"What the majority of [people] want to know is what I'm doing with my vagina, and I think that that's sick. What do you care who I'm dating? I can tell when somebody just wants to know about sex. And it makes me sick."

As for how Rodriguez imagines the members of the media, she doesn't hold back in her interpretation: "I picture them turning into pigs, slime coming out the side of their mouth, and I picture them jerking off." Jerking off? Well sure, don't we all from time to time? Even you, Michelle? As for slime coming out of our collective mouths, Rodriguez might want to consider the fact that any celebrity's career, especially one as slim as Michelle's, is often (dare we say) bolstered by mentions in the press. Would anyone out there have even thought about the Lost refugee since her character's fatal blow were it not for all those pictures of her sporting that fashionable ankle bracelet at last year's Marc Jacobs show (above)? Finally, Michelle voices her opinion that "If I wanna fuck a girl, a boy, a dog - that's my business. That's why there's bathroom doors." Yes, because the next time we overhear Rodriguez getting busy with a black lab in a club bathroom, we cross our fingers and hope to die that we will never, ever tell a soul. No big deal.

• MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ: 'MY SEXUALITY IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS' [Starpulse]

In today's episode: Jake Gyllenhaal, Reese Witherspoon, and Jamie Lee Curtis; Michael Douglas and Michelle Rodriguez; Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor; Mark McGrath; Dustin Hoffman; Billy Joel; Romany Malco; Joseph Gordon-Levitt; Dennis Rodman; Zachary Quinto; John Legend; Danny Masterson; Dina Meyer; Louie Anderson; Robert Wisdom; Jocelyn Wildenstein; Jim Jones; and Constantine Maroulis.

· March 12th, lunchtime. On my inaugural visit to Mozza on Highland and Melrose, I spotted a gaggle of celebs while stuffing my face with their signature pizza. Up from a table rose lanky Jamie Lee Curtis, wearing all blacks and greys and her signature spunky haircut. As my eyes traveled down to resume pizza-eating, I noticed two of the four sitting at the table that I presume she was sitting at - of all folks, Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon. JG was scruffy and terribly attractive, much more so in person than I expected, and stared at RW adoringly, snapping a few candids of her throughout the lunch with his digital camera. Cute couple.

· Michael Douglas inciting a near-riot among the 15 (I counted) paparazzi camped in front of Il Sole on Sat night (3/8). No sign of his 38-year old wife. Michelle Rodriguez was there too but I'm pretty sure we've all stopped caring about her.

· Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor dining at Katsuya in Studio City on Friday, 03/07. They were with another couple.

03/07 - Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray at Hotel Figueroa in downtown LA.

· 2/9- Billy Joel at the Village Idiot on Melrose... low key in requisite celeb-staple baseball hat squeezed into a booth with industry types. took a second to decide it was really him, until it dawned on my group that the Grammy's were indeed the next day.

· 2/27- Romany Malco of 40 Year-Old virgin and Weeds fame at the Grove. Had to do a quick double take considering the 'wow he's not much taller than me' surprise that 90% of privacywatches seem to recognize. Hugging a girlfriend type and quite handsome in a t-shirt and jeans.

· 3/8- Dustin Hoffman walking down the insufferably crowded 3rd St. Promenade in Santa Monica arm and arm with wife (I assume?). Seemed to be enjoying the beautiful evening despite the sea of humanity. Looks exactly like he does on film with a well-deserved and friendly 'it's good to be me!' grin.

· Joseph Gordon Levitt at the Rufus Wainwright show at USC on Wednesday (3/5). He was up in the balcony with us common folk, he looked like a cute hipster in glasses, striped sweater and an Obama 08 pin, he seemed to be really enjoying the show. Rufus was amazing as usual, he dedicated one song to Heath Ledger, which made me think of how adorable he and JGL were in 10 Things I Hate About You.

· march 1st... dennis rodman walking into koi wasted... a few drinks later, he got kicked out for shoving a kid at a birthday dinner one table over from him...

