UPDATE - LINDSAY LOHAN ACCIDENT VICTIM EXAGGERATED CLAIM: As we told you yesterday, LINDSAY LOHAN was arrested in New York City shortly after midnight Wednesday after she allegedly clipped some dude with her car, then took off. (PHOTO)

But now it doesn't sound like the incident is quite so cut and dried. Surveillance video seems to show that the victim is exaggerating his claims -- if not outright lying.

According to TMZ, video from the Dream Hotel not only shows that Lindsay was going really slow, but as she continues down the ramp, the tape shows the guy with a supposedly injured leg running after her.

And when police watched the tape, the gossip site says they couldn't even agree whether Linds actually hit the guy or not.

The man also claims Lindsay, quote, "smelled of alcohol real bad" but it doesn't appear that he ever confronts her. Police also don't believe she was drunk, although they admit they didn't give her a breathalyzer.

IN DENIAL: Lindsay's overworked publicist is calling the incident "much ado about nothing" and says he is "confident this matter will be cleared up in the coming weeks and the claims being made against Lindsay will be proven untrue."

Lindsay herself told the HollywoodLife website that the guy's claim is, quote, "absurd, completely unfair and unjust" and adds that the only reason he's saying what he's saying is "just because it's me."

BABY POOP - SHAKIRA IS PREGNANT: SHAKIRA hit up Facebook with big news to share: "Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby!"


'Gerard' is soccer stud GERARD PIQUÉ, whom she's been dating for over a year and a half. (He's 25, she's 35)

There's no word on how far along she is or a due date, or if and how it will affect her just-announced gig as CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S replacement on 'The Voice' next season.

CELEBRITY BIRTHDAYS FOR SEPTEMBER 20 – ‘AMERICAN IDOL’ PHIL PHILIPS AND MORE

ROMANCE REPORT - KRISTEN STEWART/ROBERT PATTINSON MEET: There were rumors on the internets yesterday that KRISTEN STEWART and ROBERT PATTINSON had met up in Los Angeles over the weekend.


Today we can breathlessly tell you it's true. 'People' magazine confirmed it, their sources say the pair has met on subsequent occasions since. But wait, there's more! Pattinson's pals “think they’ll be a couple again.”

If you recall, the 'Twilight' lovebirds have been estranged since it was revealed Stewart cheated on Pattinson with her married 'Snow White and the Huntsman' over the summer.

A more cynical person would wonder if we should perhaps time their reconciliation with the release of 'Breaking Dawn – Part 2'?

HEIDI KLUM MAY SUE OVER TOPLESS PICS: Over the weekend, HEIDI KLUM was photographed by some slimy paparazzo sans bikini top in the South of France, and she is none to happy about it.

In fact, she believes that, like KATE MIDDLETON, her privacy was invaded and is considering taking legal action. Except there's one problem: nobody's sure which magazine published the photos first.

If she can sort that out, she plans to follow the British royals' playbook to get the photos off newsstands and the Internet.

BLAKE LIVELY BUMP WATCH: Earlier this month BLAKE LIVELY secretly married RYAN REYNOLDS. Now The New York Post’s Page Six says she might have another secret -- she may be … wait for it … pregnant!!!

And what makes them think that? Well, for starters, sources tell them she's "glowing," but the real proof is that she’s been observed ... wait for it ... eating more than usual!

Blake's reps didn't respond to the gossip column’s e-mail inquires. They’re probably too busy rolling their eyes.
