STRIPPERS at the grand opening of Sapphire East in the old Scores space on East 60th Street the other night were telling guests they couldn’t disrobe until deejay Samantha Ronson finished her set at 10:30 p.m. “We were told she’s so girl-crazy, she can’t concentrate if we strip,” one ecdysiast giggled. Ronson refused to be photographed with Pam Anderson or to do any publicity, fearing she’d be asked about Lindsay Lohan. Anderson, an animal-rights activist, was also shunned by Malcolm Harris, who designed the Prime 333 Steakhouse inside Sapphire East. Harris was attacked by Anderson’s favorite charity, PETA, after he once commented to a fashion blog: “I don’t wear random fur, I only wear ermine — and I never wear fur in the summer.” Harris called Anderson “a hypocrite and loser for even being there,” said our insider. Anderson, wearing “a $10.99 jumpsuit,” posed with Steve Schirripa and Vinnie Pastore before they all left early because the air conditioning wasn’t strong enough.

Sneaky, sneaky!

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have been meeting up on the sly – and it looks like things may not be over for the twosome.
Shutterbugs caught Ronson, 31, leaving Lohan’s pad at 6 a.m. Friday after spending the entire night with her ex.

Lohan, 22, was spotted heading into Ronson’s home later that night and didn’t leave until the next morning.

Coincidentally – or not – Ronson changed her Facebook relationship status from “single” to “it’s complicated” around the same time.

A source close to Lohan tells People magazine that the “Mean Girls” star’s alarming recent weight loss is an attempt to get attention from Ronson.
“She is a self-destructive person,” Lohan’s “friend” says. “It’s all part of her cry for attention. She wants Sam to see how bad she’s hurting and she wants Hollywood to see her as a ‘tortured artist’ who is wasting away … This is a symptom of something much bigger – a desperate need to be noticed.”

Lohan told Ellen DeGeneres last week that she doesn’t think this is the end for the couple.

“I really care about Samantha and we’ll see what happens,” she said. “Maybe when we’re fully in the right place … I love her.”

Insiders say the ex-lovers keep running into each other at Los Angeles hot spots. Sunday night, Lohan went to dinner with her mom, Dina, and sister, Ali, at Cecconi’s in West Hollywood, and sure enough, “Sam was there, too. They talked for a little and seemed polite, but it was a very brief encounter,” said one source. We also hear the two had an awkward run-in the other night at the Chateau Marmont.

That didn’t take long! Word has it Lindsay Lohan’s ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson already has moved on to someone new.

According to a spy at the Chateau Marmont (site of that Ronson party from which Lohan was banned last Friday), the hot DJ was ”clearly with another woman — somewhat of a Lindsay look-alike, but with very dark hair,” at that event.

”They sure looked very cozy, if you know what I mean,” said the hotel source who was at the party.

• Another Ronson pal reports a mystery woman named ”Cindy” — and matching the description of the Ronson date at the Friday night fete — was seen coming out of Ronson’s Los Angeles home on Sunday.

• As for the deeply distraught Lindsay, she’s currently being comforted by her mother, Dina Lohan, who suddenly has popped up in Los Angeles after being mostly absent from the LiLo scene in recent months.

”She’s back to straighten out Lindsay … and hopes to get her back into rehab, or at least some kind of counseling,” said a former Lohan assistant.

There have been a number of reports Lohan has been seen drinking again, though the actress denies she’s fallen off the wagon, even in the face of her relationship collapsing.

FRESH off another failed relationship, Lindsay Lohan is “the saddest girl in the world right now,” a friend said.

After a tumultuous year of breakups and make-ups, the starlet and deejay Samantha Ronson got into a big fight last week. A source close to Ronson told Page Six, “They are definitely broken up — hopefully this time it’s forever.”

Ronson’s family had a tearful Lohan barred by security from the party for Sam’s sister, Charlotte Ronson, at Bar Marmont in Los Angeles on Friday night. The next day, Ronson had the locks changed on her house in the Hollywood Hills.

Lohan had booked a room at the Chateau Marmont right below the Ronsons. Sam Twittered Lindsay over the weekend: “Please leave me alone, and stop staying in the room below me. You’ve woken me and my mother up. Go to bed.” Lindsay replied: “You broke my heart. Now go away.”

Adding to the drama, according to one source, is the fact that “Lindsay is on hiatus with her publicist because she’s not working or booking jobs.” The friend said, “She is completely unmanageable. It has never been possible to control her or advise her. Lindsay needs to get psychiatric help.

