US reports suggest the former Jane's Addiction star is currently dating porn actress Jenna Jameson. Meanwhile, Electra has been romantically linked to Jamie Foxx since her split from Navarro.
Lohan's Attitude Criticized Again
Lindsay Lohan has come under fire from a crew member on Herbie: Fully Loaded, who adds weight to film boss James G. Robinson's claims she is "irresponsible and unprofessional." In a stern letter that threatens legal action against the young star, the CEO of Morgan Creek Productions last month branded Lohan's recent absences from new movie Georgia Rule as the behavior of "a spoiled child". And the anonymous movie insider tells PageSix.com, "Her behavior (on Georgia Rule) is exactly the same inconsiderate s**t she pulled on the Herbie production. She stayed out all night, and then the doctor announced that Ms. Lohan had asthma the next day. She played the exhaustion card a couple of times. She called in sick one day and she is across town (spending) a day with her then-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama." The 20-year-old's spokesperson Leslie Sloane-Zelnick hits back, "Until this person goes on the record like the producers of Morgan Creek did and attaches a face and name to their charges, I am not going to reply. Stop hiding behind blind anonymity!"
Bond Director Quits

Michell is most well-known for the Julia Roberts- Hugh Grant hit Notting Hill and the acclaimed Jane Austen adaptation Persuasion.

McConaughey's Car Sells for $61,600

Movie hunk Matthew McConaughey has raised $61,600 for US victims of last year's Hurricanes, after selling his beloved car on auction website eBay. The Wedding Planner star, 36, placed his 1971 Corvette Stingray convertible up for auction last month, which went on to attract 72 bids before the sale closed earlier this week. McConaughey is donating proceeds from the sale to Oprah Winfrey's Angel Network, which helps victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which devastated America's Gulf Coast last August and September. The actor lovingly described the vehicle before the sale, saying, "The lines on this 'vette are my favorite lines on any sports car. It's got the shoulders and the hips. It's got muscle and it's built for drivin'. You don't get it for the gas mileage - it's not a Tiptronic Porsche. When you wanna get it, you feel the horsepower in your backside. The music in this car is listenin' to the engine... for me it's the quintessential, bare bones, bad a*s American sports car."
