Don't worry, everyone: Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan are friends again!

After being shoved out of the limelight by former friend Kim Kardashian, it looks like Paris Hilton is taking one step back into the fame game, returning to where she started -- hanging out with C-list celebrities like Lindsay Lohan.

The socialite has refueled her friendship with the troubled starlet, RadarOnline reports. According to the outlet, Hilton and Lohan were spotted dining together at Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Palisades, California on Thursday night.

The new/old BFFs haven't been spotted together in years, but according to reports, Lohan was seen at the heiress' beach bash in Malibu last week.

Lohan may be enjoying her new-found freedom after weeks of being locked up in her swanky Venice, California beach pad, but according to a source, the actress is fully aware how the public perceived her late-night jaunts with friends and is now determined to change her ways (because countless court-dates weren't motivation enough).

According to TMZ, a source claims that Lohan is committing herself to a healthier, more active life, and is trying to cut back on the late-night excursions, giving the public a reason to believe that she is a new woman.

And nothing says healthy and happy (and not on probation for DUI) like a bicycle. The website snapped a pic of Lohan taking her new, blue, two-wheeled ride around town.

On the bright side, at least she'll be able to cut down on her costs so she can afford that court.

Lindsay Lohan dating a model

The 25-year-old actress - who was previously in a lesbian relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson - has been spotted on a dinner date with Spencer Falls at Hollywood's Chateau Marmont hotel, and the hunk was also seen leaving her home in Venice Beach, California.

A fellow diner told America's Star magazine: "Lindsay seemed totally smitten by him and just really happy. It was really refreshing to see her back to her old self again."

The troubled actress - who last month completed 35 days under house arrest for stealing a necklace and violating the terms of her 2007 conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) - was recently pictured having her breast fondled by Spencer during a late night photo shoot captured by her friend Tyler Shields in Los Angeles.

After the shoot, the celebrity photographer wrote on his website: " Lindsay Lohan, Spencer Falls and I had way too much fun on this one! A little romance never hurt anyone until it ended.

"In matters of love sometimes you have to be willing to get your hands dirty."

Lindsay dated Samantha on and off for around two years before they eventually split for good in 2009. She has also briefly dated British model Calum Best, Adrian Grenier and snowboarder Riley Giles.

Lindsay Lohan: "I should never have been jailed"

Lindsay Lohan has launched a furious tirade against the American judicial system – less than a week after her release from house-arrest.

The 24-year old actress’s once promising career has been blighted by high-profile scrapes with the law over recent years, including an arrest for driving under the influence, court-ordered spells in rehab and a series of stints behind bars for parole violation.

But Lindsay – a free woman after completing 35-days of house-arrest for the alleged theft of a $2,500 necklace – believes she never should have been sent to prison in the first place.

“Unless you’re a killer, I don’t see a reason to stay there,” she told Italy’s Vanity Fair magazine. “I never hurt anyone but myself.”

The actress – who found fame as a fresh-faced 11-year old in 1998 movie ‘The Parent Trap’ – also believes being thrust into the spotlight at an early age contributed to her bad behaviour.

“I think that being young and in the position that I was in you don’t really take the time to appreciate what you have,” she said. “It was all a whirlwind and I’m not a kid anymore, I’m 24 and I’ve made mistakes but I feel like if I can just stay focussed I can achieve what I want to achieve.”

Lindsay Lohan’s August Cover Of Italia Vanity Fair

Lindsay Lohan and is on the cover of the August issue of Italian Vanity Fair.

The 25 year-old actress gives the camera her all in a gingham bustier top and white short shorts and tells the magazine she’s not really the type of criminal that should ever have been in jail.

“Unless you’re a killer, I don’t see a reason to stay there. I never hurt anyone but myself,” Lohan proclaimed.

The DUI – lucky she didn’t hurt anyone. The jewelry she stole – I suppose in her mind the owners weren’t hurt when she left with their product without paying. Oh Lindsay.

Lohan also mentions she has a permit for a gun, showing it to the photographer, who was able to take the pictures of Lohan because she was on house arrest – anyone catching the odd irony here?

But Lohan, ever the optimist, wants to get back to work and put her troubles behind her.

“In October, I’ll begin work [on Gotti: Three Generations.] I hope to spend next year on set,” she told Italia Vanity Fair.
“It was all a whirlwind but I’m not a kid anymore. I’m 24 [the interview was conducted just prior to her 25th birthday on July 2nd] and I’ve made a lot of mistakes but I feel like if I can just stay focused I can achieve what I want to achieve.”

With this cover and story, will American Vanity Fair still have her for the September issue as rumored? But more importantly, do her issues sell?

Lindsay Lohan turns 25, celebrates freedom

Lindsay Lohan celebrated her 25th birthday on Saturday, just three days after being released from house arrest, which she served for 35 days for violating her probation.

Following her release, Lohan attended a friend's going away dinner at the Lexington Social House in Hollywood, where she was hounded by photographers and nearly fell. The actress took to Twitter to defend her near-fall, posting a photo of her platform shoes, which she blamed along with the "psychotic paparazzi."

"Of course me going to my best friends going away dinner is a headline, especially on my first day out of my house in 35 days," Lohan wrote on Twitter. " That does not give anyone the right to have a field day and manifest stories. IT WAS A GOING AWAY DINNER THAT WAS IT. Nothing exciting happened aside from the very yummy hummus and pita. If anyone caused me to nearly fall it was the psychotic paparazzi."

Lohan was photographed with friends, including actor Emile Hirsch and "Kick-Ass" actress Lyndsy Fonseca.

The actress is expected to celebrate her birthday with friends, including her ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson in the Hamptons, New York, according to the Daily Mail.

In April, a judge had sentenced Lohan to jail after she pleaded guilty to theft in a missing $2,500 necklace case. It was determined that the charge constituted a violation of the actress' probation regarding a 2007 drunk driving and cocaine possession case.

Lohan turned herself in at a Los Angeles-area jail on May 26 and was told she could serve her sentence at home and be monitored electronically. The actress also had her punishment reduced from 120 days to 35. Lohan's house arrest was lifted on Wednesday at 10:20 a.m. local time, according to a police report obtained by OnTheRedCarpet.com.

Now that Lohan is free, she must fulfill the other part of her punishment given over her theft case - community service. In addition to being given three more years of probation, the actress was also ordered to complete 480 community service hours at a women's shelter and in a morgue, undergo psychological counseling, attend a Shoplifters Alternative class and pay several fines.

She had begun her community service duties before she was put under house arrest and was ordered to resume her duties after her release. Her spokesperson said in a statement obtained by OnTheRedCarpet.com that Lohan said on Tuesday that she is eager to get back to fulfilling her community service obligations.

After her release, Lindsay Lohan was seen stepping outside and heading into an SUV. She later Tweeted that she "had a great day" at the Los Angeles women's shelter, where she must complete part of her community service hours.

Lohan served time in jail with other inmates several times for stints that have lasted between 84 minutes and 14 days - a sentence reduced from 90 days, mostly due to overcrowding.
