Lindsay Lohan spent New Year’s Eve doing what she does best – hanging out at a party. And being paid to do it. In case that wasn’t enough stereotypical Lohan behavior for one day, she spent the afternoon lounging around at Miami Beach in an especially attention-getting black bikini.

Poor old Lindsay Lohan. Despite elaborate precautions to avoid the limelight, the painfully shy actress still ended up as the centre of attention on Miami beach. Lindsay, 22, must have thought she had found the perfect disguise when she stumbled on a plain black bikini while out shopping.

Surely no one would recognise her in such an understated outfit? So imagine her horror a couple of days later when she discovered the flimsy swimsuit was actually attracting admiring glances from sunbathing fellas as she discreetly paraded up and down one of the world’s most famous seafronts.

Luckily Lindsay, who currently only has eyes for girlfriend Sam Ronson, managed to ignore the leering layabouts. The only lad she did acknowledge was a little boy in Spider-Man trunks who ran up and gave her a kiss.

Beware kiddo, you have no idea where those lips have been! If he’d kissed anyone other than Lindsay Lohan, I would have “aww-ed” and thought it really cute. But I think the CDC would have a real problem with any kid getting that close to Lohan. Actually, they’d probably advise against ANYONE getting that close to her.

Later that evening Lindsay and Samantha put on their best eveningwear – for Lindsay this probably meant some super-revealing top while Samantha donned her nicest pork pie hat – while they partied the night away at Mansion.

Ushering in the new year side-by-side, Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson hosted a big New Year’s Eve fete at Mansion in Miami on Wednesday night (December 31).

The “Mean Girls” starlet and her British DJ lover looked oh-so-happy, with Sam tending to the turntables while LiLo earned her cash just by showing up.

Following their big night on the town, Lindsay was spotted leaving her South beach hotel all by her lonesome on New Year’s Day.

Desperately not wanting to have her picture taken, the 22-year-old redhead covered up her face as she hurried past the lined-up paparazzi and out to an awaiting car.

I wonder if Lohan and Ronson have some “two for the price of one” package. As far as luring in clubbers, either one of the girls are probably semi-intriguing on their own. But put them together and that’s a winning package – not just in terms of star power, but also in terms of potential drama. They’re both known to have jealous streaks, though sadly no New Year’s dramatic fights have been reported. In fact it sounds like the whole trip went off smoothly – though I do think Lindsay looks pretty damn skinny in the bikini photos.
