Last weekend we learned that the home of Lindsay Lohan was burglarized while she was out of town and believes that mebbe it was an inside job. Police have released surveillance footage of the culprits and are asking YOU for your help in apprehending them. Do any of these people look familiar to you?

Police are looking for three suspects in the burglary of Lindsay Lohan’s home. The Los Angeles Police Department has released surveillance camera footage of the Sunday break-in at the “Mean Girls” star’s house. The footage shows three people, whose faces are covered with scarves, walking through a gate at Lohan’s Hollywood Hills home and entering a courtyard at around 1:10 a.m. LAPD detectives believe the suspects – one male and two females, all 18 to 25 years old – entered the house through an unlocked door, then ransacked it and took property. Lohan’s spokeswoman, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, said the break-in happened Sunday while the actress and her younger sister were away. Sloane-Zelnik said many of Lohan’s “personal belongings were taken without remorse.” Lohan posted on Twitter she didn’t think it was a robbery because “things that a certain old friend knew meant a lot to me” were taken.

Dastardly!! TMZ believes that the crooks who broke into L. Lo‘s place may be the same crooks who broke into Audrina Patridge‘s home back in February. Could there be a new clan of cat burglars roaming the streets of Hollywood terrorizing celebs? I fear if they are not apprehended soon they might strike again … any guesses on who might get robbed next?

After seeing photos of Zac Efron half-dressed on the high seas and half-dressed on dry land, both while in Vancouver, BC filming his new movie Charlie St. Cloud, today we get to see photos of the lad fully dressed with his young co-star Charlie Tahan who plays the younger St. Cloud brother in the film … behold:

Yes, yes … I know … he’s fully dressed AND wearing a long sleeve shirt … BUT his thermal shirt is tight enough to show off the muscles that he’s been blatantly flashing lately so … it ain’t all bad. It would appear that the actors are getting in a bit of male bonding in between takes, which should help them make their brotherly relationship more believable on screen. It stands to reason that Zac will be getting back to his half-dressed ways in no time … we hope.

Last week we saw a couple photos of Miss Piggy hangin’ with fashion designer Marc Jacobs at his NYC design studio in SoHo where she was getting a look at some of his new designs for the new season. Piggy was lookin’ for an outfit to wear to last weekend’s Glamorama event in Chicago, IL. I understand that Miss Thang made a huge splash at the event and even made a new friend … here’s a pic of Miss Piggy with her newest BFF Ne-Yo on the red carpet at Macy’s Glamorama event last weekend:

I hear, and I swear I’m not making this up, that Miss Piggy performed at the Glamorama event dressed as Lady Gaga. I understand she did a full performance of Poker Face in full Gaga costume … tho, I hope she changed the lyrics to Pork-er Face cuz that would’ve been more apropos, yes? In any event, it looks like Miss Piggy is really making the rounds these days … I wonder where and with whom she’ll show up next.

In recent weeks we’ve seen photos of Kevin Federline, ex-husband of Britney Spears and father of her two children, expanding to maximum density right before our eyes … but today we get to see him doing something very sweet for his children which proves, I suppose, that K-Fed does more than just eat these days. Here are pics of The Federline, his ladyfriend Victoria Prince and his sons Sean Preston and Jayden James (with nanny in tow) enjoying a day at the Central Park Zoo here in NYC this week:

You know the kids had a great time at the zoo so I cannot fault their father wanting to share the day with them. I just think it would be nice if he actually worked a profession (other than rap music, mind you) in order to support his children rather than live on the money he siphons from his very rich ex-wife. I just hope, in the long run, that Federline turns out to be a good role model for his sons. I honestly don’t believe he is much of a role model to his other children (with Shar Jackson) but one hopes that he will be a better one for his young sons. Going on trips to the zoo is fun and all but one hopes the kids get more than that in the long run.

Eliza Dushku is interviewed in the new issue of TV Guide magazine wherein she talks about the upcoming second season of Dollhouse which she describes as “racier” and “deeper”. The magazine also gives us our first look at Eliza (in character as Echo) with season premiere guest star Jamie Bamber (ex-Battlestar Galactica, who we learned last month would be guesting on the show). Here is that promo pic and Eliza‘s interview:

