Over the years, the medication I was on included: Depacote, Lamictal, Zyprexa, Abilify, Zoloft, Ativan, Triavil, and Klonopin. I was drinking, doing coke, cutting myself in my dressing room. I was repeatedly shipped off to rehab or a psychiatric unit, and once taken out of the SNL offices in a straightjacket.”

Lopez Admits Tears Were And Act

Jennifer Lopez should win an Oscar for her latest acting gig. Lopez shed crocodile tears on stage at Mohegan Sun the other night, but it was all just an act. Lopez told “Access Hollywood” that the tears she cried on Saturday were all part of her shtick. “After I sang the song, I’m standing there, and I realized that I did bare a little bit of my thoughts in this song. I also acted it out, kind of, for the audience. The way they received it was very touching,” she explained. As we reported yesterday, the tears came after J.Lo performed “One Love” and paraded a series of models out on stage that resembled her and her exes. “I think they felt what I felt, which is, you know, I’m just a girl, just like everybody else, trying to find my way. I felt like they got that, and they understood it, and we were all like one at that moment. It was very, very touching. It kind of overwhelmed me,” Lopez said.

Scientologists Target ‘South Park'

An episode of “South Park” from 2005 that parodied the Church of Scientology was so upsetting to leaders of the religious sect that it secretly investigated the show’s creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, according to documents made public yesterday. Private investigators for the church allegedly staked out the “South Park” offices, rifled through Stone’s and Parker’s trash, and even tried to recruit a mole to infiltrate the team, former high-ranking Scientologist Mark Rathburn says. The goal, according to Rathburnn, was to dig up dirt, which the church could use to pressure the show into not poking fun at the church. The Scientology investigators failed to dig up anything juicy enough, so they set their sights on actors John Stamos and Rebecca Romjin – who were friends with Parker and Stone. All of this was the result of a “South Park” episode, “Trapped In A Closet,” depicting Stan Marsh becoming a Scientologist because it was “fun and free.” On the show, he was discovered to be the reincarnation of the church’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard.

Broadway Night On ‘Dancing With the Stars’

Sparks flew on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” last night when head judge Len Goodman and pro partner Maksim Chmerkovsiky had a testy exchange following Goodman’s critique of Hope Solo.

Chaz Bono performed the tango to the theme from “The Phantom of the Opera” and was the night’s lowest scorer with 19 points. Hope Solo danced a rumba to the song “Seasons of Love” from the musical “Rent” and earned 20 points. “This is your worst dance of the whole season, in my opinion. I’m really disappointed,” Goodman said, pointing out that Solo was leading with her heel. When Solo’s partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, said that the audience was focused on the pair’s entire journey, not one aspect of last night’s performance, Goodman stated that he’d been in the business for 50 years, only to be cut off by Chmerkovskiy’s retorting, “Maybe it’s time to get out.” Judge Carrie Ann Inaba immediately shot back at Maksim, telling him, “Don’t be disrespectful like that.” Last night’s scores:

Ricki Lake and Derek Hough: 29	Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke: 22
J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff: 29	Hope Solo and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: 20

LiLo Shows Up Early For Morgue Duty

Lindsay Lohan showed up to the Los Angeles County Morgue at 5:35 a.m. Friday morning – nearly 90 minutes ahead of her scheduled 7 a.m. community service starting time. The early arrival was no doubt an attempt not to repeat last Thursday’s mistake, when Lohan showed up 20 minutes late, then was turned away, said Coroner Assistant Chief, Ed Winter. Judge Stephanie Sautner last week ordered the actress to perform janitorial duty at the morgue twice a week while free on bail until a November 2nd hearing, when it will be determined if she violated probation in a case related to a stolen necklace.

“Real Housewives of D.C.” star Michaele Salahi was taken on a Beverly Hills shopping spree by her rocker boyfriend, Journey guitarist Neal Schon, who bought her more than $10,000 worth of lingerie. Sources say the shopping trip was inspired after Michaele’s estranged husband Tareq Salahi sold off all of Michaele’s underwear and bras at an auction in early October.

“Paranormal Activity 3” made a ton of noise at the box office with a record-setting $54 million opening. The third film in Paramount Pictures’ low-budget fright franchise, which was No. 1 at the box office, had the biggest debut ever for a horror movie, according to studio estimates. It broke the previous record part two set a year ago with $40.7 million. It’s also the biggest opening ever for an October release, topping the $50.35 million Paramount’s “Jackass 3D” made last year. “Paranormal Activity 3” is actually a prequel, with the discovery of disturbing home-movie footage from 1988. The first “Paranormal Activity,” with its reported $15,000 budget, became a phenomenon in 2009 through midnight screenings and word of mouth.

