Cee-Lo at CHOP
Cee-Lo Green stopped by Children's Hospital Monday to check out The Voice, the multimedia center that "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest's charitable foundation dedicated on Friday. The "Forget You" singer, one of the judges on NBC's "The Voice" - which is unrelated to the Seacrest project - was interviewed by a Children's patient. Their conversation was broadcast live via TV in patients' rooms.
Fight club
Michael Lohan and Damon Feldman, now there's a combo.
The fame-hungry father of Lindsay Lohan and the Celebrity Boxing promoter have teamed up for a reality-show pitch "The Lohan Project," in which they will feature aspiring models, actors and entertainers working with Lohan to make it in show business.
The pair will be at W.C. Murphy's (1254 West Chester Pike), in Havertown, from 7 to 10 Friday night looking for proteges for Michael Lohan to work with.
Lohan can now be seen on VH1's "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," and tells us he went to rehab for his co-dependency issues, having already beaten alcohol and cocaine abuse.
Lohan says he is cured of the co-dependency, which plagued his relationships with women and is single. The former commodities trader swears that he never sold information about Lindsay to the tabloids or paparazzi photogs but that if somebody wanted to pay him for an interview, that's different.
He says that despite reports to the contrary, he and Lindsay speak regularly and have a good relationship. "We were at odds when she was active in her addiction because I wasn't a friend, I was her father," he told us.
"Not once did I ever sell anything on my daughter and I never made a dime off of her," Lohan says, apparently unaware that by selling interviews and building a reality-TV career as Lindsay Lohan's father, he IS making money off her.
More 'Backwards' cast info
Margaret Colin, who plays Eleanor Waldorf on "Gossip Girl," and Glen Morshower, who played Aaron Pierce on "24," are among the cast of "Backwards," the movie we told you about yesterday. It stars "Dawson's Creek" star James Van Der Beek and will shoot in the area for several weeks. Van Der Beek co-stars with Haverford native Sarah Megan Thomas, who wrote and is producing the movie. Ben Hickernell is directing.
Wahlberg blurbs Papale
Mark Wahlberg, Billie Jean King and Pat Croce all gave quotes on the book jacket of "Be Invincible: A Playbook for Reaching Your Full Potential," by former Eagles wide receiver Vince Papale and his wife, Janet Cantwell-Papale, a former gymnast. Wahlberg, you'll recall, played Papale in "Invincible."
The book, co-written by Tim Vandehey, is out Aug. 4 and is self-published by the Papales. It covers issues such as finances, professional relationships and marriage and will be available to buy at vincepapale.com.
A prize roomie?
South Philly's Kyle Griffin is up for a $10,000 prize plus free rent for a year in the 3rd annual Apartments.com Roommate of the Year contest. Griffin, 23, a digital media assistant at the Mutter Museum, shares a house with Jason Jones, 30, a house painter. The pair appear in a video posted at roommateoftheyear.com, where people can vote through July 31 for Griffin. His video illustrates that he's a great roommate because he cooks nightly, never complains, and makes excellent charts. He's one of 12 finalists and hopes to earn local votes.
