Lindsay told to re-invent herself in trip to India

On upcoming India trip, Hindus urge Lindsay to 'reinvent' herself in ashram

Nevada (US), Oct 29 : Hindus have urged Hollywood diva Lindsay Lohan to utilize her upcoming trip to India to 'reinvent' herself by spending some time in ashram (hermitage).

MTV Award winner American actress-singer-model Lindsay Dee Lohan (Mean Girls), 23, who has topped Maxim’s “Hot 100”, is heading to India to make a documentary on child trafficking for BBC Network.

Lohan, who is reportedly excited about this charity project and wants to “make the difference”, reportedly said “… you should use your voice for the right reason…”. Shooting will reportedly be held in Bihar.

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that in view of Lohan’s belief in ‘karma’, ashram would help bring Lohan tranquility, spirituality and serenity.

Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, says that ashram is a place of retreat usually used for spiritual development and India is full of them.

Members of English rock band “The Beatles” (Yellow Submarine) spent long periods at a Rishikesh ashram on the Ganges river bank. Musician-actor Ben Lee (The Square) and actress Ione Skye (River’s Edge) reportedly had a traditional Hindu wedding ceremony in an ashram near Chennai in south India in the recent past. Grammy winner American singer-rapper-musician-producer Kanye West has been reportedly planning to spend about a month in Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry to seek spiritual guidance, reassess his life and turn it around.

Generally ashrams are located away from the crowds in forests or other places amidst natural surroundings which are suitable for meditation and spiritual instruction and find mention in Hindu scriptures.

Lohan recently wrote on social networking service ‘twitter’: “i''m all about Karma.. what goes around comes around!”

Lindsay Lohan praises younger sister (or was it sarcasm?)

Lindsay Lohan has claimed that her younger sister is too sensible to get involved in the Hollywood party scene.

Lohan explained that 15-year-old Ali (pic), who has recently been spotted at showbiz parties, won't make the same mistakes that she did.

"She's tougher than I am," she told Life & Style. "She has a good head on her shoulders.

"Maybe it was different for me because I didn't know what to expect and it just happened really fast. I didn't have a big sister.

"She's really good. If I'm going out late, she'll go home early."

Lohan's brother Michael recently landed his first major film role.

Suspect Charged for Burglarizing Lindsay's home

We are happy to report that Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge can relax and go on doing whatever it is they do these days.

The tabloid tandem is probably feeling more secure now that the guy accused of breaking into their respective homes and making off with some $170,000 in jewelry and clothes has been formally charged.

Nicholas Prugo, an 18-year-old SoCal native, was rung up today on two felony counts of residential burglary, according to a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.

Prugo was busted Sept. 17 for allegedly nicking $43,000 in baubles from Chez Patridge and $128,000 in wardrobe and trinkets from Lohan Manor.

He is out now on $100,000 bail and scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 11. If convicted of the charges, he could face up to six years in the slammer.

Another woman, Rachel Lee, voluntarily surrendered to police after she was supposedly caught on security cameras attempting to enter Lohan's home. She has yet to be charged.

Lindsay - dating a married man

You know how we’re always like “Lindsay Lohan is a crackhead mess, anyone who has anything to do with her is probably on a very self-destructive path”? Well, Lindsay got her hooks into a new victim! It looks like my guess/assumption that Samantha Ronson dumped Lindsay was correct - I judged it from Lindsay’s crack tweets last week, which included coked-up musings like “u’ve done nothing but break my heart” and “Sorry for falling for you”. It seems that post-split, Lindsay is back to men. One married man, to be specific. People Magazine, of all legit sources, claims that Lindsay was spotted making out with the still-married Balthazar Getty over the weekend:

Lindsay Lohan arriving at West Hollywood nightspot Voyeur with Sienna Miller’s ex, Brothers & Sisters star Balthazar Getty. Sneaking in through the club’s backdoor, the pair were all over each other at a table in the front of the room, according to a clubgoer. The duo stayed for less than half an hour before leaving the nightclub, where Whitney Port, Ryan Phillippe and Matthew Perry were also having a good time.

