Everyone remembers the summer of 2009 as the SUMMER OF DEATH . . . in which we lost somewhere in the neighborhood of TWO DOZEN famous people, including MICHAEL JACKSON, FARRAH FAWCETT and PATRICK SWAYZE. --Well, here's a great counterpoint to the Summer of Death: THE SUMMER OF CELEBRITY WEDDINGS.  And that's exactly what we're in the middle of right now. --From late May, there have been 19 notable celebrity weddings . . . and there are still two months to go. --Here's a list of those who've made The Big Mistake so far . . .

There's a story going around that LINDSAY LOHAN is getting special treatment behind bars, and the other inmates are fed up with it. --A relative of one of the inmates told "People" magazine, quote, "All the inmates are sick of Lindsay. It's almost like Lindsay Lohan's here, but she's not. Like if she even moves, they put the whole facility on lockdown. --It happens all the time. For example, just yesterday [Friday], Lindsay had to go to the mini-clinic, and the whole place was on lockdown again." --However, a spokesman for the L.A. County Sheriff's Department says they don't even do lockdowns at Lindsay's facility . . . and he adds, quote, "It's business as usual. Lindsay's getting no special treatment." --About the closest thing to "special treatment" Lindsay got that we know of was that she was allowed visitors during the week. Visitation at the prison is supposed to be on Saturdays and Sundays. --But they did that so that visitation for other prisoners wouldn't be disrupted. They did NOT give Lindsay extra visitation. They just shifted the days. And that was for the convenience of the OTHER inmates. --Lindsay's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, also says Lindsay isn't getting any special treatment. And she adds that Lindsay's state of mind is improving. --She says, quote, "She's doing well, she's doing fine. Her outlook is definitely more positive . . . She has made some friends." (--It's not clear how Lindsay has made friends, since she's supposedly segregated from the other inmates.)

 

 

TMZ says that LINDSAY LOHAN got INKED before she went up the river. She STARTED getting a tattoo of a little girl with her eyes closed. But it's not finished yet, so it's just a very faint outline.

 

 

MICHAEL LOHAN has called off his wedding to Kate Major, following their little altercation last Monday. --Kate claims Michael knocked her to the floor and kicked her in the face while drunk. Michael denies it. He says Kate was the one who was drunk, and he never got physical with her. --Given the participants, there's obviously no way this relationship can end on a classy note. Michael is apparently shopping a picture of Kate in which one of her breasts is exposed, and she's passed out. --Michael says, quote, "There's gonna be a picture coming out very shortly showing how drunk Kate gets during the day when I come home. We have a lot of stuff. --If she wants to persist . . . More stuff than she'll ever imagine that's gonna come out about her dad and about her." --Meanwhile, Kate says, quote, "Michael Lohan is a disgusting human being and father. He took these pictures of me when I was asleep and without my knowledge. At the time he was my fiancé. --I have just found out about these images today and moving forward my lawyer will be handing the legalities of anyone that reproduces them."

 

 

We've heard some ridiculous things coming out of the whole MEL GIBSON / OKSANA GRIGORIEVA mess. Some have been true, some haven't, and some have yet to be proven either way. --This one belongs in the third category: The thing that officially killed this relationship . . . and sent Mel on a telephone tirade that's been heard all over the world . . . was a tree-planting ceremony. --On February 18th, Mel, Oksana and some friends and family gathered at Mel's Malibu estate for a tree-planting ceremony in honor of their daughter Lucia. --But Oksana made a critical mistake: She had a conversation with one of the gardeners. --Later on, when they were alone, Mel exploded on her, and accused her of, quote, "smiling too much" at the guy. They fought for a while, and Oksana left for one of Mel's other homes to get away from him. --That's when those INSANE phone conversations we've all heard were taped.

 

 

We often chuckle when our local newscasters declare that something is THE SILENT KILLER. But maybe when they say that about MOLD, we should listen. Because it may have helped do in BRITTANY MURPHY and her husband. --The two of them died about six months apart, of basically the same thing . . . pneumonia and anemia. And according to TMZ, the Department of Health is now checking out their home, because mold was indeed found there. --It was actually discovered during the investigation into Brittany's death, but authorities decided it wasn't a factor. However . . . after her husband's death, they think it's worth looking into it again.

 

This is for all you cougars out there: 50-year-old LINDA HOGAN is engaged to her 21-year-old boyfriend Charlie Hill . . . whom her own children went to school with. --Supposedly, they're getting married next summer on board her new yacht, which is named "Alimoney". (--Yes, that's the correct spelling.) --For the record, Linda's not the only one in her family who's involved in a creepy relationship. Her ex, HULK HOGAN, will be 57 in just over two weeks . . . and he's engaged to a 36-year-old woman who looks a little too much like his daughter BROOKE.
