Man alleges Lohan hit him with SUV
Actress Lindsay Lohan was back in the spotlight Wednesday following her arrest outside a New York nightspot on suspicion of leaving the scene of an accident after a chef claimed her SUV clipped him, police said.
The arrest was a setback for the 26-year-old actress best known for movies such as “Freaky Friday” and “Mean Girls.” After several years of arrests and short jail terms, Lohan in recent months had gotten back to making movies. Lohan, however, remains on probation for shoplifting a necklace in 2011 in Los Angeles. Any prosecution in New York could potentially affect her L.A. case.
New York police said Lohan was arrested at 2:25 a.m. Wednesday as she left a luxury Manhattan hotel. About two hours before that, she had been driving a black Porsche Cayenne SUV down an alley near the hotel when she allegedly hit a 34-year-old pedestrian.
She did not stop and entered the hotel, but one of her two male passengers allegedly spoke to the man, who complained that the slow-speed vehicle had struck his knee, police said. Lohan was arrested when she returned to her car, given a ticket at a local NYPD precinct and released.

Regis a regular guest on ‘Rachael Ray’
When Regis Philbin left his co-host role on “Live! With Regis and Kelly” last November, he said he wasn’t retiring. And he wasn’t kidding.
Nearly a year after Philbin stopped being a regular presence on TV screens, the man is back with a new gig. He’ll be appearing one day a month as a special guest on “Rachael Ray.” His first appearance on “Rachael Ray” will be Monday.
In an interview with USA Today, Philbin was quick to emphasize that he’s not going to be a co-host. “I’m just a guy showing up on her show once a month.”
