Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan took Linda Cooper-Smith’s help after realizing her collection of clothes, shoes and accessories had taken over her Hollywood home.

Lohan’s mother Dina is full of praise for Cooper-Smith for organising Lindsay’s home.

Imdb.com reports that the ‘Mean Girls’ star even agreed to open her doors to US TV news show ‘The Insider’ for the before-and-after expose. Lohan opened doors to rooms full of clothes and accessories, telling show co-host Niecy Nash there were areas she tried not to enter, adding ‘That’s how bad it is’.

Nash drafted in Cooper-Smith to tidy up and organise the actress’s home and the results were aired on TV in America Friday.

Dina appeared on the show to salute Nash and Cooper-Smith’s good work. ‘It’s absolutely amazing,’ she said.

Oscar and Grammy-winning musician and composer A.R. Rahman is set to embark on a highly anticipated US tour in June to wow South Asian audiences in nine cities.

Starting with a performance at the Nassau Coliseum in New York on June 11, the ‘A.R. Rahman Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour’ will travel to Atlantic City, New Jersey, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston.

Internationally produced by Deepak Gattani and Rapport Productions, three East Coast shows promise to reach over 35,000 South Asian concert-goers, known for their usually vociferous appetite for Bollywood entertainment.

‘The A.R. Rahman concerts are going to be a musical extravaganza, which concert-goers will remember in a long-time for its originality and all-encompassing entertainment value,’ said Shishir Misra of Rushhi Majik, the company promoting the East Coast concerts.

Rahman’s rise to prominence in the West came when he captured the world spotlight last year with his work on the film score for Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ winning a Golden Globe, two Academy Awards and most recently two Grammy’s.

On his US tour, Rahman will collaborate with creative director Amy Tinkham, known for creating live musical concerts for a variety of pop-music icons including Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and Mariah Carey.

‘A.R. Rahman Jai Ho Concert: The Journey Home World Tour’ will be a theatrical experience that will blend new technologies with powerful dance arrangements and acrobatics, the promoters said.

The concerts will keep in intact the heritage and traditions of India with a new modern presentation. The show promises to feature changing sets, large images on LED screens and a spectacular cast of musicians and dancers from across the globe.

‘Through the vast tapestry of music that is A.R. Rahman, he takes us on a virtual journey through beauty, culture, and spirituality,’ said Tinkhman. ‘This is uniquely Indian – both ancient and modern.’

The material spans throughout A.R.’s prolific career, including songs from ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ as well as landmark Indian films ‘Lagaan’, ‘Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’, ‘Dil Se’, ‘Rang De Basanti’ and ‘Roja’.

Supermodel Naomi Campbell has admitted she is highly embarrassed about her past mistakes and has vowed to learn from them.

‘Everyone knows what I’ve gone through. I’m human, I make mistakes, but I’ve come clean on them all. I don’t deny them. I’ve taken the heat and felt highly embarrassed by a lot of them,’ femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

‘I’m not proud of the things I’ve done and the incidents that have happened in my life, and I would never say I was. But I did something about it. I’m not above learning lessons.’

‘I’m not shirking blame for any of the things I did. I’m responsible for my actions. But I’m also responsible for making changes.’

Naomi is determined to learn from her ‘faults’ as she approaches her 40th birthday on May 22.

‘I’ve worked very hard on correcting my previous wrongdoings and I won’t be held hostage by my past behaviour. I always try to treat people with respect, she added.
