In June, Lindsay Lohan flew to Paris to meet with Ungaro following rumors that she would be hired by the fashion house as their “creative consultant.” Today, a new press release from Emanuel Ungaro confirms Lindsay’s appointment, effective immediately, in the newly-created position of Artistic Advisor.

The release stats that Lindsay has already been collaborating on the Spring/Summer 2010 runway collection which will unveil on October 4th during Paris Fashion Week (so we can likely depend on Lindsay flying to Paris for that!).

Ungaro has also appointed a new Chief Designer, Estrella Archs, who will work closely with Lindsay. Lindsay will oversee everything Archs does, though they may not always agree! They will use “their combined talent, instincts and intuition to define and promote the Ungaro brand” as the fashion-house attempts to change the vision of the company to be as much consumer-led as it is designer-led.

“Twenty-first Century muses are extroverts whose personal style and experience gives them a strong creative and artistic focus. Thus was our vision of combining the eye of a fashion creator (Ms. Archs) with the eye of the ultimate luxury consumer, a celebrity (Ms. Lohan). Mr. Ungaro’s success was based on his genius for design and his controversial eye to whom his consumer was. Lindsay is a world consumer with a clear eye for fashion.”

In an interview (and photoshoot!) with WWD, Lindsay shares that she hopes to make Ungaro into a younger brand:

“When I’m involved in a project, I give my all to it. I feel like there’s a correlation between everything I do, whether it’s pop music or film. I’ve always played a big part in what I wear, the costumes. Clothing is something that’s so expressive in so many ways. It really interests me.

To be in a position where I’m working with a fashion house in Paris sets it apart from every other celebrity brand.”

CEO of Ungaro hopes that Lindsay Lohan’s celebrity status will bring much-needed attention to the brand, saying “I think the noise level around Lindsay will be very, very big.” It sounds like they’re open to any press – good or bad! Simply put, they say “the fashion industry thrives on controversy anyway.” They love that Lindsay is a diva with an eye for fashion, and love that she always wants to change her outfits throughout the day.

Lindsay shares how Ungaro has always stood for “provocation” and is about being sexy. Lindsay’s vision is for the brand to be “simple and easy” as well as sexy, saying that “less is more.”

Lindsay has signed a multiyear contract with Ungaro which will include overseeing the designs, doing trunk shows, making appearances, and being “where the activities of the brand are.” Lindsay will not, however, appear in Ungaro advertising. Though we may see Lindsay in paparazzi shots wearing the new line

Congratulations Lindsay!!

Ok, so laughing isn’t much of a press “statement”, but that’s all we got from Lindsay. The whole thing about Lindsay being pregnant, not knowing who the baby’s father is, and considering abortion just smelled rotten to begin with. It wasn’t worth Lindsay needing to address it.

The rest of the article on E! simply talks about how great Samantha Ronson is doing without Lindsay – that she was acting “like a single woman on the prowl” and was very relaxed without Lindsay there.

“I like the way I look – I’m not starving myself, contrary to popular belief.”

Lindsay says she’s continually criticized about her weight, weather she’s too thin or too heavy. And, in talking about Samantha Ronson, Lindsay re-iterates that she and Sam are friends.

“I lost myself a bit with Sam, like many people do when they’re in a relationship. I want to be on my own for a while. I need to care about myself now.”

Lindsay re-iterates that she’s in Hollywood to do work, not to be a celebrity. She says she’s “been a target for a long time,” but she grew up dreaming of movie stars who simply wanted to act in great movies. That’s all she wants to do, but instead she’s viewed as someone who “parties, who wants to be photographed all the time, isn’t focused and can’t be on time,” which she says is not true.

Lindsay Lohan is not interested in being a lead performer, but says she’s open to a one-time appearance, saying “one show as a guest would be fun.”

Speaking of fun, check out this video of Lindsay Lohan dancing with Mel B at Prive in Las Vegas:

Lindsay is reported to have told E! that she and Samantha Ronson “are taking a brief break” so that Lindsay can focus on herself. Lindsay say the decision was made on Monday morning following a rough weekend, though it appears now that Samantha was not behind Lindsay being barred from Charlotte’s party. Reports indicate Sam & Lindsay spent time with each other that night and that Sam’s family & friends have been engaged in a “smear campaign” against her.

Charlotte Ronson and mom Ann Dexter-Jones were said to have gone to the police department on Monday seeking information about how to get a restraining order against Lindsay. No papers have been filed yet and it’s not clear if Samantha knew her family was there or not.

Lindsay Lohan & Samantha Ronson have been dating for more than a year. Despite all the rumors, I truly believe that Samantha was a good influence on Lindsay in a time of her life when she needed it. And in turn, I believe Lindsay supported Sam too, by going to her events, traveling with her, and, it now seems, making sure she stayed comfortable and healthy and happy.

Meanwhile, Michael Lohan is telling the media that he’s there for Lindsay and has “cleared his schedule” to go meet her in LA. I’m not sure if having her parents together will do Lindsay any good, but I do hope she has nothing but love and support around her if the break-up is indeed true.

In random gossip, Radar is reporting that Lindsay lost her sorrows in a bottle on Monday night. But there’s no evidence that any “source” was accurate on this one.

Lindsay has been looking great lately, her arms and legs filling out nicely, with a healthy glow to her. And yet, the rumors have resurfaced.

People.com has a new statement from Lindsay’s rep, one that was prompted after a few weeks of people gossiping that Lindsay only ever had a liquid diet of Red Bull and Coke, along with candy. All of which is crap. Just because we only ever see Lindsay with these things, doesn’t mean she doesn’t eat like a normal person.

Anyway, Lindsay’s rep says the rumors are stupid:

“Lindsay has always enjoyed a Red Bull, but she eats. Everybody needs to mind their own business and stop worrying about what Lindsay eats or doesn’t eat.”

THANK YOU for such a strong statement! I mean, seriously? Why do websites print such crap?

Lindsay Lohan was only 12 years old when she worked with Natasha Richardson, who played her mom in the film. Lindsay says:

“She was a wonderful woman and actress and treated me like I was her own. I didn’t see much of her over the years but I will miss her. My heart goes out to her family. This is a tragic loss.”

Tragedy like this always makes me very sad. My condolences to the family and friends now grieving Natasha’s loss.
