Jetsets with little sister Ali, explains that she "lost" herself with Samantha
Lindsay Lohan, who has been jetting around North America in the past few weeks, has made her way to France this week with little homeschooled sister Aliana Lohan in tow (who, clearly, must be such a successful scholastic that she is able to take time away from her studies to accompany her big sister on trips around the world when she should be in school). In a new interview with Closer magazine, Lindsay explains that she likes the way she looks (ie. she doesn’t believe she is too skinny) and reveals that she is now friends with ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson … she also confesses that she “lost” herself in Sam and is now looking to find herself again. Here are a few pics of Linds and Ali doing some shopping in Paris yesterday and portions of her Closer magazine interview:

Lindsay Lohan has denied having an eating disorder and has spoken about her relationship with Sam Ronson. The actress has been pictured looking painfully thin since splitting up with DJ Sam and there have been rumours she has stopped eating through the upset. “I like the way I look,” the 22-year-old said. “I’m not starving myself, contrary to popular belief. I’m criticised when I’m too heavy or too thin.” Lindsay broke up with girlfriend Sam – sister of Mark Ronson – just last month but maintains they are still close. “We’re friends. I lost myself a bit with Sam, like many people do when they’re in a relationship,” she continued. “I want to be on my own for a while. I need to care about myself now. I didn’t get into this business to be a celebrity. I’ve been a target for a long time.” She is even considering a move to London because “people aren’t as judgemental”. The Mean Girls star, who has had a couple of stints in rehab for drink and drug problems, also bemoaned the way she is portrayed in the media and the effect it has on her career. “When I was a kid,” she revealed. “I thought movie stars were people who wanted to act in great movies. It’s all I ever wanted to do, but I’ve become this girl who’s seen as someone who parties, who wants to be photographed all the time, isn’t focused and can’t be on time. “That’s not true. There are other actresses my age, like Scarlett Johansson, and I don’t get the same opportunities.”
My advice for Lindsay would be that if you don’t want to be seen as a young actress who “parties, wants to be photographed all the time, isn’t focused and can’t be on time” then the first thing you have to do is not do those things. I love me some Lindsay but she is guilty of all of those things … in repeated instances. What she needs to do is not rail against the persona she has, it’s to move forward and change people’s perceptions. You can’t really undo the past by denying it … you have to prove to people that you have changed for the better. Lindsay has a long way to go to show growth and change but she can deffo do it … it just remains to be seen if she’s serious about actually changing (cleaning her home might be a good place to start). I guess we’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, Lindsay will be shopping and mentoring her little sister … IMHO, she can’t possibly do a worse job of that than mama Dina Lohan.
