TALKING ABOUT HI-CLASS PROSTITUTION.... AND MORE.... Now we know why Lindsay Lohan broke her promise to stay in for a quiet New Year’s Eve and instead — with her mom in tow — went partying in London. Cold hard cash. She collected at least $100,000 to celebrate with Brunei’s Haji Abdul Azim. Known worldwide as Prince Azim, he throws some of the wildest, most lavish bashes ever, topped off with gift bags stuffed with expensive party favors like iPads and jewelry dripping with diamonds. Lohan, who claimed to be planning a dinner at home on Monday night, had the party on her schedule for a while, says an insider. “Prince Azim not only flew her out; he put her up in a beautiful suite in the Dorchester for the weekend and following the party. Her mom, Dina, is also in London with her at the hotel and attended the party,†says the source. Azim, son of Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei, is third in line to throne of the small, Southeast Asian nation. The insider tells us the 30-year-old, celebrity-obsessed prince also paid Lionel Ritchie a whopping $250,000 to come sing for him and Pamela Anderson, a favorite, to come show herself off for $75,000 at the crazy bash, which he holds annually in the 10,300-square-foot ballroom at the five-star Dorchester in Mayfair. Azim’s sister, the gorgeous Princess Fadzilah, also buddied up to Lohan at the party. “He rents the ballroom and does this for his amusement,†says our source. “He rents the ballroom and pays stars to show up. Lindsay went because she’s that desperate for a paycheck.†In June, Azim threw himself a massive 30th birthday bash at the Dorchester. That time, he flew in his celeb flavors of the month, including Mariah Carey, Chace Crawford, Raquel Welch, Marisa Tomei and Dionne Warwick, who performed a few songs. In 2009, the billionaire prince’s holiday gathering was proclaimed party of the year by the British press. Lohan’s father, Michael, told Confidenti@l that he didn’t think his daughter’s appearance for money was a good idea: “Now she’s getting paid for dates?†Does prince azz realize that he is getting ripped off with the likes of Fionel Fitchie and Findsay Fohan? He's trading diamonds for zircons.

I doubt he cares if those are the originals or not. Other things are more important to him as far as these persons are concerned.

SOBER HOUSE? NOT REPROGRAMMING CENTER? OK....
"Demi Lovato Finds Comfort in LA Sober House
She’s not messing around. On Friday afternoon (January 11), reports surfaced that Demi Lovato is living in a Los Angeles sober house to maintain her health.
A source told People, "She's very smart. She takes whatever steps she needs to make sure she stays healthy."
The “X-Factor†judge has allegedly been renting a room inside a sober facility for more than a year, while still owning a lavish home outside of L.A.
This comes as no surprise since the 20-year-old remained open about her struggles after getting in a physical altercation with a backup dancer more than two years ago.
While Miss Lovato sought treatment, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. After the personal battle, Demi opened up in an interview and said, “I take it day by day. I'd be lying if I said there weren't days where I just want to stay in bed all day because I'm ashamed of my body.â€
"It's a struggle I'll probably have to deal with for the rest of my life. But I have so much life to live; I don't want to waste it."

"SOPA Foe, RSS Founder Commits Suicide at 26
Aaron Swartz's body was found Friday by his girlfriend; the tech pioneer and activist had suffered from depression.
Aaron Swartz, an outspoken opponent of SOPA and gifted tech pioneer who helped create RSS software as a teenager, has died of an apparent suicide at the age of 26. our editor recommends Fox's Jim Gianopulos Talks SOPA Debacle, Steve Jobs, 3D at USC Law Institute President Obama's Reddit AMA Answers Tackle NASA, SOPA and Beer
The New York Times confirmed Schwartz's death with his uncle, Michael Wolf, who reported that the programmer's girlfriend discovered his body on Friday and that he appeared to have hanged himself.
In July 2011, a federal grand jury indicted Swartz for his unauthorized downloading of 4.8 million academic documents from MIT's JSTOR, a by-subscription-only archive.
Pending charges include wire and computer fraud, with Swartz having faced 35 years in prison and fines of $1 million.
When he was 14 years old, Swartz co-wrote the RSS news-reader tool, and he was also behind the creation of the online hivemind Reddit.
"He was one of the early builders of Reddit (someone always turns up to point out that he was technically not a co-founder, but he was close enough as makes no damn), got bought by Wired/Conde Nast, engineered his own dismissal and got cashed out, and then became a full-time, uncompromising, reckless and delightful sh*t-disturber," wrote Swartz's friend, Cory Doctorow, in a blog post called "RIP, Aaron Swartz" on the website Boing Boing.
Swartz was a passionate internet activist and co-founder of Demand Progress, a group whose goal is "to win progressive policy changes for ordinary people through organizing, and grassroots lobbying."
A staunch foe of SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act pitting Hollywood versus the tech industry and internet freedom advocates, Swartz gave a keynote on the subject last year at the Freedom to Connect conference in Washington. He named his address "How we stopped SOPA."
Swartz also fought a public battle with depression. In a post on his personal blog, he described his condition thusly:
"Your face falls. Perhaps you cry. You feel worthless. You wonder whether it’s worth going on. Everything you think about seems bleak — the things you’ve done, the things you hope to do, the people around you. You want to lie in bed and keep the lights off. Depressed mood is like that, only it doesn’t come for any reason and it doesn’t go for any either. Go outside and get some fresh air or cuddle with a loved one and you don’t feel any better, only more upset at being unable to feel the joy that everyone else seems to feel. Everything gets colored by the sadness."

