Lindsay Lohan is planning to undertake charity work in Guatemala, her mother has said.

Earlier this month, Lohan visited India to film a BBC documentary, but she was criticised after claiming on Twitter that she had helped to save 40 children.

Speaking to a US newspaper, Lohan’s mother Dina said that her daughter is a “changed woman” since her trip.

She added that Lindsay was “humbled and moved” by her work and continued: “Lindsay definitely wants to give more back.

“We are now planning a trip to help the children of Guatemala – which will be filmed by Oprah’s network.”

Kim Kardashian and her family are being auctioned off as boxing contestants to raise money for charity.

Kim, 29, recently revealed that she and her sister Khloe, brother Rob, step-dad Bruce and sister Kourtney’s boyfriend Scott are putting themselves up for aution and whoever wins gets to fight one of them in a charity boxing match.

She said on her blog: “This is probably one of the oddest but most fun things we’ve ever done for charity! On November 3 Khloe, Rob, Bruce, Scott and I are being auctioned off for charity!

“The winning bidder gets to step into the boxing ring and fight against one of us in the Kardashian Charity Knock Out at the Commerce Casino, presented by Chet Koerner’s TKO Boxing Promotions and PR Entertainment, Inc.

“I warn you, bidders, I have been practising my boxing moves! You may have seen me in Facebreaker! Hahaha!”

She added: “Proceeds will benefit our family’s favourite charity, The Dream Foundation, which makes dreams come true for terminally ill adults.”

Actress Evangeline Lilly says that she has Lost her dignity since being on the hit TV show

Evangeline Lilly is happy to squat and pee a stone’s throw away from her Lost co-star Matthew Fox, the actress says.

The 29-year-old makes her cheeky revelation saying that she loses her dignity ‘all the time, every day’.

Lilly says: “I’m the type of person who, when I’m in the jungle working with Matthew Fox, will just crouch beside a bush 3ft away and take a pee.”

The actress, who plays Kate Austen in the hit TV series, says she almost snubbed the role.

“I kind of didn’t want it,” she says.

“I actually said: ‘That seems like a really crap script’. Because we never saw the entire script, just little pieces.

“It was a plane crash on a desert island, I thought: ‘Oh give me a break – dramatic Gilligan’s Island’.

“Turns out it was f****** brilliant.”

And the actress says that, although it may grip fans, she’s not preoccupied with which hunky co-star her character ends up with on screen.

Either Jack, the doctor played by Fox, or Sawyer, the con man played by Josh Holloway, will do.

“I’m not invested one way or the other,” she says.

“Matt and Josh are like my brothers. I love them, but I could never go there. It’s like if you had two brothers and had to decide which of them you’d like to do.”