[From People]

Oh, God. This is going to get really messy. First, a word about whether this is really legit. I’m going to say “totally”. It is People, and they wouldn’t report this without good sourcing. People also memorably took Balthazar’s wife’s side in the nearly two-year Sienna Miller debacle, so it looks like People still has pretty good anti-Balthazar sources.

Honestly, though, I kept waiting for yet another topless vacation for Sienna Miller and Balthazar. Even though she’s been spotted with a new boyfriend, I thought she and Balthy were probably still in contact, but simply keeping a lower profile for a short time. They were last spotted together in July. Shortly after that, it looked like Balthy went back to his wife, Rosetta. So… what will Rosetta do about Lindsay Lohan? Rosetta and her industry friends did some serious damage to Sienna’s career, but Lindsay is already at rock bottom within the industry. Maybe making out with Lohan is enough to finally get the Getty’s divorce paperwork going?

Lindsay Lohan is on the brink of death?

Star magazine is claiming that Lindsay Lohan is on the brink of death because of her out of control drug abuse, and that those close to her are worried that she may have passed the point of no return. Of course, the tabloids have been claiming this about Lindsay Lohan for the last two years, so we're not exactly sure how this qualifies as news...perhaps they were just sick of all the Gosselin covers.

A source close to Lindsay told Star, "She's a wreck, a mess, a disaster. She's an obituary waiting to happen." The source later said, "She's definitely hit rock bottom. The next level is six feet under."

Things apparently came to a head in Paris, where Lindsay Lohan received terrible reviews for the Ungaro fashion line on which she served as a creative consultant. Lohan reportedly abused vodka, cocaine, and prescription meds throughout her entire trip, with things only getting worse once the reviews started rolling in.

A source revealed, "She was crushed. Her eyes were red and puffy, and at one point she started shouting and tearing up." At some point, Lindsay allegedly passed out. A source explained, "Her friends had to get her out of there before things got any worse." We're not sure how things could get much worse, considering this Lindsay Lohan appearance included screaming, crying, and passing out. But we guess we should be grateful that Samantha Ronson wasn't present, or else this probably would have also included objects flying through the air...expensive, French objects.

If Michael Lohan is to believed, an intervention is just around the corner. Michael has recently spoken openly about his belief that Lindsay is addicted to prescription pills and that he's planning on staging an intervention along with the rest of her family. Michael claims he blabbers about all this to the press because he thinks it will force Lindsay to listen to him. Sure. Because that technique has worked wonders in the past.

Lindsay Lohan ordered to appear in court

LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan has another date with a judge.

A judge in Beverly Hills, Calif., has ordered the "Mean Girls" star to appear at a court hearing Friday morning.

The 23-year-old actress was placed on three years of probation in 2007 after she pleaded guilty to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine, and no contest to two counts of drunken driving and one count of reckless driving. She spent 84 minutes in jail.

It is unclear why Lohan has been ordered to appear. The judge's order was made during a routine progress report Wednesday.

Court records show that no warrant has been issued, and they do not reflect a probation violation has occurred.

E-mails to Lohan's publicist and attorney were not immediately returned Thursday.

Lindsay Lohan slams jewel theft accusations

Troubled star Lindsay Lohan has rubbished reports of another jewellery scandal following rumours that she infuriated fashion bosses by failing to return loaned designer accessories.

The 'Mean Girls' star had reportedly left France without returning the pieces she had borrowed from jeweler Arielle de Pinto during Paris Fashion Week earlier this month, reported Contactmusic.

Now the 23-year-old star has taken to her Twitter page to brush off rumours that she stole the items.

"That's a lame lie. Especially considering the people at the company are my friends and we laughed at this," she wrote.

It's the third missing jewellery scandal Lohan has been caught up in this year. In June, editors at Britain's Elle magazine defended the star after pieces were stolen from her cover shoot for the publication.

Two months later, in August, a Beverly Hills jeweler had threatened to sue her if she didn't return the USD 2 million worth of gems he loaned her for an event.

