Lindsay Lohan: Paparazzi Magnet

Believe it or not, going out to lunch is much more involved for celebrities these days. Rather than just picking a restaurant and sitting down for a meal, there’s usually an elaborate exit strategy to avoid the waiting paparazzi. Just ask Lindsay Lohan.

The crimson-haired singer/actress was spotted by the shutterbugs grabbing a bite at the exclusive Beverly Hills, California eatery The Ivy. And while she was relaxing during the meal, afterwards she snuck out the back door in an attempt to foil the stalking paps.

And it sounds like the “Mean Girls” actress is starting to infringe on the privacy of other Hollywood royalty. Recently, none other than Clint Eastwood was overheard commenting on the fact that Lindsay brings paparazzi everywhere she goes.

During a meal at Madeo restaurant, the Oscar-winning actor/director voiced his distaste for the young Hollywood queen and her seemingly endless stream of trailing photographers.

A source told press, “I heard him tell his friend, ‘She brought all those paparazzi. Fifteen of them. Did you ever think we’d see the day with all this? I’m going out the back door so I don’t have to deal with all that.”
