Word on the street last week was that Lindsay Lohan would leave rehab today to live in "a secret location" with her mother and siblings, and instead of returning to her West Hollywood home, in hopes of staying out of the public eye. Well, now I've got news that Lohan's "classified" new crib is a rental in Venice, CA. The actress will be shelling out $7,100 per month for a Read more

While fresh-cut garden flowers will disappear after Indian Summer, there are other souvenirs of your beach season that can last all year round.
