Lohan in custody for parole violation

LOS ANGELES

Lindsay Lohan sported a new accessory after a judge revoked her probation: handcuffs.

The actress was escorted from a hearing Wednesday in handcuffs after Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner revoked Lohan’s probation because she was ousted from a community service assignment at a women’s shelter.

Bail has been set at $100,000.

“There has been violation after violation,” Sautner said.

A city prosecutor said the actress should be jailed, but Sautner said Lohan was entitled to a probation-violation hearing.

The recommendation is the latest legal problem for the 25-year-old Lohan, who was given probation for a 2007 drunken-driving case and a misdemeanor theft case this year.

Lohan’s spokesman Steve Honig said Lohan immediately posted bail but declined comment on her court appearance. It was unclear if she had been released.

Sautner set a Nov. 2 hearing to decide whether Lohan warrants another return to jail, where she has been sent four previous times only to be released early due to jail overcrowding.

Wayne Newton turns home into attraction

LAS VEGAS

Las Vegas icon Wayne Newton said a yearlong effort to turn his sprawling Sin City estate, Casa de Shenandoah, into a tourist destination is almost complete.

A promotional tour is expected to begin next month and Newton told The Associated Press he hopes to offer the first public tours by February.

Visitors will be able to survey the singer’s collection of European antiques and celebrity mementos — including Nat King Cole’s watch, a Johnny Cash guitar and a champagne glass used by Frank Sinatra to toast Newton.

A museum, theater, visitors’ center and other attractions were being added to the property.

Bon Jovi’s charity restaurant opens

RED BANK, N.J.

Jon Bon Jovi’s “pay-what-you-can” charity restaurant in New Jersey is open for business.

The rocker said Wednesday that Soul Kitchen in Red Bank is designed to help the hungry without the stigma of a soup kitchen.

There are no prices on the menu. Diners pay whatever they’re able to. Those without money can still eat provided they’re willing to work in the restaurant or perform some community service.

Bon Jovi tells The Associated Press he’s heavily involved in the operation, including rolling up his sleeves behind the scenes to wash dishes. But the New Jersey native says he “can’t cook a lick.”

The restaurant operates out of a former auto-body shop near the Red Bank train station. The rocker’s charitable foundation is subsidizing it.

Yale library acquires ‘lost’ O’Neill script

HARTFORD, Conn.

A recently discovered manuscript by Eugene O’Neill that’s based on a suicide attempt by the playwright has been acquired by a library at Yale University.

All copies of the one-act play, “Exorcism,” were assumed to be lost until a researcher sifting through another writer’s papers discovered the manuscript earlier this year.

O’Neill, who died in 1953, is the only American playwright to receive the Nobel Prize for literature.

The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale purchased the script for an undisclosed amount. Curator Louise Bernard says the play set in 1912 intimates the overwhelming role that suicide would take in O’Neill’s personal life.

The play appears in the Oct. 17 issue of The New Yorker magazine and will be published next year by the Yale University Press.
