Lohan ready to prove herself, gives up partying...

Lindsay Lohan says she has given up partying for good and is determined to prove herself as she attempts to rebuild her Hollywood career.

Lindsay is eager to make a comeback after her professional reputation nosedived following regular run-ins with the law and a series of stints in jail and rehab.

She is currently carrying out court-ordered community service stemming from a 2011 probation violation conviction, but she has been given a boost by landing a hosting job on "Saturday Night Live" and a role as Dame Elizabeth Taylor in a TV movie.

Lindsay has now revealed she wants to use her new jobs to rebuild her damaged reputation, telling TV host Matt Lauer, "I still need to go through the process of proving myself. You know, with SNL, being on time, being, you know, keeping my - can't say the word - but 'stuff' together."

The star also admits the partying lifestyle that landed her in so much trouble no longer has the same appeal.

She explains, "That's not my thing anymore. I went out, actually, a few months ago with a friend. And I was so uncomfortable. Not because I felt tempted, just because it was just the same thing that it always was before. And it just wasn't fun for me. I've become more of a homebody and I like that."

Jones of the Monkees Dead at Age 66...

Davy Jones, the lead singer of the Beatles-inspired made for-TV pop group the Monkees, died in Florida Wednesday. He was 66.

The performer's death was confirmed by the medical examiner in Martin County, Fla. No cause of death was immediately available.

The British-born Davy joined Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Michael Nesmith in the TV show The Monkees about a pop band by the same name which ran from 1966 to 1968.

After the show was canceled, the group continued in various incarnations for years. The Monkees had several hits including "I'm a Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville."

Snooki Is Pregnant: Report...

Though earlier this month she denied pregnancy rumors, reports say Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is, in fact, expecting her first child, sources reveal.

The Jersey Shore star is roughly three months pregnant, and the baby's father is her boyfriend, Jionni LaValle, according to reports, which also note that as recently as Feb. 2, the diminutive reality star went on ABC's Good Morning America and shot down stories about her being in a family way.

"I definitely do want kids, but I'm not pregnant," Snooki, 25, told Lara Spencer. "Being pregnant should be a real thing and a happy thing, and I'm not."

While the source suggests Snooki is trying to parlay the pregnancy into lucrative marketing deals, it remains unclear how or if her condition will factor into Jersey Shore or a recently announced spinoff show starring Snooki and Jenni "JWoww" Farley.

A rep for MTV tells says: "Nicole and Jenni began filming last week and moved into their new digs with animal print furniture in tow. Things are going great thus far," while Snooki's rep, when asked about reports said, "No comment."

Meat Loaf falls ill minutes before TV appearance...

Veteran rocker Meat Loaf sparked fresh fears for his health after he was taken ill on live TV on Wednesday.

The "Bat Out of Hell" hit maker was due to be interviewed on British talk show "Loose Women" and was seen on screen joking around with a banana on his head while waiting backstage.

But just minutes before he was due for his interview, the rocker fell ill and was unable to appear. No details of his condition were given.

Host Andrea McLean told viewers, "A little bit of sad news I'm afraid Meat Loaf has taken unwell so he's unable to join us for the end of the show... Meat Loaf, I hope you feel better soon."

In July last year, the rocker passed out during two concerts and later blamed both incidents on a lack of oxygen aggravating his asthma.

Cowell 'has split from fiancee'...

Simon Cowell has split from his on-and-off fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy, according to one of the music mogul's friends.

The X Factor judge proposed to the American Idol make-up artist in 2010, but split rumors have been rife since he vacationed with a group of women without her in January.

Simon recently insisted he was confused about the romance, saying, "I'm vulnerable. It's not on, it's not off, it's somewhere in the middle. I don't know if I will ever get married, but I am happy."

However, his pal Zeta Graff, who was with the star on the sun-soaked holiday, claims the engagement is off.

She reveals, "Mezhgan was lovely but it was all too much for Simon. As soon as he hears the words 'stability' and 'future,' I think it all became a bit too much.

"She was too needy, but he did try. Simon needs a woman who isn't defined by him, who has her own career or wealth.

"Someone who doesn�t depend on him. But he and Mezhgan are still friends."