· Stardage 2008-03-08 Silver Lake Star System
spotted the rebooted Spock (and everyone's faves super villain, Seiler), Zachary Quinto, leaving the gayster hangout, Akbar. he was usual hot self, but was sporting the vulcan eyebrows. Also saw Jesse Tyler Ferguson of the me sitcom, The Class. i'm a sucker for cute redheads, what can i say

· 1ish on Saturday night. John Legend with a toffee-skinned model at the In and Out on Sunset and Orange. Took pictures and signed autographs for a mob of film school types.

· Danny Masterson at the Coffee Bean on Sunset Blvd, but not the one by the DGA building. Very nice to the staff and handed a drink off to a
mysterious individual in his Range Rover. (march 12)

· Last night (03/09) I was standing in line at the ticket window buying tix to Married Life at the Monica 4-Plex (Santa Monica) and caught my husband checking out a hottie in front of us. When she turned around after getting her tickets I realized it was none other than Starship Trooper, Dina Meyer! I was shocked and said "it's Dizzy Flores" a bit too loud. She gave me a smile and nod of acknowledgment (I guess she gets that a lot!) as she wandered into the theater with a female friend who rudely laughed in my face (and looked exactly like Camryn Manheim, but wasn't). She's not as tall as she looks on screen and was looking a bit glassy-eyed and pale but still very striking. And she was sporting long wavy dark hair too. No sign of those frizzy dizzy curls!

· On my way to the car rental desk at the Burbank Airport on 3/7 I notice a familiar face talking on his cellphone, dressed in clothes too heavy for the weather and looking rather slept in. I know he's a comedian but I can't come up with the name of this rather heavy man with a gap in his front teeth. Using those descriptors as my Google reference didn't help, but then I remembered Family Feud and I realized I had seen Louie Anderson. And sadly, he was my only celebrating sighting on my short visit.

· On Saturday, March 8, saw everyone's favorite cat woman, Jocelyn Wildenstein, at The Ivy. I guess what was so remarkable, well, other than THAT, was her ginormous boobs. I mean, the pics always just show her face. But, she was standing there, with what I assumed was her boyfriend, looking like she could release the hounds at any minute. It was a rather fascinating site as the tourists weren't quite sure what to make of this special occasion. The only thing that could possible top that was if Angelyne popped out of her pink Corvette and challenged JW to a cat fight. Sunday was much more tame. Had beers, and a pretty in depth political discussion, with Robert Wisdom at the Village Idiot. Who is that you ask? Major "Bunny" Colvin from The Wire. I guess what made it so remarkable was that the end of the series was about to air in a few hours and he was just throwing back a few pints on Melrose. I hate to say it, but a really nice guy and a lucid thinker.

· Rapper Jim Jones getting his swoll on at Equinox West Hollywood. Balllllllllllin'!

· Went bowling Friday afternoon (3/7) with the coworkers at Pinz in Studio City and spotted Constantine Maroulis bowling with a blonde chick, older guy with stringy hair, and a kid who looked to be in his early teens. Odd group. They were just starting to bowl as we walked out so the most I saw was his first shot down the alley... he was using a hot pink ball.

Unlike some of her cokepant-wearing, freeway-current-disregarding compatriots, whose debts to society were deemed sufficiently paid in under 90 minutes, Rodriguez will be serving all 180 days (that's six months!), more than enough time to compose several collections of verse, and mount a fairly ambitious, all-girl production of The Music Man, in a continuation of the important jailhouse arts initiative program she began during her last stint behind bars.

• Michelle Rodriguez Will Be Lost in Jail [tmz.com]

Prosecutors in Los Angeles want the former "Lost" star's probation on several charges including hit and run and driving under the influence, revoked for allegedly failing to fulfill her community service obligations.

In documents obtained by Access Hollywood, prosecutors allege that Rodriguez turned in papers claiming she performed only 16 days of community service out of 30 days.

Also, one of those days is being called into question — September 25, 2006...As a result of the conflicting reports, the prosecution claims all of Rodriguez's community service should be called into question.

