Lindsay Lohan Hampton Hook Up

Lindsay Lohan spent a Hamptons weekend rolling around with Butter co-owner (do their numbers ever slow?) Richie Akiva, who used to date Carmen Kass and was tied to Mary-Kate Olsen. If they weren't blowing each other, what else could they be blowing?

• A "well-dressed woman in a black Town Car" has been seen around town buying up all copies of the latest issue of Vanity Fair, but with Jennifer Aniston's interview and photos already leaked, rumor mongers are pointing to the likelihood of interested society gatekeepers preventing Dominick Dunne's piece of Lily Safra reaching their inner circle.

• Us Weekly's west coast editor Ken Baker is taking pot shots at Star's Bonnie Fuller and embroiled People's Todd Gold in his new novel, Hollywood Hussein.

• Scarlett Johansson ain't having any of The Island producers Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald's blame game. She's firing back at the producing couple, who spent the weeks leading up to the film's release on holiday in Italy.

• Usher is looking to follow in the footsteps of Jay-Z and Sean Combs, enlisting his industry know-how for some boardroom game play. He's approached Warner Music's Steve Stoute with his plans to to play a "more executive role" rather than continuing to pump out hit records. Though a Jossip spy spotted him dining very alone at Bed this weekend, so perhaps nobody's taken him up on a meeting just yet.

• What better locale to gab on the tony Plum TV than aboard your yacht? That's how Conde Nast's Steve Florio did it while telling the network's Jonathan Tisch how he cracked down on corporate dalliances.

Lindsay Lohan's drug vow

Lindsay Lohan claims she would never experiment with drugs - after watching her father self-destruct through substance abuse.

The actress's dad, Michael Lohan, is currently serving a four-year prison sentence for a number of offences, including assault and drink-driving, and has battled for years against alcohol and cocaine addictions.

Lindsay, 19, claims watching her father's downward spiral has left her completely uninterested in drugs because she has witnessed first-hand the misery they cause.

She confessed: "I've never tried cocaine and I never would. I've seen my father, I've seen how it messes with families and screws up your life."

Publicists Lock Down Lindsay Lohan

Are we entering a new era of publicist lockdowns? Today’s Page Six describes how Angelina Jolie’s lawyer warns journalists that they can’t discuss her personal life or use their interview “in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning or derogatory to Ms. Jolie,” and now Lindsay Lohan, out junketeering for Herbie: Fully Loaded has a list of banned topics that turns interviews into meta-discussions of her life. From Zap2it.com:

For an 18-year-old, the number of off-limits categories is daunting. Reporters are warned that questions about her father or her recent weight-loss are verboten as are the various extracurriculars that have made her a tabloid favorite since before she could vote. Fortunately, Lohan is perfectly happy to talk about the reasons why she can’t talk about so many things.

“I think there’s become an obsession with the celebrity status right now, just buying the tabloids and feeding into it,” she sighs. “It’s hard, because people who don’t necessarily know me on a personal level, they’re going to believe whatever they read, which is understandable.” […]

“I’m a very honest person and I feel like I’m very sincere and I don’t take anything for granted and I feel blessed and lucky and I’m appreciative and I’m thankful,” she says. “And I’m not some crazy, Tara Reid-esque party girl. I want to be in this for the long run.”

This all sounds terribly restrictive for an artist, but at least after she works through all of her flack-approved talking points (blessed, lucky, humble, good, et. al.) Lohan’s allowed a minute for freeform personal expression, like throwing Tara Reid under the drunken-slut bus.

LOHAN: 'WHY SHOULD I GO NAKED?'

LINDSAY LOHAN

LINDSAY LOHAN refuses to strip for love scenes on screen, because her movie idols JODIE FOSTER and JULIA ROBERTS never needed to resort to nudity to achieve critical acclaim.

The 19-year-old star is determined to retain her integrity as an actress, and would love budding starlets to regard her as a role model for her stoic principles.

She says,"You don't see Julia Roberts going naked or going against her natural beauty. She never has. And look what a great body of work she has. No pun intended.

"The people I've always admired, like Jodie Foster and Julia Roberts, have not had to compromise themselves.

"Some day I'd like someone to say that about me."