It isn’t playtime in The Dollhouse anymore. Stars Eliza Dushku and Tamoh Penikett are promising that, after some growing pains in the freshman season, Dollhouse is darker, racier and rougher than ever for Season 2. “I just finished episode 3 and I’m proud of the show already,” Dushku told TVGuideMagazine.com. “It’s different, it’s racier and it’s deeper. We found that rhythm and now we’re just blowing it out of the water. Everyone is really in their skin and comfortable playing around with the light and the dark,” she explained, noting series creator Joss Whedon nailed the show’s stride in its final first-season episode. “The cast all settled in to their roles, and then in the 13th episode things shot into the future and everyone got an idea where they might go – the dark places – and everyone came back with a confidence.” That confidence meant a willingness to push the boundaries, action-wise: “I learned how to beat up boys using a private jet as a weapon,” she chuckles. “I beat these guys with a jet. I got married in one of the first episodes. I had beaucoup bruises and bumps and fights already.” As far as the racier side, Dushku makes it sounds motherly for a moment before her big reveal. “I was shooting with babies this week, which was interesting and different, and there was an actual what-people-do-with-babies thing going on.” She pulled at her shirt collar to flash a little skin and laughed. “There was a lot going on!” There’s also a possible romance brewing. “Tahmoh’s in The Dollhouse now and there’s a lot of chemistry, a lot of things building with Echo and Agent Ballard, so that’s a little tease,” she said, adding “I’m teased, too. I don’t know what’s going to happen. Joss will come in and start snickering and whistling.” “I just read the fourth episode a few days ago and it’s awesome,” agreed Penikett. “It’s dark. I’m going to tell you: this is really one of the darker things that Joss Whedon has done. At the same time because there’s a brilliant writing staff they manage to have some light moments.” Penikett’s also looking forward to a reunion of sorts with his Battlestar Galactica co-stars on Dollhouse. “We’ve got Jamie Bamber in the first episode and then we have Michael Hogan in the second episode,” he said. “I’d definitely like to take credit for that but it wasn’t like that. Joss Whedon is a huge fan of Battlestar and ultimately it was about him wanting to bring in some very talented actors who were great for the parts. It’s awesome because for both of them it’s very much a departure from the characters that they play on Battlestar.”

A romance betwixt Echo and Agent Ballard, you say? Oh man … I kinda love that. As much as I loved the little thing that went on between Ballard and November (Miracle Laurie), I wouldn’t mind seeing him dabble in Echo‘s waters. I can’t even begin to express how excited I am that both Jamie Bamber and Michael Hogan from Battlestar Galactica will be guesting on the show. While I’m most anxious for Buffyverse alums Alexis Denisof and Summer Glau to join the cast, having some of the Battlestar folks on the show will amp up the geek factor and make an already awesome show even awesomer. Bring it on! I cannot wait!!

UPDATE: I was *just* sent a press release from FOX about Dollhouse Season 2 that reveals which characters Alexis Denisof, Summer Glau and other guest stars will portray on the show. Because this may be a bit spoilery, I’ll keep that info behind the cut. Good news, tho, the press release promises the return of Dr. Claire Saunders/Whiskey!!!!! Read on if you want to find out …

Kylie Minogue is featured in the new issue of BlackBook magazine this month wherein she talks, of course, about her upcoming first-ever North American tour set to kick off in Oakland, CA next month. Kylie‘s accompanying 2-photo spread showcases her wonderfully chic style, including her penchant for wearing half-masks (like the one she sometime wears in concert). Behold, the Phantom of the Popera:

Kylie Minogue has nothing to prove. She’s the sweetheart of just about every nation in the world. Countless European tabloid covers have devoted serious headline space to her romance with Italian pin-up Andrés Velencoso, 10 years her junior. The mini-divinity has not one, but five fragrances. She was even honored with the prestigious Order of the British Empire and the French Order of Arts and Letters. So why, exactly, has Minogue’s career not taken off Stateside? Maybe it’s because she hasn’t toured in North America since first chugging along to “The Loco- Motion” in 1987. Even Neighbours, the TV soap opera that gave birth to her illustrious career, was broadcast almost exclusively for Australian and European audiences. But all that’s about to change as the gamine, 41-year-old entertainer from Down Under takes her spectacular live show this side of the pond for the first time ever. Through each endeavor and incarnation—from Charlene, the garage mechanic on Neighbours, to the early-’90s shiny bubblegum-pop princess and the moody soul-searcher alongside Nick Cave, to the breast cancer survivor and activist—Kylie stays Kylie. Both sexy and likeable, she is the diva-next-door.

Wee!! Love, love, love her … and this interview, while not too terribly enlightening, is very cute. I am so happy that she is getting press here in the US … first it was Instinct magazine and now BlackBook. I actually found out about this BlackBook interview by way of Kylie‘s official Twitter account (she has recently joined Twitter and has been posting pretty regularly). After the jump, check out Kylie‘s BB interview and check out a couple of her personal photos that she posted to her Twitter profile …

My, my … but aren’t those wee Beckham boys growing up fast? Yesterday we saw photos of the Beckham Bunch celebrating middle son Romeo Beckham‘s 7th birthday bit early (his actual bday is September 1) and today we get to see just how “grown up” they all are. Here are a couple photos of Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz hangin’ out with 3 lovely young ladies in SoCal yesterday afternoon:

One presumes the youngsters were chaperoned but, then again, mebbe not. Clearly, the young men have grown beyond the stage of fearing girl cooties cuz they all look like they are having a fun time together … and there’s one girl for each of the boys. Seriously, this is way too cute … but shouldn’t be too surprising. Is there anyone out there who didn’t believe that the sons of Beckham would grow up to be lady killer Casanovas? To be honest, tho, I just didn’t expect them to get started on their fated path so soon … shows what I know ;)

