Celebrity News Update: Djou Wins Hawaii; Lindsay Lohan Hits the Bottle; PLUS: Beyonce! Obama! Felipe!

Posted on | May 23, 2010 | 12 Comments

The biggest Hawaiian superstar since Don Ho:

Republican Charles Djou emerged victorious tonight in the special election to fill Hawaii’s vacancy in Congress, giving Hawaii its first GOP member of Congress in 20 years.
Djou won the special mail-in election with 39.7 percent of the vote in the final printout, released at 9 p.m.
The final printout represented 171,417 ballots returned by voters in the district, which stretches from Waikiki and downtown to Mililani.
Democrat Colleen Hanabusa was second at 31 percent, with Democrat Ed Case third at 27.8 percent.
“This is a momentous day,” Djou told a jubilant crowd at state party headquarters. “We have sent a message to the United States Congress. We have sent a message to the ex-governors. We have sent a message to the national Democrats! We have sent a message to the machine.
“We have told them that we will not stand idly by as our great nation is overburdened by too much taxes, too much debt and too much wasteful spending.”

Meanwhile, on a flight back from the Cannes Festival:

Lindsay Lohan tossed back some vino on a plane Saturday – just a couple of days from her DUI hearing in Los Angeles.
After partying until the early hours of Saturday morning in Cannes, France, the troubled star boarded a British Airways flight to London Saturday, where she was spotted knocking back red wine.
Lohan arrived in Los Angeles Saturday night around 7, according to reports.
She has been ordered to attend a court hearing Monday related to her 2007 drug and alcohol busts.

Coincidence? I don’t think so!

    “Elin Nordegrin wants $750 million in her divorce”
    Only $750 mil? That’s like what, a Wheaties endorsement?? (if he were still doing endorsements)
    She’s letting him off easy!
