Busboy alleges Lohan was drinking
The busboy who sued Lindsay Lohan alleges in court papers that he has proof the actress had been drinking before she collided with his van in October 2005.
Raymundo Ortega, who is seeking $200,000 in damages, contends Lohan drove her Mercedes-Benz into a van he was driving after she drank alcohol and later tried to escape paparazzi.
The court papers were filed Tuesday.
Lohan, 21, has countersued, saying the California Highway Patrol concluded that Ortega caused the crash by making an illegal U-turn in Beverly Hills.
Her lawyers were scheduled to ask a judge next month to compel Ortega to prove the actress was drunk. Instead, they filed to cancel the Los Angeles Superior Court hearing, saying Ortega provided responses to their discovery request.
Lohan was 19 at the time of the crash. She recently spent more than a month at a drug and alcohol treatment program in Utah, her third visit to rehab this year.
Last week, the celebrity gossip site TMZ.com published what it said was a receipt showing Lohan and four friends ordered four Ivy Gimlets, a vodka drink.
Rhys Meyers apologizes for drunken rage
Prosecutors dropped charges against Jonathan Rhys Meyers on Wednesday after he expressed remorse - through his lawyer - for being drunk and abusive at Dublin Airport.
Rhys Meyers, 30, was arrested Nov. 18. The Irish actor faced two charges of public drunkenness and breach of the peace for being abusive after he was refused permission to board a flight to London.
Rhys Meyers did not appear at the Dublin District Court arraignment Wednesday. State prosecutors said they had accepted an apology from the actor and dropped the charges.
Rhys Meyers, however, was given a legal caution - a probationary action under which he could face harsher penalties if he behaves that way in public in Ireland again.
Cosmetics company sues Teri Hatcher for $2.4 M
Teri Hatcher is being told to pucker up and pay $2.4 million to a skin-care products company that says she promoted the wrong lip gloss.
Hydroderm's lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, claims that a 2005 agreement with ISBE Productions, Hatcher's production company, stipulated the star of ABC's “Desperate Housewives” wouldn't endorse other competing products as part of a $2.4 million endorsement deal.
According to the lawsuit, the company learned last summer that Hatcher was also promoting CityLips, a lip plumper made by City Cosmetics that competes with Hydroderm's lip plumper.
