Secret behind Lindsay Lohan’s skinny looks uncovered

Lindsay Lohan’s recent skinny appearances have disturbed fans and paparazzi alike, and it has now emerged that the actress’ weight loss is because of her bad habits, late-night lifestyle, lack of sleep and problems with girlfriend DJ Samantha Ronson. Sources close to the star say that hard-partying Lindsay is surviving off Red Bull, coffee and cigarettes; is hardly sleeping; and making strange phone-calls at odd hours of the night. All that combined with the stress of her rocky relationship with Ronson is clearly taking its toll in a dangerous way. "Now Sam and Lindsay are being marketed as the DJ/hosting couple and are earning good money off it, but that means Lindsay is going out more and more and hanging around a bad crowd," Fox News quoted an insider as saying. The source added: "It doesn’t take brain surgery to figure out how’s she lost weight so fast …" According to Fred DeVito, Nutrition/Fitness Expert and Founder of Exhale Spa’s Core Fusion: "Looking at photos of Lindsay just over last month, there is obviously not only an obvious loss of weight but also a loss of muscle mass. A lack of muscle could lead to rapid weight gains in the long-term and a vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting.” However, in an interview with Us magazine, the actress said that there were no problems in her romance with Ronson, and the weight loss was due to her hectic life and totally unintentional. However, the source said: "Lindsay is in a really bad place and refuses to believe anything is wrong.”The insider has also revealed that one of the reasons she is sticking with Sam is because the DJ has in the past reportedly threatened to write a tell-all book if they break-up.

Michael Jackson suffering from flesh-eating disorder

Pop star Michael Jackson is suffering from MRSA skin disease, which could eat his flesh. According to thesun.co.uk, Jackson has been receiving antibiotics through drip and the disease has apparently spread throughout his body. He might have contracted the infection after plastic surgery on his nose. Plastic surgeon Anthony Youn, who has seen photos of Jackson, said: "It is possible that Jackson has a staph infection or MRSA. This is called a 'super-infection' because it is resistant to conventional antibiotics. It does look like his skin is red and inflamed and has become infected. "Staph infection or MRSA is extremely worrying because it is an aggressive infection that is resistant to most conventional antibiotics. In some worse cases, surgeons will have to remove the infected tissue if it dies - leaving the patient needing major reconstructive surgery. It is particularly worrying if it is on the face." Jackson was seen visiting the clinic twice in a week. "The disease is resistant to conventional antibiotics, so he has been visiting a clinic to get antibiotics via an IV drip. The infection has spread throughout his face and body and is being aggressively treated by doctors. There's a chance it could turn into a flesh-eating disorder where it begins to kill off his skin so he's being very carefully monitored," a source said.

M.I.A was due to give birth to a baby the same day. However, there is still no news if she has given birth yet. Last week, M.I.A was certain the baby would arrive.

George Clooney wooing Benazir Bhutto's niece

Hollywood star George Clooney is said to be dating slain Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto's niece Fatima Bhutto. But the film star says those days could be coming to an end if the 26-year-old poet-journalist wants to take the relationship to the next level and spend some serious time with him in the US, The Nation reported on Wednesday quoting The National Enquirer. "He's still out there with his usual assortment of Hollywood eye-candy hanging from his arm. But George insists those days could be coming to an end if Fatima wants to take their relationship to the next level and spend some serious time with him in the US," a source said. "Tricky long distance, Pakistan-to-US dating logistics aside, we think the two would make a nice couple. I mean, just look at her CV. She's a far cry from Clooney's last girlfriend, the Fear Factor contestant, Sara Larson. "Fatima Bhutto did her graduation in Middle Eastern studies from Barnard and a masters in South Asian Studies from University of London. So she's educated," added the source. According to the newspaper, Clooney, 47, is also said to be characteristically serious about her, especially considering how smart and independent she is. Although Clooney has been able to keep the relationship under wraps, in private he is gushing to pals about the raven-haired Fatima, say insiders. Clooney and Fatima met at an international conference last year and the film star quickly fell for her, revealed the source. "Fatima was educated at Columbia University, and knew of his heartthrob reputation, but she didn't take his advances seriously because she thought their age difference - not to mention where they each lived - would make a serious relationship impractical. But Clooney has courted her by phone and e-mail and arranged to meet her abroad when their schedules allowed it."
