New York -- U.S. actress and singer Lindsay Lohan admits she is bisexual in an interview with Harper's Bazaar magazine.

Lohan reportedly has been dating disc jockey Samantha Ronson for several months, but she is coy about their relationship during interviews.

The New York Post said Lohan told Harper's Bazaar she is dating a "wonderful" woman, but doesn't confirm who it is.

"I think it's pretty obvious who I'm seeing," she is quoted as telling the magazine.

Asked if she considers herself bisexual, Lohan replied: "Maybe. Yeah."
However, the Post said Lohan was adamant she isn't a lesbian, insisting, "No," when asked.

Lohan, 22, is best known for her roles in the teen movies "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday." She recently had a recurring role on TV's "Ugly Betty."

Bakersfield, Calif. -- Country music icon Merle Haggard has returned home following lung cancer surgery last week at a hospital in Bakersfield, Calif., a publicist said Sunday.

Haggard -- whose hits include "Okie from Muskogee," "Mama Tried" and "Workin' Man Blues" -- had surgery Monday after it was discovered during an earlier biopsy that he had non-small cell lung cancer. That type of cancer has a better cure rate than the small (oat) cell cancer, Haggard's publicist said in a news release.

Surgeons were able to remove the affected tissue by removing the upper lobe of Haggard's right lung, the release said, and Haggard's recovery went well enough that he was discharged from the hospital Saturday night.

His publicist said when Haggard, 71, awoke after his surgery, he opened his eyes, yodeled and smiled.

Plano, Texas -- One of the stars of "Dallas" says he was surprised thousands of loyal fans gathered in Plano, Texas, to honor the old prime time soap opera's 30th anniversary.

Actor Ken Kerchival, who played Cliff Barnes on the long-running TV show, said he was shocked to see the continued support for "Dallas" more than 15 years after it last aired, The Dallas Morning News reported Sunday.

"I don't understand it," Kerchival said at Saturday's gathering at the Southfork Ranch where the series was once shot. "The staying power. Who knew?"

The anniversary event marked 30 years since the show first aired on CBS in 1978. It ran until 1991.

"Dallas" fan Sudesh Sharma said it was the series and its cast that made its city namesake a household name.

"It's them who made the city of Dallas famous around the world," Sharma told the Morning News of the show's cast, many of whom were in attendance.

Indianapolis -- Canadian songbird Celine Dion has rescheduled her concert Sunday at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis for late December, her tour promoter says.

AEG Live, which is promoting the singer's Taking Chances World Tour, said the concert postponement was necessary because a naso-pharyngeal infection has waylaid her, The Indianapolis Star reported. The recurrent illness has been intensified by inflamed vocal cords, the promoter added.

An AEG Live statement said Dion's doctor had recommended she completely avoid singing until she can fully recover.

Sunday's canceled show comes in the wake of similar cancellations in Chicago and Minneapolis.

The Star said the Indianapolis show has been rescheduled for Dec. 21 and all tickets for Sunday's canceled show will be honored at that event.

Chicago -- The Rev. Andrew Greeley, a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, was in critical condition after an accident in Rosemont, Ill., his niece says.

Laura Durkin said her 80-year-old uncle fractured his skull when he struck the ground when his coat got caught in a departing taxi at the village's Chicago Transit Authority station, the Sun-Times reported Sunday.

Durkin said the accident occurred after the priest exited the cab Friday, trapping part of his jacket in one of the vehicle's doors.

"Right now he's critical but stable, very stable," she said of his medical condition. "Doctors are hopeful and pleased with his progress from (Friday) to (Saturday)."

Greeley suffered bleeding on the brain and doctors were monitoring the columnist's cranial pressure, Greeley's friend Terry Goggin said.

Joliet, Ill. -- Jennifer Hudson's brother-in-law, suspected of killing three family members, appears before an Illinois parole board Monday to seek his freedom, officials say.

William Balfour, 27, the estranged husband of Hudson's sister, Julia, will appear before the Illinois Prisoner Review Board while the police investigation into the triple homicide in Chicago continues, the Chicago Tribune reported Sunday.

Hudson's 57-year-old mother, Darnell Donerson, was shot and killed in Chicago Oct. 24 along with the "Dreamgirls" star's 29-year-old brother, Jason.

The body of Hudson's 7-year-old nephew, Julian King, was found days later in a vehicle elsewhere in the city.

Balfour has been questioned in the three deaths but has not been charged. He was arrested Oct. 26 for allegedly violating his parole from a 1999 attempted murder conviction and has been held at the Stateville Correctional Center, the Tribune noted.
