I think Lindsay and Amanda are undergoing some serious mind control tactics, displaying more abnormal and criminal behavior....Why would anyone allow these troubled people behind the wheel of a car?
Also another mind control victim displaying strange behavior, Food Network Star Paula Deen.
IMO these people are programmed to meltdown...

"Bobbi Kristina Brown and boyfriend involved in mysterious single-car accident: report
One week after tweeting a photo of himself driving while holding a gun, Nick Gordon, boyfriend of Bobbi Kristina Brown, has crashed his car … under very mysterious circumstances. TMZ reports that the 22-year-old was arguing with Whitney Houston’s daughter when he somehow lost control of his black 2012 Camaro. Although the airbags were deployed, the front bumper was torn off, and the front right tire fell off, Gordon did not call police or 911 for help.
In fact, law enforcement in Alpharetta, Georgia, was only made aware of the single-car crash when a unit was called by a neighbor to check out a disturbance at the couple’s apartment. According to TMZ’s sources, neither Gordon nor 19-year-old Brown answered the door, but police did notice the banged-up car parked outside with its hazard lights flashing.
Police are investigating the strange incident, although Gordon is telling his side of the story on Twitter. On Wednesday, he clarified that he was the only passenger in the Camaro at the time of the crash, adding that he was still “a little sore.” Two hours later, he continued, “If I'm sore and I said nobody is in the car obviously I was in there.”
On September 19, Gordon – who was raised by Houston, although there is no blood relation to the family – tweeted a photo of himself holding a gun in his right hand while steering the wheel of his car with his left … and the Twitterverse exploded with fear for Brown. Gordon quickly took the photo down and tweeted, “I apologize for posting a picture with my registered gun. That's not what we stand for and I didn't harm by it, it's a collectors item. Moving forward I'll obviously be more mindful/thoughtful about how my actions influence others and reflect on the ppl I love and care about.”

" 'Sons of Anarchy' Actor Suspect in BIZARRE L.A. Double Death
7:08 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops believe Johnny was on drugs-- either PCP or meth -- at the time he allegedly killed a woman and then fell to his death.
Sources tell us ... after allegedly killing the 81-year-old woman, Johnny had fought with two men for 3 to 4 minutes ... hurting at least one of them
We're told Johnny initially used a 2x4 to attack the men ... and then used his bare hands.
Law enforcement sources say the men he fought with say Johnny showed "super-human strength" and was "phenomenally strong."
We're told Johnny tried to break into the house of one of the men ... and it took 3 people to hold him back.
One source tells TMZ ... Johnny had gone to a neighbor's home to introduce himself earlier in the day.
Neighbors tell us Johnny had lived in that house before, moved away, and then came back.
Neighbors who knew Johnny say he was a "nice guy."
0314_divider_graphic Johnny Lewis -- who had big roles on "Sons of Anarchy," and "The O.C." and once dated Katy Perry -- was found dead yesterday ... and his body was discovered at the same L.A. property as an 81-year-old woman he's suspected of murdering ... TMZ has learned.
According to our law enforcement sources, 28-year-old Lewis was found in a driveway Wednesday morning in the Los Feliz neighborhood -- and the elderly woman who owned the home was found dead inside ... the victim of a homicide. Investigators say they believe Lewis beat the woman to death.
According to multiple reports, neighbors heard the 81-year-old woman screaming ... and then saw a young man outside her home attack 2 other people with a piece of wood ... before he climbed onto the roof and fell to his death.
Lewis was renting a room from the 81-year-old victim.
Law enforcement sources tell us Lewis is the sole suspect in the woman's murder, and they are not looking for other possible suspects.
Lewis dated Perry back in 2006 -- and attended numerous Hollywood events together.
Lewis played Kip 'Half-Sack' Epps on "Sons of Anarchy" for 2 seasons, and also had one-off roles on "Criminal Minds" ... "Bones" ... and "CSI."
"Johnny Lewis Dead: 'Sons Of Anarchy' Actor Found Dead Outside Los Feliz Woman's Home
In what appears to be a bizarre series of events, "Sons of Anarchy" actor Johnny Lewis was found dead Wednesday outside the Los Feliz home of a woman who was also found dead inside.
