This article profiles Lindsay Lohan. At 18, Lindsay Lohan is launching her first album, getting over a breakup, hitting the clubs--and coping with a painful family feud. Neither her October hospitalization for exhaustion nor her subsequent breakup with actor Wilmer Valderrama, the 24-year-old costar of That '70s Show, has put a damper on her lifestyle, which saw her partying almost nightly during a recent week in New York City. This is one subject on which her bitterly divided parents are united. "Any 18-year-old who has accomplished what Lindsay has would party 20 times as much as Lindsay does," says dad Michael. Adds mother Dina "Lindsay is totally fine. She understands that the more successful you are, the more you are in the public eye. She just deals with it." On one hand, the star is extremely close to her mom, who also serves as her manager and seems at ease in her daughter's world. And then there is Lindsay's relationship to her troubled father. The most recent turmoil stems from a Nov. 13 incident in the family's hometown of Merrick, N.Y., where Michael appeared at a soccer game in which Lindsay's younger brother, Dakota, 8, was playing despite a restraining order. Clearly, the ongoing father-daughter drama has been emotionally draining for the young star. INSETS: The Starlet Who Never Sleeps;FRIENDS & FOES.

This article focuses on the actresses starring in the television program "Desperate Housewives," and their characters on the show. So it went when an under-the-weather Eva Longoria, who plays lingerie-flaunting Gabrielle on ABC's new smash Desperate Housewives, made a recent grocery-store run for chicken soup. Set amid the white-picket perfection of Wisteria Lane, U.S.A., the show invites viewers to snoop into the lives of four neighborhood pals: Lynette (Huffman), a business exec turned stay-at-home mom. she quips--while Huffman knitted a banana hat for her daughter's Halloween costume and Longoria gobbled a plate of ribs between scenes. The actress took a six-year break to raise daughter Emerson (with ex-husband Jon Tenney) after wrapping Lois & Clark in 1997. The London-born actress broke out in 1986 as a vixen on Knots Landing but ended up drawing just as much notice for her love life: past romances include Leif Garrett, Scott Baio, Michael Bolton and Harry Hamlin, to whom she was wed for one year.

The article presents opinions from celebrities on plastic surgery. As the nip-and-tuck business thrives in Hollywood, some stars are saying 'No more' and speaking out about the pressure to go under the knife. Patricia Heaton took her red carpet walk at the Emmy Awards on Sept. 19 seriously. After all, the 46-year-old star of "Everybody Loves Raymond" and mother of four had put a lot of effort into looking radiant. And so she did, in a dress by Elie Saab, jewelry by Tony Duquette--and a tight tummy by the plastic surgeon also responsible for her nicely lifted breasts, all of which she'll cheerfully discuss if you ask. From press interviews to red carpets to the lunch line for craft services, actresses are talking about plastic surgery with a passion usually reserved for discussions of tax cuts or, you know, what to wear to the Oscars. The entire nation is enthralled by cosmetic surgery--according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 8.3 million Americans had procedures in 2003, up 20 percent from the previous year and nearly 300 percent from six years earlier. Call it odd. Or a dream come true. Or go with the term such A-list actresses as Sarah Jessica Parker, Julianne Moore and Jamie Lee Curtis use: "an epidemic." A troubling one that many believe is sweeping the industry. INSET: NEVER TOO YOUNG FOR A LITTLE WORK?.

Wearing four dazzling outfits and winning five trophies, Grammy's golden girl hit all the right notes as she fulfilled a date with destiny at this year's Grammy Awards. A week after the Super Bowl's Nipplegate, another 'N Sync member was up to some high jinks at the Feb. 8 Grammys. "I'm crashing this place," admitted JC Chasez. But those stars who actually had tickets were on their best behavior: The White Stripes' Jack White passed out roses to female photographers, Outkast's Andre 3000 and Big Boi escorted their moms to their afterparty, and Gwen Stefani complimented her nervous 8-year-old niece Madeline on her "perfect" Grammy attire. Armani-clad Jennifer Love Hewitt was one celeb who dared to show skin. "I wasn't at the Super Bowl," she said. "I can get away with it!"

