• Lindsay Lohan Angry Over Scary Movie 5 Jokes

  

  If you've missed the new trailer for Scary Movie 5, then you missed a real treat. The central character in the movie is Ashley Tisdale and the old owners of the house that is apparently haunted are played by Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan.

  In the footage, Lindsay is seen on some old footage and the producers of the movie are actually poking fun at her for getting her probation revoked. Ha. Apparently she had no idea that they were going to sneak that in to the trailer and she's said to be super angry about it.

  There hasn't been any word on them poking hilarious fun at Charlie, though, because he has a sense of humor.

  She was told that she would have the final say over any of the jokes that were going to be made at her expense and apparently she wasn't a fan of the final one. She says that the producers tossed that joke in the movie because they felt that she held up the shoot for the movie and trashed her trailer during filming.

  Perhaps she should just try growing up already?

  
• 2012's Weather which kept Britain talking all year
  
  

  A heatwave in March, a twister in Bicester and the wettest summer on record: Britain's topsy turvy weather which kept Britain talking

  By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

  PUBLISHED: 23:22, 24 December 2012 | UPDATED: 00:09, 25 December 2012

  From sunbathers on the beach during the third warmest March in history, to mass flooding around the country during the wettest April in 100 years, this year's weather has certainly been one of extremes.

  In many cases, it has been impossible to predict whether it was going to snow, pour down with rain or be gloriously sunny as the traditional seasons appear to have become a thing of the past. 

  Here we look back on the weather events that hit the headlines in 2012... 

  

  

  Extremes: Crowds flock to Brighton Beach as the sun shines in Sussex during unseasonably warm weather for March, left, and a newly built apartment Spencer Court in Newburn, Newcastle, was left perilously close to collapsing after heavy flooding in the area in September, pictured right

  
  

  JANUARY: Warm weather and 111mph gales

  The start of ! 2012 got off to an unseasonably balmy beginning with temperatures reaching highs of 15C across many parts of the country as revellers sang in the new year.

  The unusually warm weather saw snowdrops, daffodils and geraniums flowering several months early. 

  But within a week, the country was battered by 111mph gales from an 'intense Atlantic storm', which caused havoc across the country.

  Roofs were torn off buildings, trees and power cables crashed down on to cars and trains, and major routes were closed because of obstructions from debris and dangerous conditions.

  
  

  Gales: The driver of a single decker bus in Witley, Surrey, was badly injured when an oak tree came crashing down on the vehicle in January

  The Met Office issued numerous severe weather warnings and emergency services urged motorists and pedestrians to stay indoors.

  Numerous roads near rivers and the coast were shut after flood alerts, with the Environment Agency issuing 21 river alerts in the South West alone.

  A driver was killed when a tree fell on his van in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. The storm also claimed the life of a man on board a tanker which was hit by a huge wave in the Channel.

  Around 1,500 homes in Steeton, near Keighley, West Yorkshire, were without gas after equipment was damaged by high winds. At Epsom racecourse in Surrey, part of a grandstand was blown away.

  Sleet and snow added to the problems in some parts, bringing a cold wake-up call to Britain in 2012 after an unusually mild festive season.

  FEBRUARY: The coldest temperatures since December 2010

  A big freeze hit Britain in February as temperatures plummeted to -12C - the same temperature as the Himalayas - and the country was repeatedly covered in snow. 

  Major snowfalls hit the South East, East Anglia, Lincolnshire, parts of the Midlands, Yorkshire and the North East. The areas heaviest hit were Church Fenton, near Tadcaster, North Yorkshire and Wattisham, Suffolk – both blanketed under six inches.

  The snow caused traffic chaos as many roads closed and the RAC said it had had the busiest February weekend in its history, with 41 per cent more calls than usual.

  Heathrow Airport - the third busiest airport in the world - cancelled half of its flights after th! ree inche! s of snow fell on its runways. 

  The conditions hit schools too, with around 20 primaries and secondaries in Kent and Medway closed or shut for part of the day. East Sussex County Council said it had 40 primary and secondary schools closed or partially closed.

  By the middle of the month, temperatures had fallen even further to -18C - making it the lowest temperature record since December 2010.

  Many flowers that had bloomed early in January were killed off by the freezing temperatures. 

  More than £1million worth of daffodils, which stop growing when temperatures are below 6C were destroyed - leaving a shortage of the popular bloom.

