She’ll probably claim she was set up, or they’re not her shoes, or Eleonore Lieven did it, or some such nonsense, but a lawsuit alleges Lindsay Lohan concocted a plan to defraud an L.A. boutique out of thousands of dollars in … shoes.

Church, which sells expensive clothes, jewelry, and accessories, claims the train wreck shopped at the store between November 2009-February 2010.

According to the suit, Lindsay Lohan racked up a bill of $17,060.83 and convinced the owners that her business manager would be paying the bill.

The business manager paid a grand total of $180.

The lawsuit, which will be filed in L.A. County Superior Court, alleges LiLo “had no intention of causing her business manager to pay the entire balance.”

Amusingly, and unfortunately for the plaintiffs, the suit claims the owners relied on her “well known status as a movie actress with substantial income.”

Prince William turned 28 years old earlier this month, but there’s really no need to get him a birthday present.

The guy is about to be $20 billion richer.

While it’s being overhyped by tabloids around the world, there’s little doubt that William will eventually marry long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton. Once this marriage takes place, sources say the couple will inherent more money than even Heather Mills would know what to do with.

British journalist Katie Nicholl lists the items coming the pair’s way as “crown jewels, property, the royal art collection, a palace, and a new Audi.”

She estimates the jewelry covering Kate on her wedding day alone to be valued at around $57 million.

Prince William and Kate Middleton will soon get married, inherit billions, rule England and… wait! Justin Bieber has a secret girlfriend?!?

Moreover, William will become the owner of Queen Elizabeth’s private art collection, which includes masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci and is worth at least $15 billion.

Yes, that’s billion. Somewhere, Khloe Kardashian is realizing she married the wrong man for money and attention.

It’s all a set up.

That’s the argument lawyers for Bruce Beresford-Redman plan to use if their client is ever extradited to Mexico on first-degree murder charges.

The former Survivor producer is the prime suspect in the April death of wife Monica, who was found in a sewer near the Cancun hotel where she and Bruce were vacationing, strangled to death.

Since then, Beresford-Redman has proclaimed his innocence, while the victim’s sisters have made no secret over their beliefs that Bruce is responsible for Monica’s death.

Now, following an unusual hiccup in the case that proves Mexican authorities confiscated Bruce’s cell phone last month and made thousands of dollars worth of calls on it, a source tells TMZ exactly what the suspect’s defense will be:

Beresford-Redman’s attorney will claim police are in need of a scapegoat because there were two deaths aside from Monica’s at the Cancun hotel in question, along with an alleged rape by an employee.

With tourism in danger, the lawyer will state, Bruce has been made the fall guy.

Meanwhile, a private funeral service is scheduled for Monica tomorrow. Bruce is not invited.

Is Jake Pavelka gay? Personally, we don’t see it, but there are now two separate reports of this surfacing, and crazier things have turned out to be true.

We’d rate this rumor as less believable than reports of Al Gore trying to sex up Molly Hagerty, but at the same time, we wouldn’t rule it out fully yet.

Despite his nice public persona, The Bachelor star weaves a web of lies, according to Vienna Girardi … and Tanya Douglas, who dated Jake from 2008-09.

“Jake did the same thing to me!” says Tanya, claiming Jake promised to marry her but never followed through on it. “He is a slippery, slimy con man.”

Here’s where the gay rumors come in. As with Vienna, Tanya Douglas says Jake withheld physical affection from Tanya … after sleeping with her first.

“He told me he had to abstain from sex for religious purposes until we were married,” she recalls. “It was weird, ’cause we had already been intimate!”

WEB OF LIES: Did Jake date another man, as Star claims?

Instead of cuddling Tanya, Jake “locked himself in the closet and pray in the dark,” she reveals. “I’m all for prayer, but in the closet?” In the closet … fitting.

Douglas says that the big phony didn’t even go to church regularly and “used religion as an excuse when it was convenient for him.” Vienna can attest.

The religious excuse was many he used for refusing sex with Vienna, or so she claims. Fellow Bachelor contestants think they know the real reason.

“I think he has gay potential and definitely gay tendencies,” a Bachelorette contender, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said of the hunky pilot.

