Even as Lindsay Lohan seems to moving towards slowly getting some semblance of a functional life back, her father, bat-guano insane Michael Lohan, is in trouble with the law once again.

Michael, whom Lindsay has previously considered getting a restraining order against, was arrested in the beginning of April for threatening to kill his fiance and himself if she broke up with him. He appeared in a New York court yesterday to answer to those charges.

This…is…HOLLYWOOD!

300 star Gerard Butler has been charged with criminal battery after allegedly beating up a photographer last year.

According to court documents, Gerry got into a tousle with a paparazzo outside the premiere party for Guy Ritchie's film RocknRolla at Crown Bar in Hollywood. He is accused of attacking the photog and punching him in the mouth.

Representatives for the actor insist the photographer was stalking the star.

Butler is due to be arraigned on June 10th in a Los Angeles court.

Kiefer Sutherland, star of Fox's 24, turned himself into police at New York City’s First Precinct around 4pm yesterday.

He was arrested on the third-degree assault charge, photographed and fingerprinted, and walked out of the precinct at about 6pm accompanied by his Los Angeles lawyer, Blair Berk.

All this stems from an incident over the weekend where Kiefer allegedly headbutted fashion designer Jack McCullough without cause.

A woman accused of stalking Tyler Perry, Dawne Wilson, was arrested for aggravated stalking Wednesday outside Perry’s production studios in Atlanta.

Perry already has a restraining order against Wilson, who has done a number of these freakish drive bys.

Radar is reporting that Redmond O’Neal was in possession of heroin and Xanax when he was arrested at the Pitchess Detention Center in Castaic, California yesterday.

Alex Da Silva thinks he can do a lot more than dance.

And his heinous ass is in jail now because of it.

The 41-year-old So You Think You Can Dance choreographer and performer was arrested on Saturday on four counts of sexual assault.

The alleged attacks took place between May 2003 and March 2009, though police believe there may be more victims.

According to the LAPD, all of the victims were his students at the time. Da Silva is accused of luring them to his homes in North Hollywood and Van Nuys, California, and raping them.

How repugnant.

Redmond O’Neal is a frickin’ mess. 

Redmond, the son of Oscar-nominated actor Ryan O’Neal and currently hospitalized actress Farrah Fawcett, was arrested Sunday morning for possession of narcotics and for bringing narcotics into a jail facility.

Two years after she died of an accidental prescription drug overdose, Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer and alleged ex-boyfriend Howard K. Stern, along with two doctors who wrote prescriptions for Smith, were charged Thursday with obtaining drugs for Smith.

Coolio has been charged with felony possession of cocaine base, misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor possession of a smoking device following his arrest at LAX on Friday.

The 45-year-old rapper was stopped in the Southwest Airlines terminal at Los Angeles International Airport as he tried to go through security.

Authorities searched his baggage and allegedly found crack and a crack pipe. According to the incident report, Coolio grabbed one of the screener’s arms in an attempt to stop the search.

What’s cookin’, Coolio?

Apparently some crack rock.

The rapper, whose real name is Artis Leon Ivey Jr., was arrested at LAX on Friday for drug possession.

He was allegedly found with crack cocaine while going through security on his way to catching a flight to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he was scheduled to perform with Tone Loc (yeah “Funky Cold Medina”!) and Shock G of Digital Underground. If you care to remember, Shock G was the one “who put the satin on your panties.”
