LiLo, 24, who ducked a jail sentence on Friday, spent the day doing good works along with her ma Dina, sister Ali, manager Lou Taylor, and friend Eilat Anschel.
"[I] had a nice time there today," LiLo tweeted later; "It's so important to give back. I feel blessed."
He's a genius!
David Simon, the journalist-turned-author- turned-television-writer who created
Homicide: Life on the Street for NBC and
The Wire and
Treme for HBO, is one of 23 recipients of the MacArthur Foundation "genius grants," which are worth a half-million dollars.
Simon said he had "a vague sense of guilt" stemming from his success in an industry that's "a little bit recession-proof."
The honor will make "it easier to go into the room with the network and argue against doing the usual thing in television."
Among the other recipients is theater director David Cromer, known for staging American classics like Our Town.
Katy Perry moves on from Elmo
In the wake of her betrayal at the fuzzy hands of Elmo, Katy Perry got her own on Saturday Night Live. If you forgot: The bubblepop warbler was booted off Sesame Street for showing too much cleavage in a music vid duet with Elmo. On Saturday, she guested on SNL wearing an Elmo T-shirt with a long, revealing rip down the middle.
But there's more Katy to come!
Fox on Monday told Entertainment Weekly that the "Hot 'N Cold" singer will star on the Dec. 5 episode of The Simpsons. She won't be a cartoon: She'll appear in her real, gloriously embodied, fully fleshed-out reality as part of a live-action segment.
Last and least, Gawker says Katy and her man, Russell Brand, have bought a $2.9 mil Manhattan flat.
