    William Shatner and Carol Channing are among the stars who have paid tribute to Mickey Rooney, who died on Sunday.

    The veteran actor, whose career spanned over nine decades, passed away aged 93 due to natural causes following a lengthy period of ill health, according to TMZ.


    Mickey's former co-star Carol said in a statement: "I loved working with Mickey on 'Sugar Babies'. He was very professional, his stories were priceless and I love them all ... each and every one. We laughed all the time (sic)."

    Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin took to Twitter after the news broke and wrote: "A lovely man, talented actor & friend, Mickey Rooney has passed at 93. He is with his dear friend Judy Garland putting on shows in heaven (sic)."

    Star Trek actor William remembered him by tweeting: "My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mickey Rooney. One of the greats!"

    Anna Marie 'Patty' Duke also wrote: "Rip Mickey Rooney. Having spent time in Mickey presence, I am grateful. He led a long and wild ride, bring joy to millions. He will b missed (sic)."

    Mickey was still working when he died and had been filming a new movie with former child star Margaret O'Brien.

    She said: "Mickey was the only one at the studio that was ever allowed to call me Maggie. He was undoubtedly the most talented actor that ever lived. There was nothing he couldn't do. Singing, dancing, performing ... all with great expertise. Mickey made it look so easy. I was currently doing a film with him, 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' - I simply can't believe it. He seemed fine through the filming and was as great as ever."

    Lindsay Lohan has admitted to drinking again.

    The 'Mean Girls' actress - who has been to rehab six times - was confronted by her life coach AJ Johnson on last night's (06.04.14) episode of 'Lindsay' after her mother Dina's claimed they had shared wine, and she then found a bottle in the troubled star's apartment.

    However, Lindsay, 27, was furious to be confronted on camera and initially denied relapsing before later admitting to "screwing up".

    The 'Machete' star - who fled to Los Angeles for a week and failed to contact AJ as planned - said: "I rushed into a relationship .. and I jumped right into a relationship where we weren't on the same page.

    "I wasn't considering the fact that the person I was seeing does drink and yeah. ... I had some wine.

    "It's OK to admit it. ... It's really scary. ... It took me a bit to realise, but then I thought, why am I holding this in?

    "Yeah, f**k it, I screwed up and that's OK."

    After missing a meeting with Columbia films' Devon Franklin which AJ had set up, the life coach was livid.

    She said: "I was expecting her to call, I didn't hear from her all week. I'm calling Lindsay a friend right now but I feel like there is no consideration."

    And when the actress refused to speak to AJ when she turned up to her apartment the next day, she decided it was time to "leave before things got ugly" as she "cannot help" Lindsay unless she is "open to receiving".

    Speaking after her departure, Lindsay said she felt "disrespected" over the confrontation.

    She said:"I felt like she disrespected me by asking things on camera that were a bit personal. When we had the moments alone to discuss it."
