La Lohan has a new interview in the October issue of Marie Claire, and, if the teaser on their website is to be believed, it’s quite a departure from her past interviews.

Lindsay speaks with a new-found maturity and appreciation for the impact of her actions. She understands what it does to an entire movie set when she shows up acting like a bitch. She understands what a terrible influence her father is (”We’ve gone through enough with him. Enough is enough.”), she’s done living in hotels (I didn’t want to be alone, so whatever I needed I could just go downstairs and there were people there. It wasn’t a way of life.”), and she’s parted ways with her momager and is now managed by Jeni Muro, an ovarian cancer survivor (”All this crap doesn’t matter. Life is much bigger than that. I share my perspective with her, and I don’t think anyone else has really done that.”)

And, last but not least, Lindsay seems to think she’s put her drama-tastic party days behind her.

“I’ve learned,” she says. “I’ll never go back. And it’s not a never-say-never type thing - it’s just, I know. I know.”

What do you guys think? Is the new and improved Lindsay here to stay? Or is it just a matter of time before our party girl finds the party again?

The full interview excerpt is here.

Samantha Ronson declined to walk the red carpet with Lindsay Lohan at the VMAs, but you better believe she was sitting right next to her as the show began.

Why no red carpet, girls???

Well look who showed up front and center at the Charlotte Ronson show at NY fashion week!

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, of course!

The couple created quite the media frenzy, distracting the paps from anyone else present, much to the dismay of model Jessica Stam, Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr, and, um, Waldo, who also attended.

Ya know, they might not have called People magazine to give them the exclusive just yet, but I think these two are way over hiding their relationship. They’re obviously “out,” whether or not they’re issuing statements to the press about it. Lindsay looks happier than I’ve seen her in, well, ever, and even Samantha is slowly beginning to look less and less like the creepy girl in high school who you think might be casting spells on you during lunch. I for one am thrilled for them.

Hee hee!

I must have missed this pic from a couple weeks ago.

It’s Lindsay saying goodbye to Samantha before she left for Sydney.

Adorableness!!!

Thanks Kristi!

What do we think, kids?

It’s probably not going to win any Oscars, but it sure looks like some of the best work we’ve seen out of Lindsers in a loooong time.

Thanks Anna L!

Lindsay Lohan’s latest MySpace blog?

Is about Bristol Palin, of course.

THERE IS NO OTHER NEWS THIS WEEK.

Says Lindsay:

I’ve been watching the news all morning, like everyone else - and i keep hearing about the issues related to ‘teen pregnancy’- It’s all related to Sarah Palin and her 17 year old unmarried pregnant daughter. Well, I think the real problem comes from the fact that we are taking the focus off of getting to know Sarah Palin and her political views, and what she can do to make our country a less destructive place. Its distracting from the real issues, the real everyday problems that this country experiences.

I am concerned with the fact that Sarah Palin brought the attention to her daughter’s pregnancy, rather than all world issues and what she believes she could possibly do to change them-if elected. I get Sarah Palin’s views against abortion, but i would much prefer to hear more about what she can do for our country rather than how her daughter is going to have a child no matter what.

Maybe focus on delivering some words and policy with stronger impact like Joe Biden.
See below for Barack Obama’s thoughts:
From Alexander Marquardt
CNN
MONROE, Michigan (CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama said firmly that families are off-limits in the campaign for president, reacting to news that GOP running mate Sarah Palin’s 17-year-old daughter is pregnant.

“Let me be as clear as possible,” Obama said. “I think people’s families are off-limits, and people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president.”

Obama said reporters should “back off these kinds of stories” and noted that he was born to an 18-year-old mother.

“How a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be the topic of our politics, and I hope that anybody who is supporting me understands that’s off-limits.” »

On another note-the last note- i heard a woman say on TODAY on NBC that teens are feeling as if they have to grow up faster. Really? Because, i think that girls that are CHOOSING to be sexually active and are making a conscious decision to grow up faster….. I think that parents need to recognize how important it is to talk to their children about the things that can result from being sexually active if they aren’t protecting themselves (birth control, condoms, etc.)

So-those are my thoughts for the day. Enjoy the music xoxo

OMG.

Lindsay Lohan knows who Joe Biden is.

My head just exploded a little.

Thanks Anna!

Hi guys! I’m back from vacay! Which was wonderful! But you know how awful it is when you get the most relaxing massage ever and then get in your car to head home and hit terrible traffic? And you’re like “Fuckin’ a, this shit just un-did all my relaxation?”

Michael Lohan is my traffic jam.

What kind of parasitic slime uses the death of his own father to diss his ex-wife, lie about his daughter and satiate his sick need for fame?

Oh, yes. Michael Lohan.

So Michael’s father (Lindsay’s grandfather) died, he issued this statement to OK! magazine:

“My father just, literally, died in my arms. I notified all my kids and my lawyer notified Dina’s attorney. Let’s see if she has the decency and respect to bring my kids to the wake and funeral. THIS will show her true colors! Thus, not even a call. But that’s par for the course with Dina! She didn’t even send a card or visit when he was sick.”

OMG! Does he even realize how fucking insane this sounds? Allow me to explain:

Michael Lohan’s To-Do List After Death of Father:

1) Call Michael Jr.
2) Call Lindsay
3) Call Ali
4) Call Cody
5) Call OK! magazine
6) Photograph dead father from several angles in case anyone’s interested in buying the pics

This man is SICK SICK SICK.

And then he sells this bullshit to E!:

“I was holding him, laying in bed with him, when he died. Lindsay did reach out to me. She sent me a message this morning. She said, ‘Now papa has found peace and maybe we can find peace in our lives, too.’ “

This comes just a day after Lindsay publicly begged her father to keep the media out of her life.

So Lindsay’s taking to her MySpace blog to fight back. Today, she writes:

just going to put it out there, i have had no contact with my father.
and i hope he uses this time to keep mourn the loss of his father, rather than taking the time to talk to the media about me or anyone in my life.
better he just keeps his mouth shut.

on another note-
im having fun on the set of Ugly Betty, the cast is great, the crew is great, and it’s nice to be at work, doing what i love to do!

xoxox

Listen, Lindsay, some free advice: Have your publicist contact every major tabloid publication out there: OK!, People, E!, News of the World, InTouch, everyone. Tell them that anyone who runs a quote from or story about Michael Lohan will never, ever, at any point in the future, receive a quote, an interview or any manner of exclusive with you. You’re the one who’s actually famous here, sweetie. Take back control.

From her MySpace blog:

DRUG FREE
Current mood: betrayed
Category: Life

If you have something to say to me, say it to my face- that’s what i have believed my whole life- don’t be a coward and say it to others first, let alone all the media in the world- i think we know where the rest of this blog is going…

If you guessed it had to do with my father- then you guessed right! It really hurts, because i have tried- after all that my mother and siblings have gone through, i really tried to make things work- For the hope of having a father again-wanting things to change- even though people have said, some people will forever remain the same.

Having said that- the people were right, and he is yet to change- but this time, without his daughter by his side- He has become a public embaressment and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its obvious who that is).

He has no idea what is going on in my life because i have chosen not to involve him in it- His recent attack on my life and my loved ones is simply for an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME. Why he feels the need to comment on anything in my life that i may want to keep private, is beyond comprehension- If he really cared about me and my life, then he would learn to respect my wishes by staying out of it.

Can really blame her. Guy is a total knob. Between this and her girlfriend starting to look human life is looking UP for double L.
