BREAKING: Lohan Found Unconscious, Transported to Hospital

UPDATE: Lohan’s rep blames this on “dehydration and exhaustion,” as Lindsay was up all night filming for her movie. Her rep denied the use of any drugs or alcohol playing a role here. Lohan was reported up all night filming, went back to her hotel room at 8am to sleep. When production tried to wake her up, they were unsuccessful and called 911. Lohan is reportedly returning home and will be back on set later today.

This is a developing story, but ABC 7 KTLA in Los Angeles has reported that trouble actress Lindsay Lohan has been found unconscious at Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey. She has since been transported to a local hospital by paramedics. Paramedics were called at 10:15 a.m. PST. Details of the story will likely be flooding in and we’ll do our best to keep you updated. So stick to this page and we’ll post updates as they roll in. So far, a “friend” has said that she is doing fine and will hopefully be released soon.

Lohan is currently filming Lifetime’s Elizabeth Taylor bio-pic “Liz & Dick.” It’s no secret the troubled past this actress has had with drugs and alcohol. She has been in and out of rehab multiple times and was recently taken off of probation from a DUI case in 2007.

Report: Ryan Seacrest Eyes Dick Clark Productions

It was only a matter of time. Reuters is reporting that the American Idol host plans on making a bid to buy Dick Clark Productions. The production company named about Seacrest’s mentor was recently retained by Raine Group. A number of bidders, including Ryan Seacrest Media, is rumored to be placing bids to purchase the company.

In addition to American Idol, Seacrest had dabbled his hosting abilities in a number of different forums, including a radio countdown, a morning show on a local LA radio station, E! News and red carpet specials, as well as New Year’s Eve Specials with Clark. Seacrest also produces the E! reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians and will move to contribute to NBC’s The Today Show and summer Olympic coverage from London.

In addition to the Golden Globes, Dick Clark Productions produces other awards shows, including the American Music Awards, dancing reality competition “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.”

Clark, who founded the company in 1957, sold his majority stake to Mosaic Media Group in 2002. Dick Clark Productions is now owned by Red Zone Capital, the private equity firm of Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder.

Judge Denies CBS’s Request for TRO Against ABC’s Glass House

Update: Judge Feess noted during the proceedings that “CBS has not convinced me that they will succeed in their copyright claims…CBS seeks to protect the idea of a show of contestants in a house where cameras are running…you can’t copyright that…. I don’t know if Glass House will have any effect on Big Brother… It will continue to go forward and be successful.” CBS Scott Edelman says ABC took CBS’s #1 summer show and copied it. Citing Wikipedia as a source showing other shows similar to Big Brother, the judged joked back and said he thought Big Brother was “just Survivor in a house.” Edelman argued, “The voyeuristic feel is the embodiment of the expression of Big Brother and found on both shows.” In regards to the deposition of producer Kenny Rosen, “We thought the record that was developed was extremely compelling,” Edelman said. “We clearly have violations of a [non-disclosure agreement] and violations of trade secrets.” The judge responded, “I am not persuaded the adult appetite of viewers for Big Brother (will change).” He went on with some personal comments, “I thought after one or two reality shows we would never see others. Audience fascination with these shows is well understood even if some of us can’t understand it.” Judge Feess also wanted to note that “The closer we get to nonfiction (programming), it’s more difficult to argue copyright infringement.” It seems networks can still attempt to sue for copyright infringment but that they shouldn’t expect a victory.

ABC has incurred a short-term victory. In the ongoing lawsuit that we have been keeping you updated on, early Friday morning, U.S. District Judge Gary Feess temporarily denied CBS’ request for a temporary restraining order against the ABC series. The Glass House, set to premiere Monday June 18 at 10/9c on ABC, will live on – at least for now. The hearing is still in session, as lawyers from both sides are arguing their points in front of the presiding judge.
