Lindsay Lohan's mother, Dina Lohan, spoke exclusively to Access Hollywood's Billy Bush about the harsh letter Lindsay received from a studio executive and comes to her defense.

The interview airs on Access Hollywood, Monday, July 31, 2006.

Earlier this week, Lindsay received a letter from the CEO of the production company on her current project, "Georgia Rule," scolding her for her "…irresponsible and unprofessional" actions. In response to the letter, Dina told Bush, "The wording was ridiculous." When asked if she thought the executive, James G. Robinson, was out of line and what brought on the unprecedented blast, Dina said, "I feel when you are 19 (years old) it is way out of line… Maybe he has personal issues with whomever and it came out with my child. I don't know him. I can't judge him. I don't think it was a smart thing to do to a young girl."

When asked if there was any truth to claims in the letter, Dina came to her daughter's defense saying, "Lindsay was in 105 (degree weather) saying, 'Mommy, I feel sick; like I am going to faint.' She took herself to the hospital. She has asthma and in extreme cold or heat you can't breathe."

Dina added, "…I'm a mother and will do what I need to do to protect my child…I don't feel it should be aired out and everyone should know. It's personal."

When asked about accusations in the letter that Lindsay's "…ongoing all night heavy partying" was responsible for her not showing up on set, Dina said, "Lindsay gets to work late, OK… She's a human being. There was one day when she was late and they worked the schedule around her. Garry (Marshall, the film's director), Jane (Fonda, her co-star), everybody loves her."

In regards to Lindsay's status, Dina told Access Hollywood, "As far as Lindsay's health is concerned, she's fine and she is back on set." Dina added to Bush, "She will win an Academy Award for this picture… Justice!"

Geri Halliwell has reconciled with the father of her baby, against the wishes of her mother.

The 33-year-old star gave birth to daughter Bluebell Madonna in May, but until now has refused to let the film producer father, Sacha Gervasi, see his baby.

Geri has now had a change of heart but her mum, Anna Maria, has reportedly told her to stay away from him.

A source told Closer magazine: "Anna Maria's keen to keep Geri away from Sacha, until she's got used to being a mother.

"She's not terribly pleased that Geri has agreed to let Sacha see Bluebell, and is trying to talk her out of it.

"She is delighted Geri has taken to motherhood so effortlessly, and is afraid Sacha's presence will complicate things."

Geri fell pregnant after a brief fling with Sacha last year, but ended the relationship.

Sacha, who once had a £200-a-day heroin habit, flew to Britain to see his daughter just after she was born, but was refused access.

Geri's friend added: "Geri and Sacha have rowed a lot over the past few months, and she's got fed up with it. She's now realised Sacha has to meet his daughter, and he should be a part of little Bluebell's life."

DON'T expect Lance Bass and his lover Reichen Lehmkuhl to be together much longer. Friends of Bass say he's sick of Lehmkuhl's controlling ways. "Reichen forced Lance to come out just at the same time he has a book coming out ['Here's What We'll Say'] so he could ride the publicity wave," said our spy. "He is a big gay activist and very controlling. He wants Lance to give up his straight friends and do whatever he tells him to." Lehmkuhl has taken every opportunity to go on-air. He told "The Insider," "I'm happy it's shocking people . . . I couldn't be more proud of Lance. It's definitely a sense of relief. There are a lot more smiles. We are so happy about it." A rep for Bass skirted the issue and said: "Lance couldn't be happier with the overwhelming reaction he's getting from all over the world."

Johnny Borrell turned down a role in a movie because he was working on Razorlight's new No1 album.

Johnny, 26, said: "They wanted me to play a musician but we were making the album. I went out to New York to write lyrics and was sitting in Washington Square when they told me to move.

Michael Jackson's Neverland fairground is being transported to Tokyo. The megastar has sold the California park's rides to a mystery businessman.

And they'll be taken to Japan to form the centre-piece of a "Wacko Jacko" theme park. Jackson, 47, has sold all 16 of his rides for a cut-price £300,000 - six times less than he paid for them.

They include a Ferris wheel, a giant roller-coaster and a go-kart track.

Jackson's favourites were the Wave Swinger, with seats attached to long chains and The Spider, a twisting ride he called "The Puke Bucket."

Jackson's Los Angeles spokeswoman refused to name the buyer of the rides but she confirmed that he is expected to start transporting them to Tokyo next month.

David Hasselhoff became "The Huff" after being spurned by sexy Brit model Vikki Thomas.

The ex-Baywatch star hit the headlines over a series of drunken incidents while his divorce was being finalised.

But pals say he was also upset after his sexy advances were rejected by Vikki during filming for a new TV advert.

He poured out his heart to the bikini babe about his unhappiness at being a single man again. And even told friends he thought Vikki might be marriage material.

One said: "He saw in Vikki the potential to be the next Mrs Hasselhoff but sadly it wasn't to be - despite his flirting. With the divorce and everything else to deal with it was just another in a long line of woes."

And Vikki, 27, admitted they teased each other but added: "He did seem alone. He needs a new girl by his side to make him whole again and I hope he finds the right girl soon. That isn't me though!"

Jennifer Ellison has broken off her engagement after a series of blazing rows with fiance Tony Richardson.

The actress, 23, has recently been spotted without her engagement ring. And pals say the pair have had huge arguments at their home in Cheshire.

A pal of Jennifer's said: "They have been fighting like cat and dog. Jennifer is very feisty but so is Tony so they have blazing rows. They've been through a very rough patch over the past few weeks and Tony is on his lact chance. Jennifer has taken off her engagement ring to show how series she is."

The arguments are believed to have started after Jennifer spent weeks away during her second stint playing Roxie.

Jennifer's relationship with Tony has been under strain before. His brother was shot in a gangland feud over drugs. Then her family home was shot at and two huge fireworks were hurled under her car.

And the couple came under more pressure when a £50,000 bounty was put on Tony's head after he was wrongly accused of being a police informant.