Lewis, 28, was known for his role as Kip Epps on "Sons of Anarchy" and his "The O.C." stint.
Lewis is reportedly suspected of murdering the 70-year-old woman on whose Los Feliz driveway he was found dead. According to TMZ, the woman may have been renting a room to Lewis at the time of both of their deaths.
Although the elderly woman's death has been described as a homicide, it is unclear how Lewis came to his death. Sources reportedly heard the woman screaming inside her home and noticed a group of men fighting before one man, believed to be Lewis, climbed onto the roof. It is unclear as to whether Lewis may have fallen to his death or jumped from the roof."

"Demi Lovato’s Had Body Dysmorphia Since Age 3
In a recent interview with Katie Couric, Demi Lovato claims that since the age of three, she’s disliked her body. On Katie’s new show, Demi says:
“I remember being three years old in a diaper and rubbing my hand over my stomach, like I remember thinking in my head, ‘I wonder if one day this will ever be flat?’ It just continued. I’ve always had self-confidence issues… and it also didn’t help that I had kids in school at such a young age that were really, really naturally very thin, so I always felt like the bigger one of the group. … I believe that I was born with it, and that it was just gonna be there. It runs in my family and it’s just there. And I think that when you go through things that are traumatic… it can bring out the nasty behaviours that rise to the surface when you don’t know how to stay in control or feel your emotions.”

"Tom Cruise and Scientology's David Miscavige: 'Most Intense Bromance in History'
The most powerful Scientologist in the world has the movie star under his thumb. How does Miscavige do it?
Tom Cruise barely had a breather between what had to be one of the worst summers of his life and the smash opening of the Scientology-inspired movie The Master in New York and Los Angeles.
The Master examines what one reviewer has called the "crypto-romantic relationship" between a charismatic cult leader, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, and his "favorite disciple" (Joaquin Phoenix). The movie, which director Paul Thomas Anderson screened in advance for Cruise, comes on the heels of the actor abruptly being dumped by his third wife, Katie Holmes, in July and subjected to a humiliating media feeding frenzy, some of which included speculation about Cruise’s close relationship with Scientology’s powerful and controversial chairman, David Miscavige. Ex-Scientologist Marc Headley, who says he worked closely with Miscavige for 15 years during his long tenure with the church, calls it "the most intense, expensive bromance in history."
The church’s star member could become a liability, much the same way Phoenix eventually becomes a source of trouble for "the Master." Holmes’ divorce action against Cruise resulted in intense coverage of the church’s controversial inner workings -- including Vanity Fair’s September cover story. (Karin Pouw, a representative for Scientology, wrote to The Hollywood Reporter that the recent attention is merely the work of "anti-Scientologists who were kicked out of the Church by Mr. Miscavige, most over eight years ago, [who] used Mr. Cruise’s divorce to further smear the Church with lies so they could promote themselves." Nevertheless, she writes: “More people have accessed our websites and come in to our Churches over the summer than ever in our history. [The coverage] is having a very positive affect [sic] on people wanting to get accurate information about Scientology for themselves.â€
Some people, both in Hollywood and within the circle of former church members, wonder whether Cruise might leave Scientology -- as a smart career move if nothing else. But some insiders insist he’d never defect.
"Why should he?" asks veteran publicist Howard Bragman. "You’ve got to realize the difference between a crisis and a controversy in Hollywood. For most people, this is a controversy. It’s not necessarily going to impact his career."
According to Mike Rinder, who says he was the chief spokesman for Scientology before leaving the organization in 2007, people in Hollywood seem content to look the other way as long as Cruise is making hit movies. "But they act as if his association with Scientology is as harmless as Madonna spending time with the Kabbalah people," he says. "They don’t realize Tom Cruise is hanging out with someone who is the emotional equivalent of Jeffrey Dahmer."
