Another chapter has been added to the Lohan family saga -- and this time, it may be another Lohan.

Michael Lohan, father of actress Lindsay, spoke Friday night with reporters gathered outside Hollywood's Ritual Supper Club for a press conference concerning a woman's recent claim that she had a daughter by him 13 years ago. Lohan was joined by his girlfriend Erin Muller at the event, which also served as a launch party for the online comedy series Wannabeme.tv, which co-stars Michael Lohan.

"If I wasn't Lindsay's dad or Michael Lohan, this wouldn't be getting any attention," he said.

Lohan said he once had a relationship with a woman named Kristi Horn and that he hadn't seen her in 12 years. He said the two were seeing each other while he was separated from Dina Lohan, and the woman was going through a divorce. Lohan said he learned of the claim after receiving letters from the woman and photos of the girl purported to be his daughter when he was incarcerated.

"While I was prison, I got a letter, and she said that she had a paternity test with her ex-husband," said Lohan, who has hired lawyers to look into the claim. "The results were negative with him, and she felt that I was the father. I said, 'Well, why did you wait so long to tell me?' She said there were a lot of things going on in her life."

VOGUE MODEL DIES

A European Vogue cover model fell to her death from her Manhattan apartment building Saturday in an apparent suicide, published reports said.

Ruslana Korshunova, 20, died around 2:30 p.m. in a fall from a building on Water Street, in Manhattan's Financial District, The New York Post, the Daily News and Newsday reported. The newspapers cited unnamed officials and police.

Police said the fall was under investigation. Korushnova's New York agency and a spokeswoman for medical examiners did not immediately return telephone messages.

ANOTHER WINEHOUSE SCUFFLE

Amy Winehouse was packing a punch at the Glastonbury music festival.

After taking the stage Saturday, the troubled singer climbed down into the pit and scuffled briefly with a reveler. It was unclear what sparked the altercation but witnesses say a fan tried to grab Winehouse.

She shocked fans last week by performing at a special birthday concert for Nelson Mandela.

STUDDARD MARRIED

Former "American Idol" Ruben Studdard has married Surata Zuri McCants at a church in a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama. But there was no singing during the 30-minute ceremony -- just an exchange of vows, prayers and music provided by a string ensemble. A reporter from The Birmingham News attended the ceremony.

TYLER TALKS OF REHAB

Steven Tyler sought the "safe environment" of rehab last month to recover from more than just surgery -- the Aerosmith frontman now says was fighting a dependency on pain and sleep medication.

"To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics," Tyler told The Associated Press on Friday. "You have to be on sleep aids at night. I don't know about Joe (Perry) but I was off and running and I didn't like the me that was me."

THURMAN TO WED

Uma Thurman, star of the "Kill Bill" thrillers and "My Super Ex-Girlfriend," will marry financier Arpad "Arki" Busson, according to a report Friday in the New York Daily News.
