As this bright and terrible day drones on, more details emerge about the latest Lindsay Lohan arrest. The Liz & Dick star reportedly slugged a fellow clubgoer in the face at Avenue early this morning, and was nabbed by the fuzz while trying to leave. She was finally processed and released around 7 a.m., leaving the precinct with a coat over her head and a throng of photographers screaming at her. Not a pretty scene. Nor was the scene of her arrest, which was caught on video, as Lindsay repeated over and over again, "Are you serious?" while the police, very seriously, led her away. In addition to these our-society-is-cruel-and-doomed videos, TMZ also has a photo of the alleged victim, who is careful to pull her hair back to reveal the mark where Lindsay supposedly walloped her and, hmm, what's that? Is it perhaps the faintest hint of a smile on her face? Yes, I think it is. Must be exciting for some rando from West Palm Beach to suddenly have the mighty and terrifying New York paparazzi force turned toward her. Speaking of people happy for attention, Lindsay's estranged father Michael told reporters that he "knew" his daughter was going to get arrested again, and then used the opportunity to get some shots in at his ex-wife Dina before getting all spiritual about it and saying "it's in God's hands." So he's still a total jerk, which is great. But perhaps the most depressing, yet most interesting, detail of this whole unclean affair is that earlier in the evening Lindsay Lohan was at the Justin Bieber concert at Madison Square Garden with her sister, Ali. There's an Instagram photo proving it, both girls happy and smiling with the wide yawn of the arena opening behind them. What possibility the night held, as they were shown to their seats! What hope there was for a nice time! And I'm sure they had one, for a while. Until the night grew darker — so dark that the innocence of the evening's earlier expectations couldn't pierce through. All that was left was chaos and rot, and Lindsay Lohan's whirling dervish fists, propelling her through the night, taking their furious toll, the sounds of Justin Bieber's plaintive plea to "just forget about the world, we're young tonight" drowned out by the thump of the music. Alas, Lindsay is not that young anymore, and the world, it seems, won't be ignored. [TMZ; Entertainment Tonight; BuzzFeed]
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber was having a slightly busy night of his own. Or rather, he did on Tuesday night. The Canadian chanteur had an Italian dinner with his management team at Asellina at the Gansevoort Park Hotel, during which Justin never stopped texting on his goddamned cellphone. Just text text text, all the time, text text text. How was his pasta? Could his manager try some? No way of telling, because he wouldn't answer, just text text text. All the damn time. Afterward, Justin and his crew were seen at Susan Sarandon's pong-pong club, SPiN, and you know what? Was Justin playing ping-pong with everyone, being social and having a grand old time? No, he was on that f-cking phone, excuse my language, that god forsaken phone, we never should have gotten it for him, texting away. Who was he texting? It's unclear, but it seems likely that it was one Ms. Selena Gomez, who was in town for a UNICEF gala that night, and who was seen with Herr Biebs later that evening at the Dream Downton, hanging out in the lobby restaurant Marble Lane and then up at the rooftop bar. And you know what neither of them was doing, as far as we can tell? Texting on those blasted phones. So it would seem that Justin found who was so furiously messaging. Aww. And then, one hopes, he went to bed to rest up for his concert the next day. And, somewhere else in town, unaware of the terrible future, Lindsay Lohan did, too. [Page Six]