Representatives of the church have called Rinder, Headley and other ex-church members interviewed for this article a cadre of apostates and have gone so far as to publish a special issue of Scientology magazine Freedom with the headline “A Posse of Lunatics.†The issue’s cover features a caricature of a group of former Scientologists, including Amy Scobee, Jason Beghe, Rinder and Tom DeVocht, sitting around a broken-down car in a field. Stories inside the magazine refer to Beghe as a "Hollywood psycho," DeVocht as the “consummate con man†and Rinder as "a walking ‘hate crime.’ "
Much of Hollywood continues to focus on other aspects of Cruise’s life, namely that he remains a likable guy who made $75 million last year and still is one of the town’s biggest names.
"You’ll never hear anything but positive stuff about anyone who’s ever worked with him because it’s always a positive experience," says a high-ranking source involved with the production of Cruise’s next film, the actioner Jack Reacher, which comes out in December. "Tom’s great in [Reacher], and it’s going to do really well at the box office. And that’s what matters."
But former Scientologist Steve Hall, who says he headed the church’s marketing division for 20 years as a writer and producer of its films, videos and TV spots, thinks box office isn’t all that matters. He says Cruise could have been viewed as an unwitting victim during his early years in the church but no longer.
"There’s a point of no return, and I think Tom has crossed it," says Hall, who worked closely with Miscavige and knew Cruise slightly. "The time for him to leave was a long time ago. The lines between him and Miscavige are so blurred now."
The consensus from interviews conducted during the past two months with dozens of former Scientology members who freely divulge church secrets was that Cruise’s relationship with Miscavige was symbiotic. Rinder says Cruise was a "really nice guy" when he first joined the church but, over time, took on more and more of Miscavige’s personality traits. "In Scientology, it’s called being in someone’s valence," says Rinder. "Cruise has assumed a lot of Miscavige’s qualities."
Church literature defines the concept of valence in part as "another’s identity assumed by a person unknowingly; a valence is a substitute self taken on after the fact of lost confidence in self or a failed valence or as a solution to a problem."
Karen De La Carriere, who says she was one of Scientology’s most well-known and respected auditors until she left in 2010, notes that Cruise was "practically channeling" Miscavige during his infamous interview with Matt Lauer on Today in 2010.
"The way he lit into Matt Lauer, calling him glib and attacking him -- that was exactly how David Miscavige deals with people," says De La Carriere. "That was the purest example of how Tom is in Miscavige’s valence. It’s a scary thing to watch."
If true, being in Miscavige’s valence might be why Cruise remains so devoted to him despite what former Scientologists say are Miscavige’s frequent betrayals of him.
Former Scientologists told Vanity Fair as well as THR that Miscavige openly mocked Cruise behind his back. Several sources have told THR that they witnessed Miscavige reading personal details from auditing files aloud. (Scientology lawyers sent a letter to Vanity Fair, which they also posted online, denying that such files exist and that Miscavige had read them aloud.)
Former church member Claire Headley says she witnessed Miscavige talking about information Cruise divulged in what were supposed to be confidential auditing and interrogation sessions a number of times during her many years with the church.
Not long before she left, in 2004, Headley was in charge of "examining" Cruise after he underwent what the church calls a "security check" at the main base in Hemet, Calif. Cruise was at a high enough level in the organization that he was required to undergo a "sec check" every six months, says Headley. Sec checks are interrogative counseling sessions, according to Headley, in which Scientologists are asked questions to make sure they are aligned with the ethics of the church.
Scientology protocol is said to call for an examiner to briefly meet with everyone undergoing a sec check after they have completed it. Headley said she "picked up the cans" – a term for the auditing E-meter -- and asked Cruise a few post-sec check questions.
But something unusual happened. "He didn't pass," says Headley. "The needle wasn't floating."
Headley says the needle usually floats on the E-meter after a session when a Scientologist has "released" whatever negative charges he was carrying.
"Tom was all surprised," says Headley. "He was supposed to leave the next day. The fact that he didn't pass became a big deal."
