Lindsay Lohan: I ADMIT EVERYTHING

-->

So stated Lindsay Lohan this morning in a stunning turn of events, as the troubled star copped to being a total mess and vowed to turn things around.

She also promised that she will check into rehab immediately and will not return to work (or whatever it is that she does) until early 2014 at the earliest."I've been living a lie for too long," Lindsay said early Monday. "I've been spiraling out of control, even if I didn't know it at the time. I lost track of who I am."

In an apparent shot at her family and management, she adds, "I've been surrounded by enablers instead of those who will guide me down the right path."

Lohan said her mentality has been to "deny, deny, deny" when it comes to getting into trouble with the law, or when it comes to personal issues.

That all stops now, she claims, and while we've heard it all before, never has she been more direct, or even acknowledged she has a problem at all.

"I've done many things I am not proud of," her statement continues. "I have not been forthcoming with the authorities, with my fans or with myself."

"I admit everything and ask that you forgive my mistakes. For so long, my approach has been to 'deny, deny, deny.' Today, I set out to change that."

"After a period of self-reflection I could no longer look at myself in the mirror. It is time to finally take responsibility and seek treatment for my addiction."

While Lindsay did not specify what that addiction entails, or confess to any specific crimes, the takeaway is clear: I admit everything. And I'm getting help.

Her statement concludes:

"As a result, I will be entering a 180-day in-patient treatment program effective immediately and will not return to work until next year at the earliest."

"I appreciate your well-wishes and hope that you will respect my privacy during this transitional period as I turn the page and become a better person."

It's taken a long time, but THG would like to applaud Lindsay Lohan for finally seeing the light and doing whatever it takes to get her life back on track.

Kate Gosselin, Bullyville Under Scrutiny For Exposing Haters' Identities Online

-->

Kate Gosselin and the website Bullyville recently encouraged the discovery of the real identities of some of the people who threatened her online.

Always a controversial figure, Kate is now at the center of a war between anti-bully activists and harsh critics of the reality star ... of which there are many.

James McGibney, head of Bullyville (dot com), exposed the real identities of numerous alleged Kate haters on Monday in a move that raised eyebrows.

He also threatened to call the employers of the Kate bashers, including the alleged older woman stalker who allegedly sent Kate more than 72,000 tweets.

For her part, Kate Gosselin is encouraging those who seek to protect her, as they reveal identities of others they said crossed the line while attacking her.

Throughout Monday, as McGibney unveiled the “real identities” of various Kate haters, Kate retweeted messages chronicling the unmasking of alleged bullies.

She previously expressed strong support for Bullyville and others who sought to protect her by revealing “bullies," thanking them for "cleaning house."

Kate recently Tweeted: “yes I proudly support all LEGAL means to bring bullies - who thought they could hide to light - on the internet or in school. @bullyville #stop”

But McGibney made it clear his actions were his own, and rejected the notion that Kate’s encouragement meant she was ordering an operation against her enemies.

“No one encourages me to do anything," the Bullyville founder told celebrity news site Radar Online. "I’m a grown man who makes his own decisions. :-)”

“For the record: Bullyville is going after Kate Gosselin’s bullies for specific death threats and over 100,000 slanderous and libelous posts.”

She clearly supports the mission. When Bullyville exposed one person believed to be dangerous to Kate Gosselin, she re-tweeted their message:

“Dear (name redacted), AGE 56, from (town redacted) Texas. Do you really think that your death threat references to @Kateplusmy8 are funny?”

The image above, showing Kate bloody and impaled, was reportedly a catalyst to start the operation to expose people he believes crossed the line.

But are they going too far in targeting alleged "bullies"?

One person “outed” as a Kate Gosselin hater said:

“He and bullyville put my name, address, phone number, my teen’s email address on (Web site redacted). For what!? Not liking Kate G?"

"Now bullyville is saying he is going to call employers."

"I don’t know what he would say that would get me in trouble but I am a single mom living paycheck to paycheck and Bullyville and Kate G are the real bullies here.

“I never attacked, threatened or harrassed her.”

Michael Jackson Wrongful Death Lawsuit: AEG, Singer's Drug Use on Trial

Michael Jackson's addiction to prescription drugs will be front and center in the wrongful death lawsuit against AEG, the trial for which begins today.

The late icon's mother, Katherine Jackson, and Michael's three minor children, Paris, Prince and Blanket, are suing AEG Live for its role in MJ's demise.

Their case rests on the claim that the company negligently hired and supervised Dr. Conrad Murray, who killed MJ with a massive overdose of Propofol.

How is Jackson's history with prescription drugs central to the trial?

According to TMZ, Jackson had at least 19 aliases to score Rx drugs from physicians, and would "doctor shop" to find professionals who would accommodate him.

Doctors and some dentists would justify giving MJ Propofol, a hospital-grade anesthetic, by saying they needed to put him under for minor procedures.

In one case, a famed doctor used a gynecologist's office, run by a doc who specialized in vaginal rejuvenation, to secure the anesthesia on his behalf.

The Jackson family will argue AEG Live had a duty to monitor Murray for what he was doing, even if it means bringing attention to Michael's flaws.

AEG will counter that Jackson is the one who found Murray in the first place and that Murray gave him Propofol long before the ill-fated "This Is It" tour.

AEG has a slew of doctors on its witness list to make the case that MJ's addiction was long established, to the argument clearly has two sides.

Katherine and the children are asking for more than $40 BILLION in damages; AEG clearly feels it can take its chances in court rather than settling.
