KEY POINTS:

Lindsay Lohan, who recently graduated from rehab for alleged alcoholism and drug addiction, was spotted drinking over the Thanksgiving weekend in New York.
According to the NY Daily News, a source close to the Lohan says the rehab queen "has been drinking a little bit", adding that she "did have a few drinks during her week in New York".
Another source tells the website that Lohan also had a slanging match with her current man, Riley Giles, who had joined the fallen star for the holiday.
But despite seemingly falling off the wagon, the source maintains that Lohan's alcohol intake was in moderation.
"For Lindsay, her real problem was drugs, not alcohol. In the past, it wasn't the drinking that was the problem - it was the heavy drug use," says the friend.
"The drug use was way more intense than her party drinking. As long as she isn't doing drugs, she's okay."
However, Lohan's spokesperson assured the NY Daily News this week that the Freaky Friday actress was not drinking again.
"These so-called friends are making up things about her," she said.
On or off the wagon? She must be teetering at least?
There is a God
The Spice Girls have vetoed any plans for a sequel to their unintentionally hilarious 1997 movie Spiceworld.
What's even funnier is the Girls' reason for not lensing a sequel - they think it would be impossible to "top" the original.
Have they actually seen the celluloid travesty in question?
Mercifully, Mel B says there are no plans for a follow-up: "We had so much fun (making the first film), I don't think we could top it. But we all have cameras and are videoing each other, In Bed With Madonna -style, but not for anyone else's view!"

Who's the daddy? I am!
InTouch magazine is swearing blind that Britney's alleged lover, J.R. Rotem, DID confirm Britney's pregnancy to them earlier this week and here's the proof.
Contrary to J.R. Rotem's statement denying the pregnancy, InTouch has in its possession a series of text messages from the alleged father-to-be.
Here's a summary of the text conversation the magazine had with J.R., which he later tried to deny:
IN TOUCH: They are saying Britney's pregnant and you're the father...
JR: It's true
IN TOUCH: OK, awesome. Do u think Britney will keep it? She's already talking about it to people.
JR: No clue on what she will do. She is unpredictable.
Is this concrete proof that Britney does indeed have a bun in her fertile oven?
She's doomed - as doomed as a virgin on a date with Rod Stewart.
Stay tuned for updates...
Knickergate
Ok, more details are emerging about Britney Spears' bizarre panty-shopping incident.
Unfitney reportedly caused quite a scene when she paid a visit to a Hustler store in West Hollywood this week, and indulged in some spontaneous knicker shopping.
Word has it the popwreck threw a hissy fit after being told by a shop assistant that she wasn't allowed to try on the panties in question.
Britney responded in a manner that any demented amoeba would: she dropped her drawers and proceeded to try on the panties in the middle of the store - in plain view of several customers.
A source at the scene said Brit Brit was "shaken and really upset" and "looked out of it. There was nothing going on behind her eyes".
An eyewitness tells Us magazine: "The employees kept saying 'Don't change out here!' She's just like, 'Well, I couldn't take them in the fitting room!' It was like dealing with a child."
But the saga doesn't end there: Britney was indignant when a shop assistant told her she had to pay for the (soiled) panties, and after slamming her credit card on the counter, the Toxic singer allegedly huffed her way out of the store and nabbed a wig on the way.
Clearly, being unstable and mental is all part of Britney's mystique.
Don't even go there...
Nicole Kidman has spoken out about the way her ex-husband Tiny Tom Cruise is bringing up their adopted kiddies as Scientologists.
It seems the expressionless actress is none too happy about her kids being educated about the dark side of the force, as it were, and embracing the kooky religion.
Nicole told Britain's GMTV: "Yes, they're being raised as Scientologists. I don't want to go there. My daughter and son, their life is moulded by the way I live. If I wasn't willing to take on that responsibility, I shouldn't have adopted them.
"Then it can be argued that I should never have divorced, and that's true, too, but sometimes you don't have a decision in that.
"People fall out of love, they do. When children are teenagers, they have a say in where they want to be. Los Angeles is a big draw, and I'm looking to get a place there so we can share more."
Kidman also revealed that her kids call her Nicole.
"My kids don't call me mommy, they don't even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it," Kidman says.
Puppet love
Being a celebrity news columnist, I've seen and written about some way out stuff in my time, but this, well, it's the icing on the cake.
So desperate is Winona Ryder to resurrect her flagging career, she's stooped so low she'll gladly strip down to her undies and simulate sex with a ventriloquist's dummy.
Has she been taking lessons from hillbilly Britney?
Ryder is soon to star in off-beat comedy The Ten, and plays the role of a married woman who falls in love with a doll.
The struggling actress tells The Sun that she now embraces risky roles: "You know, it's not a script that I think a lot of agents would offer, and those are always the scripts that I always want.
"I tend to be drawn to things that some agents might try and dissuade me from doing.
"The movie is obviously satirical and dirty, but it's not mean."
I'd show you the racy clip, but I think my editor would castrate me.
You could always look on YouTube...
Reesenhaal go mile high?
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon were reportedly spotted going into the loo at the same time during a long haul flight from Frankfurt to Los Angeles reports Star magazine.
A source tells the magazine: "Reese and Jake kissed and cuddled together under a blanket in her recliner seat in the back row."
Witherspoon then allegedly got up and went to the john, and was shortly followed by Gyllenhaal, who went into the same toilet.
"I started timing them - they were together in there for 11-minutes."
The same source says that Gyllenhaal came out first, and she followed minutes later.
Scandal!
Sex and The Piccies
More piccies of Sarah Jessica Parker on the set of Sex and The City: The Movie are emerging.

No more Bond?
Daniel Craig and his girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell attended world premiere of The Golden Compass in London this week, and the star denied signing on to star in any more James Bond films.
Contrary to statements made by MGM mogul Harry Sloan to The Hollywood Reporter last month that the handsome blonde was signed on for four more Bond films, Craig said, "I never said that".
He adds: "Well, that's what's been said, it's not that it's not true, because I haven't signed up.
"What I've done is I've signed up on the next movie [Bond 22], after that we'll see. That's the way I'm doing it, and certainly it's not four more - that's the truth. It's certainly not four more."

Dogg-tastic

It's off the chain and rather fabulous.
He's clearly borrowed Madonna's vocal-twisting vocoder and fancies himself something chronic in that pimp-tastic clobber.

Scrap all residual memory you might have about Brad Pitt and Angelina's relationship being on the skids - it's clearly red-hot.
The Daily Mail reports that the loved-up pair was spotted in classy sex shop Coco De Mer in London this week.
The newspaper claims Jolie, who was in town to promote new film, Beowulf, asked her chauffer to drop her off at the Covent Garden store.
A source tells the newspaper: "Brad and Angelina ordered a car to take them directly to the sex shop.
"It wasn't as if they were walking around and just bumped into it. They specifically asked to go there."
The pair reportedly spent about an hour browsing around the shop and eyeing up all sort of kinky paraphernalia, before emerging with a black plastic bag full of titillating goodies.
Oh, you saucy devils.
Life & Style magazine claims crafty Jolie might have an ulterior motive for making the saucy shopping spree, saying: "Angie's having fun playing the role of seductress. But she also has a purpose - she really wants another baby!"
