Lindsay Lohan turned down New Year’s Eve offers

Lindsay Lohan may have stripped down for Playboy for a reported $1 million, but the actress has said no to several offers to host high-paying New Year’s Eve bashes, reports say.

Sources close to the actress tell TMZ that Lohan was offered a slew of opportunities to make money merely for her presence as 2012 is rung in Saturday night. But Lohan turned each one down, in an effort to turn around her party girl image, says the source.

After dancing up a storm last week at her siblings’ birthday party in New York, and skipping a schedule taping of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” shortly after having her purse go missing at a house party in Hawaii, Lohan reportedly thinks it is important to keep a low profile for New Year’s Eve.

Apparently, rather than hosting an event, Lohan is opting to spend New Year’s Eve at home with just a few close friends, perhaps going out to dinner beforehand.

Lindsay celebrates Aliana’s birthday

Now that she’s 18 years old, Lindsay Lohan’s model sister, Ali, would like to be called by her full name, Aliana Lohan.

Multiple sources confirm to Life & Style she prefers the name Aliana, because it sounds more mature.

And with her passage into adulthood, the Lohan family (sans father Michael) feted Aliana with a birthday celebration at Beaumarchais restaurant in NYC on Dec. 21.

Lindsay, along with a group of her friends, mom, Dina, and younger brothers Cody and Michael Jr. — who was celebrating his 24th birthday — ordered from a prix fixe menu that included tuna tartare and truffle gnocchi.

“It’s clear Lindsay and Michael Jr. are very close. They were talking a lot and Michael had his arm around her at one point. She seemed to be confiding in him,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style. She also went outside to smoke cigarettes with her mom at one point.

But a celebration wouldn’t be much without champagne!

Later on in the evening, the Playboy cover girl requested just that.

“Lindsay ordered a bunch of glasses of champagne for the table and switched to drinking that,” the eyewitness tells Life & Style.

During the big bash, Lindsay and Aliana snapped photos together on Lindsay’s camera before Lindsay got up to ask the restaurant staff to prepare a cake and champagne sparklers for the table. “The staff brought out cake and two brownie sundaes while everyone sang,” the eyewitness tells Life & Style. “Lindsay toasted with champagne.”

Although Aliana is super svelte, she doesn’t seem to be watching what she eats. Adds the eyewitness, “She had a lot of bread, a big salad and a bunch of her brownie sundae.”

Lohan fronts jeans campaign

Lindsay Lohan has landed a new modelling gig following her risque Playboy shoot as the new face of a top denim line.

The Mean Girls star’s spread for Hugh Hefner’s magazine was leaked online earlier this month, and the images proved so popular the January/February edition was rush-released.

Now fans of Lohan can see the actress in another saucy shoot – she has posed for a series of provocative campaign pictures for Jag Jeans.

A statement from the company reads, “As Jag Jeans’ newest endorser, Lindsay embodies the strength and fearlessness of the woman of today. She is unafraid to be who she is. She is fierce yet exudes feminine grace.

“Lindsay was so involved with the shoot that she would go as far as adjusting items on the set. She even requested scissors so she could personally fray the edges of her black crepe blouse because she believed it would look better that way.”
