Lindsay Lohan at Atlantis Opening in Dubai
November 20, 2008 by Arieanna
As we suspected, Lindsay Lohan accompanied Samantha Ronson to Dubai (United Arab Emirates) for the Grand Opening celebration of the 1,539 room resort, Atlantis, The Palm. The resort sits on the world’s only man-made island, holding last night what was billed as the “world’s largest party”, a $20 million bash!
In a star studded event, the ocean-themed resort drew many A-list celebrities, from Lindsay Lohan to Mischa Barton to Mary-Kate Olsen to Oprah Winfrey. The 2,500 VIPs were welcomed with a fireworks show, a performance by Nawal and Kylie Minogue, and an afterparty with Samantha Ronson as DJ.

[edited by moderator] you look great!
yup go away hater this is a fan site if you dont like lindsay(even tho you should cause everyone makes mistakes)dont come on here
if u don`t like Lindsay, why u`re here, yup?! and Lindsay looks gorgeous! i knew it! the fight is just a rumor! Lindsay and Sam are happy together! i`m glad for this.. i like LL`s dress! Love u, Linds! xoxo peace
YOu looks so weird…very skinny omg
i waz there with my father he is one of the boared director and he is a busoness man s i was there and the party was gun
She doesn’t look healthy at all.. Very very skinny!
loves it
I would like to take this opportunity to express my general approval as well.
The choice of hair with dress isnt good,and that fake tan again.She looks great when she goes natural.Iam glad she is there with Samantha,she realy need to gain some weight,but i guess with all this travelling aroun.The other girls look very skinny too,especialy that Mary Kate Olsen.
woooooow,
tooooooo skinny…she’s starting to loose too much weight again, i feel like this tends to happen when’s she’s over stressing herself. I think she needs to return back to LA and take it easy. I know she wants to support sam but she does not look healthy…
oh and i don’t think mischa barton is really A list anymore….she isn’t anything as far as im concerned, what has she done since the OC ?!?!?!!?!?! I don’t think she’s done anything mainstream. She’s old news, really old news…
Is Lindsay trying to look like a fish/mermaid? Was ‘ocean themed’ referring to the dress code….She looks nice but I agree that her body is looking strangely skinny there…almost makes her head look too big! But Samantha is gorgeous…ever since she got her hair cut short shes been looking sorta like Shane from the L word….HOT!
i wanna go to that place! looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!
You’re right Green: An unhealthy strange kind of skinny.She looks unhappy too.That’s disturbing.
I don’t know, but if i was to judge by the appearance of her body in relation to stress i would say: this relationship isn’t working either.
Nice smile on pic#2 though…
because she and sam had a physical fight in london and when i was there at the atlantis party she was setting infront me i talked to her and stuff but she waz un happy

and, Lina! u r soo lucky to have this opportunity to talk with Lindsay..
So she confirmed that they had a physical fight and that she is unhappy?Hmmm.Thats not good,but whats worst is the fact she talks about personal stuff.If she is unhappy with Samantha she should break it and try and calm down.Dissapear for awhile and find herself.
Lina – I want to believe you, but I’m not sure Lindsay would tell you ALL that personal stuff especially about Samantha.
i wish i was there
Lina: are you saying that Lindsay told you that they´re having problems? What did she tell you? Could you be more specific please?
Besides, how did you see Samantha and Lindsay?… I mean, were they close to each other?… or they were in a weird mood or something…
I don´t want to believe that they had a fight… I really love this couple. But if the things aren´t ok between those two… well, I don´t know… I just want the best for Lindsay…
So everyone believes that Lina met Lindsay and she told her all these things? Maybe I’m just…skeptical.
