Warrant out for Lohan

An arrest warrant has been issued for actress Lindsay Lohan, which is believed to be in connection with her 2007 car crash, police in California said. The warrant was issued by a judge in Beverly Hills Superior Court and carries a bail amount of 50,000 dollars, Sergeant Mike Foxen said. "We believe it has to do with her arrest for DUI (driving under the influence," Sgt Foxen said.

He said he did not have any other details about the warrant. Neither Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, nor one of her lawyers, Shawn Chapman Holley, were available for comment. The 22-year-old star of the 2004 movie Mean Girls was arrested during the Memorial Day holiday weekend in 2007 after crashing her Mercedes into a tree in Beverly Hills.

She was arrested again last July after the mother of her former personal assistant reported that her car was being chased by a sport utility vehicle. Police said Lohan was at the wheel of the SUV and she was arrested in Santa Monica. In connection with those cases, Lohan pleaded guilty in August 2007 to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine, and not guilty to two counts of driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08% and one count of reckless driving. Lohan spent 84 minutes in jail and had to perform community service and undergo drug rehabilitation treatment. Lohan also was placed on probation for three years.

Quiet day with family for ill Jade

Cancer-stricken Jade Goody spent a quiet day with her husband and mother on Saturday after her condition deteriorated, her publicist said. The former Big Brother contestant had been hoping for visits from friends and loved ones but they were told not to go because she was not well enough, Max Clifford said. He said a doctor was visiting her home in Waltham Abbey, Essex, where her husband, Jack Tweed, and her mother, Jackiey Budden, were at her bedside.

Her young sons, Bobby and Freddy, were with their father, TV presenter Jeff Brazier. Earlier, Mr Clifford said Goody was on the "edge of a precipice" after a nurse urgently called Tweed to the house on Friday night. Mr Clifford said: "She was in a bad way last night (Friday), she was panicking. The nurse was obviously concerned and decided she should call Jack. He went over and calmed her down and she went to sleep. She settled down and had a comfortable night."

Asked if this meant Goody was close to the end, Mr Clifford said: "She has deteriorated, she is very weak. The answer is, who knows? We are on the edge of a precipice."
