Lindsay Lohan - Lohan Denies Lesbian Relationship - Again
LINDSAY LOHAN has once again been forced to deny she is a lesbian after she was photographed apparently kissing her close friend SAMANTHA RONSON.
The duo - who have kept gossips guessing about the nature of their relationship for the last six months - were seen repeatedly embracing and cuddling up to one another at a party on rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs' yacht in Cannes, France during the early hours of Friday morning (23May08).
A source tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Lindsay and Sam may insist they're just good friends - but there's no denying their chemistry. They were holding hands quite openly and Sam was stroking Lindsay's wrist really affectionately.
"After partying on the main deck, they went downstairs to the chill-out floor. Escorted by five security men - who formed a 'do not disturb' ring around them - it looked like they were snogging (kissing) each other's faces off."
But Leslie Sloane, the actress' spokesperson, has refuted claims the pair's relationship is more than platonic, telling CelebTV.com: "They are close friends."

Amy Winehouse Not Charged Over Alleged Drug-Smoking Video
Following an investigation into Amy Winehouse's alleged appearance in a grainy home video, which purportedly depicts the star smoking drugs from a glass pipe, the singer has been cleared by police and no charges will be pressed against her, according to her publicist.
"Police have confirmed that no action will be taken against Amy Winehouse in relation to an investigation into a video handed to them in January," the rep said in a statement. "She was questioned by police last week and released on unconditional bail. They have now concluded their enquiries and no charges will be brought. Amy's bail date to return to Limehouse police station has been cancelled, bringing this matter to an end.
"Amy is pleased to be able to move on and concentrate on music and particularly looks forward to seeing her fans again at eagerly awaited festival performances this summer," the statement continued.
In January, the barely audible, two-minute-long video clip surfaced online, elevating concerns about the state of the singer's health. The video was hosted at British tabloid The Sun's Web site, and in the background, at one point, Winehouse's wedding picture can be seen hanging on the wall.
Last week, Winehouse was released on an undisclosed bail amount after being arrested for the second time in as many weeks. Winehouse turned herself in to face questioning over the widely circulated video, and was arrested in order to be interviewed. Last month, the singer got off with a caution for slapping a man in a bar.
