Happy couple Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are the subject of a new piece of art that features them in the traditional and iconic American Gothic portrait painted by artist Grant Wood in 1930. LA artist Ben Tegel created the piece for the animated art show Name That ‘Toon that will open on March 27 at the World of Wonder gallery here in SoCal. In addition to being on display at the Name That ‘Toon exhibit, this poster artwork of L. Ron is also being used as the poster promoting Girl on Girl night at the Viper Room rock club … which, I suppose, is kinda fitting. Here is the art piece and some deets about how it came to be:

Lindsay Lohan is a piece of work—literally. Los Angeles-based artist Ben Tegel created his latest Lohan-inspired work for a poster promoting Girl on Girl night at the Viper Room rock club. The image is a take on Grant Wood’s iconic 1930 portrait, American Gothic, with Samantha Ronson as the pitchfork-holding farmer and LiLo as her wife. But what’s it all mean? The artist explained to me: “Lindsay and Sam are the all-American couple for the 21st century,” Tegel said. “I call it American Sapphic.” Tegel’s work is part of Name That ‘Toon, an upcoming animation exhibit at Hollywood’s World of Wonder Storefront Gallery. Other Tegel works featuring Lohan include Rehabflaunt, a group portrait-like piece with Lohan, Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty that was used to illustrate a story in Flaunt magazine. And if that wasn’t enough, Tegel was inspired by Lohan’s DUI arrest for another Viper Room poster that shows the starlet engaging in illegal activities while kneeling in a seedy alleyway. “I seem to have some sort of fixation with her,” Tegel wrote in an email. “She (along with Britney, I suppose) embodied the fin-de-siecle celebrity archetype. Her child-star-turned-drug-addict-turned-lesbian narrative seems to sum up the way fame operates in the 21st Century. I’m really interested to see what happens in the next chapter of her character’s storyline.” Name That ‘Toon opens at World of Wonder on March 27.

And pop art strikes again. Unlike the Octomom statue that we saw over the weekend, this piece of art seems to have a bit more wit and substance behind it. As poster artwork for the Viper Room’s Girl on Girl night, it’s brills. Illustrators have long used celebrities in this way to promote parties and clubs. I think it’s wholly fascinating that L. Ron appear to be the new American Gothic, ie. the portrait of traditional American family values. It’s brills. Imitation is the purest form of flattery … I really love this piece. What do y’all think?

Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson, who (on Friday) we learned made their way to London, England, were spotted at a Bar Mitzvah synagogue ceremony and afterparty celebration for Samatha’s half-brother Joshua. According to reports, Lindsay is contemplating a conversion to the Jewish faith in an effort to get closer to the Ronson family. HMMM. Here are a few photos of L. Ron enjoying themselves at the Mondrian Hotel where the Bar Mitzvah afterparty was held this weekend:

Lindsay Lohan is converting to Judaism in a bid to prove her devotion to Jewish girlfriend Samantha Ronson. Although raised a Catholic, the 22-year-old star announced she was planning to change her faith on her Facebook page. After jetting into London last week, Lindsay joined girlfriend Samantha at the Bar Mitzvah of the DJ’s half-brother Joshua Ronson at the Westminster Synagogue on Saturday. After taking part in the service, Lindsay then went to the nearby Mandarin Oriental in Knightsbridge to celebrate Joshua’s ‘coming of age’. Showing her seriousness about converting, Lindsay had also visited the synagogue the day before with Samantha and her designer sister Charlotte. Entering the synagogue, a photographer asked Lindsay if she was switching religions, to which she replied: “I’m trying.” Updating her Facebook status this week, Lindsay wrote ‘I’m converting’. Lindsay’s change of religion is sure to surprise her family, who come from a long line of Catholics. Her great-grandfather John L. Sullivan was one of the founders of the Long Island Pro-Life Party. Her estranged father Michael Lohan rediscovered his relationship with God during a period in jail and now works as a minister. Michael said: “She’s exploring Judaism right now. She’s explored the Church of Scientology, she tried Kabbalah, and now this. I think it’s just another phase. But either way, she’s involving God in her life, and I’m happy about that.” Lindsay is currently staying in famous friend Bryan Adam’s house during her visit to London. As well as religious duties, Lindsay has been spotted doing a spot of shopping on Chelsea’s King’s Road. The Mean Girls star spent an hour in Wolford, where she bought several pairs of expensive tights, before going to Nobu for lunch. Since Lindsay started dating Samantha last year, she has grown close to the Ronson family.

