Lindsay Lohan, the artist currently known as Inmate #2409752, will be released from jail soon much sooner than the full term of her 90 day jail sentence. It is believed that #2409752 will likely be sprung from jail in the middle of the night this coming weekend (as early as Thursday, as late as Monday) which means that she has to plan for her reemergence into the public eye. According to reports, a slew of Hollywood stylists have been put on high alert so that they can spring into action and glam up L. Lo as much as possible once she gets released from police custody:

In the clearest sign yet that Lindsay Lohan will get out of jail this week, several top stylists as well as hair and makeup people that Lindsay loves in Los Angeles have been put on call from midnight on Thursday through the entire weekend. “I am sure Lindsay will be sick of orange and jumpsuits and I definitely think ankle bracelets are out,” Phillip Bloch, celebrity stylist and author of ‘The Shopping Diet,’ tells me. “Knowing Lindsay, I expect her to emerge in some skin tight jeans and some uber-trendy layered top. If I had the opportunity to dress her [Philip dressed Halle Berry when she accepted her Oscar] when she exits jail, I would put her in a soft and flowy sundress a la Natalie Wood. It wouldn’t be bad to soften up her image at this point.” Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, told the LA Times this week that Lohan’s earliest release date would likely be Sunday, Aug. 1. But make no mistake, Lindsay knows very well that the 30-second walk from the jail to her waiting car will be photographed and seen around the world. This is why she is determined to look her best. Which might be easier said than done. A corrections officer source explains to me that it is the jail, not Lindsay, that decides what time and date she will be released, adding that it will most likely be around midnight to minimize the press circus that will gather outside. Once Lindsay is told she is free, it will take her around two hours to be processed. During this time she will be able to call her mother, Dina, to come and get her. After all the paperwork is signed, and her belongings returned, she would be free to leave. It is at this point her glam squad has its work cut out for them.

And what sort of conditions will the “glam squad” have to work with in order to turn Inmate #2409752 back into Lindsay Lohan? Find out, after the jump …

Joan Rivers, who is enjoying a bit of a career resurgence these days due to her fantastic documentary film Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, was spotted in Beverly Hills, CA this week with her daughter Melissa Rivers and her grandson Edgar Cooper filming scenes for a new reality show that the ladies are working on together. Joan confirmed the news of the show on her official Twitter profile, which at first I thought was a joke … until these photos surfaced. Here are photos of Joan and co. in Beverly Hills and her tweet announcement about her new TV show:

I’m doing my own reality show. You’ll know it’s 100% realistic because we’re filming every episode in a plastic surgeon’s office. / Yes-seriously! It’s called “Joan and Melissa: Joan Knows Best” and it will air January 20th on @WEtv.

I think reality TV is ready for Joan Rivers. To be honest, I hadn’t given the woman a second thought in the past 15-20 years or so … but I now have new found respect for Joan since seeing her documentary film. Love her or hate her the woman works really hard and has been working really hard for decades. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work shows a side of Rivers that I had not previously been aware of and endeared her to me entirely. I know her brashness can turn people off but the fragile emotion she displays in her film truly shows how much of a softy she is underneath her hard as nails exterior. I’m not sure we’ll be seeing much of that fragility in this new reality TV show but I’ll be tuning in for sure when it debuts next year.

Woot!! How is this for amazing casting news … Broadway and TV star Cheyenne Jackson has been just been announced as the newest castmember on the hit Fox TV series Glee! Jackson will play the role of the new coach for the nefarious Vocal Adrenaline, taking over for fellow Broadway star Idina Menzel who played the role last season. I’ve been a huge fan of Cheyenne Jackson since his days as Sonny in the Broadway musical version of Xanadu so I’m really excited that he is now a part of Glee:

30 Rock’s Cheyenne Jackson is joining the cast of Glee in a major recurring role, sources confirm to me exclusively. What role would that be? Keep reading for the scoop! Jackson—who was a hoot and a half in Broadway’s Xanadu—will succeed Idina Menzel as the coach of Vocal Adrenaline. Jackson has been on a bit of a roll as of late. In addition to 30 Rock, he also landed a guest stint on the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm. And now he’s on the hottest TV show on the planet. It’s worth noting that although Menzel is being replaced as VA’s leader, she’s still Rachel’s biological mom. In other words, expect her to make an appearance or two in season 2.

I’m telling you, Ryan Murphy knows what he is doing when it comes to casting … I love that he is very aware of the talent that exists on Broadway and is happy to bring that talent to the masses who watch his hugly popular TV show. I was very excited when Cheyenne joined the cast of 30 Rock but this role will allow him to really get exposure. He is such a talented performer, I can’t wait to see him on the show! In Xanadu, Cheyenne famously wore a pair of super short cut-off jean shorts for the entire show … I’m hoping Ryan Murphy can find a way to incorporate those shorty shorts on Glee. Trust me, if you’ve seen Cheyenne Jackson in those shorts, you’d agree with me ;)

Last Friday we got to see a fun teaser vid clip, which was released at 2010 San Diego Comic-Con, featuring Johnny Depp in character as Captain Jack Sparrow to promote the upcoming sequel film Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Today we get to see a couple photos from the Hawaiian set of the film which feature Johnny filming scenes with his new Pirates co-star (and newly married) Penélope Cruz. Incidentally, these photos of Penélope are the first of her in public since news broke that she secretly married Javier Bardem earlier this month:

Johnny Depp promised that the forthcoming Pirates Of The Caribbean film would feature a ‘vicious and vivacious’ Penelope Cruz. But the Spanish actress was looking positively swashbuckling on the Hawaiian set of the new movie yesterday. The 36-year-old was decked out in a pirate’s hat, knee length boots and long maroon coat as she filmed alongside Depp on the sunshine island of Maui. It was the first time fans have seen Cruz since she secretly wed her long-term boyfriend Javier Bardem in a ceremony in the Bahamas earlier this month. But after a relaxing honeymoon it’s back to work for the actress, who will play Angelica, daughter of the evil Pirate Blackbeard (British actor Ian McShane). Few clues have been given about the film’s plot, although Depp, in Captain Jack Sparrow’s battered leathers, boots, bandanna and dreadlocked wig, was seen being blindfolded on the set as he prepared for a scene. The action will follow Angelica as she forces Sparrow aboard Blackbeard’s ship the Queen Anne’s Revenge. As he embarks on the unexpected adventure, Sparrow is left uncertain whether to fall for Angelica or if she’s actually a ruthless con artist who is using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth.

I really love that Penélope has been cast in this latest Pirates film … I think she will make a fantastic addition to the franchise. To be honest, I don’t even want to know what is going on in this scene … I’m all for plot teases while a movie is being filmed but sometimes I don’t want to know anything at all this early in production. I like the Pirates films but I’m not crazy in love with them. I think I will enjoy this film much more if I remain as unspoiled as possible. I wonder if Penélope‘s new hubby Javier will be visiting her on set anytime soon … it would be nice to see the newlyweds together in public for the first time, don’tcha think?