Miscavige, who was on the base at the time, called a meeting that night, says Headley. According to her, about eight people were there, including Miscavige's wife, Shelly. Miscavige began talking about some of the confidential information Cruise had revealed in the sec check -- mostly about relationships in his life, including issues he was having with one of his children. Miscavige also had looked at the videotaped record of the session with Cruise, according to Headley. (In the end, Headley says, Miscavige wrote up a statement that was given to Cruise, and he was able to leave the base next day, as was originally planned.)
Sharing information gathered in audits is, according to past reports, against church policy. In a 2009 Australian case in which a coroner requested church documents relating to an investigation into the suicide of a member, the church cited "confessional privilege" in its refusal to turn them over. A Scientology spokesperson at the time said members’ audit files are "privileged and sacrosanct" and went on to say, "The church has very strict protocol concerning the confidentiality of a parishioner's personal information in pastoral counseling.â€
Headley says she witnessed many instances in which Miscavige spoke in a derogatory manner about Cruise or his then-wife Nicole Kidman -- some of it based on information obtained from Cruise's auditing sessions.
She says Miscavige and his "buddy in-crowd" often met in the fully stocked officer's lounge at the base, next to Miscavige's "berthing room," Scientology-speak for his on-base suite. There they often drank liquor and Miscavige talked openly about Cruise, including information that came from his auditing files.
"I was there, I saw it,†asserts Tom DeVocht, who says he worked closely with Miscavige for years until before leaving the church in 2005. “Miscavige doesn’t give a damn about Cruise.â€
Pouw strongly denies anything like this ever happened. “Never,†she writes in a statement to THR. “This never happened, and anyone who would make such a malicious, defamatory allegation is lying. It is well known that Mr. Miscavige and Mr. Cruise are close friends.â€
“Further,†she writes, “Mr. Miscavige treats all parishioners and friends with respect, dignity, compassion and loyalty. The allegation is highly offensive. Mr. Miscavige is the leader of the religion. The Church of Scientology treats all information imparted by parishioners as confidential and sacrosanct, and no one in the Church engages in the activity your sources describe.â€
DeVocht says he believed Miscavige and Cruise were close friends until he was with them both at the premiere of Vanilla Sky in 2001.
“As soon as Tom was out of earshot, Miscavige started putting him down,†says DeVocht. “He made fun of Tom’s new SUV that Tom had made a point of showing us. Dave said his car was better. Tom was with Penelope Cruz at the time, but after the premiere was over, the first thing Miscavige said to me was: ‘Penelope isn’t going to work out. She doesn’t make eye contact with me.’ â€
Pouw writes that, “Neither [Miscavige] nor the Church ‘approve’ or ‘disapprove’ of individual parishioners' relationships.â€
Because Scientologists at every level reportedly are discouraged from reading newspaper articles about the church or watching TV news reports, Cruise might not know of the recent allegations that Miscavige disparaged him behind his back. (Pouw denies there is a policy discouraging members from reading negative press.)
But if he ever did find out, watch out: “If the dupe ever links up,†says Rinder, using church jargon -- meaning, if Cruise ever realizes Miscavige might have been disloyal -- “I don’t think he’ll try to take over the church, but I do think he’d turn on Miscavige like a rabid dog.â€
Evidence exists that Cruise has been aware of claims against Miscavige in the past. In a letter sent to ABC News’ Nightline on Oct. 22, 2009, Cruise’s attorney Bert Fields called the actor "a man of spirit, intelligence and independence." He said, "Mr. Cruise is aware of the claims made against Mr. Miscavige by former members of the Church of Scientology. He does not believe them."
De La Carriere says there is another reason why Cruise stays loyal to Scientology despite the barrage of bad press he gets for it. “People wonder all the time how anyone can stay in a church that sounds so horrible … but no one ever really explains why,†she says. “Well, why do you think all of us stayed in for 25, 30 or 35 years?â€
What non-Scientologists don’t understand, says De La Carriere, is how some of the church’s “technology†sometimes can have an enormous and life-changing effect on adherents. “It’s as if you almost feel like a supernatural being,†she says. “Have you heard of remote viewing? I’m not talking about airy-fairy, woo-hoo nonsense. Every now and then during auditing sessions, you feel as if you have left your body and you’re looking at it from three feet away. Tom is hooked on that. Most people are once they’re lucky enough to get a taste of that euphoria.â€

"Michael O'Hare Dead: 'Babylon 5' Star Dies Of Heart Attack At 60
Michael O'Hare, star of "Babylon 5," has died at the age of 60. According to The Hollywood Reporter, O'Hare died Friday after suffering a heart attack five days before.
