Lohan ready to move past stint in rehab
Lindsay Lohan has checked out of a drug and alcohol treatment program in Utah that she entered in August, according to People magazine.

Lohan, 21, left the Cirque Lodge treatment center on Friday afternoon, the magazine reported on its Web site, citing statements from her parents.

“I'm proud of her. She's moving ahead with her life,” her mother, Dina, told People Friday. “Things were getting out of control. She took action. She took responsibility. She really needed to heal.”

The exclusive center, which promises anonymity to clients, refused Saturday to confirm or deny the report. Calls to Lohan's publicist and attorney were not immediately returned.

Lohan's visit to Cirque Lodge was her third trip to rehab since January, a frenetic year in which she wrecked a Mercedes-Benz, released the box-office flop “I Know Who Killed Me” and was arrested more than once.

Lohan has been prominently in the public eye since becoming a star at 11 in the Disney film “The Parent Trap.” She's also appeared in “Mean Girls,” “Freaky Friday,” “Herbie Fully Loaded” and numerous other films. In recent years, however, she's become better known for nonstop appearances on the Hollywood nightclub scene.

“Now that she is going out into the world, I can only hope for the best,” her father, Michael Lohan, told People.

Broadway stagehand talks to resume Tuesday

Stagehands and producers will talk again on Tuesday.

The two sides negotiated until nearly midnight Friday in an effort to resolve contract issues that could potentially shut down much of Broadway just as the fall theater season is getting under way.

“Both sides feel it would be beneficial to resume on Tuesday,” union spokesman Bruce Cohen said Saturday. He described Friday's talks as frank and businesslike.

Discussions reportedly have been tense this week between Local One, the stagehands union, and the League of American Theatres and Producers. Most of the conflict has involved the thorny issue of load-ins, the complicated physical setting-up of a show in a theater.

Producers say the rules governing load-ins are cumbersome and expensive, requiring more stagehands than needed. The union says the rules are necessary.

Rapper in trouble over rental car returned late

Rapper Beanie Sigel will surrender next week to face charges in a dispute over a rental car, his attorney said.

Sigel, whose real name is Dwight Grant, rented a 2007 Nissan Altima from Payless Car Rental in southwest Philadelphia in July, investigators said. The car was due back on Aug. 13, but Sigel did not return it in time or contact the rental company, police said. Payless, which continued to charge the rapper's credit card, reported the car stolen on Sept. 6. Someone returned the car to Payless on Friday, just as detectives went to Sigel's home in the suburb of Lansdale to arrest him, police said.
