Big Scary Mess

Lindsay Lohan has been dropped from the upcoming film Manson Girls.

Insiders reveal that L.L. poisoned the film.

Because of the recovering addict's involvement, the producers couldn't score any 'name' actors and actresses for the pic cuz no one wanted to be associated with the tabloid favorite that is La Lohan, who has gone full-throttle back to her hard pAArtying ways.

Is that My Gun?

Dennis Farina has been charged with a felony count of carrying a loaded firearm, an upgrade from his original misdemeanor booking this afternoon after police confirmed that the gun the actor was toting through airport security was not registered.

His bail was also upgraded in kind from $25,000 to $35,000.

"Farina was very apologetic and cooperative with officers," police said. "However, he had no apparent authority to carry a concealed weapon at the time of his arrest."

Farina spent the majority of the afternoon at Van Nuys jail before being released on bail.

Things appear to getting downright hot between John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston.

According to eyewitnesses, the new couple couldn’t seem to keep their hands off of each other while swimming at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Miami.

"They were swimming and sitting out at the pool on Saturday for more than three hours," an eyewitness tells E! "They looked like they were completely into each other. She put her arm around him while they were in the pool. It was intimate. They both looked so happy."

And unlike with other dates, Aniston was not interested in hiding her new man.

"They were in full view of everyone at the pool," the eyewitness tells E! "They weren’t trying to hid it."

Ellen DeGeneres is celebrating the big 5-0 with a star-studded blowout carnival and casino-themed bash tonight on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank.

I'm told that the 600 or so on the guest list include newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Tom Hanks, Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Foxx, Paris Hilton and Clive Davis.

Pink will perform and Samantha Ronson will deejay.

DeGeneres turned 50 on Jan. 26, but postponed her party plans because of the writers' strike.

Miley Cyrus is teaming up with—ready for this?—John Travolta.

Not only are they both voicing characters in the upcoming animated flick Bolt, but Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston, tells me they could be making music together.

"Johnny may sing with Miley," Preston said at yesterday’s Step Up Women’s Network’s Inspiration Awards luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel.

Preston and Travolta’s 8-year-old daughter, Ella, is a longtime Cyrus fan. They first met Cyrus when the Hannah Montana star was opening for Cheetah Girls during their concert tour about two years ago. "We [now] know Miley very well," Preston said, "and she’s a sweetheart."

We told you a few weeks ago about the buzz surrounding Jennie Garth's possible involvement in the new 90210 spin-off.

And, now, it's confirmed!

Kelly Taylor will be playing a guidance counselor at her old stomping grounds of West Beverly Hills High.

Unfortunately, she won't be on every episode. Garth is being billed as a "recurring" role.

Not only does Madonna charge upwards of $300 for the best seats on her tour, but now she wants a piece of the ticket scalpers' pie.

Yup!

Ticket scalpers (or "brokers" as they like to be called) buy up the majority of concert tickets, leaving many die hard fans to turn to other venues to buy their tix.

Now, Madonna is going into bed with the enemy!

Her Madgesty is the first artist to make a deal with StubHub, which is owned by eBay and lets people legally scalp (or "resell") their concert tickets.

M will get a base fee PLUS a cut of all the ticket sales.

So, in theory, the higher U pay for your ticket on StubHub, the more money she makes.

This is Chase's first big screen adventure.

Chase was an executive producer on Sopranos before landing the CEO gig at Paramount.

No word if the pic is going to be a Sopranos flick...but we all hope it will be!