Says Paul Rosseau of The Bachelorette: “He didn’t want to have sex with a beautiful girl and never really tried with the other girls … Nothing personal, Jake!”

Richard Mathey from the same season said, “I’m not sure if he is gay, but it seems he has no experience with the types of women that are on the show.”

Friends of Vienna’s also have conflicting theories about his sexuality. “Vienna told me, ‘I don’t think Jake is into girls,’” a friend of Vienna’s told Radar.

Tell us what you think: Jake Pavelka is …

As soon as Ali Fedotowsky declared in the opening moments that she has never felt better, you knew The Bachelorette was going to be good. But not this good.

Not even the spoilers we’ve known all season long could have prepared us for the unspeakable awesomeness that was the ABC show’s outing of Justin Rego.

According to reports, it wasn’t even faked. Rated R was legitimately busted, undone by his two-timing ways in Canada, a scandal dumped in producers’ laps.

It was classic.

Obviously, you can’t help but wonder what was re-edited, re-shot or flat-out contrived, but does it really matter? This is reality TV entertainment at its best.

The rest of the episode was pretty dull, but that can be forgiven, thanks to the opening sequences? THG breaks down all the action below in its +/- index …

RATED R FOR REJECTED: Ali sent Justin packing.

In Turkey, venerable Bachelorette host Chris Harrison is the bearer of bad news for Ali Fedotowsky. Plus 9, because as a pimp, you gotta protect your employees.

Ali’s friend and former co-star on Jake Pavelka’s season, Jessie Sudilis, NEEDS to speak to her now. Minus 3, though, ’cause it takes 50 rings for her to answer.

Somehow, Jessie knows Justin Rego’s girlfriend, Jessica Spillas, who just found out Justin was cheating on HER with Kimberly Kerekes. Plus 5. Nice, Rated R.

After a loooong phone call, we learn from Jessie that Justin only went on The Bachelorette for publicity. Minus 7 because we don’t buy Ali’s “stunned” face.

Plus 3 for the documentary-style filming, (relatively) unedited and without music, and Plus 6 more for Chris busting out an iPhone pic of Justin and Jessica.

Minus 1 for the fact that Jessie is gona be on Bachelor Pad, and Minus 5 for the time-honored, scripted line: “I know he’s not there for the right reasons.”

Ali calls Justin out publicly, asking if he misses his girlfriend in Canada. Plus 10. He reacts how any upstanding guy would … he makes a run for it! Plus 17.

TAKIN’ CARE OF BUSINESS: Host-pimp Chris makes the call.

It only gets better as Ali gives chase and Justin escapes, only to come limping back later. He tries to talk his way out of it, but he’s a really bad liar. Minus 9.

Justin hobbles off, presumably stranded in a Turkish bazaar. Plus 7. As he does so, messages he left Jessica while he was on the show are played. Plus 12.

Finally, we move on to Ty’s date with Ali in a Turkish bathhouse, one of many reasons this was the most homoerotic episode of The Bachelorette ever. Even.

Ty talks about his divorce, Tenley Molzahn style, and we know this is supposed to be a powerful moment and all, but Minus 4, because it just can’t compare.

On the group date, Kirk, Chris, Roberto and Craig wrestle random Turkish dudes, then each other, while covered in olive oil. See two sentences above. Plus 6.

Craig prevails, but Chris L. is the true winner with his good looks and hilarious comments. Will he get engaged to Ali (see The Bachelorette spoilers)? Plus 7.

On Craig’s date, he falls so hard into the friend zone, his fate is sealed. Minus 4. Contrast that with Frank’s date, in which they’re all over each other. Plus 4.

Oh, Plus 5 for Ali’s belly-dancing outfit. They had to throw us guys something.

TOTAL: +58. SEASON: +159.

Roses: Ty and Frank (earlier dates), Roberto, Chris and Kirk.

Out: Justin (abandoned in Istanbul) and Craig (friend zone).

Following what her family has described as an accidental overdose of prescription pills, former tennis star Jennifer Capriati is recovering in a Florida hospital.

