Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson are yet to publicly confirm that they’re currently involved in a romantic relationship with each other, but that hasn’t done much to curb friends and loved ones from speaking out on their behalf. The latest person to offer her two-cents about the couple? Why, none other than Lindsay Lohan’s mom, Dina Lohan, who has decided to tell the world how crazy she is about Samantha Ronson. We’re sure Lindsay Lohan really appreciates her mother gushing to the press.
Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson recently attended the “Sephora Celebrates Ten Years of Glamorous” event, where Samantha Ronson served as DJ and Lindsay Lohan, by her side, served as a dancing loyal sidekick. Lohan did not comment on her relationship with Ronson, but Dina Lohan had a lot to say. The meddling mom told reporters, “I love Samantha. She’s like a child to me. They’re great friends and as long as my daughter is happy and healthy, it is what it is.”
Wait, Dina, could you explain that “what it is” part to us a little more thoroughly? That’s the part that seems most intriguing…
This isn’t the first time that Dina Lohan has spoken out about Lindsay Lohan’s relationship with Samantha Ronson. Back in May, Dina told OK! Magazine, “If she’s happy, I’m happy. That’s all I’ll say. Samantha’s great. I’ve known her and her family for ten years.” While it would be nice if she were a little more discrete, we guess Dina does deserve some credit for being so supportive.
Lindsay Lohan, for her part, does seem to be both happy and healthy. The actress, who has been plagued by substance abuse issues in the past, spent the night with Ronson without consuming alcohol, and even left the party at a reasonable hour. According to People magazine the duo left the event around midnight holding hands.

Pop singer Justin Timberlake is finally ready to pop the question to his girlfriend Jessica Biel, it has emerged.

The news that Timberlake was ready to ask Jessica to be his wife comes after the singer was seen looking at potential wedding venues or in his case, islands. The two have been dating since January 2007 and speculations are going around that they are already planning a family, a rumour, which had been sparked off when Jessica was seen not touching any alcohol.

“Justin is 27 and thinking about marriage and kids,” The Sun quoted a source as saying. “For the first time in his life he is feeling settled and has definitely decided to pop the question to Jessica.

“He is so happy with her. They spent quite a bit of time apart recently when Justin was working with Madonna. That made him certain Jessica was the person he wanted to spend the rest of his life with,” the source added.

Timberlake already has a favourite place where he would like the ceremony to take place, the beautiful West Indian island of Mustique. It has been described on websites as, “An exclusive, 1,400-acre island in the southern Caribbean with lush, rolling terrain cooled by trade winds, surrounded by pristine white beaches and clear, aquamarine waters.”

The reason he likes the island so much, is not only because of its natural beauty, but because it is privately owned, enabling him to ban all paparazzi from even landing there. “Although Justin has lived his whole life in the public eye, he feels his wedding is the one day that should remain private,” a friend said.

“To get all his close friends and family to Mustique will cost a fortune. But he can’t put a price on how he feels about Jessica. Then there are the rumours about a baby being on the way,” the friend added.

Why was she released? That’s the lingering question after Britney Spears was discharged from the hospital Wednesday over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist and against the wishes of her father, who has been named as her conservator.

Jamie and Lynne Spears, in a joint statement given to The Associated Press through their attorney, said they were “extremely disappointed” to learn their daughter had been allowed out.

“We are deeply concerned about our daughter’s safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk,” the statement said. “We ask only that the court’s orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted.”

Jamie Spears on Monday was named conservator of his 26-year-old daughter, and he and attorney Andrew Wallet were made co-conservators of Britney’s estate.

A conservatorship is created when a court determines a person can no longer care for his or her own affairs.

Though she arrived at UCLA Medical Center escorted by a caravan of police motorcycles, cars and a helicopter, the singer left without media attention. She spent the day dodging the spotlight as she drove around Los Angeles in a black Mercedes-Benz with an unidentified man.

But photographers soon found her and surrounded the vehicle at each stop. When Spears’ car arrived at the Beverly Hills Hotel, a detail of officers was sent to “keep the peace,” police Sgt. Mark Miner said. He said it’s common for such details to respond to reports of paparazzi causing a nuisance.

Spears’ release came after a series of legal developments in which her father fought for control of the pop star and her estate, her frequent companion was ordered to stay away from her, and her mother vividly described her daughter’s fragile state, drug use and the strange behavior that led to her hospitalization.

The troubled singer was hospitalized on Jan. 31. On Monday, Commissioner Reva Goetz ruled that Spears must remain in the conservatorship until at least Feb. 14. Goetz also appointed a physician to evaluate Spears’ condition.

On Friday, a court issued a restraining order against Sam Lufti, the man who’s been at Spears’ side in recent months. Her mother portrayed him as a Svengali-like figure who held her daughter hostage in her own home, drugged her, took over her finances and controlled the paparazzi who constantly surround her.

As her conservator, Spears’ father was granted access to all of his daughter’s medical records and authority to determine where Spears lives and who she sees.

Spears, who is in a child custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, was also briefly hospitalized earlier in January after police were called to her home when she refused to return her sons to a Federline bodyguard after a visit.

Spears has since lost all visitation rights to her sons, 1-year-old Jayden James and 2-year-old Sean Preston.

On Wednesday, Buck said a grand theft report was filed with the Los Angeles Police Department, alleging that someone took “miscellaneous items,” including a painting and jewelry, from Spears’ home. Buck didn’t say who filed the report or when.
