These Lohan family tapes keep getting released, and allegedly the latest recorded conversation between Lindsay's parents reveals that the actress was dating Heath Ledger back in January 2008... when he died! Dun dun dun. Mama Lohan told her ex-husband during this particular phone conversation, "I don't know if you know that, but I know cause I would drop her off and they were friends. Very, very close, okay? That fucked her up. When she's drunk or takes an Adderall with it, she will do something like Heath Ledger did in a second without thinking." She went on to say that Ledger's death set her daughter off into the downward spiral. And the fastest way to help her out of that downward spiral is to release private conversations about her personal life.

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.

Even though it's been documented that the Atelier on West 42nd Street was simply using Lindsay Lohan as a marketing object to move units, and that she never actually slept there, the condo complex has now got her bold-face name in a listing for #40J (where she may or may not have lived). It reads: "Live in Lindsay Lohan's former apartment, where she put 100K worth of the finest upgrades into this apartment" (installation of all mirrored tabletops and surfaces?). Live the dream (and get two bedrooms, two bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling windows, and an unobstructed view of the Statue of Liberty) for only $1,200,000. [via Curbed]

Just their luck—as Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were embroiled in a late night fight this weekend, NY Post reporter Justin Rocket Silverman happened to be standing nearby. His story begins at Charlotte Ronson's after party at the Eldridge where Lohan seemingly chased her 31-year-old girlfriend from (just last Fashion Week the two were so happy at Charlotte's show!). The Rocket reports back that Lohan cried, "Samantha Judith Ronson, why are you doing this to me?" as she chased her down East 1st Street, high-heeled and lit-cigarette in hand. Allegedly Samantha stopped briefly on East Houston Street to whisper something, which Lohan responded to with: "What are you talking about? I've been with you all night!" (Implying that Lohan was in the only other room at the Eldridge: the bathroom. With the cocaaaaaaaaine?) Allegedly only Rocket and two photographers took notice and were following the escapade, and their voyeurism ended at the Bowery Hotel where the two took the fight behind closed doors. Drama! And here we were pretty certain those two had already broken up.

No doubt the NY Post got a call from momager Dina Lohan this morning. The paper is reporting that her eldest, Lindsay, was such a nightmare on the set of Ugly Betty that her episodes were cut from 6 to 4. They say that LiLo "smoked 24/7, and after she left, they had to repaint her dressing room it was such a mess." It gets better! She allegedly "would obsessively cut pictures of herself out of the tabloids like she was creating some sort of scrapbook" (creepy!) and while rehearsing for a scene where America Ferrera had to "pants" her, they claim she wasn't wearing any underwear (the episode aired last night). Her friends defend her by saying the starlet "wears underwear all the time now." No doubt she has a whole scrapbook of photos to prove it.

Lindsay Lohan has a fashion line that's about to launch, and it's all about leggings. She updated her blog today with the announcement that her line, 6126 (named after Marilyn Monroe's birthday), would be officially launched at a celebration at Henri Bendel's tonight in New York. And you're all invited. About those leggings...she says: "Our holiday collection is pretty eclectic from gold zippers to leather detailing, to buttery soft cashmere. I hope you enjoy the collection as much as I enjoyed making it." Just picture it, sitting around the crackling fire with your family during the holidays wearing your gold-zippered leggings. The price won't be cheap, that particular style will run you about $123, but the most expensive pair come complete with knee pads [insert joke here]. Gotta give her credit though, she notes that at tonight's event "a percentage of all sales from 6126 [will go] to Ovarian Cancer Research, a cause very close to my heart." Put on your best leggings and head to Henri Bendel at 6 p.m. tonight if you want to be a part of this historic event.

Sorry Michael Phelps, Lindsay Lohan's just not that into you...but she is into her girlfriend Samantha Ronson! The NY Post is reporting (albeit via The Sun) that following the matching tattoos, the PDA and the dinner with Dina, the two have gotten engaged! Maybe. The paper reports, "just days after DJ Samantha Ronson announced at a gig that Lindsay would be her wife by the end of year," Lohan was spotted with a sparkling ring on a very important finger. While the giant, heart-shaped ring seems a more like a novelty piece, Ronson did declare: "By the end of this year, my love will be Mrs. Ronson!" Could a Ronson-Lohan baby be far off?