Rodriguez's aversion to community service is well established, having passed on that option during her Hawaiian sentencing in favor of a five-day poetry and song retreat behind the walls of a Honolulu women's correctional facility. Should her distaste for highwayside refuse-spearing have led her to lie to the court, however, the consequences could be severe; so severe, in fact, that they could affect her access to the Avatar set, whereupon she'd quickly find herself replaced by a far more dependable synthespian with no bad habit of stepping behind the wheel of a CGI-spaceship after one too many virtua-cocktails.

• Michelle Rodriguez's Probation To Be Revoked? [accesshollywood.com]

Rodriguez plans to travel to a dozen countries, including China and Brazil, to "study people, social classes, history, culture" before finishing her designs, the actress said on the Sony channel's "It's midday in China" program aired across Latin America this week.

"The company that I want to start should be ethnic," Rodriguez, who grew up in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, said in Spanish. "I think there is a (growing) awareness and people are opening their eyes about the world and the environment." [...]

Meanwhile, Rodriguez plans to continue her acting career and is in talks with producers about appearing in a possible movie.

Ishkadada—a combination of the Sanskrit word for desire and the artistic movement, her website explains—could mark the start of a second career act for the troubled actress with the Big Lesbian Following. Before long, shoppers will be clamoring to get their hands on one of the looks inspired by Rodriguez's many travels, torn over which of the wife-beaters bearing the bedazzled Ishkedada mantra words of "ETHNIC," "WORLD," and "ENVIRONMENT" best suits their socially conscious personality.

• Latin American actress Michelle Rodriguez to launch clothing line [Int'l Herald Tribune via USA Today]

Whatever, I'm not insulted, I have a big lesbian following, and for whatever reasons they show me love I'm never going to shun, disrespect or neglect anybody who shows me genuine non-psychotic Love. [...]

If I were Ellen I may get away with: ' The I'm Gay' level of exposure, but I'm not a comedian, I like men; ( real One's Anyway) and I've only bin in this business for 7 years not 20. Years of recognition can give a person lots of leverage especially if you have many years of positive recognition under your belt. There are certain things that can close doors between a celebrity and certain audiences. Especially in a world where walls are constantly being put up by people seeking comfort and groups to belong to. There is so much out there, over-saturation of music, media, Agenda News, war, political drama, high school prom drama, image drama, religion drama, Bully drama. All this drama is caused by one thing, not understanding the true meaning of communication and the real power behind it. It's tough to learn, I'm working on it myself, but when people come out of nowhere and put words in my mouth or call me Gay, they should really think for one second How they could truly affect my life by doing such things. You don't know what producer, director, would be husband or future audience member may be influenced by these opinions and media content.

The troubled actress's stream-of-insanity ramblings at first left us at a complete loss as to her salient point: She's not a cuddly lesbian talk show host, but if she had bin one, she'd be more comfortable admitting it? After several readings, however, what began to emerge was the familiar concern voiced time and again by prominent gay actors worried openness will lead to typecasting. We'd therefore love to distill her message and pass it on: Michelle Rodriguez likes men, everybody. All kinds of men—from producers to directors, to directors she might consider marrying, to guys watching her movies who want to know they at least have an infinitesimal chance of getting in her pants. We look forward to seeing Rodriguez waving from the back seat of a convertible Cadillac as she grand marshals this year's Actors Who Conveniently Skirt and/or Flat-Out Deny the Issue in the Name of Advancing One's Career Pride parade.

I was on the phone with my agents back and forth for about a week straight on the subject of getting off the show due to the fact that I had to be injected with steroids every two weeks so I wouldn't look like a hive infested chipmunk every morning. I'm highly allergic to cockroach resin, dust mites, and mold, three elements that are prevalent in Oahu. [...]

We get stopped driving like 15 miles an hour down a 35 to 40 mph road. I cry, this sucks ass, I get over it take pictures with some cops at precinct on their camera phone, take a breathalyzer and go home a couple of hours later. I hire some lawyer from hawaii, loose my 28 acres of land and my home in jersey paying him off, just so I can get the same treatment I would have gotten from a public defender. I realized my payday in movies was way better than T.V. at that moment....

