Lindsay out-Donatellas Donatella

Lindsay Lohan

Eek! Is it Hallowe’en already?

Erstwhile party girl Lindsay Lohan bowled up to last night’s Whitney Museum of American Art Gala in New York, sporting a huge fur coat, orange skin and long blonde locks.

Yep, it seems she’s turning into Donatella Versace before our very eyes. Indeed, when Donatella herself turned up, she looked positively normal by comparison…

Donatella Versace

Other guests included our very own Alexa Chung, who looked super-glam in a blue minidress - although, that said, this probably wasn’t the best picture taken of her all night…

Alexa Chung

Why the scrunched-up eyes and puzzled expression, Alexa? Hmmm… I’m guessing this could have been the moment when Donatella Lindsay walked in…

Impressed with Lindsay’s latest look? Tell us here.

Lindsay’s a flop at Paris Fashion Week

Posted by Jane Murphy

Lindsay Lohan

Oh dear! Lindsay Lohan’s first fashion collection for French design house Emanuel Ungaro received a less-than-rapturous response following its unveiling at Paris Fashion Week this weekend.

Lindsay and head designer Estrella Archs (who may well be the tallest woman in the world, if our pic’s anything to go by) received lukewarm applause from the fashion fraternity after showcasing the range of minidresses, blazers, bra tops and… erm… heart-shaped nipple covers.

A few verdicts from the press? “Obvious to the point of banality” (The Independent); “the final gasp of celebrity madness” (New York Times); “nothing in the collection evidenced any real skill or discernible design work“ (Los Angeles Times).

Still, I’m sure the oh-so-sniffy fashion pack had already decided they weren’t going to like Li-Lo’s handiwork before they’d seen a single nipple cover.

“It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” poor Lindsay told reporters after the show. Oh well, back to the day job… (Now, what is that day job again?)

In other Paris Fashion Week news, Katy Perry managed to tear herself away from new boyfriend Russell Brand to hang out with her equally fashion-tastic mate Rihanna. Here they are in the front row at Karl Lagerfeld’s show…

Katy Perry, Rihanna

Oh, and here’s Rihanna again - this time outside Jean Paul Gaultier’s show…

Rihanna

Hmmm… that outfit looks ripe for an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, doesn’t it? Maybe Ri-Ri should invest in a heart-shaped nipple cover. Apparently, there’s a job-lot going spare in Paris this morning…

Is Lindsay the second coming of Marilyn?

Posted by Jane Murphy

 Lindsay Lohan

Totally lost interest in anything Lindsay Lohan ever says or does?

Well, surely you’ll change your mind now she’s gone peroxide blonde after a gruelling seven-hour session in the salon. No? Well, it was worth a try…

And if that‘s the case, you probably won’t be that intrigued to learn that Li-Lo’s reportedly got her eye on the Marilyn Monroe role in a remake of Some Like It Hot.

A mysterious “source“ tells OK! magazine: “Lindsay sees herself as the second coming of Marilyn - misunderstood, talented and in desperate need of an incredible film vehicle that will truly showcase her talents.”

Tsk - can’t she find an original script instead of remaking a movie that’s already perfect?

In other Li-Lo news, she seems to be back with on-off lover Samantha Ronson at the moment. Look - they even went on a romantic date to the 7-Eleven store in West Hollywood then sat outside on crates…

Love’s young dream, eh?

Watch Lindsay's spoof dating ad

Posted by Jane Murphy

Lindsay Lohan 

So Lindsay Lohan is gradually getting used to life without ex-partner Samantha Ronson following their break-up 10 days ago.

But is she down about it? Is she hell! Instead, our Li-Lo has made a spoof dating ad, in which she pokes fun at herself and her gossip-tastic reputation.

A sample quote? "We'll crash a few parties, a car or two, but at the end of the day, I promise you I never lose my Google hits. Just my underwear."

Oh, and just in case you were wondering, Lindsay isn't reading from a script: according to director Eric Appel, the under-fire star improvised during filming. "She threw in a bunch of fun, funny stuff," he revealed to Us magazine.

Is Lindsay heading for meltdown?

Posted by Jane Murphy

 Lindsay Lohan

Oh dear! It sounds like Lindsay Lohan isn't coping very well in the aftermath of her break-up with Samantha Ronson - and some of Hollywood's less charitable celebrity-watchers are gearing up for yet another high-profile meltdown.