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson (fresh off of Fashion Week) woke up on this 9/11 morning and went straight to their MySpace blogs to deliver their messages of remembrance. If their "currently listening to" sections are to be believed, their blogging was soundtracked by John Lennon's "Imagine" and The Concert for New York City cd. Feel free to put one of those selections on now as you read their reminiscences. Lohan writes:

“I am in New York and I would like to remind everybody to take a moment today for those lost in tragedy that occurred on 9/11/01. thank you. xox L”

"waking up in nyc this morning 7 years later and it feels like just yesterday this city and our worlds were turned upside down.... never in my lifetime had I ever believed that I would see such horror- the kind that you see in documentaries set in far off places and read about in text books- never in my life had I ever thought that I would wake up and fall asleep afraid- watching things on television that felt like a film- walking through a city that felt like a war zone. there were army vehicles on houston street, barricades dividing neighbourhoods and lines around the block of people waiting to donate blood set in front of a backdrop of smoke filling a space where two of the largest buildings once stood. Two buildings that shaped one of the most famous skylines in this country, or in the world...... Seven years later and I will never forget. I don't really know what to say except to all those we lost we will never forget and never take for granted the sacrifices that you made. xoxo"

         

If you haven't noticed yet, Fashion Week kicked off in New York on Friday. Yesterday the Humane Society teamed up with Charlotte Ronson for the fur-free designer's first Bryant Park showing. Before the first look came down the runway, however, her sister Samantha stole the show with her favorite accessory by her side: Lindsay Lohan. The paparazzi, crazed interns and everyone with a camera swarmed and nearly turned the duo into runway roadkill.

Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, now LAPD Chief of Police, offered his blunt assessment that a paparazzi taskforce was a "waste of time" since, for one, favorite paparazzi target Lindsay Lohan "has gone gay." While LA City Council members were disturbed by Bratton's remarks--and outing of the Mean Girls starlet--Bratton refined his remarks, saying Lindsay's relationship with Samantha Ronson apparently "quieted her down...nobody is more of a supporter of gay rights than I am." Naturally, there were paparazzi were on hand to ask Lohan and Ronson how they felt about being outed by Bratton; we doubt Police Commissioner Ray Kelly will be discussing Lohanson any time soon.

After reading about Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan's romantic afternoon yesterday in the city (Chanel in SoHo, lunch at Bar Pitti, dinner at Gemma and a party at the Bowery Hotel), we were going to write that if their much-rumored relationship is a publicity stunt, it's totally working. And then we saw this caption accompanying the photos of their afternoon of summer lovin', courtesy of WireImage:

"Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson hold their breath while approached by a homeless man on the streets of Manhattan"

Clearly not satisfied with just $10,000 for the unwitting "borrowing" of her fur coat, a Columbia student has sued starlet Lindsay Lohan for "unspecified damages," citing Lohan's "intentional, oppressive and malicious" actions.

As surely some of the Lohan clan help declare open season in the Hamptons over Memorial Day weekend, the show "Living Lohan" will premiere on the E! network. The NY Post takes a look at the latest reality television family, and the momager who turned even more cameras on her fam: Dina Lohan.

After a Columbia student informed the Post that troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan borrowed--without permission--an $11,000 mink, the Post put the story on its cover yesterday, exposing the ugly truth of the fabulous: You may be going to a private party at an exclusive lounge, but you're still putting your coat into a communal coat bin.

Temper your envy of the fabulous going to private parties at exclusive clubs, because this tale of a coat gone missing, seemingly by the hands of a certain Hollywood starlet, boils down to one fact: Meatpacking District lounge 1 Oak has a "common bin" for jackets.

Last month we all got to see Lindsay Lohan play dress up for NY Mag as she posed as Marilyn Monroe. Michael Musto wasn't about to let her steal the show though, he's now topped the troubled tart by posing as Lindsay posing as Marilyn. He tells his loyal readers how he prepared for his own "Last Sitting":

The slinky Lindsay said she did 250 crunches the night before her shoot. Well, I did 250 Nestlé Crunches. Lindsay watched Niagara in early preparation for her Marilyn awakening. Well, I was considering Viagra...

