Can you believe it? Lindsay Lohan is turning 22! We seriously thought she was like 35 already.
Girlfriend not only looks a little worse for the wear in person she has also had more stuff happen in her young life than most peeps have in a lifetime. Super teen stardom, followed by three stints in rehab, DUIs, money woes, etc.
Nevertheless, the party must go on and diligent celebrity party sniffer-outer Perez Hilton says Lohan is throwing a bash at the Hollywood Roosevelt tonight inside the VIP bar, Teddy's. Lohan has been known to party it up in here several times before.
Wanna crash Lohan's party? The easiest way to do it is to get a room. And you're totally in luck. Rooms tonight are going for $199 on the hotel's website. That's for a superior queen-bed room in the tower. The poolside cabanas cost a little more at $369.
Tell Lindsay we said happy birthday and don't drink the water bottles! You don't know what's in there.
Props to Hotel Maven CourtneyMay for dropping some pics of Villa 11 at the Sunset Marquis into the HotelChatter Flickr Pool.
We love the place enough for the slogan alone ("If we were any more Hollywood, our pool would be shallow at both ends"), but we're totally loving the sleek, modern villa too.

· The scariest lodgings in all of Hollywood? The suites at the Celebrity Centre run by Scientology. The New Yorker says there are 39 hotel rooms to accommodate visiting Scientologists. (One suite is even designed by famous Scientoloigists like Kirstie Alley.) If you don't want to stay overnight, the Centre has a restaurant called Renaissance that's open to the public. Enter at your own risk.
· In their latest edition of 36 Hours, the NYT goes to Hollywood. A hotel recommendation aside from the Roosevelt is the Hollywood Hills Hotel on North Sycamore Avenue:
Studios with a king bed and kitchen start at $129, and many rooms have balconies. Added perk -- stay at the hotel and you are permitted entry to the Magic Castle, a private club where magicians do their thing.
· While the Writers' Strike has effectively cancelled the Golden Globes, the swag suites will still go on. The Sofitel LA and the Peninsula are two local hotels hosting gifting suites. But the HBO's Golden Globes "Luxury Lounge" at the Four Seasons Hotel will not be open. Poor celebs may actually have to buy some clothes with their own money this money.
Star-watching site TMZ.com is reporting that P. Diddy is being investigated for assault and battery after a run-in with an angry man who thought Diddy was hitting on his fiancee.
The fracas went down at the celeb-beleagured Hollywood Roosevelt during a post-Oscars party on Sunday night/early Monday morning.
At around 2 AM Monday morning, the 27-year-old [Gerard] Rechnitzer was on his way to the parking lot when he made a pit stop in the bathroom. When he walked out, he noticed his fiancee was surrounded by six men, including [Sean] Combs. We're told the 5'7", 140 lb. Rechnitzer watched as Combs chatted up his girl for about five minutes, and then asked his fiancee to leave with him.
Apparently, Diddy being Diddy, asked the engaged girl to come to his late-night party at which point her fiancee got mad and then the rapper "allegedly socked Rechnitzer in the jaw." Cops were called and took a report but Diddy had already left.
Of course, this is not the first time shit has gone down at Teddy's. Kid Rock infamously beat up a fan outside the hotel here. A model once lost her cool and Lindsay Lohan has been known to get pissed when any other girl stepped near a guy Lohan was thinking about liking. Ah...the good ole' days before rehab.
Web reports say she tried, unsuccessfully to check into the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood.
At 1 P.M. on Saturday, Britney arrived alone, wearing a blue wig, and she tried unsuccessfully to book a room. She had no money nor a credit card, just a piece of paper carrying a partial credit card number.
A spy who saw Britney at the hotel's check-in desk, says, "She was crying and apparently intoxicated. She kept saying: "Nobody wants me anymore".
After unsuccessfully trying to get a hotel room at the Mondrian, a couple of tourists felt sorry for Britney and took her upstairs to their room.
Spears went to the gift shop, where she picked a bathing suit.
After picking out a bikini, Britney then went to the pool and tried to shave her legs.
After a bizarre session by the pool, Spears tried to book her own room at the hotel.
"She tried to get a room again and couldn't get one," says a spy. "She was obviously intoxicated and the hotel didn't want to be responsible for what she would have done in the room."
"She was hysterical saying things like, 'Nobody wants me' over and again.'
Yes, the reported current state of Britney Spears is a sad situation, however, it is no wonder she is persona non grata at this upscale West Hollywood hotel. The newly renovated pool and the resurgence of Sky Bar have caused the Mondrian to become a Hollywood hot spot again. Plus Mondrian just opened a Scottsdale location. The last thing the hotel needs is an inconsolable, uncontrollable hotel guest to make headlines inside the property. Not when the place is getting so much natural buzz--no pun intended.
