Lindsay Lohan Loves Chanel

Lindsay Lohan and her friend (and ridiculously rumored lesbian lover) Samantha Ronson, and Lindsay's personal assistant Jennie Munro are laughing hysterically in a hotel room in the Mercer Hotel. The threesome are searching for dish about Lindsay on gossip blogs on Ronson's Blackberry, and find some of the outlandish rumors hilarious. Most of the rumors have to do with Lindsay going out all the time. Here's what Lindsay has to say about it all.

"This is why it's such a big deal, and why I get so worried," she says, absent-mindedly braiding her hair, one hand clad with a fingerless, studded Chanel glove. "I'm at the point where...oh my God...I'm going to go out! I work hard enough and I know how to take care of myself. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow. I will say, though, that it's so much harder to stay sober in New York. Though it's hard in L.A. not to go out, it gets lonely. Being an actress is lonely, and I never want to be alone. I hate sleeping alone."

This meeting was meant to happen in L.A., a week earlier. That morning, however, Lohan's publicist called to inform me that her client was, a little ironically, in New York and that, yes, I had gone to L.A. for nothing. When I ask Lohan about it she simply says: "Yeah... I couldn't do it. My little brother [Michael] and sisters [Ali and Dakota] really wanted me to stay in New York." She shrugs, and goes to the mini-bar, from which she takes a large bottle of water. "There are Marlboro Reds over here!" she says triumphantly, to no one in particular. On the way back over to the couch she reaches into her huge black Chanel bag on the bed and gets out her BlackBerry. After scrolling quickly through new messages ("67") she discards it, then looks around, as if noticing her surroundings for the first time. "I like it in here," she declares. "It's...cozy."