"Babylon 5" creator J. Michael Straczynski announced the news via his Facebook fan page on September 28, writing: "I regret that I must convey the sad news that Michael O'Hare passed away today. He suffered a heart attack on Sunday and was in a coma until his passing this afternoon. This is a terrible loss for all B5 fans and everyone involved with the show wishes to convey their condolences to the O'Hare family. He was an amazing man."
O'Hare starred as Commander Jeffrey Sinclair on the sci-fi show's first season, before leaving the series in what Straczynski described as a "mutual, amicable, and friendly separation," occasionally returning to reprise the role in Seasons 2 and 3.
Largely absent from TV in recent years, O'Hare's last screen role was on an episode of "Law and Order" in 2000. He also originated the role of Col. Nathan Jessup in Aaron Sorkin's original Broadway production of "A Few Good Men" from 1989-91. The role was played by Jack Nicholson -- and earned him an Oscar nomination -- in the 1992 film adaptation."

"Lindsay Lohan Allegedly Assaulted in Her Hotel Room
Lindsay Lohan called the police early this morning after she claims she was assaulted in her New York City hotel room by a man she had just met ... sources close to LiLO tell TMZ.
According to our sources, Lohan told police she met the man at 1 Oak, a nightclub in Chelsea. Lohan said the two got into an argument later on in her hotel room after Lindsay noticed the man had taken photos of her on his phone.
A few of Lindsay's friends were in the room at the time the photos were taken.
Our sources say Lindsay told police she confronted the man about the pics and he threw her on the bed causing scratches on her hands. We're told Lindsay ran out of the room, but returned later.

According to our sources, a friend of hers was able to pull the man off her. Lohan claims she pulled the fire alarm to signal for help and cops were able to arrive in time to arrest the man.
Law enforcement sources in NY tell TMZ the man was idenitifed as Christian LaBella. He was arrested on two misdemeanor counts of assault and two charges of harassment.
Lindsay' rep, Steve Honig, tells TMZ "Lindsay was assaulted early this morning in a New York hotel. While she did sustain some injuries, she was not hospitalized. The assailant was arrested and is currently in police custody. Lindsay has spoken with police and is fully cooperating with the investigation."

"George Michael says he's seeking help for anxiety
SYDNEY (AP) — George Michael is cancelling Australian shows so he can get treatment for major anxiety he's suffered since a serious health scare last year.
The singer said on his website he had hoped making music and performing would be enough to work through it but that he underestimated how hard his recovery would be.
The 49-year-old former Wham! front man was to perform in Sydney and other Australian cities in November and early December.
He still has concerts scheduled this month in the United Kingdom. They are makeup dates for shows he canceled after being hospitalized for pneumonia in Vienna in November.
Michael spent about three weeks in the hospital and said later that his health had been "touch and go."
He performed at the London Olympics closing ceremony in August."

"Britney Spears Internet & Cell Phone Use Is ‘Restricted & Heavily Monitored'
Britney Spears has been under a conservatorship for more than four years now, and as part of that, those close to The X Factor judge keep a close eye on her internet and cell phone use, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
"Britney's cell phone and internet use is restricted and heavily monitored, and this is done for her protection," a source close to the situation tells Radar. "Britney's father, Jamie, and her fiance, Jason, want to make sure that her former manager, Sam Lutfi, isn't able to contact her. Britney and Jason essentially share a cell phone, and it's routinely checked to see who has been calling. Furthermore, the cell phones have been programmed to block calls from phone numbers associated with Lutfi. Brit's computer usage is also restricted in the sense that certain websites are blocked. Her family doesn't want Britney reading negative stories that would upset her. Again, this is all done with love and for her well-being."
