Kim Kardashian Gets Pampered, Talks Stalker

Making time for some pampering, Kim Kardashian was spotted leaving a local nail salon in Los Angeles, California on Monday (August 2).

Dressed in a cute and casual get-up, the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” gal paid little attention to the media and was careful not to smudge her freshly painted nails as she made her way to her vehicle.

On a serious note, Ms Kardashian is taking extra measures to ensure she and footballer beau, Miles Austin, are safe from a man that has been stalking the reality TV star.

Dennis Shaun Bowman, who already has a restraining order on him from Kim, has been over-stepping his boundaries by sending Twitter messages to Miles and Kim’s sister, Khloe.

The beautiful brunette’s lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, told TMZ, “I will be speaking with law enforcement detectives [to] determine whether or not Mr. Bowman’s actions are a violation of the order in place restricting Mr. Bowman’s conduct toward Ms. Kardashian.”

Nicole Richie DUI Probation Terminated Early

Nicole Richie's probation was terminated this morning -- months before it was scheduled to end ... TMZ has learned.

Nicole was on probation for a DUI in 2006, where she was driving the wrong way on an L.A. freeway.

Nicole's lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, went to court this AM -- in the rain no less -- and presented the judge with proof Nicole had completed all the terms of probation, including a glowing report from the alcohol ed program in which she's been enrolled for the last 18 months.

Probation was scheduled to end in February, but since all the terms have been satisfied, the judge agreed to terminate it early.

Police: Lindsay Lohan Committed Battery

So much for Lindsay Lohan's clean start in 2011.

Police now assert the actress did, in fact, commit battery against a Betty Ford employee in a Dec. 12 scuffle – and plan to hand the case over to local prosecutors for review.

"The investigation determined Ms. Lohan violated several aspects of her probation, including the battery [charge]," the Palm Desert Police Department said in a press release Monday, adding that they plan to notify Lohan's probation officer.

Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, wasn't immediately available for comment. Lohan, 24, was released from rehab Monday and faces a routine Feb. 25 progress review hearing.

L.A. Superior Court Judge Elden Fox previously warned Lohan that any more slip-ups would be met with six months in jail. As of Tuesday, however, the court still hadn't received formal notice of the incident.

Betty Ford employee Dawn Holland was fired the same day she went public with claims that Lohan threw a phone at her and yanked another phone out of her hand, causing a sprain after a confrontation at the famed Rancho Mirage, Calif., clinic.

Holland stated that Lohan was acting "out of control" and had alcohol on her breath and refused to take a Breathalyzer test when she was caught coming home past curfew.

Police continued their investigation despite Holland's decision to recant her claims, with her attorney stating that Holland, a former addict herself, had no desire to see Lohan prosecuted.

Lindsay Lohan Snuck Out of Rehab for Alcohol

Lindsay Lohan's troubles at the Betty Ford Center are mounting. And she's not the only one there with problems.

An employee of the clinic went public Tuesday with claims the actress was "out of control" and had alcohol on her breath during a tussle between them on Dec. 12.

Dawn Holland, a chemical technician at the desert rehab facility, gave her account in a video interview with TMZ, which included a copy of her report on the incident.

Within minutes of the story posting, Holland was fired.

"Regrettably," the Betty Ford Center said in a statement, "one of our employees violated strict confidentiality guidelines and laws by publically identifying patients in a media interview and by disclosing a privileged document."

According to Holland, Lohan and two other patients had "snuck out" and "went drinking," but were caught by another technician when they were "trying to jump over the back wall" to the clinic house in which they were living.

Holland was then called to administer Breathalyzer tests to the three patients when trouble erupted between her and a foul-mouthed Lohan, she says. "She was very angry and out of control," says Holland.

Police were called, and while Holland was on the phone with authorities, Lohan "grabbed my wrist and snatched it down" to try to wrest away the phone, sending Holland to the emergency room with a sprained right arm and hand, she says. Holland says she's now on worker's compensation leave.

Throughout the night, Lohan refused to submit to a Breathalyzer test and had apparently been drinking. "She had alcohol on her breath," says Holland, who denies being the aggressor. "I did not touch the woman," she says. "I am not willing to risk my job over any patient."