Sam broke things off with Lindsay last Friday night - then hired five security guards to keep her former lover out of a party for her sister Charlotte at LA's swanky Chateau Marmont.

Poor Li-Lo has since given an emotional interview to Us magazine - in a series of telephone calls and emails, during which she was reportedly agitated, tearful and baffled.

"I'm not a bad person and this is what happens," she moaned. "I was raised to treat people well, and I'm so tired of this drama."

The erstwhile actress also says she's received little support from other celebrities. According to Lindsay, Nicole Richie walked past her at the hotel and said, "Uck!" while former Sopranos star Drea De Matteo said, "Come at me, bitch." (No, I'm not really sure what that's supposed to mean either.)

"I felt like I was in Mean Girls, but worse," Lindsay revealed.

Hmmm... I know the whole thing's very soppy and childish, but I do feel a bit sorry for Lindsay. Let's hope she can disappoint the gossips by bouncing back from her break-up very soon.

Any thoughts?

Lindsay denies break-up rumours

Posted by Jane Murphy

Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan

It's very confusing. Love's young dream Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have been dogged by break-up rumours pretty much since day one of their relationship.

And I've lost count of the number of times I've read about them having a "tired and emotional" disagreement in the middle of one of Sam's DJ sets.

The latest fallout came on New Year's Eve, with Lindsay reportedly screaming at Sam: "When I storm off, you're supposed to follow me!" Naturally, this was swiftly followed by yet another break-up rumour - this time, courtesy of US gossip show Access Hollywood.

But - hang on! - all is not lost. Erstwhile actress Lindsay immediately took to her blog to put the record straight.

That message in full: "Little piece of TRUE information: we did NOT break up! Access Hollywood, Extra, ET, every tabloid, Page Six AND every GOSSIP website... get your stories straight please. It's really annoying to have all of your friends emailing you saying, I saw, I read, etc... NOT TRUE."

Phew! So Li-Lo and Sam live to fight another day - but how long will it be until the next break-up rumour, d'you reckon?

Lindsay gets flour-bombed!

Posted by Jane Murphy

Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan

Ooh la la! Ardent fur-wearer Lindsay Lohan was pelted with a flour bomb by an animal rights protestor in Paris on Saturday.

The incident took place when Li-Lo turned up to support her girlfriend Samantha Ronson during her DJ set at the VIP Room nightclub.

But ever the professional, the erstwhile actress merely dusted off her blue sequined dress and - yes! - fur stole before posing for pics on the red carpet.

Mind you, Lindsay may not have been fazed by the attack - but Samantha's livid! And she's vented her anger on her blog.

In a nutshell? Sam doesn't wear fur herself - but she thinks animal rights protestors should show a little more respect to those who do. "There are too many people who put another species before their fellow man, and that's sad," she writes.

Somewhat bizarrely, Sam also argues that animal rights protestors should "appreciate" celebrities such as Lindsay because they provide a target. "If it weren't for them, who would get PETA press??????" she asks - clearly having got her little finger stuck on her laptop's question-mark key due to the emotion of it all.

Oh, and Sam reckons the flour thrown at Lindsay could have been put to better use feeding hungry families.

So do you agree with Sam? Or do you think fur-wearing stars deserve to come under attack? Tell us here.

Oh Mr Paparazzo, you are really spoiling us today!

Not content with snapping love's young dream Jodie Marsh and her partner Nina tottering out of Chinawhite together, our camera-wielding friends also managed to catch Lindsay Lohan and her partner Samantha Ronson stumbling out of the same venue...

Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson

Yes, that's right: Jodie and Lindsay were in the same place at the same time. What are the chances of that happening, eh?

But this wasn't just a girls' night out. You'll never guess who else was there. Oh, OK then - maybe you will. Yep, it's Calum Best...

Calum Best

Now, as you'll recall, Calum had a tempestuous on-off relationship with Lindsay before her most recent stint in rehab. Oh, and I seem to recall he once bonked Jodie, too.

Hmmm... is anyone else beginning to see a pattern developing here?

Could Madonna be Lindsay Lohan's secret long-lost mother?

OK, maybe not - but they did look scarily similar at last night's New York screening of Madonna's film Filth & Wisdom. I wonder if they rang one another up and swapped notes on hairstyles and outfits earlier in the day.

