Michael Lohan denied bail in Florida (AP)

TAMPA, Fla. – The estranged father of actress Lindsay Lohan has been denied bail in Florida.

Hillsborough County jail records show Michael Lohan was being held Saturday without bond on four charges.

He was arrested on domestic violence charges Tuesday. His bail was set at $5,000 and a judge warned him not to make any contact with his on-and-off girlfriend. Two days later, he was accused of violating the terms of his release by making a harassing phone call to her.

Police went to arrest him and he tried to avoid them by jumping off a third-floor balcony at a Tampa hotel. He was injured and had to be taken to the hospital.

He was released from the hospital Friday and put back in jail.

Actor Burt Reynolds faces foreclosure on Florida home (Reuters)

ORLANDO, Fla (Reuters) – Veteran actor Burt Reynolds is facing foreclosure on his longtime southeast Florida home, according to a lawsuit filed by a mortgage firm.

The 75-year-old is known for starring roles including in films "Deliverance" and "Smokey and the Bandit" from the 1970s. He also won a Golden Globe for his role as a porn king in the 1997 film "Boogie Nights".

The mortgage on the house in Hobe Sound that is facing foreclosure was taken out in 1994, a year after Reynolds' widely publicized divorce from actress Loni Anderson.

Reynolds, who had heart bypass surgery last year, stopped making the mortgage payments a year ago and owes Merrill Lynch Credit Corporation almost $1.2 million, according to the lawsuit filed August 9 in Martin County.

Merrill Lynch also named two other financial institutions that might have an interest in the property.

A local newspaper reported in 2009 that Reynolds placed the 12,500 square foot, waterfront house, which he called Valhalla, on the market for $8.9 million.

The lawsuit lists a Little Rock, Arkansas, address for Reynolds. Neither the actor nor his manager could be reached for comment.

Kathy Griffin Flaunts Svelte Figure in Florida

She may be known for keeping fans in stitches, but there's nothing funny about Kathy Griffin's svelte beach body.

In a skimpy camouflage-print bikini, the 50-year-old couldn't hide her figure from paparazzi as she relaxed in Palm Beach, Fla.

After taking a dip in the ocean, Griffin strolled along the shore as a mystery man waited patiently for her at the water's edge, holding the comedian's shoes. The pair held hands and smiled for photographers before returning to their hotel.
The Emmy award winner most recently appeared in 'Kathy Griffin: 50 & Not Pregnant,' a comedy special on Bravo.