Selena Gomez Stalker A Repeat Offender

A man ordered to stay away from singer/actress Selena Gomez has a history of stalking, according to authorities in his native Illinois. Gomez has been granted a restraining order against Thomas Brodnicki after the 46-year-old allegedly told his psychiatrist he was going to kill the star after having conversations with God about her. The teenager and her lawyer, Blair Berk, claimed Brodnicki was picked up for mental evaluation last month after he allegedly threatened to “scratch people’s eyes out on the street,” and now the full details of his criminal past have been unveiled. Brodnicki was arrested in 2003 on charges that he stalked a waitress at a Des Plaines, Illinois, restaurant. He was eventually convicted in 2008 and sentenced to three years in prison, but only after he was found unfit to stand trial in 2007 and re-committed to a mental health facility. Just three months after his sentencing, he was arrested again in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, and charged with cyberstalking a college student.

Prosecutors Want Lindsay Lohan Back In Jail

Los Angeles city prosecutors plan to ask a judge to send Lindsay Lohan back to jail for violating terms of her probation. The judge will review Lohan’s probation progress today as part of a sentence stemming from probation in a 2007 drunken driving conviction and a May misdemeanor theft conviction. The actress rarely appeared at a women’s shelter for 350 hours of required service and never showed up at the coroner’s office, where she was supposed to do another 120 hours of community service. She is now seeking to complete the women’s shelter hours at the American Red Cross. “She was terminated from the women’s center program for failing to show up. This was one of the terms of her probation. So we will seek jail time for her,” said a spokesman for the city attorney. Lohan was ordered in May to have her 480 hours of community service completed by April 2012. As of last week, she had reportedly completed 21 of 360 hours required at the skid row shelter for women.

Shia LaBeouf got into a fight outside a club on Granville Street last week and was repeatedly punched in the head by a hairy, shirtless man. It’s not exactly clear what provoked the attack but LaBeouf had gotten into it with another man inside the Cinema Public House. Security kicked both parties out and that’s when the other man tore his shirt off and started beating the actor. After the fight, LaBeouf tried chasing the man, but his friends held him back and told him to “lay low.” TMZ has video footage of the fight, which shows LaBeouf lying on the ground while being punched by the man.

Lemony Snicket Occupies Movement

A large group of authors including Lemon Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) have issued a show of support for the demonstrators at Occupy Wall Street. At the OccupyWriters website (http://occupywriters.com), you can see a list of the supporters, and read some original commentary. The offering from Snicket-Handler, famous for the “Series of Unfortunate Events” series, managed to be funny and ominous at the same time, writing:  

• “People who say money doesn’t matter are like people who say cake doesn’t matter – it’s probably because they’ve already had a few slices.”

• “It is not always the job of people shouting outside impressive buildings to solve problems. It is often the job of the people inside, who have paper, pens, desks, and an impressive view.”
  
• “Historically, a story about people inside impressive buildings ignoring or even taunting people standing outside shouting at them turns out to be a story with an unhappy ending.”
  

Carson Kressley Booted Off ‘Dancing With The Stars’

Kressley had dressed in a cheerleader’s outfit for his routine with pro partner, Anna Trebunskaya. “This has been pure joy for me,” he said after learning he’d been axed.

Susan Sarandon In Hot Water For Referring To Pope As Nazi

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is asking actress Susan Sarandon to apologize to the Catholic Community and “all those she may have offended” when she referred to Pope Benedict XVI as a “Nazi” at the Hamptons Film Festival this weekend. Sarandon told actor Bob Balaban in an interview on Saturday that she had sent the Pope a copy of the anti death penalty book, “Dead Man Walking.” She starred in the 1995 film adaptation of the book. Clarifying which Pope received her package, Sarandon said, “The last one, not this Nazi one we have now.” Balaban tried to dance around the comment, but Sarandon just made it again, according to reports. The audience also laughed. The ADL said Sarandon’s comment was “disturbing, deeply offensive and completely uncalled for attack on the good name of Pope Benedict XVI.” The Pope’s PR people acknowledged that Benedict was a member of the Hitler Youth as a boy, a requirement at the time for German boys his age – but the rep insists he had no “active participation” in the group.

