It was a busy weekend in the life of Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson. The inseparable duo gallivanted around Paris, taking in the sights, enjoying the nightlife and being pelted by PETA-approved flour bombs. As you do.
Evidently some crazed French animal rights activist got all up in arms over a fur stole that Lindsay was sporting at a Paris nightclub, so she threw a bag of flour at the "actress" before running off down the sidewalk, Napoleon Dynamite-style. (You can watch the video here.)
Not to worry, though: Sam retaliated in the most effective way possible, by blogging about the incident on MySpace. Full rant after the jump.
According to the British tabs, Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronsen are going to get officially engaged in Paris this week. Hope they aren't planning on living in Cali.
Late last month, as press reports overflowed about Lindsay Lohan's lesbo relations with DJ Samantha Ronson, her rep Leslie Sloane Zelnik at BWR spent an afternoon assuring the entertainment media that, no, the two were not dating. This, despite Lohan's call into the radio show Loveline, where she all but acknowledged the relationship to host Ted Stryker. Specifically, Zelnik argued "there was no confession," and that when her client answered Stryker's question how long she and Sam had "been going out" with the reply "Like two years, one year, five months, two months," Lohan was just talking about their "close friendship."
Funny, because now Ms. Zelnik finds herself rebutting reports that the two split up. Wait: The twosome aren't dating, but they haven't split up either? CONTINUED »
Feck Fashion Week photo galleries. Style.com has them. So, too, does New York, Coutorture, the Daily News, Fashionista, and the endless blogs with readerships of two hundred. And they're all the same! WireImage or Getty or some other service that everyone is pulling from. Even the party photos on Guest of a Guest and Down By The Hipster are indistinguishable. So we appreciate this entry from BlackBook — the first entry of illustrated coverage we've seen, and it's quite to our liking. It's of Charlotte Ronson's afterparty at Country Club on 14th Street, where Lindsay Lohan, Sam Ronson, and Nicole Richie made guests feel fat.
Poor Michael Lohan. In just one short week, the former prison inmate publicly fought with his daughter and ex-wife and suffered the loss of his father. But things grew worse over the weekend when Lindsay failed to show up for her grandfather's wake in Long Island, choosing instead to spend her time shopping in Manhattan with girlfriend Samantha Ronson. This forced Mike to discuss Lindsay's absence with the always sympathetic X17 photo agency, which we assume will be followed up with another preposterous exclusive with OK! magazine.
We've come to the conclusions that the Lohan family can't survive without being involved in some sort of public feud. The latest was with America's hero, Anderson Cooper, but this time they're keeping it inside the family and battling father Michael Lohan. Oh boy.
Upon news that Lindsay's girlfriend Samantha Ronson plans to write a tell-all, Michael went into a tirade accusing Sam of using LiLo for fame. Mike's not so self-aware, is he? In response, Lindsay pulled her dad aside and had a mature talk about how his actions hurt her. Just kidding, she went to Access Hollywood to announce that her father is "out of control."
So now it's Samantha's turn, and she unleashed her anger via MySpace, Brooke Hogan-style.
Lindsay Lohan's freak-sistah (not Ali) is getting a chance to tell her possibly-insightful story of growing up a real-life Tenenbaum. Samantha Ronson is in talks to pen a memoir about her life, and while everyone is freaking out that Samantha is using her relationship with LiLo to garner interest (she is), the DJ/club owner/child-of-a-socialite probably has some juicy niblets from her own life that don't involve Fire Crotch. Is Ronson a legitimate celebrity without Lindsay? No. But that's not usually a criteria for authors.

"Cracks" are beginning to show in Lindsay Lohan's lesbian veneer. Anonymous busy bodies tell OK! that the actress and her gal pal Sam Ronson have been bickering and Lohan's been getting close to the cock:
Samantha, Mark and Charlotte Ronson grace the pages of the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar in a fairly boring article that only gets exciting when — who else? — Lindsay Lohan becomes the topic of conversation.
