CELEB RENT A DATES : $150K WITH LINDSAY LOHAN

Do you want a dates with a celebrity Lindsay Lohan for night or with other beautiful B-list bombshells? You just need to spare your USD$150,000. If you are rich and can afford to pay. That what An Austrian billionaire Richard Lugner does. He is continuing his 19 year old tradition of buying a celebrity date to one of Austria's premier social events, the Vienna Opera Ball, and this year the lucky lady will be none other than Lindsay Lohan.

PARTY CRASHERS:
Lindsay Lohan will be attending the Vienna Opera Ball as
the paid date of Austrian shopping-mall tycoon Richard Lugner.

"Lohan, dubbed "the fallen Disney princess" by the Austrian media, accepted Lugner's offer after his first choice, pneumatic British reality-TV star Jordan (a k a Katie Price), stole his thunder by announcing her selection to the tabloids before he could."

Lugner is a 77 year old divorced father of three that apparently gets a kick out of paying for bombshell celebrity escorts in years past he's had the likes of Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, and Sophia Loren on his arm for the event.

This year Lohan was his second choice, after British actress Katie Price became unavailable, and rumors suggest she's turning out to be a high-maintenance date as she's refusing to choose a gown ahead of time and Lugner is going to be partly responsible for making sure she doesn't drink during the event, and including having all the liquor removed from the mini-bar in her hotel room.
