Lohan Causes A Scene in NY Deli

While the rest of us were watching Lindsay Lohan give the new Project Runway contestants the up-down, she was right here in NYC losing her mind at Mott Corner Deli. TMZ reports that the actress/singer/part-time lesbian "went ballistic last night after she 'lost' her precious cell phone in a NY deli—a situation so dire, she dragged the NYPD to the scene." Here's the timeline: After making her purchase around 7:30 p.m. at the Mott Corner Deli, she left and soon realized her phone was no longer with her; "But when Linz went back, the deli worker insisted on checking the security tape to make sure it was hers before handing it back—this sent LiLo into a rage. Linz was so angry the deli man wouldn't just hand over the phone, that she got someone to call the NYPD for backup"—but by the time they got there, the situation was "diffused." The deli employee maintains that he had no idea who she was.

... one more thing, I am 38 yrs old & thank God I do not look like that!!

Oh my, I want to see what she looks like when she hits 30 ... or 40. She should get her shit together already!!

actually when you consider her "celebrity status" the info on that lost phone could be a pretty gigantic mess for her. Flipping out isnt _completely_ unwarranted.

Yeah, she doesn't want anyone else knowing where she gets her Vicodin.

according to the post the deli guy first asked them to call the phone and somehow neither she nor her entourage could get the number right, prompting the warner wolf call...

for all you outraged maniacs...

and be real that's a tired 40 up there

not that there's anything wrong with that

I'm 31 and I look younger than that chick.

Bort

Probably not as pretty, though. Sorry.

Mr Mel

That phone is probably loaded with phone numbers she doesn't want anybody to know about.

I doubt it. Anybody with a clue is staying as far away from this train wreck as possible. Think about it, you never see her with all the kids who are a rage now. The Hills, Twilight, Gossip Girl...none of those kids go anywhere near Linds. The most famous phone number she has in her cell is probably that of Samantha Ronson's but who wants that?

NannyState

Does she really need that cellie with her at all times? Can't she text her pimp about throwing up between tricks without all the drama?

The phone and its contents would sell for a million dollars at an auction of paps.

blackflag

She definitely looks like a really old granny.

babyhitler

Ughh. I saw this bitch yesterday at 6ish near where Heath Ledger Died on Kenmare. At first I was like, is that an old lady wearing hot pants? then I realized it was LL when all the paps came swarming in. It was funny cause she had this huge gay entourage. pretty sassy molassey.

So let me get this straight?

You shallow, vain, empty shells of people first buy the magazines and fawn over whoever the flavor of the week is.

Your ADD kicks in, and you forget about them for a while.

Then the schadenfreude takes over, when you remember you can get a cheap laugh when they fall hard. It makes you feel better about your meaningless life.

Next, you go on to defend them because even though you laugh and them and think you're better than them on the inside, HOW DARE ANYONE ELSE SAY SUCH A THING, YOU WOULD DO THE SAME IF YOU WERE IN HER SHOES.

I have some advice. Take whatever trophy wife meds you have, wash em down with whatever alcohol or cleaning fluids you have around the house, and do the world a favor and shuffle off.

"Schadenfreude" on a comment board? Don't be that guy (or gal)

I hate siding with celebrity brats, but Miss Lohan was right to throw a fit. He didn't need to watch the damn tape, shoulda just asked her what the number was, called it from his phone, and if her phone rings - dingdingding you've found the owner! If it was the middle of the night and some asshole deli owner was insisting he had to watch his security tapes before giving me my phone back, I would orally eviscerate him.

MR.2U

she is a brooklyn puppy kicker for sure

BTW, security video usually isn't very good. What is anyone really going to see? A small box about the size of a deck of cards, or smaller?

ANGRYGOD11

Forget who she is.

How would YOU react in that situation?

It's YOUR cellphone, YOU are a customer and some deli worker wants to go through videotape (Because you have nothing better to do) to confirm it rather than ask you to call that number?