I do my time in L.A., i get out in a couple of hours because they only have room for real criminals like killers, drug dealers, and rapists. I pay fines, do my community service, and I get a sentence to wear a bracelet for three months. The bracelet is to detect liquor content in your sweat every half hour it takes a reading using some split fuel cell type technology. I go to get this thing put on and I realize this thing is like a freaking VCR, and why do they care If I drink, what am I gonna do, drink and walk over someone, I have no license...I think that level of vigilance is great for alcoholics, druggies, and heroin attics. Yet I felt for someone like me, who loves her life too much too f*ck it up for a sip of a beverage, this level of control just isn't necessary.

In a perfect world, this life/she-vampire/armpit-loving actress would be liberated from the Patrón-sniffing shackles of her totalitarian tormentors, leaving her free to frequent whichever establishments she chooses—Teddy's, for example, where she was spotted the same day she was released from jail—while demonstrating her formidable will power by abstaining from indulging in even a single "sip of a beverage."

• New Messages from Michelle: February 16, 2007 [Michelle-Rodriguez.com via LostBlog.net]

At first Loken, 27—who has a recurring role as lover of Shane (Katherine Moennig) on Showtime's The L Word this season—affirmed that she's in a relationship but wouldn't specify the name or gender. [...]

What about all the stuff that was said about you and Michelle on the shoot?
[Laughs, then takes a deep breath] There is the $64,000 question. Um...I don't even know how to answer that.

It seems like you both had a lot of fun partying.
Uh-huh. [Smiles, doesn't say anything]

OK, your silence says volumes. [Both laugh] Just don't look upstairs, OK?

Ooh, OK. You don't want me to print that?
You can print it. [Laughs again] The very hot housekeeper. No, just joking.

While Loken's response seems to all but suggest that she may have found in Rodriguez a skilled partner in tribadic crime, we'd caution that jumping to any sort of lifestyle conclusions based on the scant evidence provided would be entirely premature. After all, the "very hot housekeeper" lying naked and face down in the bedroom upstairs and moaning about a tequila-induced hangover might have been just that—a diligent cleaning lady taking a deserved break before attempting to attack the stubborn mildew stains in the adjoining master bathroom.

"Needless to say, our prosecutors are not happy about this," says a spokesperson for the L.A. City Attorney's office. "But the sheriffs have a policy to let some nonviolent offenders go early, in part due to jail overcrowding."

The night of her release, the actress was spotted at the Tropicana Bar at the Roosevelt Hotel, and on Monday night at the Hollywood club Shag.

"Michelle's happy with the way things turned out," her friend, designer Anand Jon, tells PEOPLE. "She knows this wasn't a literal get-out-of-jail-free card. Michelle's taken responsibility for the past and now she's ready to focus on her career."

We're disappointed for Rodriguez, who had barely enough time during her brief incarceration to corner the prettiest girl on the cellblock, take a deep whiff of her neck, and demand to know what the ingredients were of the "intoxicating" homemade perfume she was wearing. Still, we're thrilled Rodriguez hasn't yet abandoned us for France's shores (as she had sworn she would upon release), and has instead decided to submit herself to the self-policed rehabilitation of a life relegated to Hollywood's club scene, where the actress can ponder for a semi-eternity the damage her drinking has wrought by pounding Strawberry Caipirhinas until she passes out.

Lost actress Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 days in the Los Angeles County jail Monday for violating her probation. [...]

Rodriguez and her attorneys left without making comment, but in New York City late last week, the actress told PEOPLE, "I'm a gypsy. I can see beauty in a jail cell."

Unlike her fellow, non-gypsy inmates, who see only high cinderblock walls and a sniper guard tower, Rodriguez will enrich her stay by delighting daily in the beautiful little prison surprises just waiting to be discovered—everything from the simple ingenuity of a chicken bone shank to the glimmer of discovery in her co-inmates eyes as she introduces them to the fundamentals of prison yard pilates during exercise hour.

• Michelle Rodriguez Gets 60 Days in Jail [People.com]

Rodriguez says, "It was so cool. I love people, and it was a primal crew. The only thing that keeps them going is fighting for salt and making dice out of soap. [...]

"I represent the people, you know what I mean? If somebody picks on me, they'll get what's coming. I didn't have to handle myself is what I'm saying. I had love in there. People got where I'm coming from."