That’s very good news.

Meanwhile, Capriati’s ex-boyfriend has spoken out on what he believes are the two reasons her life has taken a turn for the worse these days: the fact that Jennifer misses tennis; and that he has returned to the adult film business.

Indeed, Dale DaBone dated Capriati from 2003-2009. He told TMZ she often gets depressed during a Grand Slam tournament because she misses playing and blames injuries for her abbreviated career. (The opening week of Wimbledon wrapped up over the weekend.)

DaBone also says Capriati called him Sunday night, presumably after her overdose, and was “hysterical” over his decision to star in Batman XXX: A Porn Parody.

The flick would mark DaBone’s return to the world of adult entertainment, as he’s had intercourse with women in over 440 movies. There must be some joke about tennis and balls in there, but due to Capriati’s situation, it doesn’t feel appropriate to make.

Voldemort: Why do you live?
Harry Potter: Because I have something to live for.

Sorry, Eclipse, but you can’t hog all the attention these days.

While the third installment of The Twilight Saga has fans around the globe lining up for tickets days in advance, others are focusing on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Based on the final book in this beloved series, the film will be broken into two parts.

The first opens on November 19 and its first official trailer has been released. Check it out now:

In the movie, Lord Voldemort’s power is growing stronger. He’s exerting more control than ever before, and we all know the only person that can stop him: The Boy Who Lived.

While viewers will need to wait until July 2011 to get the conclusion to this tale, they can check out a few scenes from it below. We’re pulling for you, Harry!

A Los Angeles stripper claims the embattled Dr. Conrad Murray brought her home from Sam’s Hof Brau strip club weeks before Michael Jackson died last June.

Whether that’s true, or what bearing it had on Murray’s treatment of Jackson that fateful morning is completely unclear, but Joe Jackson sees a connection.

Michael’s crazy dad and his lawyer, Brian Oxman, will interview a stripper who not only claims Dr. Murray was at the strip club hours before Michael Jackson died, but that she was at Michael Jackson’s house after being invited by the doctor.

The stripper, who claims she was working at Sam’s Hof Brau on June 24, 2009, says that Dr. Conrad Murray was at the club drinking just before midnight.

Dr. Conrad Murray’s actions are under even more scrutiny.

Oxman, who is repping Joe in his wrongful death lawsuit against Murray, who faces involuntary manslaughter charges, has spoken with the stripper’s “rep.”

The stripper claims that weeks before Jackson died, Dr. Murray invited her to Jackson’s home in Holmby Hills. She claims she went late one night, after the club closed, and Murray’s patient, the King of Pop himself, was there, in a deep sleep.

In Oxman’s letter of intent to sue Dr. Murray for the wrongful death of Jackson, he accused the doctor of drinking at Sam’s Hof Brau before treating MJ.

Dr. Murray’s reps have strongly denied he was at the club on June 24, and even more adamantly, have said that the doctor does not drink … period.

The death of Michael Jackson took place June 25, 2009.

Maybe Britney Spears has been reading The Hollywood Gossip.

We’ve noted quite often that she eschews typical female supportive undergarments when seen out and about, but more importantly, that she looks miserable.

Well, she was all smiles yesterday with boyfriend Jason Trawick as they went out to Denny’s. Who wouldn’t be in a great mood after a Grand Slam though?

The pop icon had two other reasons to be joyous this week, too: Sean Preston and Jayden James gradated from pre-school, y’all! Kids. Growin’ up so fast.

A smiling Britney and the men in her life, present and past.

Helping celebrate their sons’ latest milestone, Britney Spears and her ex-husband, the great Kevin Federline, put on a united front at the graduation event.

Britney was joined by parents Jamie and Lynne Spears, as well as her former spouse, who arrived separately at the San Fernando Valley school Thursday.

To the surprise of no one, Sean Preston, 4, and Jayden James, 3, were later treated to McDonald’s Happy Meals after the ceremony, says a Spears source.

Britney “was very excited about her boys’ graduation and she dressed them up for the festive occasion,” the source says. All together now … AWWWWW!

The odd couple split in late 2006 after two years of marriage.
