A surveillance video in which actress Lindsay Lohan is alleged to have grazed a New York City chef with her Porsche earlier this week has been released.

Except whether anyone is actually being hit is hard to see, but take a look.



Police told Reuters Lohan clipped the 34-year-old man in an alley around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday. The man later went to the hospital saying his knee had been injured.

Lohan was arrested while exiting Manhattan’s Dream Hotel for leaving the scene of an accident.

New York Police told the news wire that Lohan was issued a desk summons and released.

"While some of the facts are still being gathered, it appears that this is much ado about nothing. We are confident this matter will be cleared up in the coming weeks and the claims being made against Lindsay will be proven untrue," spokesman Steve Honig said in a statement.

In response to the latest incident, Lohan’s mother Dina told the New York Daily News that she couldn’t make excuses for her daugher’s behavior.

“But she’s a 26-year-old woman,” said Dina Lohan, adding however, that if she were to do the whole raising Lindsay thing again, she might not let her be a child star.

And speaking of child stars,

Besides actress Amanda Bynes getting kicked out of her spin class earlier this week:




..sources close to the “She’s The Man” actress are disputing rumors that Bynes has been dropped by her lawyer, agent and publicist during the past few weeks.

It’s just “not true,” a source told E! News.

Now even it did happen to be “true,” that might work for Bynes, who in 2010 announced she was retiring from acting to pursue a career in fashion.

And why was she kicked out of that cycling class? Neither the instructor nor his gym have gone into it.

Tim Tebow does Vogue



The fabulous photographer Annie Leibovitz has struck gold yet again with her latest shots of Tim Tebow which appear in the October issue of Vogue. In it, the New York Jet talks about finding the right woman, who, by the way, ladies, will have “a servant’s heart.”

In other news…

...Paris Hilton has apologized for her disparaging comments about gay men that were recorded by a New York City cab driver earlier this month.

"I want to say how sorry I am. I can't fit the whole apology about the cab recording here, so please read it at @GLAAD," she tweeted Thursday about the conversation she had with a friend Sept. 7 about a phone hookup app.

...The party rockin’ duo LMFAO has announced it is splitting up indefinitely for its two members to pursue their individual interests.

"I feel like we've been doing this for so long, five or six years," Redfoo (Stefan Kendal Gordy) said this week. "And we're kind of like saying, well, let's just do what's natural and just kind of explore that, instead of like forcing it all the time."

“Just kind of explore that?” That sounds secure.

...Monday, news broke that “Hot Properties” actor Stephen Dunham died Sept. 14, days after suffering a heart attack in his home.

Dunham, who had roles in such shows as “What I Like About You” and “The Bill Engvall Show” as well movies including “Get Smart” and “Anger Management,’ died on his 48th birthday.

...No word from "Boss" actor Kelsey Grammer on why he split from the set of "Piers Morgan Tonight" before the interview. Morgan, who called Grammer’s move unprofessional, said the actor seemed fine backstage, but left abruptly after seeing an open photo of his ex-wife Camille.

A rep for Grammer responded saying Morgan needed to own up to what he did to the actor…whatever that was.

...If you missed one “Modern Family” actor’s big news, it’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s and he’s engaged.

...Singer Fiona Apple was arrested in Texas Wednesday after border patrol agents in Texas found marijuana and hashish on her tour bus.

"Fiona Apple Maggart, freely admitted that the controlled substances belonged to her and she was placed under arrest by U.S. Border Patrol agents and detained," officials said in a statement.

...And on a high note, doctors are saying Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts is ‘energized’ after the bone marrow transplant she underwent Thursday.

NBC reports that among those in the room supporting Roberts were her sisters Sally-Ann and Dorothy and ABC colleagues Diane Sawyer and Sam Champion.

"I don't think I will ever forget the power and love that was in that room," GMA weatherman Champion said on Friday's morning show.

Roberts' oncologist Dr. Gail Roboz said the next seven to 10 days are especially critical in Robert’s journey toward recovery.
