Lindsay Lohan Accused Of Flooding Ex-Boyfriend's Apartment
Lohan, who lives above Morton's Sierra Towers home in Hollywood, is being held responsible for the flood, which caused $150,000 worth of damage, according to TMZ.com.Security staff at the posh complex claim they gained entry to Lohan's vacant apartment last month after Morton reported the flood - and found "water overflowing in the bathtub."In his report, the security officer wrote, "It seems that they left the faucet on. I turned it off."But the incident report has left Lohan baffled because she claims she was in New York when the flood took place, even though video footage suggests the actress/singer was partying in Los Angeles on the night in question.

Sanjaya Attends Dodger Game, Gets Booed
Star magazine reports that when 'American Idol' finalist Sanjaya Malakar attended game at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles on Saturday (April 14), he was met with an unpleasant reaction from baseball fans when the stadium's cameras were trained on the much maligned reality show star. "He was just sitting there having a good time with his friends, just like a regular person," an eyewitness who was at the game tells the tabloid. "And when the Dodger camera noticed him the camera guy ran over and taped him. Sanjaya's face pops up on the big screen right away. At first he smiled, he seemed to like the attention. But when the entire crowd at the stadium started to boo--and it was loud!--his smile faded a bit and his eyes looked sad. It's like he was trying to keep a fake smile on, but you could tell he was crestfallen. He just kept waving and smiling for a few seconds more then his image went off the screen."

Women to self-create
Scientists have grown human sperm cells from bone marrow, it emerged last night.They say this may lead to groundbreaking treatment for thousands of men, including cancer patients left sterile by chemotherapy.But the technique provoked an ethical storm and could soon be jettisoned by the Government over concerns about the safety of using artificial sperm.Critics said the treatment threatened to breach moral boundaries as it would effectively lead to men being made redundant.The technique, which could be adapted to help female infertility by growing eggs in a lab, would raisethe prospect of children being born through entirely artificial means.
