Lindsay Lohan, Parents to Bury the Hatchet?

Lindsay Lohan and estranged parents, Michael and Dina, haven't had the best of relationships, but all three may sit down to resolve old issues, reports say.
Just when we thought we'd seen everything. What's next? Kanye and W making up and Bristol Palin making it to the final four on Dancing with the Stars?
Oh, wait ...

ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY? Hey, anything's possible. Apparently.

Doctors and therapists at the Betty Ford Clinic, where Lindsay Lohan will continue to reside until early 2011, have been "encouraging" her to get in a room with her folks to resolve issues that may have put her in her current state.
Five or six years too late, but hey, better than never.
Lindsay is being urged to consider getting both parents together with her during one of Betty Ford's family week next month. Lohan may even go for it.
One encouraging sign? Michael Lohan, who spent time with Lindsay this week, says he's willing to sit down with Dina AND won't blab to the press. Wow.
As for Dina Lohan, she's not pleased with the idea but hasn't ruled it out. She seems more interested in Lindsay's recovery than ever, so here's hoping.
Dina went to Betty Ford for a family week last month. Michael, who made a stink about being shut out, will go to a family week sans Dina next week.
Lindsay appears committed to the whole thing, because yesterday she and Michael made time for a little mid-day movie date - their second in a week.
All encouraging signs. Let's hope they build toward real change for a star whose downward spiral can't get much worse. We applaud all their efforts.

Mel Gibson in Court: I Love My Baby Girl!

Squaring off with Oksana Grigorieva in their custody fight, Mel Gibson teared up on the stand Wednesday about how much he loves Lucia and his other children.
Mel's voice cracked as he talked about the daughter he shares with Oksana, who was also present, during his testimony. Lucia just celebrated her first birthday.
Oksana wants Judge Scott Gordon to strip Mel of overnight visits with Lucia, saying whenever the baby stays the night at Mel's, she comes back "acting funny."

Mel has issues, but he's fighting hard for custody of his daughter.

Oksana did not get specific as to what "funny" meant.
On cross examination Mel's lawyers played video of Oksana talking to People and other media outlets, asking directly if that's really appropriate for Lucia:
"Do you think by talking to the media you are looking out for the best interests of Lucia?" She was also grilled about talking to TMZ, who reported this story.
Oksana's lawyers tried to get the judge to invalidate the couple's mediation agreement from May (which Oksana now disavows), but Gordon shut them down.
That issue wasn't before the court, he said. The next court date is November 22, during which Grigorieva will take the stand for further cross-examination.
Mel's ex-girlfriend alleges Gibson cheated on her and committed violent acts against her, allegations that have not been substantiated - at least by the law.
In addition to attaining sole custody of Lucia, Oksana wants the judge to order Mel to seek therapy. So far, Gordon has been unmoved by such requests.

CMA Awards Fashion Face-Off: Billy Ray Cyrus vs. Kid Rock

This might be the first and last time Bilyl Ray Cyrus is ever compared to Kid Rock.
But the newly single father of Miley Cyrus walked the red carpet of the Country Music Awards last night, all by his lonesome, following his recent divorce from wife Tish.
The Detroit rocker did the same, refraining from once again calling Steven Tyler an idiot and simply posing for photographers in his usual attire. Check out both quasi studs here and then vote in our poll:

Demi Lovato Update: Sources Deny Drugs, Raise Questions Over Deceased Friend

"Demi is not in treatment for drugs. She is there to deal with emotional and physical issues she's been battling her whole life."
These are the words of family friend, shooting down recent rumors that Demi Lovato entered a rehab facility due to a problem with cocaine and alcohol.
So, is there a specific issue that forced this young singer to leave her Sorth American tour and seek help? Possibly, reports Star Magazine

In July, an aspiring musician named David Osborn died in a tubing accident. An insider claims Lovato had grown close to the rocker, who she met at a mutual friend's party in December. Soon after his passing, Demi Tweeted:

"Can't wait to see you again in heaven... Texas isn't the same without you... RIP Dave Osborn."

While it's possible the death of a loved one played a role in Demi's demise - which culminated in a physical confrontation with a backup dancer in Peru - the same source that denies this troubled star used drugs also tells People her downfall was related to a lot more than just one incident.

"This is a girl with emotional problems who has been fighting demons her whole life... She is determined to get better."

Inside the (Fake) Kardashian Sister Split!

Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian have been spotted together numerous times over the last few weeks, most recently at the opening for Dash NYC.
But beneath the red carpet smiles and plastic body parties, Life & Style has breaking, utterly contrived news for fans of thees siblings: they hate each other!!!
"When Khloé arrived in NYC, Kim wanted nothing more than for the three sisters to hit the town together and have fun," an insider tells the tabloid. "But Khloé said Kim was being a selfish bitch. Kim burst into tears and rushed out of the room."

Forget a pretend Kardashian split... Amber Portwood has three boyfriends AND a baby?!?

Indeed, while Kim claims to be content with her single life, such a contrast with her siblings has apparently created an opportunity for imaginary sources to give fake quotes a riff.

"Kim definitely feels abandoned," says this family friend. "It's clear that Kourtney and Khloé are bonding over being settled down, and Kim just doesn't fit in."

It really is clear, isn't it, people?

The magazine claims Kourtney and Khloe are also freezing Kim out of their business, making decisions about clothing locations inside Dash without consulting their sister.

"They've grown apart much more than Kim had realized. It's made her very sad," reads this cover story.
