What's Sidney Prescott doing at the book store?
Neve Campbell Surfaces On The Michigan Set Of ‘Scream 4’

Yesterday we got to see a few photos of actresses Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts on the Metro Detroit set of the upcoming sequel film Scream 4 and today we get to see a photo of lead actress Neve Campbell on set as well. The photos we saw yesterday were snapped in Dearborn, MI but today’s photo was snapped in Northville, MI. I mentioned yesterday that the Detroit Free Press reported over the weekend that Scream 4 filmed some scenes in an aptly named Northville bookstore called The Next Chapter … and today we learn that that is where Neve was spotted on set:

You may recall we got our first look at Neve on set last week but that photo was snapped in her trailer, not on the actual set. You can see in this photo she is filming a scene for the film. Additionally, there are other photos that have been snapped from the set that reveal a tiny spoiler from the film. If you are curious and don’t mind the mini-spoiler, you can find out what role Neve‘s character Sidney Prescott will play in Scream 4

Plus, watch video of her tearful plea to the judge
Lindsay Lohan Writes A Secret Message On Her Fingernail

Late yesterday we learned that Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to spend 90 days in jail plus 90 days at an inpatient rehab facility for failing to complete successfully the terms of her probation sentence stemming from her 2007 DUI conviction. We saw photos of sad Lindsay making a plea to the court in order to try and avoid serving any jail time. Today we get to watch video of her tearful statement … but before that … it has come to the attention of many that Lindsay had scribbled a message on her fingernail in court yesterday that read “fuck U” and seemed aimed at the judge but was more likely aimed at the media presence in the courtroom that was covering her hearing. Here are a couple of photos of Lindsay‘s not so secret message:

I suppose it is entirely possible that Lindsay would be dumb enough to write “fuck U” to the judge who was overseeing her court hearing but it seems more likely that the message was directed at the media cameras in the courtroom that were recording the entire hearing. Even still, considering that she was trying to convey an image of sorrowful contriteness, the “fuck U” message doesn’t seem like a wise one at all.

In case you missed seeing it live yesterday, you can watch video of Lindsay‘s statement to the court yesterday where she tried to win favor with the judge who was about to sentence her for probation violation — after the jump …

"I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize."
Levi Johnston Issues An Apology To The Palin Family

Levi Johnston, who has been doing every single thing possible to capitalize on his relationship with the former First Family of Alaska from changing his name to giving scathing interviews to posing semi-nude in the pages of Playgirl magazine, is now going on the public record to apologize to the Palin family for mistruths he spoke about them in the past. Considering how his desperate attempts at finding fame and fortune at their expense have failed to yield any results (and even put him in a position where he would very likely lose parental custody of his son Tripp), Levi is now issuing an apology to try and make up for his “youthful indiscretions”:

“Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true,” he tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.” Bristol added her own statement Tuesday saying, “Part of co-parenting is creating healthy and honest relationships between the parents. Tripp one day needs to know the truth and needs to know that even if a mistake is made the honorable thing to do is to own up to it.” Johnston and the former vice presidential candidate had been engaged in a war of words, with the 20-year-old accusing Palin of complaining about her job as governor of Alaska and claiming “there was a lot of talk of divorce” in the Palin household. Palin spoke out against the “malicious” remarks and also ripped Johnston for posing for Playgirl and talking about sex on The Tyra Banks Show. Though they had been in a bitter custody battle, Bristol, who recently made her acting debut on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager, has said she and Johnston want to turn “a new page here as co-parents … and [put] aside the past because doing so is in [our son] Tripp’s best interest.” “So to the Palin family in general and to Sarah Palin in particular, please accept my regrets and forgive my youthful indiscretion,” Johnston says in the statement. “I hope one day to restore your trust.”

I really want to believe that Levi is sorry for acting like a fame-whoring moron but the skeptic in me isn’t totally buying the I’m Sorrys. It’s plainly obvious that he tried to make a career out of doing everything he could to counter the Palin family and when that didn’t work, when he had no other options left to exploit (mainly because no one cares about what he says or does) he returned home to Alaska with his tail tucked between his legs, his hat in hand, ready to eat crow and try to get back in the good graces of the Palin family. I do think that this mending of fences with the Palins will be good in the long run for baby Tripp. Now that he’s sorry and the Palin family appears to have taken him back, let’s hope we never have to hear from him again … tho, I gotta say, I’m still waiting for his apology to the public for his dreadful Playgirl magazine spread. In the end, I’d rather hear no more apologies if it meant we didn’t have to ever hear from him again.

Welcome to the world Ethan Edward!
Dannii Minogue Gives Birth To A Baby Boy

Congratulations and love goes out to Aussie darling Dannii Minogue (younger sister of Kylie Minogue) because it is being reported today that she gave birth to her first child this past Monday July 5. According to the just released reports, Dannii and babydaddy Kris Smith had a baby boy whom they named Ethan Edward:

The 38-year-old X-Factor judge and her partner, Kris Smith, had a son named Ethan Edward Smith on Monday. The couple were said to be ”thrilled” with the new arrival. Minogue’s spokesman Simon Jones said: ”Kris Smith and Dannii Minogue are thrilled to announce the arrival of Ethan Edward Smith on 5th July 2010. Mother and baby are doing well and Dad is very proud. They request their privacy at this special time to adjust as new parents.” The baby boy is Minogue’s first child and, according to reports, the baby was born in Melbourne … The singer’s elder sister, Kylie, who has been busy promoting her new album Aphrodite, is reported to be flying over to welcome her new nephew in the near future. Minogue’s pregnancy has meant she has been forced to miss the recent X-Factor auditions, with stand-ins including Spice Girl Geri Halliwell and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger. Shortly before giving birth, the star wrote on Twitter that she was pining to see the X-Factor judges. She Tweeted: “Looking forward to catching up on XFactor auditions. Can’t wait to see Simon, Cheryl and Louis again soon – miss them very much. Dx.”

I follow Dannii on Twitter and it didn’t even occur to me that she hasn’t posted any new tweets in days after this last tweet about X Factor. The sneaky little lady was off birthin’ her baby in Melbourne. I am so happy for her … ever since we got official confirmation in January that she was pregs I’ve been counting down the days to the big day. Much love and many congrats goes out to Dannii and Kris on the birth of little Ethan. I imagine he is the cutest little doll. I can’t wait until we get to see him! Woot!