Isnt one of the main qualities that each celebrity looks for in potential friends in CONFIDENTIALITY?
nooo she did not told me that is unhappy but u cpuld see it on her face easily and if you go to gooogle uj will see that she and sam had a fight but she did not told me she had a fight we just talk about stuff llikme how r u and how is everything with u thats it nothing else i was busy with my family
no i didd not asked her about her and sam but its obvios that she is un happy we only talked normal about how r u an how is your movie thats its but if u go to google and get the news about her u will find it but she didnot told me i was unhappy or we had a fight but u could see it on her face
thanks for the explanation. the sounds more accurate.
wow lina you are so lucky
ur welcome any time cristina and thank u for giving me the chance to explain i appreciate u thanks
Lina, I am glad that you talked to Lindsay. I am sure that she was nice in person unlike her the media try to villainize her
Now, there are several articles surfacing that Lindsay and Samantha are going to couple’s counseling, and E!News is reporting it; usually, E!News is right on the money with most of their reporting.
If this is true, I think that it is good that they are going to counseling; however, I’ve always suspected that Samantha might not be able to handle the overexposure Lindsay gets. Can you imagine going out on the streets, running errands, on a daily basis, having the shutterbugs taking shots of you AND crowding your space? I am not saying that it is Lindsay’s fault that the paparazzi is always following her around. She doesn’t deserve people coming at her aggressively while she tries to take care of daily business. By any means, I don’t like the dirty work that they [paparazzi] do because they act like unprofessional hounds. Yet, I highly speculate that Samantha isn’t used to it.
As of being possessive, I can’t say that Samantha is that way. From her blog entries that I read, it seems like she is very cool. I would hope that she didn’t get physical with Lindsay, either. A physical argument isn’t going to solve a problem. As I have expressed before, if Lindsay did dance up on Calum the Creep Best in a provocative way, that wasn’t a smart choice; however, Samantha shouldn’t put her hands on her for it. Yet, Samantha does have a right to be angry. If my fiancé was provocatively dancing with anyone, especially an old flame, we would have words. This is VERY disrespectful whether it’s in public or private.
I hope that Samantha and Lindsay work out their problems, but I sort of seeing this relationship not lasting long. It’s just because I think that Samantha and Lindsay are two very different people. I really believe that Samantha values her privacy, and I think that this has become a big problem with her private life being expose on a constant basis. Lindsay is used to it, but Samantha isn’t.
And you can be very much in love with someone, but if you guys are fighting more than trying to communicate and work it out, then, it isn’t going to work in the long haul. However, I hope that I am proven wrong.
Well i always said that Samantha is very shy and private and Lindsay open and affectionate and they fullfil each other.If they do break up now,it wont be good for Lindsay.It will come in a very bad time fo her.Also Lindsay seems very possesive of Samanth too,and seeks her attention all the time.If they do break up,i have a feeling the press will blame it all on LIndsay and there will be a backlash against her again.Samantha is mentaly very strong and has been a real rock for Lindsay.And if she starts dating men in a few weeks after the break up things will be worse.I wish they remain together.
You know.. there are web pages that are reporting another fight last night in Atlantis Hotel.
I don´t konw if I can paste the links here ( I don´t want the owner of this site to be mad at me)… you can google it though.
Nina:
I believe that Lindsay doesn’t need to stay with Samantha because Samantha is a rock. If Lindsay being stable has to do with Samantha being her crutch, it will never work during this time. From my perspective, for a relationship to work, both parties have to be bettering their individuals selves for their relationship. Both partners have to be independent and self-sufficient and self-reliant before they can rely and suffice each other.
If Lindsay is acting this way because she is dependent on making Samantha happy by changing her behavior, there were already existing problems in the relationship before. IF they are having these problems in their relationship, they will continue to manifest worse. It’s difficult to love someone unconditionally when there are certain existing conditions when coming into their life. When Lindsay started in the Parent Trap and started blowing up bigger and bigger after every Disney movie she acted in, her life was instantly in the spotlight. Then, when she started having her growing pains, the media started filming her real life and making into a soap opera for us all to watch.
Of course, this has been difficult for Lindsay. As she said in one interview and I agree with it, when younger people attend college, they experience growing pains. They go wild, get drunk, and partied….yet, these young peoples’ lives aren’t watched every second when they step out of their dorm rooms or apartments. So, as a younger person, Lindsay has had to deal with the external pressures of being a celebrity, of being mixed up in her family problems in the past, and having her growing pains being captured on film for the entire world to see.