This article discusses the end of the television series "Friends" and the finale party that the cast had for it. As dinner parties go, the one held at a Beverly Hills mansion on Jan. 19 had a lot going for it: a warm host, great company and fine wine. Of course, it didn't hurt that the host was Jennifer Aniston, the setting was the $13.5 million home she shares with husband Brad Pitt, the guests were the cast and executive producers of Friends, and the wine--bottles of Haut-Brion--was vintage, bought during the show's first 1994-95 season. And with that, Friends' tightly knit friends--Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer--headed into their last week on the job, capped off with the Jan. 23 final taping on Stage 24 at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank. Sorry, Brad, but let's face it: You don't have to read the espresso grounds to know how it's going to end. Yet beyond the suspense of whether Ross will finally wind up with Rachel and whether Monica and Chandler will finally become parents--what do you think? There, after 10 seasons, dozens of hairstyles, gallons of lattes and a decade's worth of emotional ups and downs, the cast bid a teary farewell to Friends.

Two winners stayed home, another was booed, and a certain Iraqi dictator got cut from the act. If you missed all this, here's our Q&A guide to a most intriguing telecast of the Academy Awards. Why didn't Renée Zellweger sing the Chicago number? In the movie, Best Song nominee "I Move On" is performed by Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Yet Zellweger decided weeks before the ceremony that she wasn't going to perform on the telecast. During Nicole Kidman's emotional Best Actress acceptance speech, she tearfully praised her mother, Janelle, and daughter Isabella, 10, but left out her dad, Antony, who was sitting with the family. Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and Tatum O'Neal all were accompanied by their little girls, while Kidman, Adrien Brody and Queen Latifah brought their proud parents as dates.

In a town where understatement is a foreign language, dressing for the Academy Awards triggered a flurry of second thoughts. When the traditional long red-carpet stroll was canceled,Hollywood collected backup outfits in muted tones and shuddered over the prospect of pant suits. Most stars chose the luscious gowns and the luxurious gems, but when in doubt, they downsized. Presenter Diane Lane attends rehearsal at the Kodak Theatre. Just three hours until showtime, and Jennifer Lopez still hasn't decided what she'll wear. Stopping short of full-on glamor, Renee Zellweger wore just one vintage Neil Lane ruby ring with her embroidered silk chiffon Carolina Herrera dress.

This article presents images and descriptions of celebrities who have been loyal to one designer when choosing their dresses for the annual Academy Awards event. For the past four years Renée Zellweger has worn Carolina Herrera (usually strapless) to a string of big events. In return, Herrera shows the love by not designing for any other actress. When Annette Bening began her romance with Giorgio Armani in 1993, he was the go-to guy for Oscar night. Since then, as dozens of designers jostled their way onto the red carpet, she proved her loyalty, returning to him five times. They first teamed up in the late '90s, but Catherine Zeta-Jones and Donatella Versace bonded big-time when the actress needed a maternity gown in 2003. "Donatella was so amazing when I was pregnant," Zeta-Jones has said. "It's a hard thing to constantly measure your belly."

The article presents fashion trends among Hollywood celebrities. A favored hue of kings and queens, purple is adorning Hollywood royalty too--in sophisticated, premiere-worthy dresses (Kelly Rowland, Charlize Theron) as well as chic little separates (Julia Stiles). At the New York City Dogville premiere on Oct. 4, Chloe Sevigny shone in a sequined Lanvin sheath. Displaying decolletage but little jewelry, she punctuated the look with scarlet lips and Lanvin stilettos. Kirsten Dunst, Reese Witherspoon and other stars are snapping up Delux Beauty's ultra-portable Junior Duos. Celebrity style-setters Cameron Diaz, Lisa Kudrow, Lara Flynn Boyle and Britney Spears have all gotten into the spirit.

So much attention was focused on whether the Oscar ceremony would actually take place that some stars weren't sure what to do when it ended. As 1,650 guests streamed into the black-and-white ballroom, Josh Brolin tried in vain to coax girlfriend Diane Lane onto the dance floor ("I know you want to," he said, laughing). Meanwhile Jon Voight chased down Cuba Gooding Jr. to share a few stories about playing flag football with his neighbor Mark Wahlberg. Stars filled their plates at the In-N-Out Burger mobile kitchen, and Julianne Moore downed Heineken straight from the bottle.
