Lindsay Lohan's "Evident" Romance With Sam Ronson

It looks like the only ones still denying that Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson are a couple are Dina and Ali Lohan.  After photos of the two nuzzling necks in Cannes popped up (for a refresher, check them out here), Michael Lohan is saying it's "evident" what's going on between the two--not that he particularly wants to see it.  He told US Weekly:

"Just like the topless Marilyn Monroe spread, Linds is my daughter and there are just some things a father doesn't want to see or hear, regardless of whether they are true or false."

Then he added that Lilo "is a big girl, and she can make her own life choices. Then it is between her and God."

Which given he's a Bible thumper is so code for "Sinner!" 

Then, because it's Tuesday and what's a Tuesday without some good old-fashioned Lohan fighting, he took a shot at Dina.  Can't say I blame him there--it's great fun.

"Maybe her mother's life revolves around the tabloids and reports, but mine doesn't.  I am into setting a good example and doing good things that don't deceive or exploit my kids."

Speaking of, I fell asleep before "Living Lohan" started last night.  I'll have to watch the clips later, but I'm crossing my fingers it's as bad as I hope.  And, really, how can it not be?

Britney Spears' New Vacation Buddy: Mel Gibson

Trainwrecks make strange bedfellows - so to speak, that is.  I'm not suggesting there's anything of the romantic nature going on between Britney and Mel Gibson, because--ewww!  He's married and about 30 years older than her.  Plus, he's got like 45 kids and Brit can't even handle the two she has.

No, nothing shady going on there--just some good old, vacation-time fun!  That's right: Brit Brit and Mel--along with her father and his wife--have gone on holiday together.  The foursome are heading to Costa Rica, where they'll stay at Gibson's house for a few days.  I bet it's a great house.  I'm sure the bar is well-stocked.  What?

The two have apparently been pals for a little while, with the first sighting of them taking place back in March, when they had dinner together at a Russian restaurant in Studio City.  At the time a source told People magazine that they had met up a few times since Brit's February "issues." 

"Mel and his wife Robin clearly saw a woman in crisis and wanted to extend themselves in any way possible."

They also used to be neighbors when Britney was living in Malibu and the source said there's no agenda behind the friendship, just "one neighbor reaching out to another." 

Well, that's just great.  My neighbor keeps me awake at 3 a.m. with his guitar playing, while Brit's neighbor takes her to Costa Rica. 

Life really isn't fair.

Britney Spears And Mel Gibson: WTF?

Dina Lohan Defends Lindsay...Again

You've gotta love Dina Lohan.  If only for her consistancy.  The woman has managed to raise a daughter who she pimped out since the age of 10 and who ended up in rehab twice before she was even legally able to drink and yet she'll still justify everything Lindsay does..  And in light of Lilo's questionable partying the last several weeks--with reports of her back on the booze and hanging out 24/7 with BFF/possible girlfriend Samantha Ronson--what else can we expect except for Dina to shoo it all away.

"They have been friends forever. Charlotte is a dear friend, too. Her brother is a doll; they are just friends of the family."

Of course they are!  And Lindsay is threatening random Olsen twins about a "just friend."  We believe you, Dina.  I guess a lesbian relationship doesn't fit into her plans for media domination.  At least not yet.  Next year if there's a reality show deal on the line she'll be signing up for "My Gay Daughter" quicker than you can say "US Weekly cover story."

As to the rumors that Lindsay is partying too much?  This is rich:

"It is sad.Lindsay is being so good."

Head in the sand-itis.  I love the implication that it's all, yet again, the big, bad media that is spreading these false rumors.  That would be the same media she has on speed dial when it suits her purpose.  Dina is seriously the devil.

Lindsay's Date Night

After her whirlwind, booze-filled weekend in NYC, Lindsay in back in L.A. and still following Samantha Ronson around like a lovesick teenager.  Last night, the two went to a dinner party for Ronson's sister, designer Charlotte Ronson, at the Dakota restaurant in Hollywood.  People magazine noted that Lilo was "rather reserved" and spent a lot of time texting on her Blackberry.  Ah, manners.

I don't know what's going on with that girl, but it can't be good.  I'm going to make a bold prediction that there's another rehab stay in Lindsay's future before the end of summer.  I know--really going out on a limb there.  She seems to be floundering and her BFF/girlfriend doesn't seem to be helping any.  True, addicts can only get help when they're ready, but constantly taking them to clubs?  Not cool.

Lindsay Lohan: "Stay Away From My Girlfriend!"

Dude, you don't want to get between Lindsay and her favorite gal pal, Samantha Ronson, take it from Ashley Olsen.  According to Page Six, Lindz and Sam were at the Beatrice Inn in NYC on Friday night when Ashley went up to Ronson and said hello.  Which apparently rubbed Lilo the wrong way.

"Ashley Olsen said hello to Sam at the Beatrice, and Lindsay screamed at her, 'Get your 15-year-old 'Full House' a - - away from my girlfriend.' "

Then, at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone the following night, Lohan was hurt that Sammy was ignoring her.  The source said it was only because Ronson was deejaying and "really focused on her work," but that didn't stop someone's feelings from getting hurt.  Because it's love!  Lindsay has even, per the source, created a Facebook profile under the name of "Lindsay Ronson."

Awww, this is like an episode of "The L Word."

Lindsay Lohan: Here She Goes Again

Well, that didn't last long.  "That" being Lindsay's commitment to sobriety.  And, really, could it?  With all the clubs she's been hitting?  There was only so long she was going to be able to resist joining in on the party with a few celebratory drinks. 

