Lindsay Lohan: I'm "Enjoying" Community Service

Lindsay Lohan: I'm "Enjoying" Community Service

Lindsay Lohan never ceases to surprise: In her latest shocker, the troubled starlet has revealed that she is actually "enjoying" performing her court-ordered community service!

In a fun, candid interview with the Australian radio program The Kyle and Jackie O Show, Lohan opened up about her loyal friends, her feelings about Glee (which routinely bashes her), her "inappropriate" courtroom couture and her community service work -- which, it turns out, she loves.

Back in April, Lohan was ordered to complete 480 hours of community service, 360 of which would be served at Los Angeles' Downtown Women's Center. The community service was part of a sentence handed down for a probation violation stemming from her alleged theft of $2,500 necklace (Lohan pled "no contest" to the charge and was slapped with a 120-day jail sentence -- though that will likely turn into two weeks of house arrest). When the rambunctious Kyle and Jackie O asked her how serving her community was going, Lohan replied: "I'm enjoying it. I'm working in the Downtown Women's Shelter, and I think the second part I'm going to be working with kids, which I really like." Lohan adds that everyone at the shelter is "really nice."

And Lohan isn't just out to make her community a better place these days; she's also trying to make a difference on a global level. In the media firestorm surrounding Lohan's various scandals, her work combatting human trafficking (a cause she shares with Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher) has often gone unmentioned, something that Lohan complained about in the interview. In fact, Lohan even traveled to India to shoot a documentary about the problem of child trafficking, and says she looks forward to going back "when it is the right time."

Lohan wasn't quite as open when asked about her sexual orientation (she's famously had relationships with both men and women). She dodged thos queries, joking, "I'm available."

When asked about the dress she wore to her last court appearance, Lohan defended her choice: "I hadn't worn it, I still had the tag on it and she said it looked great so that was it. You wouldn't say that to a hooker coming into court, 'That's inappropriate.' That's all she has. I have great things to wear so it's not my fault! I love fashion, but I wasn't wearing that to court, I just wanted to go to court and get court over with because court scares me."

When Glee, a show that has lampooned Lohan on numerous occasions, came up in the conversation, Lindsay quickly said, "I don't watch Glee." But she was quick to add that she is friends with some of the cast members and that they all are "very talented." So would she would give the show permission to  her music? "Yeah, but they've made a lot of snarky remarks about me, and I don't know why. They don't need to do that."

More than anything, Lohan sounds eager to get back to work. Dispelling the rumors that she has become "uninsurable," Lohan said, "I think once I start filming, there's a few films I'm going to do, that's the best thing for me. I love being back on set. I had to learn, I'm not a kid so I had to grow up and be accountable."

We think this sounds hopeful, and we look forward to the Mean Girls star getting back to what she does best: acting. Next up is a role opposite John Travolta, Joe Pesci and Al Pacino in the mob drama Gotti: Three Generations. Sounds like a great start to us!

Jennifer Lawrence made her first visit to Late Night With David Letterman in NYC last night. She arrived at the studio in a white coat and showing off her Katniss Everdeen hair, and she stepped out onto the stage in a gorgeous figure-hugging navy Altuzarra dress for the interview. Dave congratulated her on her Oscar nomination for Winter's Bone before touching on her childhood spent riding horses sans saddle, her role in X-Men: First Class, and taking on "lighter fare" such as the ultraviolent Hunger Games series. We got our first official look at Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss in this weeks EW, and soon she'll be back to training where she's working on everything from archery to tree climbing for her time in the arena.

Justin Bieber's Manager Off The Hook For Mall-Stampede Charges

Justin Bieber's manager Scott "Scooter" Braun is off the hook for the charges of reckless endangerment and criminal nuisance he received after the chaotic incident with Bieber fans at a Long Island mall in November 2009.

According to E! News, the charges against Braun were dropped Friday (May 6) after Bieber agreed to make a public-service announcement for an anti-cyberbullying campaign and his record label, Island Def Jam, pleaded guilty to the ordinance violation and agreed to reimburse the county almost $8,000 to pay its share of the costs associated with the law enforcement and fire marshal response after the melee.