Still, if you're having trouble telling them apart, here's a handy hint: Madonna's the one wearing shoes with heels made out of guns...

Poor Lindsay Lohan. The erstwhile actress turned up to Diesel's 30th birthday bash in New York at the weekend - even though she'd clearly run out of fake tan before she'd managed to do her ankles and feet.

Or maybe she left her socks on when she was sunbathing.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Lindsay Lohan

Here’s little ray of sunshine Lindsay Lohan stocking up on essentials on the way to LAX airport with partner Samantha Ronson yesterday afternoon.

Those purchases in full? A bottle of Pepsi, a packet of tortilla chips, an unidentifiable object that could either be chewing gum or chocolate and 400 (yes, 400!) cigarettes.

Now, far be it from me to pass judgement on people’s purchases - but seeing as Li-Lo has reportedly beaten all her other “demons” (as they’re called in California), surely she should try to quit smoking, too?

Cigarettes are expensive. They’re smelly. And, oh yeah, they kill you. Don’t do it, Li-Lo!

Lindsay lays into Sarah

Posted by Jane Murphy

Pink, Sarah Palin, Lindsay Lohan

Oh dear! It seems wannabe US vice-president Sarah Palin still isn't winning any fans in Hollywood.

Her latest critic? It's reformed party girl, actress and political commentator Lindsay Lohan, who lays into Ms P on her blog.

"I really can't bite my tongue any more when it comes to Sarah Palin," Li-Lo writes. "I find it quite interesting that a woman who now is running to be second in command of the US, only four years ago had aspirations to be a television anchor, which is probably all she is qualified to be."

Anything else? "Oh and hint hint, Pali pal: don't pose for any more tabloid covers," Lindsay advises. "You're not a celebrity: you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!" Got that? COUNTRY!

Meanwhile, outspoken singer Pink has a few words to say about Ms Palin, too. Ready? "This woman hates women. She is not a feminist. She is not the woman that's going to come behind Hillary Clinton and do anything that Hillary would've been capable of... The woman terrifies me."

And finally, here's 30 Rock's Tina Fey and fellow comedian Amy Poehler spoofing Sarah and Hillary on this weekend's Saturday Night Live:


Terrifying!

Britney Spears

Congratulations to born-again pop princess Britney Spears who - unlike last year - managed to walk away from this year's MTV Video Music Awards with her pride intact and an impressive tally of three gongs. Welcome back, Britters!

Despite all those rumours, Ms Spears didn't sing on stage: she left those duties to her one-time rival Christina Aguilera who showcased her new single in her first public performance since giving birth to baby Max in January...

Christina Aguilera

Look - Christina even got a new fringe for the occasion! Mind you, it still doesn't quite distract from those Mitchell brothers she keeps hidden down the front of her frock, does it?

Also sporting worthy-of-note hair was Lindsay Lohan, who opted for a '70s-style flick-and-waves when she turned up to present an award...

Lindsay Lohan

Latest Li-Lo gossip? She's just turned down Playboy and she wants a baby with partner Samantha Ronson, apparently. And so the world turns...

Meanwhile, Rihanna appeared to be channelling Dickie Davies with her... erm... interesting hairdo (if you don't know what I'm talking about, ask your mum)...

Rihanna

And Katy "I Kissed A Girl" Perry sported a tight satin vest and her mum's control pants - with Disney superstar Miley Cyrus hanging off her arm...

Now, didn't they all look gorgeous?

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson

Everyone's favourite newly reformed party girl Lindsay Lohan turned 22 yesterday. Blimey - it seems only yesterday she was celebrating turning 21. Doesn't time fly when you're in and out of rehab?

To mark the occasion, Li-Lo went for lunch at La Scala in Beverly Hills, along with best friend/rumoured lover Samantha Ronson and a few close pals.

Mind you, from our pic, it looks like Li-Lo wasn't too keen on allowing the paparazzi to join in her fun. And frankly, if I was a snapper, I wouldn't fancy my chances in a stand-off with scary-looking Samantha... Would you?

Lily Allen and Lindsay Lohan

Remember how Lily Allen and Lindsay Lohan hooked up for dinner in Los Angeles last month?

Well, now it turns out they could have been discussing business - because rumour has it Lindsay's already recorded a vocal for a track on Lily's long-awaited second album. Apparently, it's an electro-pop number called 'Wherever You Go'. Hmmm...