In 1962, photographer Bert Stern shot a series of photos (2,571 in all) of Marilyn Monroe at the Hotel Bel-Air that are collectively known as “The Last Sitting.” The 36-year-old Monroe was in the darkest period of her life, having weathered two recent divorces, gallbladder surgery and sickness during production of the romantic comedy Something’s Got to Give, from which she was fired and rehired. Six weeks after the Stern photo shoot, Monroe died from a barbiturate overdose in her L.A. home.

Takeover BAM went down Saturday night after Sufjan Stevens’s last BQE show. There were 5 bands playing until 4am in the Opera House, bawdy burlesque shows, DJs and dancing in the swank BAM café, art by Mighty Robot and others, rock documentaries, a Lindsay Lohan Mid-Career Retrospective (“Mid-Career” – get it?) and $3 beer. It sounded like such a great time that we eagerly showed up at 11:30, only to realize that we weren’t the...

A look at some noteworthy television this week:

(directed by Ken Loach)

• Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: an unusual sexual assault on Broadway in Brooklyn, an unstable building on Sutphin Blvd. in Queens, and a shooting on West 142nd St. and Amsterdam Ave. in Manhattan.
• Central Park's Sheep Meadow was the first park location to upgrade its wifi Internet connection to high speed. The new 15-megabits-per-second service is five times faster than the previous connection.
• Madame Tussauds wax museum in Times Square wasted no time in dressing its likeness of Lindsay Lohan in prison stripes, after the young star was arrested for drunk driving and drug posession shortly after leaving rehab.
• Former NFL quarterback Boomer Esiason is in talks to fill the morning time slot on WFAN left vacant by the abrupt departure of Don Imus.
• Williamsburg! The Musical will premiere August 11th as part of the 11th Annual Fringe Festival.
• Gridskipper has a guide to NYC record stores for vinyl enthusiasts.
• Turning Long Island City into a giant sundial, with the Citibank tower as the shadow-casting spire.
• The City Council is thinking of revising its cell phones-in-schools policy, to allow kids to bring them to school, but not use them there. Schools would be required to set up cell phone storage facilities to secure the devices during the day.

When asked in 2005 what train wreck of a celebrity she would give some advice to, then-Gawker editor Jessica Coen said, "Lindsay Lohan, may God help you secure a room at Promises." Lohan ended up going to Wonderland for rehab, and apparently it didn't work any wonders on her. Adding to the list of Long Islanders giving New Yorkers a bad name is the one and only La Lohan. Recently in town for the Costume Institute Gala and the Maxim Hot List party, she managed to keep out of trouble. Perhaps that's because her car was in Los Angeles. And perhaps that's because last time she drove in New York she ran down a West Village photographer and is now being sued.

Gone are the days when children who wanted to learn the meaning of a naughty word or slang term had to find a dictionary or a more worldly pal. Today, Wikipedia can explain in a matter of seconds that badonkadonk is a term for a woman’s buttocks.

When it comes to road rage, New York City ranks second, after Miami, according to a survey from an automobile club. We don't know if we should be proud or ashamed that we moved up from the three position!

, it's always a joy to see Bateman on screen, and he does some hilarious work as the obnoxious, wheelchair bound Ex. You want to punch him in his ascot-wearing face nearly every time he's on screen, and that's quite a feat for a guy who most recently played such a winning TV lead. In addition to Bateman nearly every other supporting part is filled by a solid comedic performer like Rudd, Charles Grodin, Donal Logue, Fred Armisen, Amy Poehler and Amy Adams. Each of them take totally throw away moments and sell them with such comedic sincerity. Also the plot line about career woman Sofia trying to adjust to being a stay-at-home mom is done with welcome deftness. It'd be great to see Peet in even more roles like this where her sensitivity and likability can shine through. Producers Ted Hope, Anne Carey and Anthony Bergman (ie. former nurturers of directors like Ang Lee, Nicole Holofcener and Michel Gondry) obviously understood that even though screenwriters David Guion and Michael Handelman as well as Jesse Peretz are just starting out in the biz, they all have the goods.

Anna Wintour, Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquière, and Cate Blanchett hosted last night's annual Costume Institute gala, which was a celebration of Paul Poiret, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Poirot was the pioneer in modern fashion, and freed women from petticoats and corsets - though many, even those in attendance last night, aren't familiar with him. Everyone did their best to dress "in the spirit of" the King of Fashion however, including: Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Kirsten Dunst, Renée Zellweger and many other bold-faced names (photos here).
