Lindsay Lohan Arrested Again

Three weeks past her 21st birthday and two weeks out of rehab, Lindsay Lohan was arrested again early yesterday in Santa Monica, Calif., where the police charged her with suspicion of driving under the influence and cocaine possession, The Associated Press reported. Sgt. Shane Talbot said Ms. Lohan had a blood alcohol level of 0.12 to 0.13 percent when the police encountered her at about 1:30 a.m. The legal limit in California is 0.08 percent. Sergeant Talbot said that the police found cocaine in one of Ms. Lohan's pockets during a prebooking search. The police said they acted after receiving a call from the mother of a woman who had quit her job as Ms. Lohan's personal assistant only hours earlier. The caller had dialed 911 to report being chased by Ms. Lohan's sport utility vehicle but was apparently unaware of the vehicle's owner. The D.U.I. charges against Ms. Lohan are misdemeanors; cocaine possession and transportation of a narcotic are felonies, Sergeant Talbot said. Ms. Lohan was released on ,000 bail. Calls to her press representative and lawyer were not immediately returned. Last week, Ms. Lohan turned herself in to the police in Beverly Hills to face charges of driving under the influence in connection with a crash on Memorial Day weekend.

Tough Guy Faces

Stern Reality

After revelations that Bear Grylls the star of its survival show "Man vs. Wild," was staying in comfortable resorts and dining on prepared cuisine when the camera was turned off, the Discovery Channel says it will re-edit previous episodes and in the future inform viewers about any off-camera help. "We have learned that isolated elements of the show in some episodes were not natural to the environment and that the crew and host received some assistance while in the field mainly for health and safety concerns," said a statement from David C. Leavy, executive vice president of Discovery Communications. "Moving forward, the program will be completely transparent in its promotion and all elements of the filming will be explained to our viewers." The show follows Mr. Grylls as he is deposited in wilderness areas without much more than a flint, water bottle and knife; he must find his way out, sometimes eating the heads of live frogs or sleeping in freezing temperatures. But The Sunday Times of London reported this week that a consultant on the show, Mark Weinert, said that Mr. Grylls spent nights in a motel in Hawaii instead of on a deserted island, as depicted on the series, and that for an episode filmed in the Sierra Nevada, Mr. Grylls stayed at a resort. When interviewed in June by The New York Times, Mr. Grylls said the conditions did not change regardless of whether the cameras were on or off. Mr. Leavy said Mr. Grylls, who did not respond to e-mail requests for an interview, was on vacation. PATRICIA COHEN

Kelly Clarkson Makes Nice

Kelly Clarkson, who has weathered and fed reports of a feud with the chairman of her label, Clive Davis, over the direction of her new album, "My December" (RCA), has issued an apology, The Associated Press reported. Characterizing the accounts of her stance as "way out of proportion and out of context," Ms. Clarkson, 25, winner of the first season of "American Idol," said on her Web site (kellyclarksonweb.com): "Contrary to recent characterizations in the press, I'm well aware that Clive is one of the great record men of all time. He has been a key adviser and has been an important force in my success to date. He has also given me respect by releasing my new album when he was not obligated to do so." "My December," yet to produce a hit single, stands at No. 5 on the Billboard chart of the Top 200 albums. Ms. Clarkson added: "I really regret how this has turned out, and I apologize to those whom I have done disservice. I would never intentionally hurt anyone."

Fox Feasts on Quiz

And Cuisine

Jeff Foxworthy and Gordon Ramsay proved to be a potent combination for Fox on Monday. The hosts of "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" and "Hell's Kitchen," respectively, helped Fox earn its highest-rated Monday of the summer, leading the night easily over all. Nielsen estimated that the shows delivered the night's top ratings among adults 18 to 49, with the 8 p.m. game show, ordinarily broadcast on Thursdays, attracting 8.5 million total viewers. "Hell's Kitchen" followed at 9, drawing 8.8 million viewers. CBS finished second over all with repeats, leading the 10 p.m. hour with "CSI: Miami" (7.9 million). ABC, whose "C.M.A. Music Festival" broadcast drew 6.5 million viewers from 9 to 11, ended the night in third, just ahead of NBC. In the evening news race last week, NBC's "Nightly News With Brian Williams" posted a No. 1 finish for the first time in three months, taking advantage of the absence of ABC's Charles Gibson, who was off for the week. The NBC newscast averaged 7.5 million viewers, compared with 7.2 million for ABC's "World News with Charles Gibson." CBS's "Evening News With Katie Couric" remained third (5.7 million). BENJAMIN TOFF
