Lindsay Lohan is coming clean about her past cocaine use, claiming her estranged father Michael, a former drug addict, first got her curious about the drug.

“I was only aware of cocaine because of my dad,” she tells Britain’s The Sun in a new interview. “I was terrified of it. But I tried it because I was stubborn, stupid, and wanted to see what it was like.”

Police found Lohan, 23, to be in possession of cocaine in two separate DUI incidents in 2007. She went to rehab three times.

“It’s not something I ever want to do again,” she says of the drug. “It made me feel like s***. It became uninteresting to me. I’m hyper anyway and I have that kind of personality so I don’t need something like that.”

Do Lindsay, and these stars, look good with extensions?

In 2007, after her father began speaking negatively about her in the press, Lohan says she hit “rock bottom” and began abusing “alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances” to “mask” her problems.

She still cringes when looking back on one night when she took the sleeping aid Ambien and climbed into a bathtub.

“I’d run a bath and fallen asleep on the floor and the bath had overflowed,” she recalls. “When I woke up, I was so scared. I called my therapist and said, ‘Can I just go somewhere for a month?’” she says. “‘I’m around bad people and I need to take care of myself.’ I was terrified, so I put myself in.”

Adds the actress, “There was a point when I didn’t know how to say ‘No’ and I was trying to please everyone. “I was doing pop and making films. I was young and thought I could go out, have fun, then go on set and record. I ran myself down and I lost track of who I was.”

These days, she says she’s “in a place where I don’t need to use anything and I can feel emotions because I choose to.”

Though she says she is still allowed to “drink … I know my limits. There are certain situations where I have obligations. There’s no reason to (drink) because I don’t want to feel like s*** in the morning.”

Says Lohan, “I’ve made some dreadful mistakes but learned from them – that has probably saved my life.”

John Mayer is coming under fire for comments he makes about African American women in his controversial March Playboy interview.

Asked “Do black women throw themselves at you?” Mayer, 32, replies:

“I don’t think I open myself to it. My d*ck is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fu*kin’ David Duke c*ck. I’m going to start dating separately from my d*ck. …I always thought Holly Robinson Peete was gorgeous. Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s super hot and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, ‘Yeah, I sucked his d*ck. Whatever.’”

A rep for Washington, 33, had no comment.

Katheryn Russell-Brown, director of the Center for the Study of Race and Race Relations at the University of Florida and author of The Color of Crime, tells UsMagazine.com that Mayer seems to be saying “black women are not just not his type, they’re not in his class. They’re beneath him.”

Adds Laurie L. Mulvey, co-director of the Race Relations Project at Penn State University: “Both white people and people of color will be offended by Mayer commenting so flippantly about an issue that has caused so much pain in this culture, especially to black women.”

Mulvey tells Us that Mayer’s comments “create an atmosphere that is unfriendly to building trust and his words once again reinforce the idea that people of color are objects and white people are racist. This has particular impact when such words come from a celebrity who is admired by people of so many different backgrounds.”

Mulvey also says “choosing to invoke David Duke to explain these ethnocentric escapades flies in the face of Mayer’s self-congratulatory claim that he has a ‘Benetton heart.’”

Richard T. Ford, author of The Race Card: How Bluffing About Bias Makes Race Relations Worse, tells Us that Mayer is “being deliberately provocative and since he assures us that black people love him — thanks for letting us know — it’s supposed to be okay.”

The problem: Mayer’s “tongue-in-cheek racism satirizes racial stereotypes and but also sort of traffics in them,” Ford tells Us. “Sarah Silverman does post racist very adroitly — she’s both hilarious and thought provoking. Mayer does it badly — he’s offensive and tiresome.”

Adds Ford, “Tragically, this is what passes for edginess for many celebrities today — someone blurting out the most crude and insulting thing that comes to what we might charitably call his ‘mind.’ Mayer did say one smart in the interview: ‘I think the world would be better off if I stopped doing interviews.’ Amen.”

Lil’ Wayne Sentencing Delayed

Due To Dental Surgery

Rapper will undergo surgery before serving his prison term; sentencing pushed back to March 2nd.

On Monday, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office formally charged Dr. Conrad Murray with one count of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. Murray, 56, the former personal physician to Jackson and the last person to see Jackson alive, could serve up to four years in prison if convicted. Update: Murray entered at the L.A. courthouse (without handcuffs) around 1 p.m.. Members of the Jackson family — including mother Katherine and siblings La Toya, Jermaine and Jackie — also arrived to attend Murray’s arraignment.

In the charge filed at an L.A. Superior Court, the D.A. alleges that Murray “did unlawfully and without malice kill Michael Joseph Jackson…in the commission of an unlawful act not amounting to a felony and in the commission of a lawful act which might have produced death, in an unlawful manner and without due caution and circumspection.”

Jackson died in his L.A. mansion on June 25, 2009 at age 50; he suffered cardiac arrest as a result of lethal amounts of propofol administered by Murray. Propofol is a powerful anesthetic usually only used in hospitals and other medical settings. Murray admitted to giving Jackson (who suffered from insomnia) the potent drug, but has previously denied any culpability in the pop star’s death. “Please don’t worry,” he told supporters in a YouTube message this past August. “I will be fine. I have done all I could do. I told the truth.”

But Brian Oxman, a lawyer for the Jackson family, said on CBS’ The Early Show last Wednesday that Murray deserves a “second-degree murder charge…I think the family will be very, very upset.”

Although many have speculated that Murray had planned to surrender himself to authorities, his attorneys have not yet replied to the D.A.’s charges. His arraignment is scheduled for later Monday afternoon.
