Ali Lohan Turns 18, Celebrates With Lindsay
Lindsay Lohan's model sister, Ali, would like to be called by her full name, Aliana Lohan, now that she's turned 18. It sounds more mature. That's her reasoning.
Whatever name you call her by, she's now a legal adult, and the family feted Aliana with a birthday celebration at Beaumarchais restaurant in NYC December 21.
Lindsay, along with a group of her friends, mom, Dina, and younger brothers Cody and Michael Jr. - also celebrating his 24th birthday BTW - honored Ali/Aliana.
"It's clear Lindsay and Michael Jr. are very close. They were talking a lot. Michael had his arm around her. She seemed to be confiding in him," an eyewitness said.
She also went outside to smoke cigarettes with her mom at one point.
Later on that night, Playboy cover girl Lindsay "ordered a bunch of glasses of champagne for the table and switched to drinking that," says a source.
Yay. Later, Ali Lohan and her new face snapped photos on Lindsay's camera before her older sister got up to ask the restaurant staff to prepare a cake.
Although Aliana has been called an anorexic waif, she doesn't seem to be watching what she eats. Adds the eyewitness, she wolfed down the whole meal!
We hope it stayed down. Not to be cynical, but just saying.

Lindsay Lohan: Jag Jeans Model!
Lindsay Lohan is modeling with clothes on for a change.
The troubled but resurgent starlet, whose Playboy issue is flying off the shelves, has just become the face (and body) of Jag Jeans (whatever that is)!
In fact, the Jag campaign was shot at the SLS Hotel in L.A. by Yu Tsai, the man behind the camera for Playboy's Marilyn-themed Lindsay Lohan pics.
It pays to get out there and network, people!
Lohan continues to make sultry facial expressions, as usual, while tussling her hair and rocking barely-there jean shorts ... in an ad for jeans. Whatever.
"As Jag Jeans' endorser, Lindsay embodies strength and fearlessness, is unafraid to be who she is, and is fierce yet exudes feminine grace," the brand says.
Tsai said in a press release that, "Lindsay did not disappoint ... Lindsay was so involved with the shoot that she would go as far as adjusting items on the set."
"She even requested scissors so she could personally fray the edges of her black crepe blouse because she believed it would look better that way."
"Lindsay would take a hands-on approach to her shots. She was more than willing to change her hairstyle mid-shoot and even used her own personal jewelry."
No word if she stole any of it, but good to hear.
Will Lindsay Lohan Playboy Issue Break Sales Record?
Despite Hugh Hefner's mixed feelings at the start, the Lindsay Lohan Playboy issue has become a major hit for the magazine - one well worth the nearly $1M price.
Hef Tweeted that “The Lindsay Lohan January-February Double Issue is breaking sales records.” While he didn't elaborate, there's no doubt it's been flying off shelves.
But will it rank among the magazine's top selling issues ever, if not THE top seller? Not necessarily, although it's certainly one of the best performers in years.
Playboy sold around 7 million copies per month back in its heyday of the early '70s. Today, its circulation is closer to 1.5 million ... damn you free Internet porn!
Nonetheless, the Lindsay Lohan pics may well end up doubling Playboy's current average and move approximately 4 million copies, according to estimates.
Some of Playboy's best-selling cover girls of the last 10 years: Cindy Crawford, figure skater Katarina Witt, Pam Anderson, and Marge Simpson. Seriously.
Where will Lohan rank among those all-time naked greats? Will she be in a jail cell at the time she cements her name in the record books? Only time will tell.
Hugh Hefner on Lindsay Lohan Playboy Pictorial: Mixed Emotions ...
Hugh Hefner believes Lindsay Lohan's Marilyn Monroe-themed Playboy pictures will make the new issue a keepsake - proving some people wrong, including himself.
"The concept came from my editors," Hefner told People in a recent interview.
"I had mixed emotions. I could not have anticipated, quite frankly, that it would turn out to be such a newsworthy event, or that the pictorial would turn out so well."
Oddly enough, the two never crossed paths - even at the photo shoot. Even so, Hefner is well aware that lately, Lohan is "carrying around some serious luggage."
"Historically, Playboy pictorials are connected to stars at various times in their career," Hef says. "Sometimes it's the beginning of their career and sometimes it comes at a particular moment - as with Lindsay - that is intended as a turnaround."
Hefner says his wish is that "this is a born-again beginning for Lindsay" and that he wishes her all the best. "I think there's a rooting interest for her," he says.
Part of the reason the issue is such a big seller, Hef says, is due to his direction.
It was he who insisted on fully nude Lindsay Lohan pictures, after all.
During negotiations, "Some of the people around her said, 'No, no, I don't want her nude.' And I said, 'No, look, this is how it's going to be. This is how it is.'"
Hugh, you are the man. That is all.
Lindsay Lohan Playboy Sales: Off the Charts!
The Lindsay Lohan Playboy issue is selling like hotcakes.
We have no idea where that expression comes from or how it applies here, but a lot of guys are buying the magazine. That's the long and short of this post.
If her movie career doesn't pick back up, she clearly has a future in soft core adult material. The nearly $1 million she banked may end up being a bargain for Playboy.
Nwsstands around the country are not only selling out, they're re-ordering the issue due to the incredible popularity of the Marilyn-themed Lindsay Lohan photos.
The 25-year-old has also boosted subscription sales to their online service, iPlayboy (dot) com, even after the premature leak of the Playboy pictures online.
The cover (above) supposed to be unveiled during Lohan's heavily-hyped interview on Ellen, which was rendered moot when the actress blew off the taping.
In any case, it's been a tough year for LiLo - rehab, a shoplifting conviction, house arrest, jail, few acting gigs - but the naked truth is, it's ending on a high note.