AWWW, how very Charlotte York of L. Lo to convert to the Jewish faith out of love for her partner. While I sincerely doubt that an update on a Facebook page and attendance at a Bar Mitzvah really means a total religious conversion, I think it’s cool of Lindsay to entertain the switch for Samantha. Irregardless of whether or not she is serious about converting, I fully support L. Ron growing closer together … whatever that may mean in terms of religion or anything else. Again, I doubt that things are this serious between the two of them and I think this report is exaggerating a bit but … I guess you never know. The couple are still very happily together … and to that I say, Mazel Tov!!

Sweethearts Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, I am happy to report, are still very much happily together as this week the ladies made their way to the UK presumably for a little work (on Sam’s part) and a little fun (on Lindsay’s part). Here are photos of L. Ron as they made their arrival in London yesterday and a couple of photos of a snack food run they did within moments of said arrival:

I am very happy to know that all the reports of discord that we’ve been hearing from these two in the past few weeks (and months) have either been fabricated, blown out of proportion or have had ZERO effect on their relationship. I don’t remember any of my romances ever being as overly-dramatized as the epic romance between L. Ron (at any age) but I am glad to know that the couple continues to soldier thru all the bullshizz and remain so happy together. I hope they behave themselves over there in Londontown … I don’t want no trouble. Or, at least, if there is trouble I hope it’s nothing to get all worked up about ;)

Lovebirds Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson upset a bunch of folks in Florida this weekend after the ladies abruptly pulled out of an in-person engagement at Passion nightclub inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL that was due to take place on Valentine’s Day night. According to Pink reader Nicole, who was among the folks disappointed by the cancellation, the whole thing was called off at the very last second due to a “fight” between the girls:

So my girls and I were ecstatic to go to Passion nightclub tonight at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan were hosting tonight. We heard she canceled so I called the club. The guy that answered said they got in a fight this morning and never made it on their flight out of New York. They just canceled last minute at 8PM. What a bummer!

Reports of a big fight are, apparently, true according to NY Post reporter Justin Rocket Silverman who was actually close enough to bear witness to the bust-up. In fact, the girls were so interested in who was around that they even let the paparazzi photograph the whole dramatic event. After the jump, check out photos of the epic L. Ron argument and read a first-hand (and very detailed) account of what went down on the very public streets of NYC …

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?

Here are a few new photos of Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson doing a bit of shopping together at Kidrobot on Melrose Ave. here in LA yesterday … it is the first time that we’ve seen L. Ron out and about together in quite some time:

Woot! These two have been out of sight for a while now … I was starting to get a bit concerned that something was amiss in their relationship. I guess it’s just that the pair have finally settled into a place of normalcy … so much so that the paparazzi has mostly given up on stalking their every move. I’d say that’s a win for L. Ron! Here’s hoping the ladies are able to enjoy a lovely Valentine’s Day together this weekend — whatever they do and wherever they may be. I’m just glad to know that things appear to be all good in the land of L. Ron.

Life and Style magazine is reporting that Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson quietly celebrated their first anniversary together on January 28 by sharing an intimate dinner together in Beverly Hills, CA. While I am very happy that L. Ron have successfully made it to the one year mark together, I’m not entirely sure how the magazine can be so sure that January 28th is the ladies’ anniversary (especially since it wasn’t until many months after the girls were rumored to be involved that Lindsay confirmed their relationship) … but it sounds about right to me, so I suppose CONGRATS! are in order:

And they said it wouldn’t last! Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson celebrated their first anniversary on Jan. 28. “They snuck into E. Baldi restaurant in Beverly Hills,” says a friend of the couple. “They had a quiet, romantic dinner.” Although Sam had to jet off to deejay in Toronto the next night, the two were reunited in Tampa to continue their anniversary celebration during Super Bowl weekend. As Sam worked ESPN the Magazine’s Next party, “Lindsay sat next to her booth in the VIP area and, between texting and smoking, took pictures of Sam,” says a partygoer. Sipping only Red Bull and juice, Lindsay seemed to be having a blast. “Other girls were crowded around, trying to flirt with her,” says the partygoer, “but Lindsay stayed focused on Sam.”

Love it! I shant go on, again, about how much I love L. Ron together but I will say that I am very relieved that those rumors about a possible break-up were completely wrong. You will note that we’ve not heard much from these two in the past few weeks, which leads me to believe that they’re more interested in working on fostering the health of their relationship rather than hitting the party circuit. It is quite an achievement for a couple to stay together for a year, especially in Hollywood. I honestly believe that these two will stay together for a long time to come. I’m not sure about forever but I don’t see any end in sight in the foreseeable future. Happy Anniversary, L. Ron!
