Before we get into Lindsay Lohan’s latest cracked-out drama, I have a question. Is Lindsay getting collagen injections (or whatever else they’re doing these days) in her lips, or is the lip-puffiness something to do with drugs? Most sources claim she’s getting injections – but some are claiming that the puffy lip thing happens when you rub cocaine on your lips. I didn’t know that (I’ve never tried cocaine, and my experience with hardcore coke users is limited), but it seems like a slightly reasonable theory. My guess is that Lindsay is getting her lips professionally plumped with collagen or whatever, and she’s using coke. Just a guess!

Now, for the cracked-out shenanigans of the weekend: Lindsay Lohan rewarded a deli owner who had found her cell phone by calling the cops. Apparently, when a deli clerk ran out to Lindsay’s cab to check if she had left her phone, Lindsay said yes, but refused to verify the phone number. Lindsay tried to grab the phone, failed, and so she called the police. Dude… Lindsay called the police? Do you think she hid her stash before the cops got there? Where did she hide it? Wait… I don’t want to know.

Talk about high maintenance! Here’s how Lindsay Lohan repaid a good Samaritan who tried to return her cell phone: She called the cops.

According to gossips at the New York Daily News, Lohan reportedly left her celly on a deli counter in Little Italy. When a clerk ran out to the street and knocked on her cab window to ask if it was her phone, she said yes.

But before he handed it over to her, he asked her to verify the number since there had been many customers in the place. When she couldn’t, and perhaps miffed that he didn’t recognize her, she tried to grab it out of his hand. When she failed to snatch it away from him, she reportedly said, “I’m calling the police! I’m going to arrest you for not giving me my phone!”

A friend of Lohan’s called 911. When the cops arrived, the clerk handed them the phone. After the police verified it was her phone they returned it.

“I was just trying to be honest. Now I have police and trouble already,” the deli guy said. “Who is she? Is she a star?”

Well, we think she used to be.

Yes, I really do think Lindsay called the cops because the guy didn’t recognize her. And because she’s addicted to drama at any cost. Only Lindsay would get so pissy and need a cracked-out confrontation (with the cops!) because she couldn’t be bothered to verify her telephone number.

By the way, this is only for the die-hard Project Runway people – how weird was Lindsay’s appearance last Thursday? It was obviously filmed last year, but Lindsay was still wearing the same pissy, cracked-out expression she’s been wearing for the past few months. As commenter Trillion noted, Lindsay seemed to be the deciding factor in kicking off the crazy, delusional Samantha-Ronson-lookalike designer. If Nina Garcia had her way, she would have kicked off the guy who basically draped pantyhose on his model. But Lindsay had to subconsciously rage against the faux-Ronson.

Oh, and one more piece of Lohan news – in the Robert Rodriguez film that she’s attached to, Machete (which will be one of those few-and-far-between paying gigs for Lohan as of late), Lindsay’s character will be the wild, promiscuous daughter of… Robert DeNiro. Oh. My. God.
