Lindsay Wants Restraining Order Against Paps

http://www.longislandpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Lindsay-Lohan.jpg
Lindsay Lohan believes she's being denied driving privileges because the paparazzi are constantly on her tail ... so she's asking her lawyer to get a restraining order prohibiting them from chasing her.

As we first reported, the L.A. County Probation Department -- along with the DMV -- have given Lindsay the green light to drive again. And Betty Ford was down with it as well.

But sources involved in the decision tell TMZ ... just when Lindsay was supposed the get the keys, Betty Ford decided it was too much of a safety risk to put Lindsay behind the wheel, because the paparazzi were creating an unsafe driving situation.

We're told Lindsay emailed her lawyer this weekend -- with pictures attached showing the paps following her -- asking the attorney to go to court for the restraining order.

Sources say no decision has been reached on whether a restraining order is a viable option. In the meantime, Lindsay is still stuck in park.

Christina Aguilera Meets New Guy's Mom

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2010/news/101213/christina-aguilera-3-240.jpgChristina Aguilera has been spending time with her new guy Matt Rutler – and his family.

Aguilera, who recently filed for divorce from husband Jordan Bratman, had a festive night out with Rutler at the Abbey in West Hollywood on Nov. 24. The couple were seen dancing, according to an onlooker, who added: "Christina was in a great mood and seemed very into Matt."

Aguilera, 29, spent Thanksgiving in Los Angeles with friends. Then after the holiday, the singer and Rutler, who worked as a set assistant on her film Burlesque, jetted to New York, while her son Max stayed with his dad for the holiday weekend.

"This is the first Thanksgiving she was without Max," says a source. "It was really hard for her and she was feeling sad, so she decided to go to the East Coast with Matt and a group of friends."

On Saturday, Aguilera, Rutler and a few pals went to Rhode Island for a spontaneous visit to Rutler's family home where they spent time with his mom, Kathleen.

"Since his family lives so close, they decided to drop in for a few hours," says the source.

But the source insists that meeting the family doesn't mean Aguilera and Rutler are getting more serious. "They’re still getting to know each other better," says the source.

The Kardashians 'Terminate' MasterCard Deal

http://consumerist.com/kardashiankard.jpgThe Kardashian family has officially pulled the plug on the new "Kardashian Kard" -- a prepaid debit card backed by MasterCard -- over allegations that it's riddled with hidden, possibly illegal fees.

The family fired off a "Notice of Termination" to the companies behind the Kard moments ago -- stating they're sick of the "negative spotlight" since the Attorney General of Connecticut opened an investigation to determine if the Kard violates consumer protection laws.

The A.G. was concerned over several fees associated with the Kard -- which reportedly costs $9.95 to own ... plus 12 monthly fees of $7.95. It also costs $1.50 every time the owner wants to add money to the Kard.

In the letter, obtained by TMZ, Kardashian lawyers write, "The Kardashians have worked extremely long and hard to create a positive public persona that appeals to everyone, particularly young adults."

The lawyers claim the investigation "threatens everything for which [The Kardashians] have worked" -- so the family has decided to "terminate the agreement ... effective immediately."

Nicole is fiercly protective of her children, and won't tolerate this. Nicole could testify also."

Nicole "is very busy planning her wedding to Joel, but she will drop everything to protect their children," the source said.

Khloe Kardashian: I Had Sex Too Young

http://media.sawfnews.com/images/Entertainment/spl-Khloe_Kardashian%203.jpgKhloe Kardashian was just 14 years old when she lost her virginity with an 18-year-old man whom she was "secretly dating", she revealed on The View Monday.

"Looking back I think that's not a normal thing," the married reality star, 26, admitted on the talk show, adding that she almost felt "conned" by her older sex partner. "Well, not conned, but persuaded, because he was older and I felt I wouldn't be accepted or cool or whatever," Khloe said.

How did she feel after the act? "I felt so disgusted with myself," she confessed. "I stopped talking to him and actually didn't have sex for three years after that because I knew I was young and I knew I wasn't ready."

Her biggest regret: "I should have listened to my parents," she said, telling her fans, "don't let anyone pressure you, it's not worth it and how I felt afterwards."

Wed to Lamar Odom since last September, Khloe wrote about the experience in Kardashian Konfidential, the tell-all co-authored with sisters Kim and Kourtney, out now.

Pink’s Preferred Name for a Baby Boy: Jameson

http://img2.timeinc.net/people/i/2010/cbb/blog/101206/pink-240.jpgPink, who is a little more than three months pregnant, says she and husband Carey Hart are halfway there when it comes to naming their baby.

If it’s a boy, says the singer, their first child will be called Jameson.

“My dad’s name is James, and my brother’s name is Jason,” Pink, 31, told Access Hollywood.

“[Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey’s middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson — we like whiskey. That’s a no brainer.”

There’s just one problem: Their doctor believes they’re expecting a girl. And, says Pink, finding the perfect name has been a struggle.

“We’re all over the place,” she says of the naming process. “I’m all about meaning, and Carey feels like he had a girl’s hair cut and a girl’s name, and he doesn’t want kids to have a weird name. I have to get him on the boat for originality, so I’m working on him.”

Even though she’s chosen a boy’s name that evokes a brand of whiskey, Pink says she’s not tempted to drink alcohol at all — even if the doctor okays it.

“You know what? I thought I’d be like that – I couldn’t even comprehend someone not wanting wine,” the “Raise Your Glass” singer says. “But honestly, I just don’t. I don’t want anything bad.”
