Lindsay Lohan: Dating Random Russian Real Estate Agent?

The 2016 Academy Awards were held in Hollywood last night, and in keeping with one of the the film industry’s proudest traditions, Lindsay Lohan was not invited.

Lindsay still hopes to win an Oscar someday (ed. note: LOLOLOLOLOL), but in the meantime, she’s apparently found contentment with a 22-year-old Russian real estate agent named Igor Tarabasov.

According to Radar Online, Linds met Igor (who we’re assuming is a recent winner of the prestigious World’s Most Russian Name prize) back in October, and the the couple has been “inseparable” ever since.

“Lindsay has obviously had some issues in the past, and probably been attracted to the wrong sort of guys, but this is different,” says one insider.

“He’s a bit younger than she is, but he’s a very smart businessman. He’s much more mature than his age suggests, and he’s a good influence.”

Given Lindsay’s proclivity for banging famous guys, it might seem odd that she would give a Russian real estate agent the time of day, much less date him. 

Fortunately, the source has an explanation for that:

“He is a perfect boyfriend and – as he is quite wealthy – pays for quite a lot of stuff like meals out and trips away. He has been traveling the world with her, and posting loads of pictures of their trips online.”

Sounds like Lindsay’s ideal arrangement.

Of course, back in January, Lohan claimed to be a victim of domestic violence, then quickly deleted the allegation from her Instagram page.

If what the source says is true, she would have been dating Igor at the time.

Not cool, comrade.

Sam Smith Thought He Was the First Gay Man to Win an Oscar

Unlike Stacey Dash, Sam Smith did not randomly wander on to the stage at the 2016 Oscars and make a complete fool out of himself for no comprehensible reason.

But that doesn’t mean the talented singer wasn’t at the center of his own controversy on Sunday night.

Upon accepting the trophy for Best Original Song, Smith accepted the award by saying the following to a national audience:

“I read an article a few months ago by Sir Ian McKellen, and he said that no openly gay man had ever won an Oscar. If this is the case – even if it isn’t the case – I want to dedicate this to the LGBT community all around the world.”

Pretty harmless, right?

Smith even made a point of recognizing that he might not have his facts correct, but the overall dedication – the crux of his message – remained.

But this wasn’t good enough for Dustin Lance Black or a number of people on the Internet.

See… McKellen was actually referring to the acting categories only when making this statement to The Guardian in January.

Melissa Etheridge, an open lesbian, actually won the same award as Smith in 2007; while Elton John, Stephen Sondheim and Scott Rudin are among other past winners who were also openly gay at the time they were victorious.

So was Black when he won Best Original Screenplay for Milk in 2009.

And he was not about to let Smith forget it!

“Hey @SamSmithWorld, if you have no idea who I am, it may be time to stop texting my fiancé,” Black Tweeted last night, referring to Olympic diver Tom Daley.

The insecure Black then linked to a video of his acceptance speech from the 81st Annual Academy Awards and added:

“Here’s a start.”

Later informed about his snafu, Smith told reporters backstage that he was a “little drunk” and added “Sh-t. F-ck that” in regard to his mistake.

We think he should be forgiven.

Especially because it prompted this Tweet from Clay Aiken:

“Congrats to Sam Smith for being the first openly gay man to inaccurately claim he is the first openly gay man to win at the #Oscars.”

Jenelle Evans: Arrest Video to Land Her Behind Bars?

Back in August, Jenelle Evans was arrested after allegedly assaulting Nathan Griffith’s new girlfriend, Jessica Henry.

Obviously, getting into trouble with the law is nothing new in Jenelle’s world, but this time, the Teen Mom trainwreck may find herself in serious trouble, as a video of her arrest that surfaced this week could convince a jury that she deserves to be behind bars.

According to Radar Online, the footage shows Jenelle being taken into custody after she reportedly threw a glass Mason jar at Henry’s head.

While the violent incident itself wasn’t captured on camera, the aftermath captured by the arresting officers’ dash cam could be enough to put Jenelle away.

Not only is Evans shown being belligerent with officers, she provides a version of events that simply doesn’t add up.

According to the police report:

“[Jenelle] stated that she walked outside and the victim got out of the truck. The arrestee claimed that she was in fear, so she threw water at the victim and the jar slipped from her hand. The arrestee stated that the victim caught the jar and threw it back at the arrestee, striking her back and then broke.”

One of the officers observed that Jenelle’s version of the story didn’t jibe with the physical evidence of the scene, and she did not appear to have been defending herself, as she claimed:

“This would have made the broken glass somewhere farther in the driveway,” wrote the officer. “I looked and did not observe any redness or any other injury to the arrestee’s back.”

Jenelle and Nathan’s breakup has been a tempestuous one, and the law has been involved on more than one occasion.

Griffith was arrested for stealing Jenelle’s car last month after claiming that he hoped to acquire items for the couple’s son, Kaiser, that she was storing in the trunk.

Blake Shelton Wore Jeans To Vanity Fair"s Oscar Party, Because WTF

Slow claps for the guy in denim.

Gwen Stefani never phones it in sartorially, but even she can’t make up for the fact that her boyfriend, Blake Shelton wore jeans to February 28th’s Vanity Fair Oscar party.

This is an after party that invited guests covet, and even the photographers are dressed in formal wear, a dress code only adhered to at an equally superb occasion, the Cannes Film Festival.

This is a classy event, Shelton.  We’re glad you went with dark wash denim instead of, say, pressed khakis, but for crying out loud, isn’t there a suit somewhere in your closet?  

If Shelton dressed like a true cowboy (Stetson hat at the ready, all day every day), then we might have accepted his looks as “authentic country cowboy.”

Last night’s look was simply lazy and/or difficult, as if Shelton was rebelling against (what we assume is) the event’s dress code.

“Hey ya’ll.  I’m not gonna listen to your rules on how to dress on Oscar night,” Shelton’s jeans screamed from the red carpet.

“Whatever, I’m wearing dungarees ’cause I’m country.”

No, Shelton.  Oscar night is not about conforming, nor is it about making a statement by under-dressing.  It’s about respecting the event and what it represents. 

Oscar night is special.  People work very hard to put the entire production together, so the least you could do is put on a suit so as not to embarrass your lady friend.

Just do better next time.