And that's just what happened this weekend in NYC with BFF Samantha Ronson at Time Square's Hawaiian Tropic Zone, where Ronson was deejaying.  People magazine reports that Lindz sat at a table behind Ronson for the first hour, then hit the dance floor and started downing vodka and Red Bull cocktails.  Which is what every recovering alcoholic should be doing.

Later, Lindsay was seen texting as the night wore down.  No doubt calling her sponsor.  Yeah, sure.  I wonder how Dina will spin this one?  Will she go with a "Lindsay knows she messed up.  Sobriety is an ongoing process" or will she do her "Lindsay's young--of course she has to let loose sometimes" song and dance?

Victoria Beckham's Missing Guest

Today's Posh's 34th birthday.  It's weird--I always think she's older.  Probably because she's been around forever.  She looks fine, though.  Plastic stands the test of time, after all. 

Anyway, last night Victoria and David dined out with her new BFF, Kate Beckinsale and husband, Len Wiseman.  They were joined by Eva Longoria at Beso, Eva's new restaurant.  It was yet another occasion where ex-BFF Katie Holmes was excluded.  Interesting.  The once good buddies haven't been seen together in months and a UK tabloid is reporting it's because Tommy doesn't like the influence Posh has on Katie.  I don't know if I buy that, but the bloom is definitely off that friendship rose.

So, what happened?  Did Posh get bored with Katie just staring blankly into space and randomly stating in perfect monotone, "I love Tom.  He's amazing?"  And, bigger question: how vapid must one be to bore Victoria?  Let's face it, a rocket scientist she is not.  But she's also extremely image and business savvy and I don't suppose she suffers stupid people gladly.  Maybe being "friends" with Katie just got to be more trouble than it was worth.  At least she doesn't have to listen to the Scientology pitch anymore.  That right there has got to be a plus.

Victoria Beckham Gets A New BFF

Oh, Katie Holmes has soooo been replaced as Victoria Beckham's wing woman.  Doesn't really matter why, the fact remains that Posh has been hanging around more and more with another Kate--Beckinsale, to be exact.   The ladies--along with their kids and Kate's husband, Len Wiseman--took in an L.A. Galaxy soccer game on Sunday.  Now that's gonna tick little Tommy Cruise off like there's no tomorrow.  Because there's little he likes more than watching sports.  Especially when it involves David Beckham running around after a ball. 

This friendship makes a lot more sense than Victoria and Mrs. Cruise, who always looked like they wouldn't have a thing to talk and sat across each other as the room was filled with dead air.  Kate B. and Posh even sort of look alike; both have that British "I don't give a crap" non-expression that Katie H. didn't have programmed into her database.

On the bad news from for Vicks, her dVb denim line has been dropped by Fred Seagal and Kitson stores.  The reasons?  Poor sales and lack of promotion from Fashion Spice.  The lack of sales I can see: who wants giant crowns on their butts, but the lack of promo?  Posh lives for that stuff!  Kitson's owner, Fraser Ross, says it wasn't from lack of wanting on their part:

"We asked her PR people so many times for her to appear but she didn't.  Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour.  They have to be promoted to sell."

Tom Cruise To Victoria Beckham: Stay Away From My Robot!

Tommy Cruise isn't happy.  And you know what happens when Tommy Cruise isn't happy?  People DIE!  OK, not really--but you don't want to ever upset His Royal Scienotologist's apple cart, as that puts him in a nasty mood.  The latest person to do this is Victoria Beckham--or, more precisely, her friendship with his future ex-wife, Katie Holmes.  Apparently, Tommy's unhappy that his Stepford Wife is dropping too much weight in her effort to emulate Posh.  Per a source:

"Katie sees Victoria as a role model.  She copies Victoria's look and even cut her hair the same way.  She is very thin largely because she is following Victoria's strict 900-calories-a-day eating plan. She is copying Victoria's fad of eating seaweed shakes, frozen grapes and edamame beans. She is tiny."

Seaweed shakes?  Maybe that's why Kate's been looking so sickly lately.  It's a cry for kelp!  Thank you, I'm here all week.

But, seriously, I think the problem is less about how the wife-like unit looks and more about the Beckhams not wanting to join Scientology.  Because anyone who doesn't cave to Tommy's hard sell of L. Ron's teachings always seems to get excised from his life.  Remember when Tom was BFFs with Jamie Foxx?  Kanye West?  Steven Spielberg?  Where have all those friendships gone?  Right into his old "they won't give the 'Church' half their salary so I'm gonna pick up my toys and find a new friend" dumpster, that's where.

Having said that, Tommy hates bad publicity (though, lord, you'd think he'd be used to it by now) so look for a Katie/Posh lunch date coming soon to a photo agency near you.

That's What Friends Are For

I've seen a lot of testaments of friendship, but this may be one for the books:

"I was the birth partner for Bridget, and I wiped amniotic fluid from between her legs. It was the most amazing experience ever, ever."

The "Bridget" being Bridget Moynahan, ex-girlfriend and baby momma of New England Patriots quarterback, Tom Brady.  The person speaking is her BFF, Sam Harris, who I'll always remember as the first "Star Search" winner.  What can I say?  I loved that show. 

This quote was taken from a video Sam posted on YouTube, where he chatted with his pal, Bridge, about the birth, the baby, and all sorts of fun stuff.  I have to say--I never really thought much about Bridget Moynahan, but she's pretty likeable in this clip.  And gorgeous--even with pulled back hair and no make-up.