‘Harry Potter’ Villain Busted With Bomb

A “Harry Potter” actor was charged last month with having a Molotov cocktail – a crude gasoline bomb – stemming from his alleged involvement in this summer’s England riots. Jamie Waylett, who played Draco Malfoy’s sidekick Vincent Crabbe in six Harry Potter films, is facing a slew of charges stemming from his alleged involvement in the riots. Authorities allege the 22-year-old Waylett armed himself on August 8th with a Molotov cocktail with intent to destroy or damage property during the melee that made worldwide headlines and led to the arrest of more than 3,000 people. Police also discovered 15 marijuana plants in his bedroom – a big no-no considering the actor was busted for growing marijuana in 2009. Waylett’s previous run-in with the law was part of the reason his character was written out of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.” Waylett was eventually released on bail; he’s due back in court on November 11th.

Studio Won’t Release ‘Tower Heist’ Early For Rent

Universal Pictures has dropped plans to release “Tower Heist” for home rental three weeks after it opens in theaters next month. The action-comedy stars Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller. The studio’s decision comes after some theaters had threatened to boycott the movie. Theater managers had said early availability of video-on-demand films at home might mean people will skip seeing it in theaters. There’s usually a window of three to four months between a studio film’s release in theaters and when it’s available to watch at home. But looking to make up for declining DVD revenue, studios have been experimenting with narrower windows to see how much people might be willing to pay to see movies at home earlier. Universal had planned to charge $60 to rent “Tower Heist.”

Fonzie’s ‘Happy Days’ Motorcycle To Be Sold At Auction

The 1949 Triumph Trophy TR5 ridden by The Fonz (Henry Winkler) in “Happy Days” is up for auction, and experts say it could fetch more than $90,000. The bike has reportedly been sitting unused for 15 years in a motorcycle shop, having been bought by someone who didn’t know its pedigree. The bike needs a bit of work before it can be ridden; no one has used it since “Happy Days” ended in 1984. “The bike in its present condition couldn’t pull the skin of a rice pudding,” said Nick Smith, auctioneer at Bonhams. “It has an unknown mileage because the speedo is broken and it hasn’t worked in years.” The motorcycle will be auctioned November 12th in Los Angeles.

SWAT Team Raids Pitt’s ‘World War Z’ Warehouse

A SWAT team raided a Budapest warehouse holding weapons being used in Brad Pitt’s upcoming zombie movie “World War Z” on Monday. “The film is already over budget and over schedule,” a source tells Us Weekly. “Brad is furious.” Police seized 85 fully-functional weapons, most of which were automatic, military-style assault rifles. The problem, a source says, is that the guns came with paperwork claiming they were non-functional – but they’re actually in working order. Hajdu Janos and Zsolt Bodnar, the director and deputy director of Hungary’s Anti-Terrorism Unit, told Us Weekly: “Guns like these are highly illegal to transport even if they were used as stage guns, which hopefully they weren’t.” Before filming in Budapest, “World War Z” was shooting in Glasgow, Scotland. The movie is scheduled to hit theaters in December 2012.

The controversy began last week during an interview on “Fox & Friends” in which Williams compared President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner playing golf together to Adolf Hitler playing golf with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. ESPN yanked Williams’ “are you ready for some football” introduction to its Monday Night Football telecasts. Now Williams has recorded “Keep the Change,” whose lyrics “Fox & Friends” twisted his words: “So Fox ‘n Friends wanna put me down/Ask for my opinion/Twist it all around.” He finishes the verse: “Well two can play that gotcha game you’ll see.” Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar of “The View” are among those who have defended Williams’ right of freedom of speech. Williams said, “After watching the clip of their show, I knew I needed to talk to them first.” He posted “Keep the Change” on his website and is offering it as a free download for 48 hours.

Hank Jr.’s MNF Role Temporarily Filled

Hank Williams Jr.’s opening segment for ESPN’s Monday Night Football telecast will be initially filled by former Detroit Lions running back Barry Sanders and Detroit-based soul singer Jimmy Scott and the Selected of God gospel choir. Williams and ESPN parted ways last week after he made derogatory comments about President Obama during an interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.” To open tonight’s game between the Chicago Bears and the Lions at Detroit’s Ford Field, Sanders will provide narration and Scott and the choir will perform “Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City,” a song popularized by Bobby “Blue” Bland in the ‘70s. An ESPN spokesperson said the video is not intended to be a replacement for Williams’ famous “Are you ready for some football?” featured on “Monday Night Football” since 1989; he said the “spot will look different every week.”

Redmond O’Neal Has State of the Art Monitoring Bracelet Attached

Redmond O’Neal, Ryan O’Neal’s 26-year-old son, had his sentencing last week for a probation violation and was fitted with a GPS monitoring bracelet. Redmond’s probation had been revoked in September when he snuck out of rehab and ordered drugs from a payphone. Now the judge has sent him back to rehab, with a GPS bracelet.

