Rick Ross Survives An Attack, Jennifer Lawrence Wins But Slips Up, Lindsay Lohan To Learn Her Fate In LA

You Da Boss: Rapper Rick Ross had a lucky escape this week, somehow avoiding a hail of gunfire aimed at his Rolls Royce in Miami. The Diced Pineapples hit-maker ploughed into a nearby apartment block but emerged relatively unscathed. Now who would want to kill Rick Ross?

Silver Lining? Jennifer Lawrence's Christian Dior dress let her down badly at the SAG Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday evening. The Silver Linings Playbook star made her way to the stage to collect the award for Best Actress, only to see her gown literally split in the middle! What caused the wardrobe malfunction? 

Oh Lindsay: Not again! Lindsay Lohan found herself back in court this week to face charges of lying to police and reckless driving. Initially, the actress had claimed she was too ill to fly to Los Angeles for the hearing, but wait, wasn't that Lindsay shopping in New York?

Ben Affleck

Hats Off To Argo: Ben Affleck is really giving two fingers to the Academy, isn't he? Ok so maybe not deliberately, but the Hollywood star has won just about every award going since being snubbed for a directorial award by the Academy. His movie Argo is now expected to win Best Picture at the Oscars.

Welcome Back, Babs: Great news this week for Barbra Streisand fans, with the legendary diva confirmed to perform at the Oscars on February 24, 2013. Streisand joins Adele on the bill for the movie awards, some 36 years after her last visit!

Toilet Humor: Ok so we shouldn't laugh, but we couldn't help but raise a smile at one of the most ridiculous arrests of the year, involving Dazed & Confused star Jason London. The actor was busted for violence at an Arizona bar and got - er, caught short - on his way to the police station!

The XX

Here Come The Brits! The line-up for Coachella 2013 has finally been announced, with a very British feel to proceedings. Blur, The Stone Roses and The XX are all on the bill, with the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Vampire Weekend and The Wu Tang Clan also set for the Californian festival. Who will you see?

Here Come The Boys! Great news for fans of HBO comedy Entourage this week, with Warner Bros finally giving a movie adaptation the green light! The feature film will be directed by Entourage series creator and writer Doug Ellin and should see Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Kevin Dillon, Jerry Ferrara and Jeremy Piven reprising their roles.

Have A Go Hero: If you're planning on robbing a celebrity's house in the near future, just make sure it's not the Los Angeles home of Taye Diggs! The Private Practise star arrived home from the SAG awards to find a burglar rooting through his garage! The no-nonsense television star chased the guy, held him down, and waited for the police to arrive. Hero!

Video Of The Week: This week's hottest footage comes from the courthouse in Los Angeles, where Lindsay Lohan FINALLY arrived with her mother Dina and lawyer Mark Heller. The actress wore a sleek black dress and large sunglasses - check it out!