Lindsay, I believe, has been trying to mature and deal with her demons. You can’t get rid of your addictions overnight; it is a long process, and those decisions that you’ve made are scars that you will have to live with for the rest of your life because they are imprinted on your memory; however, what counts is how you cope with those past decisions that you made.
I think that Lindsay still has a lot to work out and needs more time to mature. I think that she knows what she needs to do. In her recent Bazaar interview, I admire her for expressing that she needs to take care of herself before she thinks about a family and marriage. How are you supposed to give your best self to someone else when you aren’t optimizing giving it to yourself?
All this goes together with her current relationship with Samantha. I am sure that Samantha loves her, but I do think that Samantha has a hard time dealing with Lindsay’s life because, as I have said, she isn’t used to it. One can argue that Samantha should have thought about that before she become involved with Lindsay, but you can’t help who you love. However, at the end of the day, if Samantha and Lindsay can’t work it out, it was because of the maturity level and their different personalities. Samantha is 31 years old. When you are in your thirties, for most, it is your rites of passage. By the time you are thirty, you are supposed to have shown success, also you are wise and are becoming older. Lindsay is 22 years old; I remember what 22 was like. It was a time of still wanting to be fun, act flirty, and continue discovering what else I can do. I think that both women are in different places in their lives.
I think what might be best if both of them do part is that Lindsay needs to stay alone for a minute. She needs to cope with that feeling about being alone instead of trying to fill that loneliness with relationships. I know when I was single I filled my life with good friends instead of trying to date other folks because I always wanted someone who was going to be my best friend. Someone that I know that I can talk to all the time.
It will be sad if/when they break up, but if this continues, it will eventually happen between them. Unless something changes, this is what I predict.
….and that is why Lindsay should just be with me.
Literature&English, Nina
u r absolutly right
I agree,if Lindsay actually holds it together and stays alone to find herself for a while.But i cant see it.And she already has done alot in her short life.Sorry but she has slept with many people,she humiliated herself,by allowing losers to use her,and she also undermined herself and her great talent by focusing on partying rather than working.Sometimes in life when you dont have a parent to straight you out when you fall into traps,you have a friend or a lover.Lindsay is 22 yeah,but she is not young.She has lived so many things so quicly she had to work from such an early age,she become the provider of her family,she protected her mum from her fathers violence,she saw that violence and probably witnessed it heavily,she didnt had good parents,she has spended at least 6 years,from when she was 16,heavilly partying and doing drugs,she is 22 now.If she falls again in that trap there maybe a chance she cant come back up.She has a chance with Samantha to live differently,have some privacy,see another world.Its not accidental Samantha hasnt made one comment about her relationship with Lindsay,even now that Lindsay confirmed it.Its not accidental Samantha wont kiss Lindsay in public,and always is carefull not to show too much affection.Why?Cause she respects her.Cause she isnt like the rest who sold Lindsay out at the paps.I would have agreed with you if i believed Lindsay will calm down and focus on her life and herself when they break up.But i dont.I believe the press will get what they want.A vulnerable Lindsay heading for another disaster.The better move would have been for me,to sit down and make a decision commiting at each other.Not marry,but commit.Lindsay to attend a school or college for a year,to fade away a bit,Samantha to be the one working,while Lindsay can find herself in peace.Samantha is djing again,tonight at the Atlantis,i hope Lindsay stays at her room resting.
this happens often with couples, especially with couples who have been together so long. I’ve been hearing that the fight was pretty public (which for them is not common) and intense, there may have even been some physicality involved. They obviously really care about each other but there is a deep rooted problem that remains unresolved and its causing this tension. I might take a guess and say its their personalities. Lindsay seems more extroverted and (i don’t want to say party-loving but you get my idea) versus sam who is more low-key and introverted it seems. Opposites attract at first but can become difficult later. If Lindsay is more high maintenance than sam likes or if sam is too calm for Lindsay nature then it causes a strain. At least counseling is the right step for them but i think it also speaks to their realization of the seriousness of the fights and in turn their problems.
