As Mel Gibson struggles to recover from the disastrous wreckage of his relationship with his baby's mother, new details have emerged about their negotiations for a child support agreement.

According to sources, Gibson hopes that he will be paying 6k a month in child support, in the agreement he has reached with Oksana Grigorieva, who has made Gibson's reputation plummet with the leak of tapes she recorded, that show him hatefully abusing her with many shocking epithets.

For someone who makes as much money as Gibson, the $6,000 is taken by many as a shockingly low figure, and one that may be hotly contested by divorce lawyers, It remains to be seen whether this will stand up in court.

Mel Gibson: 6K Child Support Drama

Mel Gibson reportedly wants to pay just $6,000 a month in child support. Lawyers for the 'Braveheart' actor are said to have told a judge overseeing his bitter custody battle with former lover Oksana Grigorieva - the mother of his nine-month-old daughter Lucia - that the 54-year-old star spends a staggering $7.2 million a year on himself but he does not want to increase payments for his daughter. According to RadarOnline.com, Mel's lawyers insist some of Oksana's requests - such as he pays for bodyguards - are unnecessary as Lucia is still just a baby. In contrast, they argue the money he spends on himself is necessary for his living expenses and doesn't include luxuries such as his private jet.

After she got an early release on her time in jail, AND an early release from a shortened rehab, another one of many scandals plaguing Lindsay Lohan may now be reaching its climax, as news comes in about Lindsay Lohan and the lawsuit against her from an LA boutique.

The ritzy Church Boutique outside Los Angeles had sued Lohan for failing to pay over $10,000 in bills, but now they are reportedly ready to settle, and move on.

Lohan is widely reported to have problems with Adderall addiction, and if she was wrongly diagnosed with ADHD that could help explain why the drug has led her to get into so much trouble.

Said one expert, misuse of the drug can cause "driving around until all hours of the morning, smoking heavily, tweeting and texting all night long." The doc adds, "They can become very impulsive." Also they "might then complain of insomnia and then take Ambien or other sleep aids to help fall asleep in a vicious cycle"

Lindsay Lohan: shortened rehab

LINDSAY LOHAN is using her time in rehab to sort out her finances - the actress has settled a lawsuit with a posh Los Angeles boutique over an unpaid bill.

The Mean Girls star was served with papers from Church Boutique outside a L.A. courthouse last month (Jul10) - minutes before she learned she'd be serving time behind bars for violating probation from a 2007 DUI arrest. In the suit, it was alleged she had failed to settle a $17, 060 (£11,374) bill for clothing, jewellery and accessories. But Lohan is cleaning up her act while in court-ordered rehab in more ways than one - she has signed a cheque for the full amount, plus extras, to pay for the goods, according to TMZ.com. The website reports the boutique has now agreed to drop the suit.

Lindsay Lohan's Adderall dependence -- the result of a medical misdiagnosis -- may have been the reason she went off the rails. As TMZ first reported, the docs at the UCLA rehab facility believe Lindsay was misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and then prescribed Adderall to treat the phantom affliction. Dr. Joe Haraszti, a prominent L.A. addiction specialist tells TMZ that people who take Adderall when they don't need it can experience similar effects as people who use cocaine or methamphetamine.

Lohan is widely reported to have problems with Adderall addiction, and if she was wrongly diagnosed with ADHD that could help explain why the drug has done more harm than good.

The troubled actress recently served jail time for troubles that arose from her alleged alcohol and substance abuse problems, as well as going to rehab, and now new reports suggest Adderall may be at the root of these problems because of the wrong diagnosis.

Adderall is a prescription medication for ADHD, a drug that is also used by many young people to aid them with studying and concentration, and misused very often with negative effects on mental health.

She is also set to collect a slew of appearance fees and paychecks for stories of her time inside. The first interview could come sooner than expected as Lindsay is set for an early release from rehab, possibly later this week. She left jail and entered rehab on August 2 and was supposed to stay for 90 days.

Lindsay Lohan Adderall Shocker?

Lindsay Lohan's Adderall addiction has been well documented at this point, but it may all be the result of a medical misdiagnosis and largely responsible for her increasingly erratic behavior over the past several months (or years). Doctors at UCLA Medical Center, where she is currently in rehab, believe Lindsay was misdiagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). At some point, Lohan was given Adderall to treat the affliction, which experts such as Dr. Joe Haraszti, an L.A. addiction specialist, say she doesn't have. According to Haraszti, people who take Adderall when they don't actually need it can experience severe side effects - similar to using cocaine or meth.

As much as we love celebrity drama from Hollywood, some of the best stories come from celebs who have stayed together for years and years, without even getting married!

As we see start after star spending millions on divorce lawyers, family counseling, child support payments and prenuptial agreements, many couples who never tied the knot at all have continued to have happy and strong ties with each other.

The most famous of all, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon, sadly did break up recently after over 20 years, but there are still many others who never bought that engagement ring but still stay together, like Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell.