Was Lindsay Lohan's Ungaro Collection that bad?

Lindsay crying....

Why the clothes really provoked such a hostile reaction.
By Josh PatnerPosted

Lindsay Lohan in Paris. Click image to expand.Lindsay Lohan in ParisHow bad was the collection Lindsay Lohan and Estrella Archs designed for Ungaro? The show—held in Paris last week—has been the talk of the town and the blogosphere. It was called a "hot mess," "disastrous," "cheesy and dated." It featured fly-away jackets revealing heart-shaped pasties. But the fashion skeptic can be forgiven for thinking, Designers send weird things down the runway all the time! Was the collection really that horrible? Or was Lindsay Lohan just the victim of fashion snobbery?

Rest assured, fashion skeptic: The collection was truly, deeply horrible. While snobbery did play a role in the reviews, it was only a supporting role.

Before I explain the particulars, I should note that I worked briefly as a design consultant to Ungaro in 2005, when the house was under different ownership, and that I didn't see the show. My comments are based on images and reviews in print and on the Web. But certain points are clear nonetheless.

There were several factors likely to irk fashion snobs, no matter the quality of design. For one, the show was held in the Carrousel du Louvre, a purpose-built venue under the museum that was opened by the French government and is adjacent to a shopping mall and food court. Although it's conveniently located, it's hardly the place for editors and retailers to strut their Manolos, and I can't think of a single show there that's ever been a blockbuster. Atmosphere is part of the fashion equation, demanding the tonier backdrop of, say, the Hôtel de Crillion (where Balenciaga showed this season), the soaring glass dome of the Grand Palais (Chanel's venue of choice), or the arty galleries of the Marais (Bernard Wilhem, Veronique Leroy).

Second, Lohan's anticipated walk down the runway reportedly caused more than the usual chaos at the door, which surely put the crowd in a bad mood before the show even started. Door frenzy can excite a fashion crowd—we love to walk past a red velvet rope, after all—but it invites insult if the clothes are not well above par. Fashion people will be pissed on, but only for glorious designs, big ideas, and newness. (Cult designer Rick Owens caused chaos at his show this season by double-booking his front row seats, but such a move suits his aggressive brand, and the crowd loved the clothes once the chaos died down.)

Lindsay in tears at Paris Fashion Week

Lindsay Lohan’s Clothes Slammed

Lindsay Lohan’s debut fashion collection has been slammed by critics after it was shown for the first time at a Paris show. Her collaboration with clothes company Emanuel Ungaro was called “cheesy and dated” by one reporter.

Style.com wrote that the catwalk event: “devolved into a bad joke of a fashion show, one with questionable colour combinations, 'bad '80s' draped silk jackets and drop-crotch pants, old-fashioned and ill-judged fur stoles, and, yes, tasteless sequin pasties.”



At the end of the show Lohan and designer Estrella Archs hit the runway to soak up applause for their collection.

However LiLo then burst into tears when she realised that the fashionistas present weren’t too impressed.

She also told reporters designing the garms was “the hardest thing I’ve ever done.”

Lindsay looking lean and mean at Paris Fashion Week

Lindsay arrived in Paris earlier this week to debut her first collection with Ungaro.
She has teamed up with Ungaro's new head designer Estrella Archs to create the Autumn/Winter collection in just three weeks.

The star has been Twittering frequently throughout her stay, inviting celebrity pals Miley Cyrus and Lily Allen to attend her first fashion show on Sunday.

Lindsay's new role with Ungaro was announced last month, with the actress being given her own office at the fashion house's headquarters in Paris.
Writing on her Twitter page, she said: 'I just saw my office at Emanuel Ungaro en Paris. It's so pretty. I was shocked and so happy I cried. A dream come true.'
Mounir Moufarrige, the firm's president, said: 'Twenty-first century muses are extroverts whose personal style and experience gives them a strong creative and artistic focus. Thus was our vision of combining the eye of a fashion creator with the eye of the ultimate luxury consumer, a celebrity.With Sister Ali Lohan.