70.5%Hope Dworaczyk on Lindsay Lohan Playboy Pics: WEAK!
Make no bones about it, Lindsay Lohan's nude Playboy spread does not live up to all the hype, according to 2010 Playmate of the Year Hope Dworaczyk.
"I saw that spread ... and I was not impressed," Hope told TMZ.
"I just feel like if I would have known I was doing a Playboy shoot, I would have worked out more maybe," adds Dworaczyk, who first posed in 2009. OUCH!
Dworaczyk, who had NBA star Jason Kidd's baby, has a point as well. The much touted ballyhooed "boobs, ass, and vadge" Lindsay Lohan pictures are sort of a letdown.
There is no actual vadge of courage first of all, and they photoshopped the crap out of LiLo to the point where her freckles and "fiery" features are totally gone.
At least in the case of Hope Dworaczyk, she was wearing body paint, but still resembled herself in the mag. With Lohan, it's basically a faux version of herself.
Finally, she ALREADY POSED AS MARILYN MONROE for New York Magazine in 2008, in a spread that was both more revealing and sexier. Okay, rant over.
You tell us: Lindsay Lohan in Playboy ...

Lindsay Lohan: PRAISED By Judge in Court!
There's a first time for everything.
Lindsay Lohan not only passed muster at her probation hearing today, she did so with flying colors, earning praise from the judge who has reamed her out in the past.
A very surprised Judge Stephanie Sautner began by saying at her hearing this morning in L.A., "Ms. Lohan, you have actually done your work."
That she has, and then some ...
The judge noted that Lindsay completed her community service early and even went to an extra therapy session - five instead of the mandated four - since last time.
Sautner said the Los Angeles County morgue was pleased by the work Lindsay has done there over the past month, or "at least as pleased as a morgue can be."
Her supervisor at the morgue has said he has been blown away, in fact, calling her work "stellar," and saying she's "a delight to work with and hard working."
Lohan gets props for turning it around, but so do Sautner and her attorney Shawn Holley, who set up a rigid structure - something LL's parents never provided.
Score one for the legal system ... for once. And for the guy who hacked the Lindsay Lohan Playboy pictures. Thanks to him, the issue comes out this week!

Lindsay Lohan Probation Report: Surprisingly Good!
Perennial troublemaker Lindsay Lohan will be back in court Wednesday for a progress hearing in her theft case, and will receive a glowing probation report.
We know, we can't believe we just wrote that either.
Judge Stephanie Sautner assigned a new probation officer who is "no nonsense" and "has seen it all," but nevertheless, she has been a model probationer so far and her report is brighter than the Lindsay Lohan Playboy photos after airbrushing.
The source says that Lohan has made scheduled meetings with her probation officer, has completed her court ordered community service requirement of 12 days by the progress report hearing, and attended all her psychological counseling sessions.
The 25-year-old mess has even completed more than the basic requirement of 12 days, and is ahead of schedule to finish her duties at the morgue by March 29.
Wow! She can be taught!
Lindsay, who channels Marilyn Monroe in the upcoming issue of Playboy, served a mere four hours of a 30-day sentence for violating her probation this fall.
She is on a very tight leash going forward, with any future violations resulting in an additional 270 days behind bars - a sentence she can't get around as easily.

Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe: Would You Hit it?
The cover and contents of the highly anticipated Lindsay Lohan Playboy issue leaked early, forcing Hugh Hefner & Co. to bump up its release date to this coming weekend.
As a tease, the first of many Lindsay Lohan Playboy pictures from inside the publication has judy been released, showing the star channelling her inner blonde bombshell.
In the promo photo below, the 24-year-old emulates Marilyn Monroe as she reclines with her dyed, white blonde hair resting on her shoulders, arm behind her head:
With her red glossy lips parted, Lindsay - who says posing for Playboy and embracing sexuality is part of nature - is seen pouting and staring seductively into the camera.
Some fans are likely feeling short-changed right about now. Not just because LiLo did the Marilyn thing before (see N.Y. Mag, 2008), but because she's arguably hotter as is.
Seriously, the wig, the lipstick, the airbrushing, the fake eyelashes, all the "classic Marilyn" poses ... does anyone care? If you're clamoring to see Lindsay Lohan nude at all, wouldn't you want to see the ginger in all her fiery, freckled glory?
It's a fair question. As is this, more general one:
