Police, Counselors Visit Chez Lohan

While Lindsay Lohan remains holed up inside Samantha Ronson's Hollywood Hills home awaiting a court hearing Monday on an arrest warrant in her DUI case, she hasn't been alone.

Aside from a squadron of police cars keeping paparazzi at bay, a trio of women paid a visit Saturday evening for an apparent counseling session.

The threesome arrived around 7:15 and left about an hour later. When asked how their meeting with Lohan went, one of the women, who identified herself as a longtime friend, replied, "Good." Asked how Lohan was doing, the woman repeated, "Good."

Earlier, the arrival of LAPD cars outside the home led to speculation that officers might be acting on the arrest warrant issued Friday. But the police quickly quashed such talk. "They are there for paparazzi," said a department spokesman. "We are not the ones looking for Lindsay Lohan." (The warrant is in the jurisdiction of the Beverly Hills Police Department.)

Indeed, a crowd had gathered outside the home, comprised of paparazzi and other news media types, curiosity seekers and angry neighbors. Photographers who had been camped out since Friday night said they heard the sounds of an argument and of broken glass from a window breaking at Ronson's house.

Meanwhile, Lindsay's father, Michael Lohan, has chimed in on his daughter's latest legal woes.

Britney's Latest Smash Hit!

Tue., May. 13, 2008 4:52 PM PDT by Ken Baker and Claudia Rosenbaum

Britney Spears might be a crummy driver, but she's apparently a gracious host.

Spears was tooling around Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills in her convertible Mercedes SL when she rear-ended a red 1998 Ford Explorer at about 2 p.m. today.

Sources tell E! News that Spears' bodyguard jumped out to talk down the other motorist, and the "Toxic" songbird hopped into the passenger seat, just as she did last month when she was involved in a similar fender-bender on Los Angeles' 101 Freeway.

Edith Cortese, the woman in the Explorer, then followed Team Spears back to the singer's gated home and was invited inside. For the return trip, the singer's bodyguard took the wheel of the Mercedes, which seemed to fare the worst in the collision, suffering noticeable front-end damage.

A source says Cortese is being completely cooperative and only went to Spears' house to exchange information because "there were so many photographers around." Shocking.

Los Angeles police said they were aware of an incident involving Spears but did not have any immediate details; neither did the Beverly Hills cops.

Dad Jamie Spears had barred his daughter from driving since her January meltdown before finally relenting last month. Shortly thereafter, on April 12, the singer collided with another vehicle, but there were no injuries and no citations were issued.
