Jodie Foster says she won't abandon close friend Mel Gibson in the wake of his personal troubles. "When you love a friend, you don't abandon them when they are struggling," she told the October issue of More magazine.

Check out photos of Jodie Foster Foster worked with Gibson in 1994's Maverick and recently directed him in The Beaver, which has been indefinitely shelved following the leaks of angry voicemails Gibson allegedly left Oksana Grigorieva, his ex-girlfriend and mother of his baby daughter.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – There were no tears, no last-minute pleading and no lecture from a judge warning Lindsay Lohan she was facing serious consequences for her latest misstep in a 3-year-old drug and drunken driving case. Instead, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox on Friday sent a simple and stern message to the troubled actress — she was going to jail for nearly a month as promised for failing a drug test. When Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley asked to argue that bail should be set, Fox's reply was simple: "Nope." Bailiffs closed in and Lohan stood up. Her estranged father, Michael, said "Oh God," as she was handcuffed and solemnly led from the courtroom. Within moments Lohan was stripped of her designer high-heel shoes and jewelry and on her way to the county women's jail, where she will be held in an isolation unit. Her mother, Dina, carried the items in a clear plastic bag from the courtroom after the hearing. Lohan is due back i...

  Perry with Elmo at the show taping. Twitpic "Sesame Street" started previewing its 41st season on the Web this week, releasing teaser clips featuring stars like Jude Law , Will.i.am, Colin Farrell , and Run-DMC's Reverend Run. One of the shorts, however, got a lot more attention than the rest: a two-and-a-half minute video of pop star Katy Perry singing a reworked version of her 2008 hit "Hot N Cold" with Elmo. The issue: the perception that Perry's outfit wasn't appropriate for a show geared toward children ages one to six.

But, as TMZ notes , Perry wasn't actually half-naked -- her outfit featured a flesh-color...
