Caroline Bankoff — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 09:38:41 -0500

Samantha Ronson has once again taken to her Myspace blog to make her opinions known. Now she's lashing out at the anti-fur activist who threw flour on girlfriend Lindsay Lohan: "The girl who threw [the flour] acted like an animal herself... I take that back, it's an insult to animals to group her in with them, my dog is FAR more civilized than that person." [People]

Kate Hudson spent Friday night in Miami flirting with Madonna property Alex Rodriguez. A source says the actress's arms were "completely wrapped around A-Rod’s waist and every time he leaned over to talk to anyone she would pull him back toward her." [Full Disclosure]

Real World: Brooklyn has mostly been filming at East Village nightspots because "nobody in Brooklyn wants the losers on the show to be in their bar." And people in Manhattan do? [Page Six Magazine, fifth item] read more »

Lindsay Lohan girlfriend, DJ, and budding political blogger Samantha Ronson has once again taken to Myspace to address the pressing issues of the day, offering up a semi-apology for one of her previous dispatches.

Following Election Day, Ms. Ronson expressed dismay that California's Proposition 2, which is designed to improve the living conditions of the animals living on farms and in slaughterhouses, had passed alongside Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in the state:

i guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that's really sad to me. yes, i am glad that the chickens will have more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but i just think it's frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow's dinner than for the chef. read more »

Someone has been looking through the trash cans of the West Village's celebrity residents and sending their finds to Page Six. So far, they've turned up evidence of Mary-Lousie Parker's thyroid problem. Good work, guys! [P6]

Caroline Bankoff — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 09:34:25 -0400

Lindsay Lohan's guest appearance on Ugly Betty was cut from six episodes to four because of trouble on the set. Issues included ego clashes with star America Ferrera, the size of Ms. Lohan's entourage, and a de-pantsing incident. People on set were also bothered by Ms. Lohan's tendency to "obsessively cut pictures of herself out of the tabloids like she was creating some sort of scrapbook." [P6]

Among the things Sarah Palin doesn't know: who Oliver Stone is. [R&M, second item]

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have been buying up a bunch of separate apartments in a building in the East Village, where Tom is friendly to the neighbors and Katie "keeps her head down." [P6] read more »

Was Lindsay Lohan's Farmer's Tan Guerrilla Marketing for her New Leggings Line?

Irina Aleksander — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 13:48:42 -0400

On Saturday, Oct. 11, Lindsay Lohan arrived at the Diesel xXx Rock & Roll Circus party at Pier 3 in Brooklyn. As celebrities like Taylor Momsen, Emma Watson, Mark Ronson, Chace Crawford, and Peaches Geldolf made their way down the red carpet, Ms. Lohan managed to stand out.

Dressed in a pleated mini skirt, asymmetrical checkered top, motorcycle jacket and hooker heels, something seemed off about Ms. Lohan's seemingly exposed legs--as in, her feet did not match them in color. Ms. Lohan was suffering from a severe case of a farmer's tan, which we presume was caused by pairing skirts or shorts with ankle-high shoes. The result is a tan that made it look as if she was wearing copper-toned leggings. (We would've advised the actress to rub some self-tanner on her feet on the car ride over.) read more »

Michael Lohan Gets Knocked Out

Irina Aleksander — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:24:26 -0400

Celebrity dad Michael Lohan has announced that he will put himself up for auction to fight the highest bidder in a three-round boxing match at the annual Long Island Fight For Charity on Nov. 24 at the Long Island Hilton in Melville.

Bids are starting at $5,000 and money raised from the event will go towards charities like the Family Residence and Essential Enterprises Inc. According to its website, FREE (nice acronym!) assists individuals with mental challenges and developmental disabilities.

The event has apparently been months in the planning. In August, Mr. Lohan asked Page Six's Richard Johnson and Britney Spears's ex-husband Kevin Federline to join him in the boxing ring, but both declined. "I don’t care who it is; it’s for charity. I’ve been beaten up by the press, so I don’t care if I get a few shots by a kid half my age," Mr. Lohan told OK! magazine at the time. read more »