"Justin Bieber Heads To Drug Rehab – Mom Pattie Mallette Demands It – Report
The National Enquirer once again entices the public to put their bias aside and put trust in their over the top headlines that some in the grocery aisle might roll their eyes at. The latest one is that Justin Bieber is headed to rehab and that his mother Pattie Mallette is worried he’ll be just another Hollywood tragedy. He’s already headed down the beaten path of other former teen idols who have aged out of relevance, but that’s where Momma Bieber wants the similarities to end.
The Enquirer’s source says that Justin cheated on ex- girlfriend, Selena Gomez, with a Memphis teenager with whom he smokes pot. If that weren’t enough to make a mother of a superstar break the strands of her expensive pearls, photos then leaked of Justin actually smoking weed. The PR damage control went into overdrive afterwards. First, a dead paparazzo was blamed for lying about Justin’s drug use and then rapper Lil Twist was blamed. His black friend was thrown under the bus because the world wasn’t allowed to believe that Justin’s boy next door image was just a ploy to sell records. Justin smoking weed of his own free will is one of those crazy stories you would read about the Enquirer, but one digresses. Before an old lady crossing the street can be the next villain leading an 18 year old grown man astray, Pattie is ready to save her son from himself.
“Pattie recently demanded a secret meeting with Justin’s manager, Scooter Braun, and his team of handlers and insisted they take action,†the source said.
The source also says that Patti has already lined up top of the line specialists to help her son detox asap. Of course, Justin’s reps have denied the claim as 100% false. They’re also the same group that tried to sell the masses a bill of goods about Justin being the second coming of a boy scout who is just always at the wrong place at the wrong time. It’s never his fault and the Enquirer is telling lies. Except the time they were right about John Edwards and his lovechild and many many other times that they were weeks, or even months, ahead of mainstream media reporting.
The supposedly broken clock of the gossip reporting industry has been calling time on celebrities with more accuracy and frequency than ever before. Of course the publicists and representatives of stars almost always deny The Enquirer’s claims – that is what they are PAID to do – produce propaganda to make their flawed clients appear better than they really are."

"Robert F. Chew Dead: 'The Wire' Actor Dies Of Heart Failure At Age 52
Actor Robert F. Chew has died at the age of 52, reports The Baltimore Sun.
The actor, best known for his role as drug kingpin Proposition Joe on the critically acclaimed HBO series “The Wire,†died Thursday of apparent heart failure in his sleep at his home in Northeast Baltimore, his sister Clarice Chew told the paper.
News of Chew's death was first reported by his "The Wire" co-star Michael K. Williams, who took to Twitter on Jan. 18, , writing:
"R.I.P. to the talented Mr Robert Chew #propjoe"
Chew made his first TV appearances with two episodes of "Homicide: Life on the Street" in 1997. Like many of his "The Wire" castmates, he has few credits to his name after the HBO series ended.
Acording to a 2006 article in City Paper, since 1993 Chew worked with a youth theater program at Baltimore's Arena Players as the program's music director, and helped 22 of his students land roles on the HBO series.
As news of Chew's death spread, his "Wire" co-stars have sent their respects via Twitter.
Jamie Hector tweeted, "I didn't want to believe this #RIP Robert F Chew, Prop Joe will always be remembered Robert Chew will always be loved and missed!"
Likewise, former co-star Jermaine Crawford took to Twitter, writing, "RIP to Mr. Robert F. Chew aka Proposition Joe. You impacted our lives more than you'll ever know... love you."
While Wendell Pierce wrote, "To the beloved Robert Chew, a man who was real Bawlmore, and created the iconic character of "Prop Joe", may you RIP. A teacher & friend."
In an email, David Simon, creator of "The Wire," told the Balimore Sun that Chew was "not only an exceptional actor, he was an essential part of the film and theater community in Baltimore," and added that he "could have gone to New York or Los Angeles and commanded a lot more work, but he loved the city as his home and chose to remain here working."

"RICHARD KAY: Fergie's businessman friend dies in mystery fire 'caused by candles in his swish Marbella flat'
Just 18 months after moving to Spain to start a new life, having lost not one but two fortunes, the Duchess of York’s property dealer chum David Elias has been found dead in bizarre circumstances at his apartment on the Costa del Sol.
Twice-married Elias appears to have succumbed to noxious fumes after candles were thought to have set fire to rugs as he slept at his swish rented flat in Marbella.
A neighbour raised the alarm after spotting smoke pouring from a window, but the businessman could not be saved.
Yesterday, Elias’s first wife, Jenny, a former Conservative Party treasurer and vice-chairman under Michael Howard, was too upset to talk about the tragic death.
They have a son, Alexander, a merchant banker, now 25, to whom Fergie had promised to be a godmother but, in the event, never was.
Jenny, who led the campaign to erect a statue of former American President Ronald Reagan outside the U.S. Embassy in London, was abandoned by Elias in 1993 when he ran off with blonde Katherine Bromley, wife of one of his best friends, Stowe-educated art dealer Nigel Pollitzer.
They married in 1998, but a year later, and just two months before the birth of a son, now 13, Elias left her, too.
Friends are now trying to piece together events in southern Spain, where Elias had been living quietly, close to the Marbella Club. It is understood he had an East European girlfriend.
According to one close chum, David, who suffered from asthma, had been feeling unwell on the night of the fire and had taken a couple of sleeping pills.
He was alone, he had told his girlfriend not to come over because he wanted to sleep,’ I am told. ‘There had been a power cut in his building and it seems the candles he had lit burnt down and set fire to some rugs.
Apparently they gave off noxious fumes.’
Elias, known as ‘Wiggy’ because of his wayward hair, suffered seven-figure losses in the Lloyd’s scandal, but he later inherited around £14 million from relatives, which got him back on his feet —only to suffer hugely in a failed property venture in Florida."
