Nicole Richie Hosts Armani Exchange Sunglass Launch

Notice Lindsay's Gay Lover was there. Lindsay Lohan’s taken a break from chasing boys and plunged into a hot and heavy romance with her lesbian DJ pal Samantha Ronson! “They are lovers,” claims one insider. “The rumors about them hooking up are totally true. Lindsay is trying to be low key about it, but everyone knows that they are way more than friends!”

Earlier this month, while in Japan doing a photo shoot, Lindsay was spotted by a source locking lips with Samantha in a Tokyo nightclub. “They just started making out right there like they didn’t care who saw them,” the source tells Star. “Maybe because they were across the globe, they didn’t think anyone would notice.”

The pair were also spotted sharing a long, passionate kiss and groping each other at least once before, at New York City hot spot The Plumm. One source tells Star that Lindsay described her relationship with Samantha as an “on-again, off-again” romance, which has been going on since last year. Lindsay said they were lovers,” the friend claims. “She said, ‘We hook up all the time!’”

But Lindsay, doesn’t consider herself gay, the friends adds. She says Samantha is her go-to girl whenever she doesn’t have a man in her life. “Lindsay said, ‘If I am not with a guy, then we hook up.’ She said it like it was no big deal,” says the source. Lindsay’s reps say she’s not involved in a lesbian relationship, but those who know her believe she’s probably just experimenting with 29-year-old Samantha. “For Lindsay, it’s about being lonely,” a source says. But for Samantha it seems to be more. “Samantha is gay,” claims our source. “She’s told me herself.”

And another friend notes, “It’s obvious how she feels about Lindsay. If they’re out and Lindsay starts flirting with a guy, Samantha gets pouty, like she’s jealous!”