Nina,
I agree that Lindsay has been through a lot of rough experiences in her life than most younger people shouldn’t; however, to me, she is still rather young and doesn’t have experience in everything. I can understand what Lindsay has been through because I grew up in a rough family environment, and there are many responsibilities had to take on. I had to mature fast for my age; however, when I went off to college to further my education, I still was inexperienced about many things.
Yes, Lindsay had many relationships, and I believe many of them are partly due to her not wanting to be alone or feel lonely. I remember one of my college roommates who revealed to me one night that she never wanted to be alone. For her, being alone was scary. That’s why she always had to be in the a room with people–and I think this is because if there was no one there, she really would have to look in the mirror and face her own demons.
Lindsay is her own person; she is responsible for her own decisions and who she wants to be with, who she wants to include in her life, how she wants to live her life, and especially what kind of path she wants to travel. None of us can tell her what to do…and as much as I would like for her to explore other options like college or being alone to get herself together, it’s not my choice. It’s her choice.
Yet, from my own perspective and what I’ve been reading in the media, it appears, as I have said, what will eventually split Lindsay and Samantha apart, if they are able to get a handle on it, is the place that they are in their lives and their personalities.
I do think that Lindsay loves Samantha and is drawn to her because she is quiet. For Lindsay, it’s refreshing to have someone in your life that doesn’t place certain demands on you like others in the past. However, what will get in between them unless they can work it out is the fact that Lindsay will always be a public figure unless she decides to give that all away and live a more peaceful life–far a way from L.A. and the public scene. I just don’t think that Lindsay will give it up. She loves acting. She also enjoys fashion and other activities that draw attention to the spotlight.
And Green is right on the money when he/she has expressed that Samantha is the exact opposite. Samantha doesn’t want to deal with the paparazzi when she didn’t have to before she became exclusively, intimately involved with Lindsay. If you look at several videos that are you, you can see the uncomfortably Samantha gets when the paparazzi is all over them taking pictures. I don’t blame Samantha for getting fed up about it. I am sure that she kept her feelings inside until she cracked.
Yes, you hardly see Samantha kissing Lindsay in public, and Samantha has said that she refuses to talk about Lindsay in the press because she is Lindsay is her friend.
I am not saying one way or the other Lindsay will change if she and Samantha were to break up. All I am saying is that Lindsay will continue to have these problems if she can’t deal with her internal issues. We all have them; even if her and Samantha were to ever part, Lindsay may have these problems in her future relationships if she doesn’t take care of her self internally.
You can’t hide from yourself. Sooner or later, you are going to have to deal with. I truly believe that Lindsay is dealing with it, but it may not be a good time to be in a relationship with someone while she is trying to continue to work it out herself and improve on herself.

I agree about Samantha i have been saying it for a long time.I disagree about Lindsay though,i believe she should realise she wont have more chances to come back if she starts the heavy partying again.Time to grow up.I excused and understood her behaviour,cause she went throu so much.Time to realise she worths more and start respecting herself.
Literature and English, and Nina, and Lina, and everyone else, While I respect your opinions, and many elements of what you are saying are true, some are more true for certain mental types than others. In Lindsay’s case, it may be ( I think but I could be wrong here ) that She needs steady nurturing REAL Love, not clinging, possessive you’re- mine- I- own- you, type of love; but real Love, that Lindsay can use as a growing tool, not a ” crutch, though that is available as She needs it, but a REAL leanable onable Growing Tool kind of love, that helps her be all She can be, while taking in all that She I*S* right now . Think about it. How many sucessful people in the world, got so because the stress of who-care-about-me, was taken care of by that one -true-love scenario ! I Love Lindsay, I think She would be better off with ME, because I am offering that kind of becoming love to HER, if She will take me up on it. and this couple’s counceling isn’t going to work, because Samantha thinks that Lindsay is ” Hers “, again with that silly ownership thing. True Love is ” I am with You because I ask to be and You said ‘Yes’ and You are with Me, because You asked me and I said ‘Yes’ ” not ownership. NO I repeat for emphesis, N-O Relationship can be { ever } truly correct if one of the two partners does not allow the other their choice in friends, or friendships, or allow the other to make mistakes in judgement from time to time. I would not have blown up or gotten mad if Lindsay was my girlfriend, and decided to dance with Calum Best at a party, if She wanted to, I would shake my head a little ruefully [ and roll my eyes at her playfully ] and discuss it with her later, but I wouldn’t object, as long as She was with me because She wanted to be, and it was mutual, I know who I’d be leaving with that night, and it would be allright. In other words to be a complete person, one MUST be allowed one’s friends, as long as those choices don’t endanger the physical well being of the befriender, or the partner of the befriender ! You have to be allowed Your Friends, and I have to be allowed MY friends, and hopefully My friends will like Your friends, but if not, it isn’t the end of the relationship either. A relationship has to be based on more than that, or it cannot stand. And all the counceling in the world, cannot change the ” Ownership ” macho posturing ego of the one who posseses it. Lindsay would be better with me, I so say, still.
