Celebnews: Lindsay Lohan Ordered To Wear Alcohol-Monitoring Bracelet By Judge

On Monday (May 24), a stern Superior Court judge warned troubled actress Lindsay Lohan that she needs to keep on the straight and narrow if she wishes to avoid a return trip to jail. After Lohan missed her initial court date last week, claiming that her passport was stolen while she was attending the Cannes film festival in France, CBS News reported that a "somber and concerned" looking Lohan appeared in a Beverly Hills, California, courtroom and lost a bid to ease the restrictions of her probation.

Wearing a dark gray suit, Lohan appeared in court with her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, who told Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel that her client was scheduled to start filming a movie in Texas soon. The judge was not swayed and said the actress may have to delay the project, ordering Lohan to attach a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet to her ankle that will require her to undergo mandatory drug testing every week in the Los Angeles area if she wishes to stay free on bail. Revel also set a probation-violation hearing for July 6 following Lohan's failure to attend last week’s scheduled hearing.

In an interview with Hollywood TV published Monday, Lohan argued that she doesn't need jail or rehab, saying, "I don't see what reason I would go to prison for. I've been more than compliant with everything having to do with the court system". Though she has frequently been pictured partying until all hours of the morning, Lohan said she didn't think she needed to make a return trip to rehab. "I don't see why I would even have to do that", she said, "considering I've been in compliance with everything that occurs when you're in the court system for two DUIs".

According to TMZ, Lohan must begin wearing the SCRAM bracelet — which she wore in 2007 following her plea in the DUI cases — within 24 hours and attend all her scheduled alcohol education classes at least once a week.

If Revel determines that Lohan violated her probation by not attending her alcohol education classes as ordered, she could face a jail sentence of up to 180 days.

Classic Hits: A-Teens - Can't Help Falling In Love

"Can't Help Falling In Love" was the A*Teens's first single from their third album "Pop 'Til You Drop!", as well as for the Lilo & Stitch movie soundtrack, which was originally scheduled to include several Presley tracks, the A*Teens picking it for inclusion in the soundtrack. The video had thus tremendous exposure on several television channels, with the A*Teens eventually including the song in their third album. As a result, the song had two music videos, one to promote the Disney movie, the other for the album.

This pop song was a radio hit in the United States, and reached #12 in Sweden, #16 in Argentina and #41 in Australia. Despite the success of the song overseas, it failed to attract the rest of the Latin American public, due to the fact that there was a Spanish version of the song, performed by the Argentine group, Bandana. In addition, the A*Teens' version of the song was overshadowed by the promotion of Bandana's version.

The video was directed by Gregory Dark and filmed in Los Angeles, California. It had two different versions. The "Disney Version", as the fans named it, features scenes of the movie, and also new scenes of the A*Teens with beach costumes. The "A*Teens Version" of the video, features the A*Teens on the white background with different close-ups and choreography, and scenes with puppies and different costumes.

"Can't Help Falling In Love" was released by Walt Disney Records and Universal Music on 29 October 2002 with CD single format.

Celebnews: Farrah Franklin Would Do Destiny's Child Reunion


Despite having not spoken to any of Destiny’s Child in the 10 years that followed her unceremonious ousting from the group, Farrah Franklin has revealed that she is open to reuniting with the group's members.

"Right now, I'm kind of hearing about it with everyone else. It hasn't been presented to me yet. When it does or if it does, I'll deal with it as that. I'll have to see if it's something in real talks or if it's fake".
The singer, who last spoke to Beyoncé ten years ago, added: "I'm really a personable person and I would just want everyone to get along. Little Farrah has a lot on her shoulders and all I ask is happiness in return and for it to be fun. There's so many different personalities and it's been a long time, so you just don't know. I would be cool with everyone, I have no problems, but it's not about just me. There's five other people.”
