. The money, the fame, the feuds, the media-hungry parents, the lesbian lover, the insatiable paparazzi, five trips to rehab, two DUI’s, possession of cocaine, shoplifting, physical abuse and even carjacking — all played out in the public eye — will be reinterpreted for the stage; and will include other such luminaries as Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Hillary Duff, Jessica Simpson, Scarlett Johansson, Samantha Ronson, Dina and Michael Lohan, Tina Fey, Jane Fonda, Leslie Sloan Zelnick and Wilmer Valderrama.” This Equity-approved showcase features set design by Chris Minard, lighting design by Wilburn Bonnell, costume design by Ryan J. Moller, sound design by Andrew Puccio, choreography by John Paolillo, hair design by Jon Jordan and projection design by Jason Corson. La MaMa, E.T.C. is located at 74A East 4th Street. For tickets, priced $18/$13 students and seniors, call (212) 475-7710 or visit www.lamama.org.

Full disclosure, director Ben Rimalower is a friend of mine and it is KILLING me that I won’t be able to see this show! It’s only running until May 8 and from what I’ve seen in rehearsals, the show is simply brilliant! Lindsay has said and done enough for 10 theater productions … but Project: Lohan is the only one you’ll ever need to see. If you are in NYC, you MUST MUST MUST see this show.

Now, as for the real life Lindsay news … here’s what TMZ says she has decided to do in her misdemeanor theft case:

Lindsay Lohan will plead no contest to the misdemeanor theft charge she faces over that pesky necklace … sources connected with the case tell TMZ. We’re told Lindsay is committed to what she told Jay Leno this week — that she wants to accept responsibility and move on with her life. So Lindsay and her lawyer, Shawn Holley, will go back to Judge Stephanie Sautner as early as next week to enter the plea. Lindsay has already been sentenced to 120 days in jail for the probation violation, along with 480 hours of community service. Sources tell us Lindsay and her lawyer are banking on Judge Sautner not adding additional time on the theft charge. In other words, when Lindsay serves her 120-day sentence, that would be the end of it. And sources familiar with the case say that would be a routine disposition. L.A. County Sheriff’s spokesperson Steve Whitmore tells TMZ his rough calculation is that Lindsay would serve three weeks, although there are variables to that. We’re also told the L.A. County District Attorney is inclined to give the case to the L.A. City Attorney, since the D.A. typically prosecutes felonies and the case is now a misdemeanor. But now that Lindsay will plead no contest, it doesn’t make a lot of sense for the D.A. to kick the case to the City Attorney. Holley could not be reached for comment.

I’m not sure that I totally believe this just yet. Lindsay has been adamant about NOT pleading in this case — and no contest means she does not admit guilt but does accept punishment. Still, if she meant what she said in her Tonight Show interview earlier this week, maybe she is ready to take responsibility and pay for her crimes. Let’s see if she really does the right thing and then makes a plea in this case. If so, she will be back in jail soon. But, the sooner she serves her sentence, the sooner she gets to move forward with the rest of her life … and hopefully stay out of trubs.

We can't believe how fresh and alert these two look after their big day!

Newlyweds William and Kate spent their first night as a married couple at Buckingham Palace after a long day of celebrating and partying all night.

The couple were seen strolling the Palace grounds on the morning after their wedding before thanking the staff and taking a helicopter to their next destination.

Were they flying off to their honeymoon??

Nope.

According to a Palace press release:

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen not to depart for a honeymoon immediately.

Instead, after spending the weekend privately in the United Kingdom, The Duke will return to work as a Search and Rescue pilot next week. The locations of both their private weekend and their future honeymoon, which will be overseas, will not be disclosed in advance."

Hmm, very interesting.

Even though they're royalty, we like that they still remain down-to-earth. Nothing like getting back to their real lives!

But, after all those wedding preparations, you two deserve a break! Hope you take some time off and celebrate each other!

