I <3 Ronson

The TV Guide
Saturday, April 4th, 2009

Blaurgh. Last night was a lot of fun and I’m still paying for it this afternoon. I swear, I’m never drinking again … ever. But fun was had last night … for sure. After I dropped off David at the airport, I met up with my friend Johnny for a quick cameo at a TMZ party at Red Rocks on Sunset. I really love the TMZ crew … they are the coolest bunch of people and it’s always a good time seeing them out in social situations. Because they all work so hard (pretty much 24/7), it’s rare to see them socially but when there is a TMZ party, it’s deffo a party. After spending some time there, Johnny and I made our way to Bar Marmont at the Chateau Marmont to attend the I Heart Ronson party to celebrate Charlotte Ronson’s new clothing line for JC Penney. Mark Ronson and the Version Players provided the live music and Samatha Ronson provided the party tunes after … it was a really fun event:


I managed to avoid running into Pug Dilton but I did get to chat with Nicole Richie for a bit. Her bump is getting so big! It looks much bigger in person than it does in pictures. Mark Ronson killed it on stage and Johnny and I had a blast.

But our night was over yet … after the Ronson event, we made our way to Fubar to get our drink on … and boy, did we ever. I haven’t gotten that loaded in a very long time … I mean, it was fun at the time but UGH I’m so paying for it now. I had plans to go with Darion and Kirsten to Disneyland today but, alas, the trip got scrapped cuz of my near deathness. We’re gonna try and do dinner and a movie later. Blah, we’ll see.

Lindsay Lohan Is NOT Appearing In The Remake Of ‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’

But she is appearing with Samantha Ronson at NY Fashion Week shows
Friday, February 13th, 2009

Earlier today a ridic rumor began to be reported that Lindsay Lohan had signed on to appear in the proposed remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. This afternoon, Lindsay’s reps are categorically denying that she has signed on to do any such thing:

Freddy Krueger won’t be getting his claws on Lindsay Lohan! A rep for Lindsay Lohan tells Life & Style the star is not set to film the upcoming remake of the horror flick “Nightmare on Elm Street.” “It’s not true, someone got Punk’d,” her rep tells Life & Style of the latest internet rumor floating around. Meanwhile, if you want to ask Lindsay herself, she’s in New York City all week attending fashion shows. Today she was spotted front and center at Charlotte Ronson’s fashion show!

And front and center she was, here are a few photos of Lindsay with her girlfriend Samantha Ronson at The Promenade in Bryant Park where they were in attendance for Sam’s twin sister Charlotte Ronson’s Fall ‘09 Collection:


Not that I have anything wrong with Lindsay Lohan possibly getting slaughtered by Freddy Krueger’s nine inch nails, but we only *just* heard about this proposed Elm Street remake and I doubt that someone as “big” as Lindsay would be attached to the project so soon. That’s not to say she may not get the gig at some point … at least now she knows they’re interested. In any event, I’m pretty sure that we will DEFFO be seeing more of Lindsay at various NY Fashion Week events over the coming week … wherever will L. Ron show up next?

Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson Surface In Tokyo

A (fashion) show of support for Charlotte Ronson
Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson suddenly popped up in Tokyo, Japan last night to attend a fashion show for designer Charlotte Ronson’s new collection of clothing. With Sam on the decks and Linds in the front row, Charlotte’s show at Kokuritsu-Kyogijo was the place to be last night in Tokyo. Here are a few pics:


L. Ron are quite the jet-setters. It’s like one day they’re in SoCal, then they’re in Mexico, then they’re in NYC, then Washington DC, then they pop up in Japan. I think it’s so cool how they manage to stay together about 98% of the time. While there may be a few functions here and there where the ladies are separated, they mostly spend every waking moment together … and they are very lucky to be able to do that. I’m also impressed with their commitment to support one another’s family. Sam attends Lohan events and Lindsay attends Ronson events — it’s really very cute altogether. Who knows where in the world L. Ron will pop up next but at least we know they’ll pop up together.