Lindsay Lohan On The Loose in Minnesota

While it may seem to the casual Lindsay Lohan observer that the starlet has toned down her partying ways lately, true fans (read: obsessed bloggers) know that the relative quiet on the Lohan front is due to her presence in Minnesota, where she’s shooting Robert Altman’s A Prairie Home Companion. Luckily, her antics have been captured by the local media there, where she’s been seen getting carded and acting “hyper-active” while shopping at a local vintage clothing shop:

“One of my personal philosophies is to try not to jump to too many conclusions about people,” said [shop manager] Menendez. “You know, she’s 19 and she lives in a whole different environment; a whole different dimension from the rest of us. I just chalk it up to a tight shooting schedule.”

How typically Minnesotan of Menendez to offer up excuses about behavior she was not inclined to confirm. Maybe Ella should be an NYC publicist!

“Well, I think, the description I can give you honestly is that she acted like she was on too much coffee,” said Menendez. “And I’ll leave it at that.”

You just know that Lohan’s flack, Leslie Sloane, jotted down that “too much coffee” freebie, which will allow her to mix in a new excuse (the “puberty” line is already stale, and “exercising too hard” only has one or two more turns left) every time Lohan’s bony breastplate is featured on the cover of Star.

Lindsay Lohan parties at Chino Latino

Lindsay Lohan parties at Chino Latino
'Just my Luck' Star Lindsay Lohan reportedly boozed it up the other night at Chino Latino restaurant in St. Paul, Minn., where she's shooting "A Prairie Home Companion," Page Six Reports. While she "did eat, too," according to a snitch, Lohan might want to take it easy. On the set of "Herbie: Fully Loaded" and the upcoming "Just My Luck," her late-night partying landed her in the hospital for "exhaustion" and delayed filming. The St. Paul spy noted: "We wouldn't have even noticed her if it hadn't been for her stupid hat."

Lindsay Lohan rejects 50 Cent

Lindsay Lohan turned down a date with 50 Cent - because she has a crush on Eminem.

The sexy actress claims the rapper tried to get her number from her publicist after watching her in teen comedy 'Mean Girls'.

However, Lohan refused the star's romantic advances because she wants to hook-up with 50's mentor Eminem.

She said: "50 called my agent for my number.
I was freaking out! The first thing I thought was, 'Where's Eminem? I'm in love with him'".

The pretty star says 50 isn't the only hip-hop star lusting after her.

Lindsay Lohan Denies Reckless Hotel Jump

LOHAN SLAMS NEAR-DEATH BALCONY JUMP REPORTS.

Actress LINDSAY LOHAN has slammed reports she encouraged a young man to risk his life by jumping from her hotel suite balcony into a swimming pool below.

Guests at Los Angeles' Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel's Tropicana bar claimed an unnamed boy recently leaped from the MEAN GIRLS star's second-storey balcony and almost missed the pool.
But Lohan insists the accusations are completely false.

A witness tells The New York Daily News newspaper, "Lindsay spent last weekend in the $1,500-a-night Marilyn Monroe suite.

Linsay Lohan Weight Loss Due To Parents

Lindsay Lohan lost weight over her parents split.

Teen star LINDSAY LOHAN lost weight through the stress of her parents' breakup, according to her father MICHAEL.

Lohan has been the subject of much media speculation in recent weeks, after she was photographed looking painfully thin.
Michael Lohan is currently in prison in New York State on charges of drink driving and assaulting his brother-in-law at a family party. He is also estranged from Lindsay's mother DINA - which he blames for their daughter's poor health.

He tells PageSix.Com, "People wonder why Lindsay's so thin. It's because of all this garbage between her mother and me. She's beaten up inside. It's ripped our whole family apart.".

Lindsay Lohan's Pitt snub

Lindsay Lohan was embarrassed when she met Brad Pitt - because he didn't know who she was. The star-struck Mean Girls' actress was desperate to meet the hunky actor at the premiere of his movie, 'Mr and Mrs Smith'.

But when she introduced herself the handsome star reportedly didn't recognise her.

The pretty actress was overheard moaning: "I ran up to him and said, 'I just have to introduce myself', and he didn't know who I was!'" Lindsay was recently snubbed by a second star - when musician Jack White refused to play on her debut album.
The White Stripes rocker was horrified at the thought of performing with the actress-turned-singer and later confessed: "Somebody had the nerve to ask me if I wanted to play guitar on Lindsay Lohan's album.

"She's another one of those 16-year-old actresses, and she's making an album.
