Lindsay tussles with Beyonce for dressing room at F1 Rocks

Lindsay Lohan and Beyonce fought it out for the biggest dressing room at F1 Rocks - and we lapped up the drama.

LiLo, who was hosting the event for Channel 4, had asked for the best dressing room in the house at Fort Canning, Singapore. But there was a small problem - so had Beyonce.

Bey wanted it decked out in white, with authentic local cushions, and a minimum of four lit mirrors.

Even though she hasn't got a curve out of place she also asked for a mini gym and slimming shakes on her rider, plus champagne and vodka for her pals. What Bey wants, Bey gets. And when Lindsay came on site earlier in the week, she clocked the huge room - and claimed it herself.

All well and good and LiLo was happy all week - until Saturday when Beyonce arrived, with a 70-strong entourage in tow. Her giant security guards ordered LiLo to clear the area to prepare for her grand entrance.

And poor old LiLo was forced to slum it.

She told us: "I've been a bit down. It was a strange night. Everyone was being aggressive and bothering me. I really didn't like it."

On stage, Beyonce had 12 wind machines to keep her cool and one of her £250,000 diamond earrings flew off.

The crowd went bonkers for Single Ladies and crazy for the Destiny's Child medley. But it was her tribute to Michael Jackson that moved everyone to tears.

Footage flashed up on the screen of her and Kelly Rowland dancing to Michael Jackson when they were six.

Changing the words to Halo in Jacko's honour, she said: "I want to thank Michael for everything he taught me and everyone else. Michael I can see your halo."

Impressive stuff... but can anyone see Beyonce's earring?

Lindsay says she is numb to Paparazzi


SINGAPORE : From her debut in Disney’s remake of “The Parent Trap” when she was just 12 to her breakthrough role in the teen comedy “Mean Girls”, Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan has had her fair share of being in the spotlight and more.

Lohan was recently in Singapore to host the inaugural F1 Rocks, a three-day concert held in conjunction with the Singapore Grand Prix, featuring acts like Beyonce, No Doubt and the Black Eyed Peas. Despite being a last minute replacement over Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger who pulled out of hosting the F1 Rocks shows amid rumours she had split from McLaren F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, Lohan managed to stir up a quite a bit of attention herself.

Sharing her excitement with Primetime Morning, Lohan chimed, “I’ve never been to Singapore before and it’s really beautiful here. And I can’t wait to see all the performers and learn more about F1 and see all the racers.”

“I’ve actually worked with NASCAR for 'Herbie Fully Loaded' which I did with Disney. So I’m really excited to see everything going on.”

The 23-year-old has seen her hair share of controversy. Known to be a wild child, she has been previously arrested twice for driving under the influence and for drug possession.

Things however are looking up for Lohan now that she is the newly appointed creative adviser for fashion label Emanuel Ungaro and has just wrapped up filming for Robert Rodriguez's shoot-em-up flick “Machete” that co-stars Robert De Niro.

“It was really fun. I’ve never shot a gun before which was really scary which I did on my last day of filming.”

As for her new role in fashion, Lohan said that she was “excited” about going to Paris right after the series of F1 Rocks gigs to unveil her new collection on October 4.

Admitting that she does not care about the paparazzi invading her privacy, Lohan said she ignores them by “not paying attention” and is already “numb” to their flashing lights.

Happy Days for Lindsay Lohan in Singapore


This photo is from Lindsay Lohan’s Twitter - she posted it, thinking she looked awesome, when she really looks older than her mother. But still, happy days, right? Lindsay Lohan got a job yesterday - hostess of the Singapore Grand Prix. Even though Lindsay was the second choice - the replacement for a Pussycat Doll - she seemed thrilled with her gig as she waxed on like a crackhead about the Grand Prix and Herbie: Fully Loaded. The news made me wonder if Lindsay, in her own mind, might think that if she’s functioning enough to take a gig, that maybe she’s still keeping it together. I have news for Lindsay - she’s not.

Lindsay - an hour late in Singapore


TRUE to diva form, American actress Lindsay Lohan was over an hour late.

The press conference at Fort Canning on Thursday was scheduled to start at 12.30pm. But the 23-year-old star of the F1 Rocks Singapore show waltzed into the VIP room at Fort Canning Park Centre at 1.40pm.

But on the way to the press conference, she found time to post a picture of herself on Twitter with the perky message: 'F1 Rocks Press Event - I heart Singapore! World's First 180 countries!!'

The famously temperamental actress was all smiles during the meet-the-press session. 'Hello, nice to meet you,' she said in her signature raspy voice as she offered a flimsy handshake. 'This is my first visit to Singapore.'

Lindsay Lohan to host F1 Rocks


SINGAPORE : Hollywood starlet and paparazzi magnet Lindsay Lohan will step in for Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger to host F1 Rocks, organisers said.

"We got a call... saying Lindsay Lohan was really keen to come to Singapore," said Paul Morrison, chief executive officer of British-based events company All The Worlds, the concert promoter behind F1 Rocks.

While Morrison is baffled as to why the starlet is so keen on the hosting gig, we think it has something to do with gal pal and DJ Samantha Ronson who is also headed this way to spin at the Fuel Festival at Novus.

Scherzinger reportedly pulled out of F1 Rocks last week after splitting with her F1 driver boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, although the McLaren driver has repeatedly denied the break-up.

Besides Lohan, other considerations for the position included singer Katy Perry, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham as well as "a number of the Spices", said Morrison.

F1 Rocks, a three-day concert which is held in conjunction with the Formula One night race in Singapore, features big names like Beyonce, Black-Eyed Peas, No Doubt, Mando-pop artistes Jacky Cheung and A-Mei.

F1 Rocks kicks off Thursday and will be broadcast on television in 140 countries.

Lindsay denies bust-up with Ronson in hotel


“Mean Girls” star Lindsay Lohan has denied that she was escorted off the premises of a New York hotel after a row with her on/off girlfriend Samantha Ronson.

According to Hollyscoop.com, Lohan, 23, was at the Bowery Hotel in Manhattan on September 17 when the fight with Ronson allegedly broke out, reports Contactmusic.

Police had to be called after the actress allegedly “threw a room service tray at what she thought was her girlfriend’s door”, and she was reportedly removed from the hotel grounds.

But, according to website GossipCop.com, Lohan was actually thousands of miles away in Austin, Texas, filming her forthcoming movie MAChete when the incident allegedly took place. (ANI)
