Dr. Drew's alleged stalker loses lawsuit

Charles Pearson was arrested by police at Pierce College in Woodland Hills, California last week (03Mar10) after Pinsky reported him to authorities, claiming he had been sending threatening messages over the internet. Pearson later pleaded not guilty to one count of stalking and five counts of making criminal threats.

It was revealed Pearson had filed a small claims suit against the Celebrity Rehab host in Los Angeles County Superior Court on 8 February (10), just weeks before his arrest.

The lawsuit demanded $2,500 (£1,560), alleging the medic "performed illegal surgery" on him.

But a judge at L.A. Superior Court threw out the case on Monday (08Mar10) after both parties failed to attend a hearing, according to TMZ.com.

Pearson is currently behind bars on $400,000 (£260,667) bail.

Heart procedure for Lohan's dad

Michael Lohan was rushed to hospital on Saturday (06Mar10) after suffering agonising pains as he prepared for a celebrity boxing match.

He was released later that night, but now the Mean Girls actress' father needs a catheterization - a medical procedure to diagnose certain heart conditions - according to TMZ.com.

Lohan is reportedly taking medication to thin his blood, and is also on anti-angina drug nitroglycerin, reports the website.

He tells TMZ.com, "I've felt better. (The hospital visit) was quick... I don't know if it's a bloodclot or if I need scans for what it is. We'll find out soon... I'm just finding out what's going on, we'll see what happens."

Betty White Confirms She’s Headed To ‘Saturday Night Live’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Betty White says she will, in fact, be heading to “Saturday Night Live” this season.

According to People, when the 88-year-old actress was asked if she was doing the NBC show at Elton John’s 18th annual Oscars viewing party on Sunday night, she answered, “Yes.”

“I don’t know why or how,” she said, “but it’s been wonderful.”

The actress reportedly did not offer up any details on when she might appear on the show or if she would serve as host.

A massive online push to get the former “Golden Girl” on the NBC comedy show appears to have helped. “The Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!” Facebook page has almost 500,000 fans.
