Lindsay Lohan's Mom Scolds Exec for Letter
A studio executive was "way out of line" for scolding Lindsay Lohan for her absences from the set of her new movie, the teen actress' mother told "Access Hollywood" in an interview set to air Monday.
Last week, James G. Robinson, CEO of Morgan Creek Productions, chided Lohan in a letter for her behavior on a movie set and doubted her absence was related to heat exhaustion.
"You and your representatives have told us that your various late arrivals and absences from the set have been the result of illness; today we were told it was 'heat exhaustion,'" Robinson wrote. "We are well aware that your ongoing all night heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called 'exhaustion.'"

Gawker Artists
Gawker Media, the people behind some of the most successful sites on the Internet, like Lifehacker (especially if success is measured by how much of their content is nicked, er, I mean linked, by us) and Gizmodo, have come up with an unusual idea for what to do with their spare advertising capacity.
If they don’t sell enough ads, they use the spare capacity to give publicity to artists, though a scheme they call Gawker Artists. If you’re an artist looking for a bit more exposure, you can submit some info and appropriately-sized images, and they might promote you too.
If you’re not, just flick through the work on display. In typical Gawker style, they’ve got some interesting and unusual work on display.
