Nothing, actually. But I think this is pretty funny nonetheless.
Lindsay Lohan's mugshot.
As we've all heard over and over and over again by our faithful news media, troubled actress Lindsay Lohan was arrested on Tuesday night for driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license, and cocaine possession. (Last we heard, she said the coke wasn't hers.) Another day, another celebrity party-girl drug bust--same old, same old. But for those of us who went to the E3 Media and Business Summit in Santa Monica earlier this month, this one was particularly funny because the intersection where Lohan was arrested--Main St. and Pico Boulevard--was right smack in the middle of the gamer-geek blitz two weeks ago.
From what the TMZ.com and Perez Hilton crowd have been saying, Lohan had had an altercation of sorts with either her assistant, her second assistant, or the mother of her assistant (can we keep this all straight?) prior to the "car chase." The tiff in question was allegedly in the parking lot of the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, which had been the venue for Nintendo's big press conference at E3 almost exactly two weeks earlier. Nintendo's conference, as you may recall, was where the new Wii Fit Balance Board told CEO Reggie Fils-Aime in front of a large audience that he was overweight.
I think there are probably about, oh, three or four thousand geeks who are wishing the arrest could've been two weeks earlier so that they could've been in such close proximity to Lindsay Lohan--or on the other hand, who are glad they didn't have to deal with the paparazzi traffic jams while attempting to drive from one E3 hotel suite to the next.
Too bad, because it arguably would've been the most newsworthy moment of the conference.

What do you get if you take a used armored vehicle and add a few kitchen appliances to it? Something like the "Tank Limo," perhaps.
It may be billed as a limousine, but it's kind of a cross between a chimney-equipped Hummer and the "Donk," with a little bit of Halo thrown in--hardly competition for the new Rolls Phantom, it might even take a back seat to the Whirlpool-equipped Mini Cooper (Maxi Cooper?) where luxury is concerned, anyway. (Red Ferret does say, however, that the Tank will be getting a Jacuzzi.)

Its own description says it all: "Chopped a few windows in the side, fitted smoked-glass fridge, twin DVDs, reversing cameras, completely retrimmed the interior. We found the Army had left the massive diesel-powered crew heater in one of the 432s so we threw that in as well." It doesn't exactly scream Trump.
So why does cost $2,200 to $5,500 per night to rent? It may depend on who's using it. If Lindsay Lohan is involved, it may not be a bad investment.

(Credit: Geeksugar)You might have thought her 15 minutes of fame were over, but Jessica Rose, the actress who fooled millions of YouTube users with the staged "Lonelygirl15" video blog, is hoping to prove the world wrong. She's got a small role opposite Lindsay Lohan--yes, the fresh-out-of-rehab tabloid target--in the Mean Girls actress' latest film, I Know Who Killed Me. It appears that Ms. Lohan plays a young woman who is rescued after being tortured by a serial killer, but it's unclear what Ms. Rose's role is.
(Maybe she's the serial killer?)
And if you don't believe it, the Geeksugar blog has photos of the two together. No, boys, they aren't hi-res enough for your desktop background.