“Her friends are really sad for her, but she’s out of control, and now she’s all alone.”

Another friend of Lindsay lays some of the blame for her condition on Samantha, who “became more famous because of Lindsay and made more money when Sam brought her along to her deejay gigs.”

And Lindsay’s mother, Dina Lohan, who is with her daughter now in LA, also gets some blame. A pal of Lindsay said, “Dina is begging Lindsay’s friends to go there and help her. All of Lindsay’s life, Dina never acted like a role model. She only ever wanted to be her friend. Lindsay keeps getting used, and she never stood a chance at happiness.” Ronson did not return e-mails.

She was shunned from the party and locked out of her love nest. Now, Lindsay Lohan exclusively tells E! News that reports of her breakup with Samantha Ronson are true: “We are taking a brief break so I can focus on myself.”

The decision was made Monday morning following a rather rough weekend. First, the 22-year-old was barred entry from a Ronson family party on Friday. Then a locksmith was seen paying a house call to Ronson’s abode, where Lohan had resided in recent months.

Still, as of Sunday, insiders insisted the pair had not broken up and blamed the latest drama on Ronson’s family members, who were supposedly engaged in a “smear campaign” to convince the DJ that Lohan was “an outcast and a bully, or a wacko.”

The couple’s tempestuous relationship dates back nearly a year (they reportedly celebrated their anniversary in January) and has survived constant rumors of rifts and splits that often proved false.

In fact, just last week, both Lohan and 31-year-old Ronson were refuting the latest round of breakup speculation.

While Lohan is said to be struggling with the breakup and holding out hope the two will get back together, Ronson seems in a better place, writing on her MySpace page today that “aura in pleasanton is very pleasant.”

As for what’s next for the newly single Lohan? She is logging time with her family in L.A. and, as she recently told E! News, on the hunt for more acting work.

Lindsay Lohan is finally admitting she and Samantha Ronson broke up, which Usmagazine.com reported earlier today.

“We are taking a brief break so I can focus on myself,” the 22-year-old tells E! News.

Ronson changed her relationship status to single on MySpace Monday.

On Sunday, the actress told Us reports she’d split from her DJ girlfriend were “not true” — despite multiple sources confirming the opposite.

“This time, Sam means it,” a source told Us Friday.

Samantha had security block Lohan from entering a party for sister Charlotte Ronson Friday night.

Afterwards, Lohan wrote to Samantha on Twitter: “So-you win, you broke my heart. now go away. i loved you”

On Saturday, Ronson had the locks changed on her Hollywood Hills home, where Lohan had been living for the past six months.

The couple dated on and off since May 2008.

Reports have been running rampant that a “financially-strapped” Lindsay Lohan has been spending all of Samantha Ronson’s hard-earned dollars, but according to insiders Ronson only earns the big bucks she does because of her romance with the high-profile actress.

Tarts has been told that prior to her relationship with Lohan, Ronson was lucky to earn $5000 a night but since dating the starlet her rate has doubled and even gone up again a little more in recent times. But it gets better — apparently these days it is often written in to Ronson’s contract for certain bookings that if she brings her girlfriend to the gig she pulls around $25,000. So is Lohan the main reason Ronson is who she is and earns what she earns anyway?

“A few years ago it was the same thing with AM, he earned more when he brought (then-girlfriend) Nicole Richie,” said an insider. “But he’s a very talented DJ and has since built a career of his own.”

A rep for Ronson did not respond for comment.

So while Lind’s career in front of the camera may not exactly be running hot right now, the 22-year-old’s business ventures are going strong even despite the depressing economy and her well, occasional wild ways. According to West Hollywood boutique Kitson, her leggings line 6126 has been literally running out the door since its launch in July last year and that is with most consumers not even realizing LiLo is behind the brand.

We’ve also confirmed she’s already designing for the upcoming season — the party princess even gave up her Monday afternoon to give her showroom and buyers at Los Angeles Market Week a sneak peak as she desperately wants to make it big in the business world.

Miss Lohan also just inked an exclusive deal with cosmetics giant Sephora to release a tanning mist “Seven Nyne” which will hit the stores nationwide May 1st.

“Lindsay is determined to be on her best behavior and is working extra hard,” added a source close to the starlet. “She has been told if she steps out of line even a little her deals will be screwed and she obviously doesn’t want that to happen.”