Meanwhile, a restraining order that the conservators had filed against Lutfi on behalf of the pop star and her children expired earlier this year. "After the restraining order expired, the conservators went to extra lengths to make sure that Sam wasn't able to contact Britney because there was no longer any criminal threat if he were to violate terms of the restraining order," the source says.
As we previously reported, Lutfi is suing Britney and her parents for defamation and breach of contract. Lufti took particular issue with Lynne Spears' portrayal of him in her book, Through The Storm, that discussed Lutfi's role in Britney's life leading up to her very public meltdown, which resulted in Jamie gaining conservatorship of his daughter in 2008.
Jason Trawick, Jamie and Lynne Spears, talent agent Kevin Huvane and current manager Larry Rudolph are all expected to take the stand against Lufti in the upcoming trial.
Other witnesses expected to testify include Britney's ex-assistant Ali Sims, former manager Lou Taylor, who has worked with the singer over the years, and a slew of lawyers including Laura Wasser, who represented Britney in divorce proceedings against Kevin Federline.
However, one person that won't be testifying is Britney herself.
According to documents, obtained exclusively by RadarOnline.com, the defense's opening statement will be: "This case was filed by Plaintiff Sam Lutfi against Defendants Lynne Irene Spears, James Parnell Spears, and their daughter Britney Jean Spears in February 2009. In 2008, the Los Angeles Superior Court ordered that a conservatorship be established for Britney. The conservatorship continues to the present; thus, she is under the supervision and control of the court. As a conservatee, Britney is not allowed by law to defend herself. The court has directed her to be defended by her two Co-Conservators, Andrew Wallet and Mr. Spears."

" 'Saved By the Bell' star Lark Voorhies has bipolar disorder, according to her mother
Last spring, Lark Voorhies appeared on omg!’s series “The Yo Show†(watch the episode below) to reminisce about her days on the ’90s Saturday-morning sitcom “Saved By the Bell.†She looked drastically different from how we remembered little Lisa Turtle – her hair was dyed red and she had on heavy makeup – starting rumors of all sorts. Sparked by that appearance, People magazine conducted a series of interviews with the actress, and in their new issue they report on Lark’s “sad spiral,†which the actress’ mother attributes to mental illness.
People reports that during a recent photo shoot with the 38-year-old actress, her “once-sparkling brown eyes†were “disturbingly vacant.†Lark kept a “near-constant dialogue – by turns mournful, frenetic, and angry – with unseen figures,†and struggled “to focus for even brief moments.†Although Lark denied to the magazine that she suffers from mental illness – the devout Jehovah’s Witness answered the question by saying, “Oh no. We’re alive in a major time of all-in-all prophecy†– her mother, who lives with her and was also interviewed for the story, said the former child star has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, for which she has been prescribed medication.
“I care deeply about my daughter and I want her to resume her life,†her mother, Tricia, told People. However, she noted that finding the right treatment – and getting Lark’s cooperation in following through with it – has been “frustrating.â€
While Lark herself didn’t admit to mental illness, the actress – who had to schedule a second interview with the magazine after struggling through the first one – told People she has been in a constant battle with herself. “We met at a very powerful moment – it’s like carrying on the interview in a hurricane,†she said. She tried to explain away her abrupt, extended silences during the conversation by saying, “You caught me in moments of prayer. I have a strong spiritual sense.†She also talked about the voices in her head, but the magazine noted that she was “defiant about getting psychiatric help.†Explaining her reasoning, Lark said, “They can’t explain it. They can’t treat it. They don’t know about it.â€
Tricia told People that her daughter’s mental health issues stem from various traumatic incidents in her life, but she wouldn’t elaborate. “I don’t want to go there,†she said. She did say that Lark’s stalled career after “Saved by the Bell†ended in 1993 caused “a lot of stress,†and her divorce from Miguel Coleman in 2001 “caused a kind of break. … The trauma was back.†These days, Lark resides with her mother; drives, but only close to home; and has few friends. Tricia says she’s not giving up hope that her daughter will pull through, noting, "She's trying so hard. She says she's delayed, but she's going to get there."