After touring Europe and Japan, Kylie Minogue has brought her world tour to the US last night and officially kicked off Aphrodite Live 2011 in Boston, MA. Because her US tour isn’t as extravagant as her European tour (ie. no Splash Zone), I was worried what the “stripped down” version of the show would look like. As I understand it, very little changes have been made to the show now that it is here in the US. All of the numbers have been kept in tact, as well as the costuming and staging from the Les Folies 2011 Tour. Kylie has brought her FABULOUS show to our shores and she will be trekking her way across the country performing along the way! Check out some photos from the show and read a new interview with Kylie below.

Kylie Minogue jokes that she considered making a “Kylie 101″ video for her upcoming North American tour. It’s an amusing idea because the United States is perhaps the last place in the world that needs a crash course in the Australian pop star’s long and celebrated career. “We were trying to think how funny we could make it, acknowledging that [in America] it’s only my fanbase who really have a clue who I am and where I come from and what I do,” Minogue says recently in a one-on-one interview with the Globe. “Other than that, we might need a Kylie 101.” She might be right. A casual fan here probably knows Minogue from her two Top 10 radio hits — “The Loco-Motion” (1988) and then “Can’t Get You Out of My Head’’ arrived 14 years later — but that’s the extent of the dent she’s made, at least on the charts. At 42 and on her first extensive tour of US cities, starting with Agganis Arena in Boston on Friday, Minogue is in an unusual position: She’s the global pop icon who’s on the verge of properly introducing herself to American fans who have adored — no, make that idolized — her from afar and for a very long time. “I know it’s taken forever, but if it’s anything like the last tour, which was my first tour in the States, the welcome was just mind-blowing,’’ Minogue says. “I can’t wait to get there and share the show with you, share an evening.” That first US tour was in 2009, when Minogue tested the waters with a string of headlining shows in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles. If the tour’s scope was limited, it at least spoke volumes about her fans here. “You are, in fact, fierce and mighty,’’ she says about what she learned from those shows. “I don’t have the numbers, I’m not across the board in the States like I am in other countries, but honestly, the noise levels, the excitement levels, the dedication — it was overwhelming. I loved it.” It’s astonishing to think Minogue will be making her Boston debut a full 23 years since her first album, “Kylie,” was released. The closest she has come to this city was in 2002 at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell for the multi-artist “Jingle Ball” tour. The Globe’s review of that concert noted, “Euro-pop princess Kylie Minogue attempted to turn pop into art during her set,” before singling out Destiny Child’s as the star of the show. That was the year when “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” an irresistible hit that lived up to its name, was in heavy rotation. Even though her commercial clout here peaked shortly after that, Minogue still wanted to give this market a go. “I finally bit the bullet and said, if I don’t do this now, it’s not going to happen. But I needed to go and put on a show that is representative of where I am in my career and how I like to present things,’’ she says. “It was a beautiful experience. And now I’m coming back for more. So I’m making up for lost time” … Minogue’s new tour centers on last year’s “Aphrodite,’’ the latest entry in her repertoire of exuberant European dance pop. Its songs extol the virtues of losing yourself in the music, of finding solace in the beat; but that doesn’t mean the new tour is nearly as straightforward. Au contraire: It’s a hulking spectacle, with aerial performers, dancers, and an epic theme based on the myth of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. And just where does Minogue, who’s famously petite, fit in such a production? “At the center, darling,” she says, letting out a girlish giggle that’s as sexy as it is knowing.

What a great interview … and what great photos! The show really looks fantastic from what I can see. I was BLOWN away by the show I saw in Berlin, Germany last month so I know that this show, even slightly scaled down, will WOW US audiences. Wee!! I’ll be seeing Kylie here in LA and then in LV in a few weeks … until then, she’ll be rockin’ and rollin’ her way across the US … just like she was ALWAYS meant to :)

Last night was my second of three Prince concerts this week and I am happy to report that last night’s show was just as amazing as Thursday night’s show. As I say all the time, no two Prince concerts are ever the same. There something different in the Prince was feeling last night that gave the show an entirely different feel. I attended last night’s show at The Forum in Inglewood, CA with my good friends Angie and Ollie. With my O(+> tambourine in hand, we made our way to one of the funkiest concerts I’ve ever seen.

