Daily Buzz: Lindsay Lohan Comes Clean, Jay Leno Returns, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Shine [Video]

Lindsay Lohan has come clean about her drug use. But the actress says the antics of her father, Michael Lohan have further fueled her battle with alcohol and drug addiction. Lindsay told The Sun:

When my father was going public, that’s when I hit rock bottom. I abused substances too much and it wasn’t the answer to my problems. People need to know that. I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances.

Jay Leno is pulling out all the stops and getting many A-List guests for his return to The Tonight Show. Sarah Palin, Kristen Stewart and a host of celebrities will be guests of Mr. Leno in the next two weeks.

The U.K.version of the Academy Awards, the BAFTAs, gave Kristen Stewart the Orange Rising Star award. Kristen’s acceptance speech has been commented on in the media but I thought she made a low-key but sincere speech. The British media spotted Kristen and her co-star boyfriend Robert Pattinson getting chummy at the Grey Goose after-party, according to the Los Angeles Times. The LA Times Ministry of Gossip made a very good point in today’s column about Kristen and Rob:

They’re usually more comfortable being together in Rob’s native U.K. — like their quality time over New Year’s.

Watch Kristen’s speech and tell me what you think. She’s darling.

NASTIA LIUKIN EVAN LYSACEK TWITPIC 156x300 Buzz Update: Olympians Nastia Luikin Evan Lysacek Dating, Ryan and Abbie Dump Drama, Lenos Return Guests Are sparks flying in the Olympic Village between gold medalists? According to PEOPLE, gymnast Nastia Liukin and figure skater Evan Lysacek have been dating since since last summer, but Evan told Entertainment Tonight that he was single last week. Either way, seen together in this photo to the left, they’d make an adorable couple!

Do you put out press releases when you split up? No? Well, apparently Ryan Phillipe and Abbie Cornish are sparring about who broke up with who via their PR reps, who have issued dueling press releases. As we reported this morning, the couple recently broke up but who dumped who is up for debate. On Sunday, Abbie’s publicist told People Magazine that Abbie ditched a cheating Ryan, saying:

“Abbie ended the relationship with Ryan and she moved out of their home….”

Then today, Ryan’s flack put out a statement saying:

“Ryan ended the relationship with Abbie recently while she was in Australia and asked her to remove her things from his residence, which she did this weekend.”

Our question: Does anyone really care?

Conan Fans Take It To the (Rainy) Streets
