Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson flew into JFK yesterday and headed to Citrine for Sam's DJing gig. A lot has been going on for LL while she's been overseas, starting with rumors that her career is in trouble after her Ugly Betty drama even though Dina laughed off stories that Lindsay fought with America. Meanwhile, Michael is talking about how he's done dealing with family issues in the press and that he's sorry for being so nasty about Sam.