  MARCH: The third warmest on record

  The freezing temperatures were long gone by March as many parts of the country hit 21C - making the UK hotter than many parts of the Mediterranean including Greece, Crete, Cannes and Bermuda.

  Sun seekers across the country made the most of the unusually warm weather by heading to the beach and parks to soak up the sunshine as the country enjoyed its third warmest March since records began! . 

  According to official records up to March 28, the average temperature for the month across the UK was 7.6c (45.7f). Since records began in 1910, only 1938 and 1957 have enjoyed warmer Marches.

  But as summer came early, so did concerns about a possible water shortage. 

  Official provisional figures also show March was one of the driest on record, with 38 per cent of the normal rainfall for the time of year.

  Lincolnshire had one of the driest months on record after only 10mm of rain fell in the whole month while East Anglia saw just 20mm when the average rainfall for the country at in March is between 40 and 60mm.

  Water companies in the South and East of England, where rainfall had been too low for nearly two years, prepared to announce hosepipe restrictions affecting one in three homes in the UK.

  APRIL: The wettest for 100 years

  Icy conditions returned in time for Easter as the weather continued to yo-yo back and fourth between hot and cold.

  A freeze descended on the country, with snow falling from Devon to Scotland, turning the heatwave! in March! to a distant memory.

  Motorists faced almost blizzard-like conditions over the Blackdown Hills and on parts of Exmoor in Devon.

  The north of England and Scotland saw up to six inches of snow while the south of the country was battered by 60mph gales.

  The beginning of the month remained largely dry and hosepipe bans were brought in across the country. But the weather turned yet again with more than a month's worth of rain falling in just 36 hours.

  
  

  The wettest April in 100 years: A torrential downpour turns the steps down to Langland Bay, near Swansea, into a waterfall

  Hardest hit was the South West, where the Met Office issued flood warnings for the Devon rivers Axe, Otter, Coley  and Taw, along with the Char and Wriggle in Dorset.

  Tewkesbury, which suffered severe flooding five years ago, was among the areas affected by heavy rain, with flood alerts in place for every river in Somerset.
  

  The figures up to April 29 show the amount of rain which has fallen is almost double the long term average for April of 69.6mm, in records dating back to 1910 making it the wettest April for 100 years. 

  Yet water companies remained adamant that the hosepipe bans would not be lifted - saying the downpour was not enough to end the official drought caused by two previously dry winters.

  
  

  Full flow: The heavy rainfall caused rivers to swell, including Mellte in Pontneddfechan in the Brecon Beacons South Wales

  MAY: A dank Holiday Monday and a twister in Bicester

  The bank holiday at the beginning of the month was a washout as most parts of the country continued to be hit with heavy downpours. 

  But residents in Bicester got a little more than rain after a twister - rarely seen in Britain - hit Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

  Fierce winds uprooted trees, sent garden furniture flying and brought hailstones 'the size of marbles' on May 8 as Britain was struck by a 'supercell' storm. 

  It started in Wiltshire and moved across Oxfordshire – where a tornado was reported in several places including Bicester, Eynsham, and Kidlington – then on to Buckinghamshire.

  Ominous: Black storm clouds twist overhead in a still from amateur footage recorded on the A34 heading south at Kidlington, Oxfordshire

  The phenomenon, more typical of America's Great Plains, is also known as a rotating thunderstorm. It is believed to be the result of winds at two differing heights blowing at different speeds and in opposing directions, ca! using the ! air under the storm to spin violently creating a tornado effect.

  Supercell storms are so powerful they create their own weather system, independent of surrounding storms.

  The remainder of the month saw more rain fall across the country before a heatwave hit at the end of the month with temperatures reaching the mid 20s.

  JUNE: A rare storm and an end to the hosepipe ban

  The launch of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations coincided with the UK being hit by winds of up to 50mph and more rain.

  A rare June storm then swept in from the Atlantic pushing winds speeds in coastal areas to 80mph. The strongest gust, of 82mph, was recorded at the Needles on the western tip of the Isle of Wight.

  An 18-year-old driver was killed after being flung off his moped by the strong winds in Lancing, West Sussex.

  Trees were pulled from their roots by gales further inland and England's cricket test match against the West Indies in Birmingham was rained off for the second day – the first time since 1964 that the first ! two days ! of play have been a washout.

