LINDSAY LOHAN: Yeah, She's Sick!

Posted: Tuesday 12:49PM Jan. 29, 2013 PST

UPDATE: 9:25 PM ET - Lindsay must read TMZ. Sources say she was so scared by the gossip blog's story about her possibly getting arrested that she's jumping on a jet to L.A. tonight (Tuesday). Lindsay was trying to get out of appearing in an L.A. court Wednesday morning, claiming she was too sick to fly. But TMZ torpedoed her lame excuse by posting photos of the actress looking healthy and smoking while shopping in New York City on the same day she was supposedly diagnosed with a respiratory infection.

Lindsay Lohan could be in big trouble tomorrow (Wednesday). The trainwreck is claiming she's too sick to appear in an L.A. court tomorrow (Wednesday) as required, but photos on TMZ tell another story. 

Her new lawyer, Mark Heller, submitted a doctor's note to the judge saying Linds can't fly because she has an upper respiratory infection. But photos taken Saturday -- the same day the doctor allegedly examined her -- show her on an all-day shopping spree in New York. They also picture her smoking -- which isn't recommended if you have a respiratory infection.

If the judge doesn't buy Lindsay's story, an arrest warrant could be issued. Don't be surprised if she gets better real quick.

ANN CURRY: Not Ready for Prime Time Player

Posted: Tuesday 02:08AM Jan. 29, 2013 PST

Ann Curry is looking for her next gig. Rumors have been swirling that the former Today Show host could land at CNN. After all, her boss at NBC, Jeff Zucker, is the new president of the 24-hour cable news network. But nobody checked with Zucker about these rumors. Inside sources are saying Zucker “doesn't believe Curry is the answer to CNN's problems.” He would never offer Curry an anchor job in a coveted prime time slot. Nor would he meet her salary demands that likely approach $10 million.