So going through the slideshow, I did a little lexical inventory of what the baby mama/baby daddy get called and find it interesting that there's a difference, even though I can't figure out who gets to be called what. It's either "boyfriend/girlfriend" (for example, Halle Berry's, Matthew McConaughey's, Jamie Lynn Spears', Alba's, Nicole Richie's) or "longtime boyfriend/girlfriend" (Mark Wahlberg's). Only the Tim Robbins/Susan Sarandon industrial complex is referred to in terms of "partner."Brad and Angelina get to be called "a couple." Sacha Baron Cohen and Isla Fisher are spared the girlfriend/boyfriend tag, too, either because they're both actors or because, as their slide indicates, he proposed to her years ago. Any unmarried couples out there want to chime in with terminological ideas for the celebrity press?

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly set to get a whopping $1 million for her first interview after rehab, or at least that's the offer she's got coming from the British tabloid OK!

The troubled actress recently served a much shorter prison term than expected, for troubles that arose from her alleged alcohol and substance abuse problems, and now it looks like she will serve less than expected in the rehab as well.

Hopefully she has at least taken it seriously and gotten good counseling and therapy there. Lindsay really is a talented actress, unlike many other tabloid regulars, and even if she wasn't nobody wants to see someone out of control and having therir life go wrong. Well that's not true, all of America wants to see it, but we should learn not to be so gossipy.

For years hoarding was a secret shame, a destructive and addictive habit that plagued many Americans but was rarely talked about. Now though, with reality TV shows and websites shedding light on it, obsessive hoarding seems to be going mainstream?

People used to think that these citizens who suffer through insanely cluttered existences were just lazy or something, but now more knowledge is being spread, and hopefully it means more people seeking therapy, counseling and treatment for this psychological problem.

Said one expert, "The general public thinks these people are just slobs or lazy, but actually most of the time it's because . . . of not wanting to waste things, and so wanting to make the right decision about a thing that it becomes overwhelming and they keep it."

Obsessive Hoarding, Mainstream Now?

Extreme hoarding behavior (when people obsessively accumulate things) has often been thought of as a sub-set of symptoms for obsessive-compulsive disorder. However, there has been increased discussion about hoarding being a mental disorder all its own. The Boston Globe recently had the best mainstream press article on the topic that I have ever read, touching the roots of the problem, associated personality traits, and current treatment.

As seen in the mugshot linked below, a plumber named Harry Bruder has been arrested in Florida, for the crime of sending a friend request to his ex-wife on Facebook!

Harry Bruder's relationship with his wife took some bad turns, leading to divorce lawyers setting up a divorce, AND then the wife getting a restraining order. So since restraining orders nowadays also have to include social media, he was violating the order by violating her space on Facebook. He also even admitted to changing her Yahoo! email password.

After hearing of the counseling sessions he now has to attend, and the other punishment he faces, Bruder posted on his own Facebook "today my future x wife thinks she won but the real winner is me for i know the truth she is nothing but a lying emotionally disturbed woman who needs help to handle previous abusive relationship."

Harry Bruder, Plumber: Facebook Bandit!

When Carole Bruder filed a restraining order against her estranged husband Harry, she had every reason to believe that her soon-to-be ex-hubby would never dare contact her again. Apparently, though, Harry didn't think that Facebook friend requests fell under the legal definition of "contact." According to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office report obtained by the Smoking Gun, the 54-year-old plumber from Florida has admitted to contacting his wife twice on Facebook within the past month -- a clear violation, investigators argue, of a court-ordered domestic violence injunction that bars him from making contact.

A man in Florida was arrested and jailed this week, for adding his ex-wife on Facebook!

The man had been in a not so healthy relationship with his wife, apparently, leading to divorce lawyers setting up a contentious split that ultimately included the wife getting a restraining order.

Nowadays restraining orders naturally have to adjust to new technology, and can include contact through social media. Pretty ridiculous for him to make the request, really, but I bet he didn't think he'd wind up in jail for it! Next time you should respect her boundaries.

There is maybe - maybe - one person in my life I never really want to hear from again. OK, maybe two. If either of these people were to contact me I'd probably blog about it delete their voicemail/e-mail/Facebook friend request and move on. That's not the case for a Florida woman who filed charges against her ex-husband after he asked to be her "friend" on Facebook. Why the strong reaction? She had a restraining order against the man and, in her eyes, no contact including any and all social networking.

Many people were excited to hear that Angelina Jolie was reportedly playing Marilyn Monroe in an upcoming movie, but it turns out the fans have been bamboozled.

The LA Times has the official word that Jolie will not be playing the legendary Monroe in a new movie that is based on a biography of Marilyn's dog. She had reportedly beat out Scarlett Johannson and Christina Hendricks from Mad Men, who seems like a perfect choice if this ever does really happen.

Well, it seems sort of obvious when you put it that way. The LA Times' Ministry of Gossip has confirmed that Angelina Jolie is not attached to star as Marilyn Monroe in the adaptation of author Andrew O'Hagan's novel The Life And Opinions Of Maf The Dog, And Of His Friend Marilyn Monroe. The Daily Mail reported that O'Hagan (Be Near Me) had recently revealed that Jolie had beat out Scarlett Johansson and Christina Hendricks for the role. His novel, well-received in the UK and hitting US shelves in December, is told from the perspective of Marilyn's beloved pet Mafia Honey (Maf for short), a gift from Frank Sinatra in 1960.
