In L.A. with L.L.

I spent this week at the Digital Hollywood conference in - you guessed it - Hollywood, CA. I gained some valuable insights into the world of emerging medias, broadband video services and video streaming, white label social networking apps, and more; however, the highlight of my trip was not related to digital media & entertainment, but rather Lindsay Lohan!

I had dinner with friends on Wednesday (Halloween) evening at Il Sole, a fabulous boutique Italian restaurant on Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood. I was prying my friend for her list of celebrity sightings since she and her husband moved to LA a couple years ago, when she suddenly whispered "LL... LL...LL!". I looked up, to see the blond Lindsay Lohan herself, dressed in a short black dress with thigh-highs and boots along-side Riley Giles, her rehab snowboarder boyfriend, greeting friends with hugs and kisses. She was seated 10 feet or so directly in front of us; the view was unobstructed so I naturally found myself staring at her, like a would at anyone in my direct view. The photo above was captured that night; I didn't dig the blond on her at all nor the orange hue of her skin probably from self-tanner, and she has packed on a few lb's since hopping on the wagon (I hope), but she did have a sparkling smile despite what these photos show. And no, she wasn't drinking anything but a post-rehab Coca Cola; I am sure the repugnant paparazzi lined-up outside with the curious cameras were hoping to see something a bit juicier. Rachel Zoe, the controversial stylist to the stars, also popped in for a visit.

Here's some more photos from that night.
