Lindsay Lohan in the 'Bloids, Travolta Weirder than Scientology, Star's Dismal View, and Knight Rider Readies for Theater

1. NYT decides to walk the line between tabloid journalism and their usual serious respected kind by covering the tabloid positioning of Lindsay Lohan. Considering the subject matter, and, uh, covering the accomplishments of said subject, one doesn't have to wonder for too long if the Times manages to escape the gossip pull despite their own positioning.

2. Poor Star Jones. Page 6 reports that this View host will be getting the boot, a condition that Rosie O'Donnell is rumored to have worked out in joining the show, which Barbara Walters was only too glad to grant. Though, Jones's reps deny this, reports of Gayle King, Oprah's best friend, joining the lineup can't possibly be calming them in the least.

3. Donning surprisingly ripped leggings, Lindsay Lohan hung outside of Hotel Gansevoort Sunday afternoon, kissing model James Burke, who is also the ex of her bff, Kate Moss. Moss and Burke were together in January but split due to Burke's having a live-in girlfriend at the time. Lohan is in town promoting Just My Luck and probably also partying. (TMZ)

4. Knight Rider series creator Glen A. Larson will be writing and executive producing the movie adaptation of the TV show for Weinstein Co. No comment from Larson if the original cast members--Hasselhoff and uncredited voice of KITT--will return at all in the adaptation. (Reuters)

5. When John Travolta showed up anywhere in the Tribeca Grand Hotel last week, the music had to be turned off upon his arrival, naturally weirding out guests. The Church of Scientology takes no credit for this though as its spokesman John Carmichael says, "There are no church prohibitions against any kind of music at all." (Daily News)