In a new interview with the UK newspaper The Sun, Tori Amos talks about her personal opinions on Lady Gaga and he staying power in the music industry. Never one to shy away from actively voicing her opinions, Tori makes it clear that she believes Gaga to be a flash in the pan who will be long forgotten in the years to come. HMMM:

TORI AMOS fears LADY GAGA has a limited shelf life, hinting fans will soon tire of the quirky New Yorker’s novelty pop act. The Cornflake Girl songstress – who’s been selling out venues since 1991 – struggles to visualise GaGa playing on the same bill as veteran rocker NEIL YOUNG two decades from now. However, she admits the Poker Face singer’s unique brand of “entertaining” performance art is a welcome antidote to the global economic crisis. She told The Sun: “She’s what I call a meteor – singers who entertain people for a while. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that. But then there are people like Neil Young who show up at Glastonbury 40 years into their career. And that’s a very different kind of artist. Neil Young doesn’t have to get his bum out on stage! The question is, will Lady GaGa be playing alongside Neil Young at Glastonbury in 20 years time? She wants to entertain people. Right now, half the world is depressed and they need to be entertained. So her timing’s perfect” … As a result of her own traumatic beginnings, Amos can empathise with the likes of BRITNEY SPEARS, whose rapid rise to prominence as a teen triggered a series of very public meltdowns. “For me, the best thing that happened is that I didn’t have success like my father wanted me to when I was 14-years-old and I was playing clubs,” she said. Thank God it didn’t happen for me at that time. I probably wouldn’t be talking to you if it had. I think it’s really tough on teenagers when they have that kind of success. But you have to acknowledge Britney’s discipline right now – being a mum and being out on the road. When you do that year-in, year-out since you were a teenager, it can become overwhelming.” Outspoken Amos has also sent out a warning shot to young female upstarts eyeing a career in the music industry. The 46-year-old singer claims record companies are rife with power-hungry money-makers who exploit new stars for their own greedy means. She said: “A lot of times you have a producer who will say, ‘You’re lucky to be having this opportunity.’ Sure, there are a lot of other talented people out there, but you have to fight for your freedom. There’s a side to this industry that nurtures divas who can’t write. It’s a big business. I produce the records. I don’t hand over control to some really expensive producer who then talks to the record company and then tries to bend me to their will – for commercial purposes. But there are a lot of producers/co-writers who the only way they can make a living is if the divas are not producing themselves and not writing their songs.”

LOL! I love how Tori thinks that Gaga is only popular right now because of tough economic times. As I’ve said before, I’m not particularly entertained by anything that Gaga does (save for her catchy first single Just Dance) but I can appreciate that there are others that are entertained by her. Just like many people don’t like some of the artist that I enjoy, there is room enough for everyone to like what they like. BUT, I do agree with Tori that acts like Gaga or Katy Perry will not stand the test of time. Even if you don’t agree with her, you really cannot fault Tori for being honest about her opinions. She has been an incredible artist for many, many years and she shows no signs of slowing down. I think an artist like Tori who has stood and will continue to stand the test of time has the pedigree to made judgments like this. She is 100% right that young artists should hang on to their integrity and fight for the freedom to make the art that they are most proud of … flash in the pans may make money in the short term but longevity comes from carefully managing your career. It seems to me that young artists looking for someone to emulate would be better served if they followed Tori Amos‘s example rather than that of the here today/gone tomorrow pop star du jour.

Production continues on the third season of Gossip Girl which begins airing next month … earlier this month we saw photos of new castmember Hilary Duff filming her first scenes for the show and today we get to see another photo of her and her female GG cohorts making their way to the Manhattan set yesterday afternoon:

Oh yeah, Penn Badgley is featured in these pics as well but I’m sure he don’t mind gettin’ lumped in with the ladies. I’m really looking forward to the return of this show especially to see if Hil D. will enhance the show or not. Not for nothing but I haven’t actually seen Hilary Duff in anything before so I have nothing to base an early opinion on … I do trust the GG folks to make some great eps so … I’m hopeful. Shoot, no matter what Hilary‘s role on the show will be I deffo know that I’ll be tuning in for Chuck Bass‘s gay kiss :) Woot!!

Because Britney Spears is still in NYC, NY performing sold out shows at Madison Square Garden on her tour The Circus starring Britney Spears, that means that her moochy ex-husband and father of her children Kevin Federline and his ladyfriend Victoria Prince are in town as well. Here are pics of the happy couple making a fast-food “run” for some grub yesterday:

You can’t tell because of the cropping but Vicky P. is carrying a bag of food in addition to the bag that K-Fed is carrying … I find it hard to believe that he’s gonna share but, you know, whatevs. It’s amazing how well two people can eat when neither of them work … ain’t that just the dickens?
