Lindsay Lohan has been working the “I’ve gotten really thin from too much stress not too much cocaine” angle for the better part of the last week. And apparently Lohan thinks people are buying it, because that’s still the line she’s feeding reporters. Last night she partied it up with Samantha Ronson at an Oscar party for Sean Penn. And when she was asked by a reporter about her weight loss, she gave the same old stress line. But the best part was the reason for her stress: too many meetings over movie roles.

Lindsay Lohan is still eating…she’s just stressed out. “I haven’t changed my eating habits,” she said at the Mercedes-Benz Oscar party at the Montage Beverly Hills, where she was excited for Sean Penn’s big win. So has she upped her gym routine?

“I go to yoga once a week, but I don’t go more than that because I’m too lazy,” Linds said, adding that her recent weight loss is probably due to stress.
So what’s she stressing about?

“A lot of meetings for movies and stuff,” she explained. While we haven’t heard of any new movie castings for LiLo, she has a few other non-cinematic projects in the works, including a self-tanning line for Sephora and a diamond jewelry line.

Linds still seems to be persona non grata in Hollywood. I doubt she could get a meeting with anyone more important than the valet at most of the film studios. The look on her face is priceless when the reporter starts asking her about her weight. Lindsay looks down, and her eyebrows – which already appeared too thick, dark, and mean – furrow while she looks really pissed for a half a second. Then she gives her tried and true excuse.

I’m sure that making a spray tan line can really be stressful. It’s got to be hard to figure out what shade of carrot looks best on different skin tones. And then balancing that with her jewelry line (there’s a really dull explanation in the video about how a diamond is not a stone… or something), and her demanding film schedule… well I’d drop fifteen pounds too. I’m sure it has nothing to do with drugs – after all, Lindsay did refuse a glass of champagne. Which is good – with such stressful career demands, she wouldn’t want a hangover.
