"Access Hollywood" reports on its Web site that Lohan has proclaimed her innocence in an e-mail to the host of the show, Billy Bush. It reads in part: "I am innocent... did not do drugs they're not mine."

The 21-year-old actress is back in trouble with the law after posting bail for reportedly driving under the influence and with a suspended license and felony cocaine possession. Lohan completed a stint in rehab earlier this month and previously had checked into a recovery clinic in January.  Lohan's attorney claims the actress is getting "medical care."

Birth Control for Hollywood Pigeons

There's so much hookin' up in Tinsel Town even the pigeon’s need birth control. City leaders and residents say they are tired of the pigeon population and the "poop problem."  There are reportedly more than 5,000 pigeons in Hollywood. A birth control product called OvoControl P could be the answer to the problem. The product, which interferes with egg development, will be placed in bird food. So far everyone seems to be in favor of the measure, including PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