The Ronsons Do ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ Magazine

Meet the fam
Monday, August 11th, 2008

Superstar siblings Charlotte, Samantha and Mark Ronson are featured in the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine … in their photoshoot, the sisters and brother channel the look of The Royal Tenebaums, behold:


Getting the Ronson siblings together is no easy task. After all, they have made being in demand an art form. Mark, 32, the hotshot music producer responsible for Amy Winehouse’s breakout album and whose own release, Version, went double platinum in the U.K., splits his time between London and New York when he’s not performing with the likes of Duran Duran or Jay-Z. Charlotte, 31, the downtown fashion designer who counts Kate Moss among her following, is busy working on her eponymous label and cohosting charity events. Her twin, Samantha, is an international DJ whose turntable skills are requested everywhere from Bel Air to Mumbai (though recently her most famous asset is Lindsay Lohan, whom she is rumored to be dating). “Not even on the high holiest of Jewish holidays do we all get together,” says Mark wryly. “But we get together individually whenever we can.” Even before tabloid targets Winehouse and Lohan entered the picture, the Ronson family was a source of intrigue. Mother Ann Dexter-Jones is a social darling who married Laurence Ronson, a British real estate heir and band manager, and then eventually remarried to Mick Jones of Foreigner. The couple (who recently divorced) moved the family to New York when the children were in grade school and had two more of their own: Annabelle, 21, is a Bard student and aspiring actress who serves as Charlotte’s top model, and Alexander, 23, is also a musician and DJ. “It would appear that we had a bohemian, rock ‘n’ roll upbringing,” says Charlotte. “And in many ways it was, but our mother was superstrict, and we also had the very English, proper nanny.” When asked about this, Dexter-Jones deadpans, “I used to be nicknamed Mummy Dearest” … The parallel between the Ronsons and the quirky prodigies, Chas, Margot, and Richie Tenenbaum, of the 2001 Wes Anderson-directed dramedy The Royal Tenenbaums isn’t just a clever concept. All are products of an unusual upbringing and artistic environment. “Samantha was and still is my renaissance child,” says her mother. “She always loved music and books and had a tremendous curiosity and intensity, whatever subject caught her imagination.” Though Samantha is recognized as a celebrity DJ, she originally broke onto the scene as a folk singer and songwriter. (Coincidentally, one of her tunes was featured in Lohan’s 2004 smash movie, Mean Girls.) Currently, she is remixing songs for Good Charlotte’s greatest-hits album and hopes to get her band up and running again. Lately, though, she has been in the spotlight for other reasons. When she discovered a small piece about herself and Lohan in Rolling Stone, she balked. “It’s like, ‘Oh, not you guys, too!’” says the typically press-shy Ronson. “I stay away from the tabloids. I don’t feel that I should personally have to defend myself to a magazine that I’m not a drug addict. I don’t do drugs. I don’t sell pictures of my friends.” When asked about Lohan, Samantha is polite but firm. “I’m not going to talk about Lindsay because she’s my friend, you know? She’s great. She’s also 22 years old. I think people forget that. With the Internet the way it is, one second we’re enemies, one second we’re best friends, one second we’re lovers, and then we’re broken up.” By press time, reports had trickled out on the Web that Samantha had changed her personal status on Facebook to “in a relationship,” while photos of her and Lohan holding hands had circulated. She is accustomed to the speculation. “Even the airport-security guy in Canada asked me, ‘So, is it true?’” laughs Samantha. “It’s like, ‘Oh, yeah, I’m telling you.’” Charlotte adds, “The funniest thing was, I bought a bunch of those tabloid magazines and didn’t even notice that Samantha was on the cover of one.” Lohan, however, is unsurprisingly coy when she replies by e-mail: “I love the Ronsons. They’re close to my and I respect all the work they do. Samantha and my relationship is a private matter.”

First off … I love the pics. Secondly, I had no idea that Charlotte and Samatha were twins. Thirdly, I love all things Ronson. I had the fortune to see Mark Ronson live in concert last Fall and was totally blown away — the man is such a huge talent. I am quite familiar with Samantha’s DJ stylings and have been a fan of hers for a very long time … that said, I had no idea she was a folk singer. I gotta get my hands on her stuff. I am not all that familiar with Charlotte’s fashion work but I’m sure she’s quite a talent if Kate Moss is a fan. You can read the full Harper’s Bazaar article on the Ronson sibs HERE … it’s a great read. I knew the family was insanely talented, I had no idea they were so quirky.
