Lohan/Best Dust-Up


Lindsay Lohan's relationship with Calum Best may already be hitting the skids. According to Page 6, the couple had a prolonged and quite public row at the Soho Grand in New York Monday night, which featured the two screaming back and forth at each other, and Calum's clothes becoming torn. Witnesses say they began fighting in the penthouse, then came down to the lobby and continued going at each other before getting into the elevator together and returning to their room. The unpleasantness is believed to have been touched off by Lindsay's realization that Calum is in fact a one-hundred-percent gold-plated dirtbag. Page 6's ubiquitous spies had Calum collecting the phone numbers of models at Cipriani Downtown Sunday night, where he was supposed to be partying with Lohan. Lindsay, in typical fashion, then gained a measure of revenge on Calum by spurning him in favor of her friends at the club Stereo Tuesday night. Those friends of Lindsay's, by the way, would just as soon see Calum disappear. One of them was reportedly overheard accusing Calum of "using" Lindsay, ostensibly for publicity purposes.

One forgets sometimes - mostly because she looks about forty - that Lindsay is still not even 21. Yes, she's put in a lot of nights on the party circuit and what-not, but that sort of experience does not necessarily add up to worldly wisdom. Calum, on the other hand, is in his late 20s, and obviously knows exactly what he's doing. If he is using Lindsay, it's possible that she doesn't see it - or if she does see it, is not really equipped to deal with it. Getting back at someone by shunning them in favor of your friends is the way a petulant teenager deals with that sort of thing - a grown, experienced woman would've long-since learned more effective ploys. It seems that Lindsay has simply roped herself a shameless user who cares nothing about her, and indeed, is amusing himself by publicly trying to embarrass her. No doubt, the turmoil related to this soon-to-be-broken relationship will serve as the impetus for yet another downward Lohan spiral, a coke binge, some public drinking and semi-nudity, etc., All we can hope is that there are photographers present.