  The Met office issued amber weather warningS for Wales, South West England, East of England, London and the South East, the West Midlands and the East Midlands.

  A month's worth of rain fell in just a few days in some places - putting an end to the hosepipe ban.

  The period from April to June was the wettest since 1910.

  JULY: More rain and misery 

  Another damp start with torrential rain sweeping across much of the country with numerous flood warnings in place.

  More than a month's worth of rain pelted parts of the country in just 24 hours, swelling rivers and streams, causing landslides and wreaking havoc on road and rail networks.

  Dozens of flood warnings and alerts were in place as heavy rain continued to fall on ground already saturated after three months of record-breaking rainfall across the UK.

  The M50 in Worcestershire was among a number of roads closed by the bad weather, while flooding and landslips caused delays on major rail routes.

  York found itself submerged under water again after having already flooded several times earlier in the year. Flash floods hit Hebden Bridge, Calderdale, in West Yorkshire, four times in three weeks as heavy rainfall made the town 'impassable'.

  Academics blamed the relentless rain on layers of melting sea ice across the Arctic Ocean as they've pushed cold plumes of air much further south than usual for this time of year.

  But sun seekers finally got some well deserved warm weather as a mini heatwave arrived at the end of the month in time for the start of the Olympics.

  AUGUST: Summer finall! y arrives! but the gales are soon back in force 

  Summer finally arrived in the UK as temperatures reached up to 28C as Olympic fever hit the country.

  The hot weather added to the feelgood factor inspired by Team GB's amazing gold successes at the Games.

  Beaches around the country were packed and many made the most of the sunshine by watching Olympic events on big screens in parks around the country.

  But the gales soon returned with the V Festival in Staffordshire one of many events effected by heavy rain.

  More rain followed with the UK set for another wet bank holiday weekend and more flooding.

  Motorists in Ramsbottom, Lancashire, found themselves driving through several feet of water as clouds unleashed huge amounts of rain in just 20 minutes.

  Figures from selected weather stations show 335mm (around 13 inches) of rain fell between June 1 and August 23.

  This year also saw the coldest August evening in 40 years! .

  SEPTEMBER: An Indian summer and Britain's worst rainstorm in 31 years 

  Temperatures peaked at a high of 29.3C near Cambridge and Chelmsford, in Essex, at the beginning of the month - the hottest for September in six years.

  It is the warmest since the mercury hit 30.2C (86.4F) at Heathrow on September 11, 2006, with some parts of England warmer than Malaga, Spain, and the South of France.

  But the worst September rainstorm in 31 years then struck - wreaking havoc and destruction around the country.

  Shocking: Residents in Newburn, Newcastle, had to be evacuated from a block of flats after heavy rain washed away the gardens and foundations of the houses

  A block of flats in Newburn, Tyne and Wear, was left teetering on the brink of collapse after its foundations were left totally exposed after extreme rainfall ripped away the ground from underneath the building.

  Around 570 properties were flooded across England and Wales because of the storm, and railways and roads were swamped by high water levels.

  The Met Office said the most intense September storm since 1981 is the result of the unusual position of the jet stream: a high-altitude band of wind which steers weather systems.

  OCTOBER: A three-day fog and the first snow of winter

  Unseasonably warm weather saw temperatures hit 20C as a wave of hot air from North Africa hit the country.

  But the tranquil autumn didn't last long as a blanket of fog descended across the country for nearly three days. 

  The fog caused traffic chaos as the poor visibility led to a slew of disrupted flights both inbound and outbound across airports in London and the south east.

  London City Airport had to cancel nearly 300 flights because of the weather while Heathrow Airport in west London cancelled nearly 200.

  A winter chill then settled in on the country with the first snow of autumn falling just in time for the clocks turning back.

  Parts of the UK were as cold as Moscow as temperatures dropped below freezing.

  NOVEMBER: Snow-vember arrives followed by the floods
  
  Winter arrived with a bang as up to six inches of snow blanketed the south and west country. 

  A light scattering of snow was reported in Gloucestershire, an inch fell in Dorset, and up to six inches fell in Somerset in Bath, Frome, Midsomer Norton and the Mendip Hills, after temperatures plummeted.

  The snow was soon replaced by further rainstorms as 70mph gales and heavy rain hit the Midlands, Wales and south west.