Could this be the start of something big - or should Lily steer clear of the LA party set and enlist the help of "proper" musicians instead? Any thoughts?

Lily Allen

What's Lily Allen looking so happy about? It could be because everyone's favourite celebrity pink-head has just been allowed back into the US to finish her new album, having been denied access six months ago.

And last night she went out for dinner at swanky LA eaterie Il Sole with "just good friends" Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan. The connection? Well, Lily's mates with Sam's brother Mark Ronson, isn't she? See how it all falls neatly into place?

Anyway, so far no willing eavesdroppers have come forward to tell us what the trio talked about the dinner table - so we'll just have to take a guess at their conversational topics. Amy Winehouse? Dealing with the paparazzi? The recent shock resignation of the entire South Korean cabinet?

Has anyone got any better ideas?

Posted by Jane Murphy

Lindsay Lohan

First the good news for Lindsay Lohan... Her much-maligned mum Dina has just won a parenting award. Mrs L was handed a gong for being one of the Top 20 Moms on New York's Long Island.

The organisation that gave it to her? The Mingling Moms of Long Island. And just in case you made the same mistake I did, that word is mingling - with an "l" in the middle.

But now the bad news... Lindsay's dad Michael has taken this opportunity to declare war on his ex-wife once again. "Are you kidding?" he ranted. "Top celebrity mom? Look at her off-screen antics, her lack of morals and how she conducts herself. I guess they forgot to mention how this top super-mom leaves her kids alone at night and even parties in their presence. Just wait until we go back to court."

Eek - isn't it about time these two gave it a rest?

This picture of Lindsay Lohan leaving her hair salon has caused great excitement among Tinseltown fashionistas. The reason? Well, her hair's looking a bit wavy - so could it really be time for the perm to make a triumphant comeback?

In other Li-Lo news, the erstwhile actress has apparently denied reports she's off to be a missionary in India. Erm... I hadn't actually heard that story until she denied it - but I'm not sure I would have believed it anyway.

After all, India's a long, long way from her Beverly Hills hairstylist...

Lohan and Ledger?

Posted by Will Parkhouse

Lindsay Lohan and the Hulk

After splitting from snowboarder Riley Giles the other day (his alleged crimes: pouting and penny-pinching), Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been seeing Heath Ledger. That’s what Aussie magazine New Weekly are saying, anyway.

"Lindsay and Heath hit it off straight away," a source told the mag, claiming the pair met at New York's Beatrice Inn over Thanksgiving weekend. “When she left the club she started texting him straight away and they hooked up a few times while she was still in New York."

By the way, that butch green superhero in the picture above isn't Heath. That’s Lindsay desperately trying to earn some cash by filming a commercial with the Incredible Hulk. Why is she looking so miserable? Getting paid to hang out with The Hulk and Batman sounds like a dream day out to me.

The world's dumbest star?

Posted by Jane Murphy

Lindsay Lohan

Poor Lindsay Lohan. She was just getting over her recent break-up from snowboarder Riley Giles - and now she has to deal with the gross indignity of being named the world's dumbest celebrity.

The just-published New York Daily News list rates stars' dumbness, based on their IQs, poor fashion choices and general bad judgement. And Li-Lo hit the top spot for her "poor movie choices, delinquent behaviour and bad taste in men".

In case you were wondering, US reality star Kim Kardashian took second place, while aptly named actor Spencer Pratt came in third. Erstwhile pop princess Britney Spears managed a not-too-shabby 14th.

Still, seeing as Lindsay and co seem to spend most of their time hanging out at Hollywood parties and signing megabucks deals, they can't be that dumb, can they?

Lindsay_23oct07_wen_250

Phew! When I first saw this hot-off-the-press paparazzi pic of Lindsay Lohan stepping out at night sporting a little black dress, I thought she'd hit the Los Angeles party scene again. But it turns out the clue's in her beautifully coiffed blonde mane: Li-Lo was simply leaving a hair salon before heading home for another cosy night in with new man, snowboarder Ryley Giles.

It's now been a fortnight since Lindsay checked out of rehab - and more than week since she reported back for work (she's an actress, remember?) in Hollywood. But will she be able to stay out of trouble - or will Tinseltown's temptations simply prove too much for her? Post your comment below and let us know what you think...
