Lohan fails drug test, faces jail
Lindsay Lohan admitted on Friday she failed a drugs test, meaning she may be ordered back to jail a month after she was freed on bail.
The 24-year-old actress stressed that drug addition was a disease which she hopes to overcome, but acknowledged that she was a “work in progress.”
“Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test ,” she said on her Twitter feed, apparently confirming reports on the TMZ celebrity news website and People Magazine online which said she failed the test last week. The failure would be a breach of her bail conditions, which could require her to return to jail for 30 days, the news outlets said. Lohan said she was prepared to appear in court if required next week. “This was certainly a setback for me but I am taking responsibility for my actions and I’m prepared to face the consequences” she wrote.

Gaga wants end to Army gay policy
Los Angeles: Lady Gaga has spoken out against the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” US legislation which forces gay and lesbian servicemen and women to live in secrecy or risk being discharged.
The Poker Face hitmaker, a gay rights activist, posted a video on Twitter asking her six million followers to urge the Senate to overturn the 1993 legislation by contacting their local senators.
In the seven-and-a-half minute clip, the 24-year-old sat in front of an American flag, conservatively dressed in a black suit and tie. “Since then (1993) 14,000 Americans have been discharged from the armed fo-rces, refused the right to se-rve their country and sent home regardless of honourable service or how va-luable they may have been to their units,” the singer sa-id in the video. She then po-sted a tweet professing her love of US Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who responded with an invitation to visit him. —PTI
