Stress eats at movie star LiLo

Lindsay Lohan (Associated Press / The Spokesman-Review)

Despite the fact that Lindsay Lohan has been avoiding troublesome headlines, things may not be all rosy in LiLo-land, reports the New York Post.

Movie star/party girl Lohan, 22, looks “teeny-tiny in recent photos,” claims the U.S. tabloid.

Rumors are, says the Post, that Lohan is “surviving on candy and Red Bull” and “completely stressed out” by her rocky relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson.

Ah, but Lohan’s handlers have been working hard to quell such negative speculation, a fact that the Post is all too willing to note.

“(H)er flack insisted she’s fine,” reported the tab.

“Lindsay is aware that she’s lost some weight due to stress,” the Post quoted LiLo’s rep as saying, “but we recently did a photo shoot and she ate two full meals.”

No word, though, on what she did then.

Even Starbucks gets the jitters

Decaffeinated brew will still be available, but customers will have to wait a few minutes for the pot to be made on demand, spokeswoman Bridget Baker said.
