The word on the street is that Hollywood is beefing up on a new piece of BLING! Last week, Lindsay Lohan completed a 45-day rehab program and now voluntarily wears this gigantic alcohol monitoring "bracelet."



While I applaud Lindsay for embracing a road to recovery, the sad thing is that numerous celebs are being spotted sporting these anklets - almost to the point that they are trendy!! Similarly, is the crime du jour: getting a DUI. Just ask yourself, what celebrity does NOT have one? Yep, it's a pretty short list!

Now, I could go on a Lindsay rant, but I'll keep it short because apparently I'm in the minority on this...but,

In what movie has she had a leading role since "The Parent Trap"that was actually worth watching? (get honest with yourself: was "Mean Girls" really THAT good?) And are there really people out there who are Lindsay fans just because they enjoyed a pre-pubescent Disney performance? Come on people, what ever happened to the saying "You're only as good as your last film." Lindsay's career should be over by now - especially given that her recent behavior reports indicate a severe lack of professionalism. And it's not like she's the only hot celebrity (I give her a 4 out of 10). I mean, Hello Jessica Alba, Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst, Salma Hayek, etc.!

Ok, I'm done.

Unfortunately, I was getting off of an airplane from Pittsburgh last night, so I couldn't stand in line for Spidey 3. So disappointed. But I'm going to try and see it this weekend, from the previews it looks awesome!

So, of course, Bodog has a couple of odds on the possible next installment of the comic book series.

One asks whether Tobey Maguire will sign on to star in Spiderman 4, which he's still on the fence about. I mean, after 3 movies, someone who's done some serious acting roles would probably get a little tired of the comic book stuff. The odds are tight, with Yes at -110 and No at -130

The other one is about who may be the next director, if Sam Raimi doesn't sign on to direct Spiderman 4. Check out Bodog for the complete list, but here are a few of my faves I would like to see direct it:

Tim Burton (6/1): Dude, Batman and Spidey should totally get together for some DC/Marvel crossover action! (And I just outed myself as a nerd. Great.)
Bryan Singer (8/1): He pulled off X-Men, and could probably pull off Spiderman 4 with not much of a problem, though there'd probably be a shirt in the style of the movie.
James Cameron (9/1): Seriously? Like, the last good movie he did was "The Abyss" back in 1989. He'd write the script and it would suck. A lot.
Peter Jackson (9/1): Actually, he'd do really well. I mean, the guy who played Gollum would have to be the bad guy, whoever they picked. And the CGI would be top notch.
Steven Spielberg (11/1): Anyone see "War of the Worlds"? Hated it!
Quentin Tarantino (15/1): Now this would be awesome. Limbs would be cut off, bloody shootings all over the place, and lots of cursing. Just the way mom used to make it.

Although it's not been officially announced, rumors are WILDLY flying about the relationship of Marilyn Manson, 38, and his 19 year-old female friend, Evan Rachel Wood.

Wood is best known for starring in "American Gothic" (fitting, huh?) and in 1994 lost the role of the child vampire in "Interview with a Vampire" (even more fitting, right?) to Kirsten Dunst. So, it looks like this girl was right on track to cross paths with the deemed Reverend for the Church of Satan, Manson.
Supposedly, she is the reason for the recent divorce of Manson and burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese. Personally, I think Dita is way hotter than this little teenager, but then again, I don't wear a cloudy contact lens on my eye!

Maybe it's not all about looks when it comes to Manson finding a girl, though. Maybe it's about skillz (yes, with a "Z")! Sure, Dita's got some sexy moves, but Wood is also a trained dancer and has a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I'm thinkin' what Manson really wants is to learn some new ways to use that extra torso space from when he got his lower ribs removed to...well, you know!

Anyway, BetUS has some cool prop bets up on Manson. (Click on the "entertainment" link in the Sports Book). The bet with the best odds is that Manson and Wood will marry at +200. The odds of Wood getting pregnant by Manson are at +500, which I find to be funny because I put Manson's fertility rate right up there with Michael Jackson's. Anyway! The odds are also looking good for the likeliness of Manson to record a XXX video featuring Wood at +500. He has asked her to star in one of his films and for her to pose for some of his paintings, so this isn't too far-fetched! Of course there are the unlikely, but unavoidable, odds of Wood and Von Teese getting in a cat fight (at +1200) and that Wood and Von Teese will actually start dating each other! (at +1000). But seriously, my favorite prop bet on Marilyn Manson is at +1000, which is that he will be accused of corrupting a minor!!! Come on, people. What more does this guy have to do to get the official title of "child corruptor"?!

Well, I'm going to head on over to BetUS and put my money where my mouth is, while Manson puts his (*cough*) where his mouth is.
