Lindsay "happy" in rehab

A friend of Lindsay Lohan says the star is settling nicely into rehab, a day after her father told E! Online that the starlet is hooked to booze and the prescription painkiller OxyContin. "She's happy where she is and is just taking time to herself to learn and be okay," said the friend. "I've been in touch with her and she likes it... She's so much in the public eye 24 hours a day that she's gotten so caught up. I think she surrounds herself with good people generally, but all the pressure that she's around has created this alternate universe in a way and it's hard for her to stay grounded... She just needs to be away from everyone and not get attacked by the paparazzi. She's doing really, really well," he added. "She probably should be there and it will be the best for her. I think she's ready for it." As for her next movie project, Poor Things, which was scheduled to begin filming today in LA - both producers and co-star Shirley MacLaine are willing to wait. "In the spirit of helping Lindsay Lohan and her rehabilitation, we have been asked by Lindsay to comply with her wishes to continue working on Poor Things," MacLaine and a producer said in a statement released today. "We are trying to arrange the shooting schedule to facilitate her working at the end of the shoot to coincide with the completion of her rehabilitation. We wish her love and the blending of mind, body and spirit."

Simon weighs in on Britney's trip to rehab

Idol judge Simon Cowell has pointed his finely-tuned criticism at Britney Spears and Robbie Williams, slamming them for checking into rehab when there are millions of people suffering real hardship in the world. Cowell recently visited an impoverished country and, after bearing witness to the horrific living conditions there, says Spears and Williams have no idea what serious problems are. "This whole thing is a total indulgence. Britney and Robbie need to get a grip," Cowell says. "I don't know what's going on in Britney's head but my attitude is I couldn't care less. She should go back and live with her mum for six months... I went to a deprived part of the world recently... It really opened my eyes. You can feel sorry for yourself over the smallest things, but then you look at the world and you think, 'I've got nothing to complain about.' So when I hear about the Robbies and the Britneys going into rehab, I think, 'I'll tell you what rehab is. Go to where I just went, where people are really suffering and then you'll see just how good your life is.' I mean Britney is not working in a coal mine, is she? You are whisked to the studio in a very large limo, you are flown around in private jets, everyone will agree with you and physically making an album is a doddle."

Britney "doing great" in rehab

Fellow Promises patient Daniel Baldwin describes Britney Spears as "a little fearful" after meeting the popstar in Malibu. "I told her if she needed anything or if she wanted me to bring anything to her where she's at, I'd be happy to come see her," Baldwin said at an Oscar party this weekend. "She's doing great, she looks great. She seemed like she was a little fearful. I mean, she's a young girl - I have kids older than her. I think that she knows that she needs some help, and God bless her. All we can do is pray. That is what I want people to do. Pray for her... One thing I mentioned to her is if you took a look at how much effort you put into going out - at least for me - going out and using and doing the things we do, compared to how much effort you need to do to stay sober, it's infinitesimal on a comparison basis." Boy I bet she's glad she's getting advice from this guy...
