When you think Lindsay Lohan, you think professionalism, so it’s a bit surprising that she didn’t show up to a taping of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to unveil the Playboy cover everyone has already seen. Lindsay’s rep says she had a “travel-related issue,” which could happen to anyone, but you’d think that after missing multiple court dates, you’d learn to give yourself wiggle room rather than planning to return from a Hawaiian vacation hours before a big TV appearance. The Ellen guest spot was booked two months ago as part of Lindsay’s contract with the magazine. She’s also due in court tomorrow, and her rep says she plans to be there. “Lindsay had a travel-related issue arise that took a few hours to sort out,” he says. “It has been resolved and she will be back in Los Angeles in time for her court appearance.” [LAT]
You might have seen the photo of this “DRAKE” tattoo going around and Vice has an amazing interview with Kevin Campbell, the tattoo artist, who confirms that it’s real and says, “she acted as if she had planned it out for a while, but I’m not really sure how much extended coherent thought could actually go into getting such a stupid tattoo on your forehead.” Campbell also shares these wise words: “My whole deal with people wanting completely outrageous and potentially life-ruining tattoos is this: I’ll ask them three times if they really think it’s a good idea, I tell them what the potential consequences of getting a tattoo on their face might be, and after that, the bad decision is on them. I believe that people get the tattoos that they deserve.” [Vice]
