Lindsay Lohan has been caught up in another Beverly Hills car crash - and this time she could face criminal charges after plowing her Mercedes Benz into a red van and injuring the driver. According to eyewitnesses, the Mean Girls star and her assistant were speeding through Beverly Hills after dining at exclusive restaurant The Ivy yesterday afternoon when the collision took place. Lohan and her passenger dashed into a nearby antiques store after the smash - which left her black convertible crumpled and the safety airbags inflated - and spoke to police inside to avoid the paparazzi, who had gathered outside. Meanwhile, the unnamed driver of the van Lohan collided with received treatment at the scene of the crash before he was transported to a local hospital. His condition was not known when WENN went to press. TV showbiz reporter Victoria Recano, who was filming yards away from the accident, insists she's puzzled as to why the actress/pop star was speeding through Beverly Hills. She says, "There was no one following her. She was going pretty fast on Robertson." This accident is the latest in a number of motoring woes for the actress. On May 31, Lohan suffered minor injuries when she was caught in a collision with photographer Gaio Ramirez. Ramirez was later charged with assault for purposefully ramming his vehicle into hers in an attempt to create a photo opportunity for other snappers. Just weeks later, Lohan claimed she narrowly avoided another collision with a photographer who was pursuing her.

Bollywood star Gulshan Grover has confirmed he'll be the latest Bond baddie when 007 returns in Casino Royale. The My Bollywood Bride star revealed all to newspaper The Times of India, but insisted he, like the rest of the world, has no idea who will play superspy Bond in the new movie, which will start shooting in the Czech Republic in January. He says, "I met the (Bond) producers in LA a week ago. They are yet to announce this on their official website. That's because they first want to announce the next Bond. As of now, they haven't zeroed in on who will play the central role. At least 300 actors have been considered for the role." Goran Visnjic and Aussie actor Julian McMahon are among the favourites to land the 007 role, while rumors persist that Pierce Brosnan will return for one more movie.

Troubled supermodel Kate Moss has found a little unlikely support from Sharon Stone as she battles her drug demons in an Arizona rehab. Moss has lost major modeling contracts and has been vilified in the press after images of her cutting up lines of cocaine appeared in the British tabloids last month. But, while many celebrities are keen to berate the single mother for her actions, Basic Instinct star Stone has jumped to defend the British beauty, blasting companies like Burberry and Hennes and Mauritz, who are ending their contracts with the model after the alleged drug scandal. Speaking at a press conference this morning, during which Stone was confirmed as the new face of Dior, the actress said, "I understand that she has apologized and is changing her life. And I think that that is the most important thing that's happened. I think that we have to be aware that people are allowed to make mistakes in their life... Whether or not a (fashion) house stands with her or not through it says more about the house than it does about her."

The woman who has been making Tyra Banks' life a misery came face-to-face with the supermodel on her TV chat show. Adult film star Tyra Banxxx stunned the model/TV star when she appeared on the front cover of porn industry magazine Xtreme, dressed up to look like the real Tyra. In a taped segment on her daily show, which will air on Thursday, Banks confronted her doppelganger and declared she's taking her name back. Banks also told Banxxx, whose real name is Alana, how shocked she was upon first hearing that the Xtreme magazine cover girl was using her name. She says, "For a second I was like, 'Did they put my head on someone else's body?' I thought that it really did look like me. The first thing that went through my head... It wasn't anger, it was more of a curiosity, and an empathy like, 'Where does this girl come from... And what led her to this?'" Banxxx has agreed to retire her name, insisting she never intended to offend her heroine. She tells the real Tyra, "Growing up, everyone always said I should be a model and everyone said I looked like you... You're an inspiration to me." By way of thanks for letting the name go without legal action, Banks has offered to help her doppelganger escape the adult film world and find employment in another field.

Funnyman Eddie Murphy is recalling a 12-year-old pre-nuptial agreement with his estranged wife Nicole as their divorce gets messy. In court papers filed by the Shrek star, Murphy insists the couple's "premarital agreement" is "valid and enforceable" and he intends to use it to make sure he doesn't lose a valuable chunk of his fortune to his soon-to-be ex.

In the divorce papers, he insists, "Nicole Murphy shall be restrained and enjoined from having the children in the physical presence of Alan F. Daniels."

Actor Robert Blake Monday told a civil court he never asked anybody to kill his wife Bonny Lee Bakley. Blake is currently facing a civil lawsuit brought by the children of Bakley, who was found murdered in his car in Studio City, California, in May 2001. The Baretta star was acquitted of fatally shooting Bakley in March, but her grown-up kids claim he is responsible for her death. Yesterday, Bakley's lawyer Eric Dubin introduced sections of a testimony by witness Frank Minucci, who is not appearing at the civil trial. New York-based actor Dubin claimed Blake had discussed plans to kill Bakley with him - an allegation the 72-year-old contests. Blake was also quizzed as to whether he only wed Bakley for custody of their five-year-old daughter Rosie. Dubin asked, "Was the reason you married Bonnie Lee Bakley to get custody of Rosie Blake?" Blake replied, "No. We got married to get to know each other and see if we could make it together." The trial continues.