GOD Bless You Always, Lindsay D Lohan, I Love You Always, me, Larry T Robinson O.R. Tn.
Nina,
Let me clear state that I don’t want Lindsay to return to her former lifestyle habits. She has proven to herself that she is able to stay off of drugs and get rid of bad influences. I believe, from her interviews, that she has really changed her habits and is trying very hard to built up her career.
I am just saying, from the standpoint of her and Samantha’s relationship, IF they EVER break up, I think that Lindsay might want to seriously consider not entering a relationship until she is able to feel comfortable about herself and ready about it.
However, as I have said, these are MY OPINIONS, and Lindsay is ultimately responsible for her own decisions. No one in the universe can stop her from entering a new relationships, going back to exes, or make new friends. But, I do think that Calum Best isn’t a good person for her to be around. Maybe I am being too judgmental without the facts, but Best doesn’t have a great record. IF Lindsay ever decided to go back to him, it would just spell a lot of pain and trouble for her.
IF what they are saying is true in the media (95% what folks are reporting is usually bull), then I think that it’s good that Lindsay and Samantha go to counseling. In order for Samantha’s and Lindsay’s relationship to work, they are going to have attempted to be equal partners–and for me, that best way for this to work is for each person to treat his or herself well.
My thought process is that a relationship cannot be successful if there is something going on with both parties individually. Samantha, like the rest of us, isn’t perfect, and Lindsay isn’t either, but I do think that a lot of their problems (I speculate) are deriving from individual problems or views from each one of them. I believe that’s why they are having issues.
Larry R. I respect your opinion, but I also respectfully disagree with when you talk about you would be okay if Lindsay danced up on one of her friends.
I am not saying, by any means, Lindsay shouldn’t have friends. I think that she should have positive, supportive friends that will help her grow throughout her life. Yet, they are difficult to find in L.A. because, as you see, the people that she used to hangout around, in my opinion, were DEADBEATS. They are only caused her trouble. BIG TROUBLE.
Yet, I don’t see Best as her friend, and no, (if the rumors are true and I highly doubt that they are), you are right and said it before in another post: Samantha does not have the right to put her hands on Lindsay and vice versus. Yet, Samantha does have the right to get angry at Lindsay (without striking her or being emotionally or verbally abusive which I think that Samantha didn’t have anything to do with it because they would have been bruises on Samantha’s face if Lindsay clawed and scratched at her as drama rags reported) because Lindsay is dancing with an ex provocatively he is not a good influence on Lindsay’s life. I am sure that’s why Lindsay got rid of him in the first place.
Bottom line: I hope that Samantha and Lindsay and work it out, and both women continue to grow and advance in their careers and emotional stability. If they break up, I hope that Lindsay takes out the time to continue finding herself before she gets involved in another serious relationship. I think that Lindsay is certainly strong enough to rise to the occasion because she has done it successful well this year (yes, with a few mistakes along the way.)
Well already a video is ciruclating showing Lindsay inside a club,during a dj gig Samantha had.From what i saw the video is pretty innocent Lindsay just drinks red bull,and then water,but already many bloggers are twisting it.You see what i mean?She should watch out for everything.Everything.Everybody is out to get her for publicity.She needs someone right now who will support her nomatter what.Thats Samantha.Even Lindsays parents seem to have their own agendas.
i wished i was able to meet her. :/
since i’m from UAE – Dubai!
