One would think that Lindsay Lohan’s suddenly skeletal appearance wouldn’t be anything too out-of-the-ordinary for New York Fashion Week, but instead the itty bitty (very boney) babe has had heads turning from all directions. According to sources very close to the 22-year-old, Linds has brought back a multitude of bad behaviors from her past and her late-night lifestyle alongside D.J. Samantha Ronson has been nothing short of detrimental.
“Now Sam and Lindsay are being marketed as the D.J./hosting couple and are earning good money off it, but that means Lindsay is going out more and more and hanging around a bad crowd,” an insider told Tarts. “It doesn’t take brain surgery to figure out how’s she lost weight so fast …”
We’re told hard-partying Lindsay is pretty much surviving off Red Bull, coffee and cigarettes, is hardly sleeping and making strange phone-calls at odd hours of the night. All that combined with the stress of her rocky relationship with Ronson is clearly taking its toll in a dangerous way.
“Looking at photos of Lindsay just over last month, there is obviously not only an obvious loss of weight but also a loss of muscle mass. A lack of muscle could lead to rapid weight gains in the long-term and a vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting,” commented Fred DeVito, Nutrition/Fitness Expert and Founder of Exhale Spa’s Core Fusion.
Pop Tarts spies also spotted a super-distressed Miss Lohan in the lobby of NYC’s Bowery Hotel in the wee hours of Sunday morning, the night after she was engaged in yet another screaming match with Ronson. The hysterically sobbing actress had her platform shoes in her hand as she blindly ran outside into the cold. We’re told Linds seemed so messy and upset that a few concerned guests followed her out for fear she could “do something stupid” but were caught in the paparazzi crush on the street. In an interview with Us magazine on Monday, Lindsay denied that there were any problems with regards to her Ronson romance and said the weight loss was a result of her hectic life and totally unintentional.
“That is hard to believe in this case because she looks very thin in her recent photos,” said Kenneth Best, D.C. of FBE Holistic Health and Fitness Center in West Hollywood. “She has possibly lost a lot of weight from nerves, and lack of sleep can put a person on overdrive where their body doesn’t have sufficient time rebuild and rejuvenate itself. The body begins breaking down its lean muscle mass for fuel and the person not only looks thin but ravaged.”
Lohan was also pap-snapped at 6 a.m. on Monday morning heading into Chace Crawford’s apartment, but apparently the Gossip Girl star and LiLo are just friends.
“Lindsay is in a really bad place and refuses to believe anything is wrong,” said our source, adding that one of the reasons she and Sam are still together is that Ronson has in the past reportedly threatened to write a tell-all book if they break-up. Friends and family have reportedly been putting pressure on Lohan to have her lover sign a confidentiality agreement as a true testament to her honesty.
So while things don’t seem to be looking too lavish in Lohan’s personal life, we hear her leggings line is doing just fine even despite the grave economic times.
“They are doing really well and selling off the shelves,” a rep at Los Angeles boutique Kitson confirmed to Tarts. “Lindsay came out with the right item at the right time and the right price point for her fans. And of course it helps that she’s wearing her label all the time.”