Zsa Zsa Undergoes Surgery

Zsa Zsa Gabor had surgery yesterday to reattach a feeding tube to her stomach after being hospitalized in Los Angeles a day earlier. The 94-year-old actress was doing well, a spokesman said.

She later underwent hip replacement surgery, which led to a further stay in the hospital. She had a leg amputated in January.

Fox Renews ‘Simpsons’ For 2 Years

“The Simpsons” were renewed Friday for two more seasons. The popular show was facing the axe by Fox due to a pay dispute between the network and the six main cast members who were refusing to take the 45% pay cut the network wanted them to, which would almost halved their $8 million season payout. Although terms of the deal has not been revealed, it is believed to involve the actors receiving a cut of the profits made from the massive amount of merchandise sold in relation to the show. The Simpsons will now be guaranteed a 24th and 25th season before another review is carried out. Earlier Friday, Harry Shearer released a statement saying, “We’ve had a great run and no one should feel sorry for any of us.” Shearer admitted that his salary was “ridiculous by any normal standard,” and added “But given how much joy the show has given so many people over the years – and given how many billions of dollars in profits News Corp. has earned and will earn from it – I find it hard to believe that this is Fox’s final word on the subject.”

Joe Francis Loses $2 Million Gambling Debt Case

“Girls Gone Wild” founder Joe Francis has lost a case in the Nevada Supreme Court over $2 million owed to the Wynn Las Vegas casino. The high court ruled that a lower court was right to grant summary judgment favoring the casino because Francis abused his constitutional rights by repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment at a deposition during questioning from Wynn lawyers, even on questions like whether he was married or if his father was alive. Francis had believed he was off the hook for the $2 million marker in September when a Las Vegas district court judge threw out the case, saying the Wynn casino waited too long to collect the funds from Francis. But Thursday’s ruling puts him $2 million in the hole with the Wynn.

Limo Company Sues Lohan

A California limousine company is suing Lindsay Lohan over a $90,000 bill she allegedly racked up in 2009. Elite Transportation Limo and Security Services claims the actress hired them at a rate of $6,000 an hour, which also includes bodyguard services, for herself and various friends and family. Elite said the actual bill was just under $34,000, but penalties and late fees pushed the total to nearly six figures. Lohan probably won’t be requiring the services of Elite or any other limo any time soon. She recently bought herself a new Porsche from a Los Angeles showroom for about $80,000.

Fox Says Can’t Afford More ‘Simpsons’ Without Cuts

Fox says it can no longer afford to produce “The Simpsons” without a huge pay cut for its cast. Fox issued a statement after a report by the Daily Beast said the network had threatened to end the series unless the voice actors take a 45% pay cut. “We believe this brilliant series can and should continue, but we cannot produce future seasons under its current financial model,” Fox said. “We are hopeful that we can reach an agreement with the voice cast that allows ‘The Simpsons’ to go on entertaining audiences with original episodes for many years to come.” “The Simpsons,” currently in its 23rd season, is the longest-running comedy series on television.

DiCaprio Named Ambassador For International Fund For Animal Welfare

Leonardo DiCaprio is heading a campaign to shut down ivory trading. The International Fund for Animal Welfare is organizing the effort. The campaign, launched this week as part of an annual international education program, is targeting seven million teachers, students and their families in more than 15 countries. DiCaprio serves as the global ambassador for the program, which highlights a different animal and conservation theme each year. This year the campaign’s theme is “Elephants, Never Forget,” and focuses on the crisis that elephants face 20 years after the enactment of an international ban on ivory trading. “Authorities in 85 countries have seized almost 400 tons of ivory on the black market since the 1989 ivory trade ban,” DiCaprio said. “In the past century, the number of elephants in the wild has declined by 50 percent. Their disappearance could devastate ecosystems and have a lasting impact on the biodiversity of our planet.” For more info on the elephant slaughter, the illegal ivory trade and how you can help, go to www.ifaw.org.

Hank Williams Jr. Issues Apology

Hank Williams Jr. issued an apology yesterday, one day after ESPN pulled his introductory song for “Monday Night Football” after he used an analogy involving Adolph Hitler and President Obama to make a political point. In a statement posted on Facebook and his website, Hank Jr. said that his passion for politics and sports “got the best or worst of me.” In an interview Monday on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends,” Williams compared a golf match between President Obama and House Speaker John Boehner, who is a Republican, to “Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.” He then proclaimed Obama and Joe Biden as “the enemy.” “The thought of the leaders of both parties jukin and high fiven on a golf course while so many families are struggling to get by simply made me boil over and make a dumb statement,” Williams said yesterday. “I am very sorry if it offended anyone.” ESPN had no comment on whether Williams’ song would be used on future telecasts.
