Before Lindsay Lohan even walked into a courtroom yesterday, Judge Stephanie Sautner — who is presiding over the troubled actress’ probation — ordered that Lohan be taken off her community service assignment at the Red Cross and focus instead on the 120 hours of work she must complete at the county morgue, according to TMZ. But sources say Sautner is less upset with Lohan than the Probation Dept. officials that took the actress off her original work assignment at a battered women’s shelter. Apparently Lohan complained to her probation officer that working at the Women’s Center was “not fulfilling.”

Jennifer Aniston was honored at Elle magazine’s 18th annual Women in Hollywood Tribute, and her presenter, longtime pal Reese Witherspoon, couldn’t contain her enthusiasm for the former “Friends” star, according to Us Weekly. "On one hand, she is this gorgeous breathtaking beauty that men lose their thought process and their speech patterns [over] — I've actually seen this, it's incredible when they see her — and, on the other hand, she is a woman who lets you in," Witherspoon gushed. "There's not that many people actually that have this incredible combination. You just want to get your nails done with her, and you want to make out with her at the same time ... at least I do."

Tina Knowles knows a lot of details about daughter Beyonce’s pregancy, but she’s keeping mum. “They know what they’re having, but I’m not telling,” Tina tells Life & Style magazine. She would, however, divulge that her daughter has made it through morning sickness. “She went through it, but she’s got past it now,” Tina says. “She’s craving waffles.”

George Clooney and Stacy Keibler are upping the ante when it comes to red carpet displays of affection, according to Us Weekly. Most recently? Hitting Paris for the French premiere of his new film, “the Descendants,” with Keibler on his arm — just as she was early this week in New York. Clooney and Keibler “gazed adoringly at each other” while stopping for photographs on the way into the theater. Keibler seems to be enjoying the red carpet life, as she posted some advice to her fans on Twitter Tuesday: "If you know that you deserve better ... then go get it."

Hugh Jackman says he was considered to take over the role of James Bond before it ultimately went to Daniel Craig. "I got a call from my agent saying, 'There is some possible interest in you for Bond. Are you interested?' At the time, I wasn't," Jackman says, according to Total Film. "I was about to shoot ‘X-Men 2,’ and ‘Wolverine’ had become this thing in my life. I didn't want to be doing two such iconic characters at once." Still, should anything happen to knock Craig out of the role, Jackman still wants to be considered. "I think every male at some point thinks about playing James Bond," he says. "So it was not right then, but it may be right if it comes back."

Kelsey Grammer thinks that ex-wife Camille Grammer had some pretty tough expectations when they first got together. “I think she married me because I was ‘Frasier,’” Kelsey tells Piers Morgan in an interview. "[Frasier] had this great wonderful life ... he was stylish ... and just a little gay ... Kelsey Grammer is a different story." The actor also claims that his ex-wife’s involvement on “the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” was something of a “parting gift” from him. "It was a very difficult marriage and a very difficult decade,” he says. “I thought, 'So long, here's a present for you.'"
