An arrest warrant has been issued for Lindsay Lohan and we’ve got the deets. The Beverly Hills Police Department released the following statement Friday:

“In response to media inquiries, [the] Beverly Hills Police Department is confirming a warrant was in fact issued today [March 13] for the arrest of Lindsay Lohan.”

“The ,000 warrant issued by the Beverly Hills Superior Court stems from a May 2007 arrest of Miss Lohan for DUI and hit-and-run. The circumstances leading to the issuance of the warrant by the court are not readily available at this time. It is our hope that Miss Lohan will surrender herself so that this matter will be resolved in a timely manner.”

In August 2007, the troubled singer and actress pleaded guilty to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine and pleaded no contest to driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher and reckless driving.

She served 84 minutes in jail in November 2007 (see mug shots below), was placed on three years probation and placed in an 18-month alcohol education program.

On a side note, her deadbeat father, Michael Lohan, says he’s worried for his daughter’s well-being, telling Us Weekly, “I’m always worried about Lindsay as long as she’s involved in relationships that are harmful to her.”

Lohan calls his daughter’s “toxic” girl-on-girl relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson a “powder keg… You never know when it’s going to blow up.”

If only he would blow up.

Mike had no comment on whether Lindsay Lohan was drinking or on drugs.

“I feel like when you’re around the right people, you do the right thing,” he said. “But when you’re around the wrong people, you do the wrong thing. She’ll deal with [the warrant] like she has to. She’s not going to ignore it. Mark my words, as long as Samantha Ronson is in Lindsay’s life, nothing is going to go right!”

Absolute shocker, we know.

For the second time in 10 months, rumors have surfaced that Jason Trawick, a longtime agent of Britney Spears, has been handling her assets in more ways than one, if you know what we’re talkin’ about. We’re talkin’ about having sex, people. Come on.

And for the second time in the last 10 months, said rumors have been nixed rapidly. Britney Spears is not seeing her longtime agent, her camp says.

“They are absolutely, 100 percent not dating,” a source close to Britney tells Us Weekly emphatically and exclusively. “He is her agent, and that is it.”

E! News reported Wednesday that Britney was secretly stepping out with Jason Trawick, but the insider says, “They have never gone out on a date.”

“He has been her agent for four years, and they are very close. He gets on with her family, but there is absolutely, categorically nothing romantic going on.”

“Jason was on the road with Britney for her tour, but that is what agents do - support their clients. Any stories of them being together are utterly made up.”

Too bad. From what we hear, he’d be a good influence on her, unlike some of the shady characters below. Can you even ID these guys? Click to enlarge pics of Britney Spears boyfriends (and husbands), past and present, real and rumored …

There is no Rihanna-Chris Brown duet being recorded by the stars despite previous reports that the pair had recorded a song together, a label source confirms.

“Contrary to published reports, Chris Brown and Rihanna did not record a new duet after the incident,” the source told People, alluding to Chris Brown’s alleged assault of his girlfriend before the Grammy Awards on February 8.

Conflicting reports about the couple’s supposed duet may have arisen because of a standard practice used during the development of new material. Last year, Brown and producer Polow da Don did write a song together, the source says.

“Around August or September of 2008, Chris and Rihanna’s vocals were recorded as the reference vocals for this demo only. [But] the song was never conceived or intended to be a duet between them, and was later recorded by other artists.”

Reference vocals are created to indicate how the writer intends a song to be sung on demo tracks sent out to other artists before the final recording process.

These two are making beautiful music together - it’s just not being recorded.

Turns out, the song was called “Bad Girl” - with lyrics focused on a woman who spends too much on designer goods – and was recorded by the someone else (The Pussycat Dolls) and is featured on the Confessions of a Shopaholic soundtrack.

However, the reference vocals for the song made by Rihanna also leaked to the Internet in January. More confusion may also have been caused by the fact that Brown and Rihanna did record a duet last year called “Stronger.”

This was meant for Rihanna’s album, but was never released. Brown, who faces assault and criminal threats charges, is said to have been in the recording studio since the attack, but has not worked with Rihanna on any songs.

They may not be recording, but they are definitely on the same track relationship wise. With Brown’s arraignment set for April 6, lawyers for both stars are attempting to get Rihanna off the hook as far as testifying against her man.

Days after Molly Malaney was spotted with her former fiance, Melissa Rycroft has a message for Jason Mesnick:

Two can play this dating game!

The scorned Bachelor contestant, and current Dancing with the Stars participant, showed up at a dance studio in West Hollywood earlier today with her insurance agent boyfriend, Ty.

Rycroft has referred to Ty as her “support system,” adding that the pair has been very good friends for awhile and the timing is finally right to see what else is there.

We still don’t know the full name of Melissa Rycroft’s boyfriend, but we do know this: he’s one lucky fella!