And Rodriguez spent her time behind bars creatively.

She adds, "Drawing pictures for everybody on their shirts. Writing poetry. And singing show tunes with the girls... I'm not surprised they kicked me out early."

Given the affection that she felt towards her brief incarceration, Rodriguez seems to have known exactly what she was doing when she opted for jail time over community service. During 240 hours of forced inner-city school tutoring, roadside trash pick-up, or the filming of anti drunk-driving PSAs, there would have been precious few opportunities for the baby-oil-slathered pillowfights with her "primal crew" she no doubt enjoyed just before nightly lockdown.

• Rodriguez: 'Jail Was Cool' [WENN/Hollywood.com via Velvet Hottub]

During the Dec. 1 arrest on Kalanianaole Highway, Rodriguez screamed and yelled at officers. She had to be carried into the Kailua police station because she sat down in the station garage and refused to stand up, according to a police source.

In court, Rodriguez apologized for her behavior but also blamed it on steroid injections she had been taking twice a month to treat allergies to "dust and cockroach resin" which began when she arrived in Hawaii last year. She said the effects of the steroids made her "manic," kept her up late at night and caused her to have "menstrual cycles three times" a month.

We had no idea there were allergy medications so powerful their side effects could cause Jet Ski-powered rides along the crimson tide. And yet despite her serious immune reaction to Hawaiian cockroach droppings, why are we left with the sense that the only insect responsible for Rodriguez's cantankerous behavior was the worm that slid down her throat after she polished off a 64-ounce bottle of premium tequila?

• 'Lost' actress starts 4-day jail term [Star Bulletin]

"Lost" actress Michelle Rodriguez pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a single count of driving under the influence, choosing to pay a $500 fine and spend five days in jail rather than do 240 hours of community service.

While some might look down upon Rodriguez's choice to pass up community service in favor of the quick, harsh justice of a 5-day prison stint, we would remind you that the dipsomaniacal road enthusiast has already served community service time for similar previous violations, most notably in a city morgue. She can hardly be blamed for forgoing 240 hours surrounded by a bunch of stiffs for the unlimited social opportunities five days in an all-woman penal institution might afford her.

• 'Lost' Actress Chooses Jail Over Service [Yahoo/AP]

"Lost" producer Touchstone Television has offered all original members of the large ensemble cast a substantial salary bump in exchange for an additional year to the actors' current contracts. The studio's pre-emptive offer would see the actors earn almost $80,000 each an episode next season, the show's third, up from a range of about $20,000-$40,000 for most cast members this season.

All original cast members, including Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Josh Holloway, Naveen Andrews, Dominic Monaghan, Terry O'Quinn, Jorge Garcia, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim and Harold Perrineau, have been offered the same deal and are expected to take it. Fox, who plays the pivotal role of Jack, is said to have earned an extra bonus of at least $250,000.

It's important to note that the raise applies only to the "original" cast members, a crucial piece of fine print initially overlooked by Michelle Rodriguez, who was overheard excitedly calculating how many Mai Tais $60,000 buys you ("And double that for happy hour!") before a stone-faced production accountant curtly explained the raise doesn't apply to regulars introduced in the second season.

Cynthia Watros is going to plead guilty in her D-U-I case. But, Michelle Rodriguez is going to trial. Both of these "Lost" actresses had been arrested within 15 minutes of each other in separate cars on December first.

Both had failed field sobriety tests. The lawyer for Watros says "she made a mistake. She's very remorseful and she wants to take responsibility for her actions." So, she'll plead guilty when she's in court on January 12th.

It's a different story for Watros' "Lost" co-star, Michelle Rodriguez. Her trial's set for March 30th in Hawaii. And, prosecutors in Los Angeles have filed a motion to revoke Rodriguez's probation because of her Hawaii drunk driving arrest.

We couldn't help but chuckle watching Rodriguez's character, Ana Lucia, being offered a mini-bottle of tequila at the end of the episode re-aired this week, only to have her turn it down for lack of mixers a vivid reminder that as compelling and realistic as Lost is, it is still a work of fanciful fiction.
