14 DAY TRIAL // Over the course of the past weeks, it became clear that Lindsay Lohan was shrinking before the flashes of the cameras belonging to the paparazzi who were always on her trail. Towards the end of last week, word got out that it was stress and wanting to be as slim as lover Samantha Ronson that was making Lindsay not eat anymore. Not so, her publicist tells PageSix, since she’s very healthy and eating, contrary to what people say.
“Lindsay Lohan looks teeny-tiny in recent photos, but her rep insists she’s not heading back to her scary-skinny period. Responding to rumors we heard that Lohan is ‘surviving on candy and Red Bull’ and ‘completely stressed out’ by her rocky relationship with Samantha Ronson, her flack insisted she’s fine: ‘Lindsay is aware that she’s lost some weight due to stress, but we recently did a photo shoot and she ate two full meals.’” PageSix writes in today’s issue.
Given that Lohan suffered from an eating disorder earlier in her career, when she became so thin that people could hardly tell the difference between her and pal Nicole Ritchie (who, in her turn, was said to be suffering from anorexia), it was only understandable that her drastic weight loss prompted speculation of this type. However, it has been said, eating is not all that is making the actress drop the pounds so fast, as also is her unhealthy relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson.
“Lindsay is obsessed with her weight; it’s hard to be with another woman and not compare bodies. And Sam herself loves being skinny and prefers Lindsay super-lean. Sam has gotten so thin from Red Bull, cigarettes and stress related to life with Lindsay. Sam is disgusted by overweight people, but now she’s gotten too skinny because of stress.” an unnamed source has told OK! Magazine a couple of days ago, referring to the unhealthy influence the two women have on each other.
To add more fuel to the fire, pictures of Lindsay snapped just the other day showed a very protruding hip-bone (easily noticeable through her clothes) and extremely thin legs. Then again, this would not be a first when photos are either retouched at a later moment or simply snapped from the wrong angle, from what Lohan’s representative says.