Obviously the vantage point from our seats last night was different than our much closer seats from Thursday night but we had a blast nonetheless. There really is NOT a bad seat in The Forum so I have no cause for complaint. Ollie and Angie were just as excited for the show as I was and we all danced and sang the night away. Here is the setlist from last night’s show:

Let’s Go Crazy
Delirious
1999
Shhh
Mountains
17 Days
Lovergirl (Teena Marie cover)
Give It To Me Baby (Rick James cover)
Everyday People
Play That Funky Music
Glamorous Life (Sheila E performance)

Santana Medley: Jungle Strut / Soul Sacrifice / Toussaint L’Overture

The Question Of U
The One
Gingerbread Man
Take Me With U
Raspberry Beret
Cream
Cool (with Bass Jam instrumental)
Let’s Work
U Got The Look

Encore 1:

Make U Feel My Love
Purple Rain

Encore 2:

Kiss
A Love Bizarre
Controversy

Encore 3:

Segment/Medley:

When Doves Cry
Nasty Girl
Sign O’ The Times
The Most Beautiful Girl In The World
Forever In My Life
Darling Nikki
Single Ladies
I Would Die 4 U

Altho last night’s show was a bit shorter, it was FULL of energy. The Forum was more full so that energy played a big part in the show’s success. I’m not even kidding you, I could see Prince perform night after night after night for weeks and not get tired. Tonight, I’m seeing my third Prince show of the week with my really good friends Emma and Josh (neither of which have seen Prince in concert before). I can’t wait … Prince spoke last night about how everyone HAD to come see him tonight so … I’m excited! Altho I’m still not feeling 100%, nothing is going to keep me from seeing Prince in concert as many times as possible ;)

It’s the weekend, y’all!! I hope you have a great one!! :D

WTF?!

Police in Queens, NY were contacted by school administrators after an 8-year-old boy purchased a handgun from a fellow classmate for $3.

The boy thought the gun was a toy and took it home to show his mother. When she realized he was holding a real gun, she took her son and the pistol back to school, where administrators alerted the police.

Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the gun had "three live rounds in it and … a live round was found on the floor of the school room."

The 8-year-old who sold the gun has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon. His father has also been charged with criminal possession and acting in a manner to injure a minor.

The father allegedly purchased the gun for "self-protection."

It's so unbelievably shocking that parents are still recklessly purchasing hand guns and allowing their children to have access to them.

We don't blame the boy's mother for being outraged. So many people could have been hurt. Thankfully, there was no damage.

Holy Twinsies! They're here! They're here!

Mariah Carey's rep Cindi Berger confirmed that dem babies were born on Saturday at 12:07 p.m. EDT at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles.

Mariah's little princess was born first, weighting 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long. Her tiny prince will clearly be the baby of the family as he was born soon after, at 5 pounds, 6 ounces, and was 19 inches.

Berger says that Mariah and Nick have not named the children, but knowing MiMi, we're sure they're going to have the most adorable names ever.

Berger gave us some details about how it all went down:

She says that Nick drove Mariah in their Rolls Royce Phantom, assuming it was another false alarm. Turns out, it was the real thing, which made Nick so nervous, he went to the wrong department at the hospital and had to be guided to the maternity ward by a nurse.

Berger says, "It was like right out of an I Love Lucy skit."

LOLz!

And to make things soooo much cuter, Berger says that Nick and Mariah were listening to We Belong Together after the children were born.

Awww!! Only Mariah!! Too cute and HIGHlarious for words.

Oh, btw, did we mention that the twins were born the same day as Mariah and Nick's anniverary??

We are so happy for you and Nick, MiMi! We love you and we know we're just going to love those adorable little nuggets of cuteness.

Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!
