Lindsay Lohan was invited by eccentric billionaire Richard Lugner 77 to attend the Vienna Opera Ball as his guest which is considered to be quite an honour.

In the past he has taken Pamela Anderson, Dita Von Teese, Carmen Electra and last year Nicolette Sheridan attended.  He pays these women $150,000 to attend with him!!

According to PageSix Lindsay missed her flight because she was too busy shopping. Austrian papers are reporting that Lindsay held up a flight (not with gun…with her tardiness) from Los Angeles to London en route to Vienna to shop and couldn’t pay the $22k airline fee for the delay (let this be a warning to all travelers to make sure you set your alarm clocks…who knew about such a fee?).  Lugner told the Austrian press:

“She wanted to pay it, but her card’s credit limit was not high enough”

Apparently she had made some demands before the ball including no alcohol be left in her sight and asking that the date of the event be switched.  Sure Lindsay. They’ve only held the ball on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday since 1936, but we’ll change it for you so you can shop!

If Mr. Lugner is reading I am more than happy to accompany you to next year’s Ball. Kindly have your people fill out the contact form in the top right hand corner of my site, and we can make the arrangements.  Don’t worry baby, I won’t let you down. I’m not a big shopper at all so there will be no delay on my end.  Thanks!

Update:  According to GossipCop the part about the $22k bill is WRONGO!! This was a rumour started by some other ill-informed celebrity blogger (not me he he he).  I got my story from PageSix.  Aren’t they always right?  :)

As far as the Vienna Ball part, I still don’t know.  But it made for an interesting story, no?

Gwen Stefani presented her collection at New York’s fashion week with her Fall 2010 L.A.M.B. line and a little help from her adorable son Zuma Nesta.

I’ve included pictures of some of the outfits she featured because I really like the majority of them.  Except for the granny panties/corset number that is being rocked on the outside of the model’s pants.  I’m no fashion expert, but something tells me that isn’t going to be a new trend any time soon.  I could be very wrong.  But I really hope not.

It is Friday and I present to you Jason Statham in all his manly glory.  If you notice he has the same facial expressions in most of the pictures taken of him by the paparazzi.  Gee.  I wonder what he’s thinking?  ’Happy to see you’?  He he he. Ever wonder what Jason would do if you rubbed his bald head for good luck?  A girl (or guy) can only dream.

We’ve all been patiently waiting for Jason’s assets to be up on the silver screen and it looks like we will be seeing quite a bit of him in the coming months.  According to imdb he has about 9 film projects in the works.

Can you handle it?

TMZ is reporting that President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized in New York with chest pains.  His office released the following statement:

“Today President Bill Clinton was admitted to the Columbia of NY Presbyterian hospital after feeling discomfort in his chest.

Following a visit to his cardiologist, he underwent a procedure to place 2 stents in one of his coronary arteries.

President Clinton is in good spirits and will continue to focus on the work of his Foundation and Haiti’s relief and long-term recovery efforts.”

“In 2004, President Clinton underwent a successful quadruple bypass operation to free four blocked arteries.

Hillary is on her way from Washington to be with him.

I know you’ve probably already heard of this today.  I stepped out only to come back and hear that Fashion designer Alexander McQueen, 40, was found dead in his London flat in the exclusive Green Park area.  A source:

“An ambulance was called at 10am today. Alexander was found hanging inside.”

It is said he was depressed over the death of his mother a week ago, and the day after her death wrote on Twitter:

“i’m letting my followers know the my mother passed away yesterday if it she had not me nor would you RIP mumx”

A minute later he added: “but life must go on!”

On Sunday he wrote:

“sunday evening been a f****** awful week but my friends have been great but now i have to some how pull myself together …”

Model Kate Moss was a bridesmaid at his marriage to documentary maker George Forsyth in 2000 (they split a few years later).  A spokeswoman for Kate said she is:

“shocked and devastated at the tragic loss of her dear friend Lee McQueen”

His website has the following message:

On behalf of Lee McQueen’s family, Alexander McQueen today announces the tragic news that Lee McQueen, the founder and designer of the Alexander McQueen brand has been found dead at his home. At this stage it is inappropriate to comment on this tragic news beyond saying that we are devastated and are sharing a sense of shock and grief with Lee’s family.

Lee’s family has asked for privacy in order to come to terms with this terrible news and we hope the media will respect this.

That main picture was from February 2 of this year.  Our sincere condolences to family and friends at this very sad time.
