Distance Makes The Heart Grow Fonder
BFFs (cuz I’m not exactly sure what else to call them just yet) Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were snapped exchanging poignant goodbyes on the set of Lindsay’s new movie Labor Pains this past Tuesday afternoon which led me to believe that the ladies might be spending a bit of time apart … it turns out that they weren’t really separated for all that long cuz they flew together to NYC yesterday and hit the town running:
The besties, let’s call them RoLo, managed to evade attention on their flight to NYC by being on the same plane with David Beckham who, according to E!’s Marc Malkin, got all the attention from the paps and the common folk (which I’m sure RoLo didn’t mind). The gals did show up, hand-in-hand, at the Angel Orensanz Foundation for the Sephora Celebrates Ten Years Of Gorgeous event in NY last night … lookin’ as happy as can be together. Again, I have to say that I’ve never seen Lindsay look so happy, like ever, as she is when she’s with Samantha. I am very hesitant to make assumptions about their relationship. There are many signs pointing to the belief that the two are very close but I’m not quite comfortable making assumptions about any supposed romantic involvement — there are enough folks doing that already, I don’t need to add to the mix. It’s clear that, at the very least, Lindsay and Sam are really good, really close friends and they seem very, very happy together. Whatever it is that they’ve got going on, I’m thrilled for them both :)

I don’t know, even with my very best girls, I never acted so close to them that I was constantly holding their hand and kissing them on the lips. Seems way past the friendship line at that point.

Lindsey’s hair looks really good – are those extentions? Regardless, this relationship seems to be working for her. Hope she’s happy and staying clean.

I agree with Jane. Whatever their relationship is seems to put Lindsay in a good place where she’s staying clean and keeping out of trouble. Their relationship is for them to define, not us.

oh come on, I think these two outed each other ages ago.
Trent, please stop being so politically correct.
Lesbians rule.
July 18th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Well, Trent, if you won’t I will…so obviously together. Signed, Captain Obvious.

Whatever the status… Lindsay looks great in these pics.
July 18th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
Nice high-tops……………………………… NOT.

She finally looks good here. Killer legs, Linds.
July 18th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
C’mon, if Sam was a man, everyone would totally say they are dating. Same diff. Is it just inconceivable that LL would date..gasp!..a WOMAN? Sheesh.
Signed,
Irritated Lesbian

aww trent, i love you and i don’t want to be making assumptions either but isn’t it pretty obvious that they’re together?
and i agree with lola.. if samantha were a man, nobody would hesitate to call them a couple
i think it’s great though, because lindsay seems to be really happy and i find them to be sweet together

She seems happy. She probably feels more respected and cared for by Sam than any other MALE she’s been in a relationship with. She needed a woman to repair her corroding self-esteem- most men just bash it. Looooveee you Trent!
July 18th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
Trent, I just wanted to say how classy you truly are! Each time I read your site, which is every day, I’m delighted to see that you throw no punchs, make no assumptions and refrain from choosing to believe anything without proof. Regardless of whether of not these two girls are together in a romantic relationship, you’re right to point out that Lindsay looks happy and healthy for the first time ever. Thank you for making the focus on that over their potential relationship.
Anyone out there who’s ever been subject of whispers, questions and comments regarding their sexuality can attest that it can be stressful if you’re not ready to talk about it when it’s a new revelation. When, and if, she ever decides to explain her relationship is completely her own choice. People should just be happy for her. She clearly is!

It’s been fun watching you over the years go from teacher to semi-celeb yourself and you are a fun read. But it’s getting weird Trent.
Sam Ronson was the dj at your party and you called her your good friend (we can assume by association her gf LL is a now a good friend too). OK, more and more you’re friends with the people you make a living commenting about, we get that.
But following their official party line and playing along with their jr. high approach to love instead of skewering it, especially as an openly gay man — isn’t this, well, messing with your own integrity?
July 18th, 2008 at 11:17 pm
So long as LL is healthy, and concentrating on her career that’s all that matters. They are so cute together! I love Sam! People who insult her appearance just don’t understand the whole boyish Lesbian thing. But Lesbian’s totally get it!

I just wish Ronson would get some concealer (or sleep once in a while) and make some damn effort with her appearance, but I hope she makes LiLo happy and keeps her healthy, if she does that then she’s a great influence even if she does dress like she went back to the 80’s and raided Miami Vice’s wardrobe…

Cinnamon, I agree completely. LL and Samantha a) live together b) are constantly photographed together holding hands c) kiss on the lips etc- LL refers to herself as “Lindsey Ronson” on her MySpace page– how much more evidence do we need?
I have to say, I have been reading your site for years and I miss when you would actually say negative things about celebs. God knows, I much prefer the nicer, classier approach, and I don’t read blogs like Perez or the Superficial b/c they’re mean and often sexist, but there’s a difference between being mean and being honest.
July 20th, 2008 at 7:48 am
It’s not about “being honest” but sexuality and coming out as gay can be a very emotional, very private and very traumatic experience. i would never want to impose any extra undue stress on anyone who is may be dealing with coming out. until they officially say that they are together, who’s to say? girls especially can be very close and yet have nothing sexual between them.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:13 am
ugh, anything for a publicity these days for these fickle celebrities.
July 20th, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Does no one else see that it looks like Samantha has pissed her pants?
July 20th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
“Until they are officially together, who’s to say?”
With all due respect — you generally do, poking fun and creating hook-up names all the way. I think if you really believed that and acted that way you’d be out of a job, right? Your schtick is commentary usually on the ridiculous ways celebrities act like they’re in a different universe without the same rules (this Sam/LL thing is a great example). Le News but not news.
These two are not in anyway attempting to make their PDA discreet let alone private. Flaunting is a word that comes up. This isn’t like any regular GF-only behavior I’ve seen or experienced either. If this is a traumatic event, the last thing they should be doing is what they’re doing — all over the place. That’s what’s so skewerable and you’re usually so great at it.
Very cool you’re protective of your friends and dealing with an outing in progress. Maybe you should consider what old school goss seems to do and just not talk about the weird things celeb friends or the almost open are up to? I think we can all happily focus on other happenings.

“girls especially can be very close and yet have nothing sexual between them.”
If Ronson was straight the possibility of them just being close friends would be reasonalbe. However…
Can a butch lesbian really stay only a friend to an attractive woman as Lohan, after such close and lasting relationship??