All this stems from a Bieber mall appearance that turned into a stampede and injured one fan. Police alleged that Braun failed to properly control the situation at Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, New York, when they ordered him to send a message to Bieber's fans via Twitter to notify his followers that the event was canceled.

Fans of the rising teen superstar were waiting for Bieber to arrive at the mall, where he was set to perform selections from his EP, My World, which had been released earlier in the week.

Braun refused to send the message, police said. Instead, authorities contend Braun eschewed safety in favor of publicity. As things got out of hand, police said, Bieber's Twitter still read, "On my way to Roosevelt Field Mall in Long Island, NY to sign and meet fans! I'm pumped. See u there."

After a representative from the singer's label was arrested, a message from Bieber's Twitter was sent urging fans to go home. "The event at Roosevelt Mall is cancelled," he tweeted. "Please go home. The police have already arrested one person from my camp. I don't want anyone hurt."

Making The Movies Jealous ? Marriage Proposal Goes Viral!

Earlier this week, we laughed as one man?s mall food court proposal went terribly wrong. Today we?re being served with yet another viral marriage proposal video, but this time around the guy is onto something. Forget dropping to one knee in front of the Cin-a-Bon?that?s just plain corny. Matt Still had something else in mind that the average man simply cannot attain; making a quality movie trailer that his girlfriend will actually see on the big screen. The brilliance played out while his girlfriend Ginny settled in to see The Hangover 2. Rather than sitting back and yapping about which movie trailer looked stupid, and which she wanted to see, a high quality clip that her boyfriend concocted showed up on the screen. The video is actually called ?Greatest Marriage Proposal Ever!!!? and has officially gone viral with over 500,000 views. It begins with a conversation between two men whose faces are out of the frame. Almost immediately, Ginny recognizes them as her father and Matt, who are discussing his plan to pop the question. The trailer itself isn?t what impresses me. It?s actually the way he worked in his entrance. After the cinematic-style trailer plays, it cuts to Matt [...]

Them Crooked Vultures make their debut with a post-Lollapalooza set.

Officially, Lollapalooza ended Sunday night in Chicago's Grant Park, with dueling sets from the Killers and Jane's Addiction. Unofficially, it ended very early Monday morning, across town at venerable rock club the Metro, with a surprise show by Them Crooked Vultures.

To the unfamiliar, the Vultures might seem like an odd choice to close out Lolla weekend ... until you realize that they're made up of Foo Fighters frontman/ former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age mastermind Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin legend John Paul Jones. And their gig at the Metro was their world premiere.

According to some reports, the Vultures actually turned down Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell's request to replace the Beastie Boys as headliners at the festival, opting to debut in front of some 1,100 super-psyched fans at the Metro, rather than 75,000 in Grant Park (tickets for the gig were announced via Foo Fighter/ QOTSA fan clubs). Meaning that, in a lot of ways, this was the most sought-after ticket in town.

Taking the stage just after midnight, the Vultures — Grohl on drums (of course), Homme on guitar and vocals, Jones on bass and keys and frequent QOTSA contributor Alain Johannes on guitar — ripped through 12 songs in 80 minutes, all taken from their upcoming debut, which may or may not be called Never Deserved the Future, and may or may not be hitting stores on October 23 (early "promo" videos touting both those facts were revealed over the weekend to be hoaxes perpetrated by QOTSA fans).

The songs, with appropriately Homme-ian titles like "Scumbag Blues," "Mind Eraser (No Chaser)," "Caligulove" and "Interlude w/Ludes," sounded pretty much how you'd expect, given the band's pedigree. They rocked, hard — Chicago Tribune critic Greg Kot described them as "fresh, invigorating and just plain nasty" — delving off into psychedelic, reverb-filled excursions and exploring proggy territory, "both of the old-school Yes variety, and the more modern Tool flavor," according to the Chicago Sun-Times' Jim DeRogatis.

It's not known if Monday's Metro performance was a one-off event for the Vultures — there have been whispers of a full-blown tour, but a spokesperson for Homme had not responded to MTV News' request for comment at press time. Nor was it clear whether or not they'll have an album out in October.

Early Monday, a Crooked Vultures Twitter account, which had previously posted links to the band's official-looking Web site and the Metro's online ticketing site — posted a link to what appears to be the group's first bit of official merchandise: a Deserve the Future T-shirt. Cost: $30.