  Some places in Cornwall, South Wales, Snowdonia, the North West and the Highlands had more than six inches of rain in a week while other places like East Anglia and Aberdeenshire had less than half a centimetre.

  
  

  Snow-vember: Snow coats the countryside near Bath, Somerset, as heavy snowfall hit the region at the beginning of November

  Many householders were forced to flee their homes because of flood water as the fresh downpours became too mcuh for the already sodden ground.

  Another man died after falling into the Grand Union Canal in Watford and a 77-year-old pensioner died after his car was washed down a river when he crossed a ford.

  The flooding is believed to be the worst in 70 years.

  DECEMBER: Christmas misery as more homeowners hit by flooding

  Freezing fog and ice brought beautiful scenes to the countryside but transport chaos in many cities as temperatures plummeted to -10C.

  About 200 flights were cancelled as airports struggled to deal with the treacherous conditions, while major roads were jammed and rail users faced delays after the country woke to a thick blanket of frost and fog.

  But by December 14th, the storms returned, battering the country with rain and high winds.

  Within days, numerous flood warnings and alerts were in place across England and Wales, with large areas of southern and south-western England, south-east Wales, the Midlands and the north-east all under threat.

  Hundreds of homes and businesses were swamped with floodwaters, from the southern-most parts of Cornwall to the Highlands of Scotland as winter rains fall across land saturated to bursting point.

  There are fears that more rain will hit the region in the coming days causing more flooding misery at Christmas.

• Jack Klugman Has Passed Away At 90

  

  Jack Klugman has passed away at the age of 90-years-old in his California home on Monday. Such sad news, we really loved his acting talent.

  If the name doesn't ring a bell, then you weren't raised right. Ha. He was one half of the talented acting team that made up The Odd Couple and starred as Quincy in Quincy, M.E. He was a fine actor when he was with us and he will be greatly missed.

  On Monday, he went to his final resting place. He was 90-years-old, so there really isn't that much of a question about his cause of death. But still, he was an awesome talent in his day and age and it will be felt among the entertainment world as a void is surely there.

  In 1974, he was diagnosed with throat cancer, but he fought it off for over ten years. In the late eighties, he had part of his larynx removed and as a result, lost his voice. At that time, he trained himself to speak again.

  May he rest in peace.

  Santa looks like he might have been getting a little extra help tonight, in the form of glamour model Leilani Dowding. 

  The stunning former reality star of Tough Love Miami made sure all eyes were on her as she stepped out in a sexy backless sequinned dress  - one of her own designs - complete with a Santa hat. 

  The 32-year-old flashed a glimpse of her perfectly toned and tanned legs as she posed for photographers waiting outside the W Hotel in Hollywood, completing the look with funky black nail polish, strappy sandals and black studded bag.

  The red slashed neck sequined design was one from the model's own range, and who better than her to show it off?

  
  

  She completed the look with a sexy Santa hat, black strappy sandals, funky black nail polish and a studded bag

  The former Miss Universe and ex page three model contestant has recently launched her own clothing line, Leiluna, which has become a hit with other celebrities. 

  Backless designs similar to that worn by Ms Dowding, have recently been modeled by The Saturdays singer Una Healy, former pop star Michelle Heaton and TOWIE's Lauren Goodger, on nights out. 

  Other celebs spotted in the designs include US heiress Paris Hilton, and country music star LeAnn Rimes.

  

  

  The former page three girl, said she started designing clothes 'she would want to wear herself'

  The designer, who has dated US actor Stephen Dorff and Tough Love co star George French, sells the clothes online and in boutiques in the U.S. and London.

  'I started making myself dresses I wanted to wear,' explained Leinani in a recent interview.

  'LA is a hard place to find something sexy AND elegant. People would always ask where I got them from whenever I wore them out. So I started small, making five or six of one style at a time.

  
  

  The star showed waiting photographers exactly how her backless dress design, which Towie's Lauren Goodger and The Saturdays singer are reportedly fans of, should be worn

  And with the recent release of "red" she's out there a lot more than usual and I simply can't resist talking about all of these.

  

  This set in particular is a great example of what I'm talking about.

  She added: 'At my mum's party, she has so many different things to try. I eat a little bit of everything, but not so much that I feel guilty. Everything in moderation.'
