Penélope Cruz Debuts Her Baby Bump In London

Last month Penélope Cruz announced her pregnancy, a week later her hubby Javier Bardem confirmed the news. Today we get our first look at Penélope proudly showing off her burgeoning Baby Bump as she made her way thru London’s Heathrow Airport this week: Five months pregnant, and still very much on the go. Penélope Cruz [...]

TMZ is reporting that Michael Lohan, estranged father of Lindsay Lohan (who is currently undergoing rehabilitation treatment at the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, CA), was turned away from the rehab center when he tried to visit her there last week:

We’re told Michael headed for the desert last Thursday … to Rancho Mirage, home of the Betty Ford Center and temporary digs of Lindsay Lohan. Michael was turned away by security. He was told visiting hours were over. Michael tells us he asked if was on a “no contact” list and they told him no … Michael says he’s been on the horn with people at Betty Ford, asking them to please involve him in family therapy with Lindsay.

Despite L. Lo‘s apparent unwillingness to meet with her father, she is reportedly welcoming with open arms her mother Dina Lohan and her younger siblings for a visit this week. As you can imagine, Daddy Lohan is furious at being left out … so much so that he is counting on God Himself to punish Dina for her actions:

From X17: Dina Lohan will be taking her three children, Michael Jr., daughter Ali and young son Dakota, to visit daughter Lindsay at the Betty Ford Center during the facility’s upcoming family week … but Lindsay’s mom says her ex, Michael, won’t be a part of that trip. Lindsay’s mom spoke with Barbara Walters by phone over the weekend, and details of their conversation were revealed this morning on The View. Walters say Dina wanted to make it clear that she is a “reliable and good mother” despite the public’s perception. Lindsay’s mom refrained from talking about her ex Michael Lohan, who reportedly is not “on the list” of visitors at the Betty Ford Clinic. Michael Lohan tells X17online exclusively: “To say something like that just shows how evil Dina is, how controlling she is, how self-centered she is and how she does not care about Lindsay’s therapy or solving her internal struggle which caused this. I think it’s clear to see that this is proof of how Dina has destroyed our family, driven a wedge between us and has polluted our childrens’ minds. I pray for her because God will get even with her.” Lindsay will be appearing before Judge Elden Fox for a probation hearing on October 22.

Personally, I think Lindsay would benefit if NEITHER of her toxic parents were allowed to visit her in rehab. I get that addicts can benefit from family therapy but if you consider the kind of family that Lindsay has to deal with … well … it’s no wonder the girl drinks. When you’ve got one parent praying to God for punishment of the other … you know you got probs. OY!

Usher Comes Back For His Crown: A VMA Cheat Sheet

Director Anthony Mandler wanted to let R&B superstar take viewers 'on a journey, not a ride.'
By Jayson Rodriguez

Usher in "OMG"

For a video as forward-thinking as Usher's "OMG" -- with its laser beams and light flashes -- director Anthony Mandler actually looked back for inspiration.

"The original idea was kind of Max Headroom," Mandler told MTV News, citing the animated science-fiction character from '80s British TV. "That's where it came from — the TV flickering on and there's this character. We just wanted to bring it up to date."

"Max Headroom was always in his room," he continued, "this unidentifiable room, '80s shapes. I used that for inspiration."

The formula worked: "OMG" is among the Best Male Video nominees for the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. The clip is up against Drake's "Find Your Love," Jason Derülo's "In My Head," Eminem's "Not Afraid" and B.o.B's "Airplanes." Mandler is a multiple nominee, having also helmed Drake's video.

"OMG" is the first time Usher and Mandler — who has worked with Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige and Rihanna — collaborated on a project.

Usher said he knew the video would be a challenge and wanted to make sure the director was up to the task.

"When I first shot the song to him, I was like, 'Are you sure you're gonna be able to catch this one?' And he said, 'I got it,' " Usher explained.

"We wanted to bring Will.I.Am (the song's producer) into my world," he continued. "Obviously, the international sound and look and feel has already been set, but we wanted to do something theatrical, fun and energetic to show us working off of each other and playing off of each other as artists, but the cinematography would be artistic and incredible."

Mandler described the visuals as "Hitchcock-ian." Though the style of the shot was important to the director, he had a simpler goal in mind: to capture Usher in his element. He said the key to the clip was simply letting Usher's talent take over.

"The concept was to create a world where we put Usher in a space where he does what I think he does better than anyone else in the world, which is perform at a level and magnitude of a superstar and take us, the viewer, whether audible or visually, on a journey, not a ride," the director said. "And, in that, I wanted to create an unpredictability, so one set leads to another and another, and you never know what's gonna happen. Along the way, Usher becomes our guide. We're so focused on him, we don't notice the change. The thing is unfolding little by little, and you can't quite see far enough ahead to know what's gonna come next."

The 27th annual MTV Video Music Awards will be broadcast live from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles on September 12. The party starts with MTV News' VMA Pre-Show at 8 p.m., followed by the main event at 9 p.m. ET. Fans can go to VMA.MTV.com (or text VMA to 97979 if they are Verizon subscribers) to vote for Best New Artist from now through September 12.