CelebrityBlackBerrySightings.com is, as you might infer, a website devoted to chronicling celebrities with their BlackBerrys. This is like Celebrity Baby Blog, except instead of human spawn, there are pictures of stars with beautiful RIM devices. On this website you might learn that both Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have already scored themselves the new BlackBerry Bold, unavailable to the general public. Unless you're Canadian. [CBBS]
"'She's not a particularly good DJ. When you see her DJ, she really looks asleep at the wheel. She'll smoke cigarettes and just click through the songs on her laptop,' said Ian Drew, Us magazine's editor at large. 'She's like the friend with a bunch of records that you had come over when you had house parties in your parents' basement. The more drunk or high you get, the better she sounds.' Her draw? She's friends with the cool kids — like Lohan, Nicole Richie and Richie's ex-boyfriend, DJ AM. She can create a crowd, cachet and free press at the drop of her signature fedora hat." [ABC]
And such is the life of celebrity DJs: Like the nightspots they spin at, their buzzworthiness has a short shelf life. Take DJ AM, who rocketed on the scene in 2003 when he was dating Nicole Richie. Since their split, he's entertained himself with celebrity trysts that include Mandy Moore, but without a starlet on his arm, his demand has plummeted. Gone are the five-figure fees from clubs in NYC, LA, the Hamptons, and international destinations; instead, corporate gigs, like this week's Palm Centro smartphone launch in out in Beverly Hills, are what's paying the bills. But AM, real name Adam Goldstein, isn't the outlier. CONTINUED »
Watching Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson pal around a bookstore together is sort of like watching Mario Lopez breeze through a McDonald's drive-thru: These things do not make sense. [The Insider]
To fight back at the paparazzi, Lily Allen, who has long attracted their lens, but especially so after gaining weight, and most especially when she decided to lunch with Lindsay Lohan and Sam Ronson, snapped pictures of the crazed photographers, then posted them on her MySpace blog. That'll show 'em!
OK! magazine, the Richard Desmond vehicle for American gossip domination, already has the Spears clan on the line, with an exclusive deal for Jamie Lynn's baby photos and story. Now, they're angling for Lohan coup, having reportedly made an offer to Lindsay to do a "coming out" cover story about her wo-mance with the DJ Samantha Ronson. The blood money? A cool $1 million. [P6] But Lohan's rep says they fielded the offer, and passed.
This leaves OK! now free to purchase photos of the duo smooching in public, and run the same coming out cover story, just with a question mark at the end of the cover headline.
HEADLINE OF THE WEAK After suing Perez Hilton for defamation – for relaying a report that she planted cocaine in Lindsay Lohan's car – Samantha Ronson is the one with the red face. (Not, however, the red hair.) A judge not only threw out the suit, but ordered the DJ to pay the blogger's $85,000 in legal fees. And he's entitled to another $2k "if he wants it."
• Did Cathy Horyn like Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B show? No, apparently she did not. Says Horyn: "Among the words I wrote in my notebook, until my pen came to a stop, were 'blob,' 'very last season,' 'bad secretary,' 'astonishingly bad,' and 'Ditzville." Well, damn!
• American Next Top Model winner Caridee is, paradoxically, neither modeling nor a winner.
• Samantha Ronson (celebrity DJ and Lindsay Lohan's sometimes-girlfriend) reminds us why sister Charlotte is the fashionable one.
• Man sues bodega. 'Nuff said.
About that libel lawsuit DJ Samantha Ronson filed against Jill Ishkanian's CelebrityBabylon.com and PerezHilton.com based on their claims that the coke found in sometime-lover Lindsay Lohan's car during "that accident" was Ronson's: We hear the accused parties have yet to be served with legal papers of any kind. We asked Ishkanian to elaborate, and received a "no comment."
• Samantha Ronson may have royally screwed Lindsay Lohan in every way imaginable.
• Plus, now Ronson is "cheating" on LiLo with frenemy Nicole Richie.
• Meanwhile, that PSA Lindsay shot to discourage drunk driving is suddenly kind of hilarious.
• Avril Lavigne gives out her favorite digit.
• Next time you're feeling down and out, look at it this way. At least you're not some unemployed dude living out of your parents' basement and resting your head on homemade Backstreet Boys pillows.
• Turns out that TB patient who defied health officials' warnings by going on a wedding trip to Europe may not even have gotten married. On the plus side, he did, however, give lots of people a drug-resistant form of Tuberculosis.
