Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson: What will happen?

Settled as They announce their relationship

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gdgbKGT9Gv8WjQStqYAS2gwanWzwD93CPSO81
Bets made after the show aired on Loveline Monday night @10pm PDT have been voided.

Background:

Are they? Aren't they? Will they? Won't they? Secret lesbians? Disapproving father? Gay wedding? Does it get any better for the gossip rags?

The blogs have been salivating over this story for weeks, but it appears that Lindsay and "close friend" Samantha are edging ever closer to acknowledging a relationship and are possibly even planning a fall wedding.

Hat tip to Chris's flat mate Alan who has apparently been thinking about this story entirely too much!

Settlement details: As confirmed by Lohan or Ronson official representatives (or themselves -- Parents, friends, paparazzi won't count). Settles as to whichever happens first. If they announce their relationship and marriage in the FIRST official statement, will settle as marriage. Likewise, an announcement of a breakup (although implicitly also announcing a relationship) will settle as breakup.

This is a pretty interesting article:

'Neither Lohan nor Ronson has spoken to the media about their relationship, and not surprisingly, Lohan's publicist would not comment for this story nor make Lohan herself available, writing in an e-mail that Lohan "wants to keep her private life private." [...]

Yet the celebrity magazines have kept the stories coming. Mainstream editors used to be squeamish to the point of erasure when it came to unconfirmed same-sex relationships.'

Once again this topic confuses me to no end. This question has appeared before, and was voided becuase TWO actual newspapers reported as a fact, from lindsays own mouth, that she had a relationship with Samantha... One of those papers was the Boston Globe... she also said at the time they had plans to get married but did not give a time frame.

i flagged with the first line of the article and the link, but i didn't mean to submit it until i put the date of the article as well: May 27th.

There have been plenty of reports of "Lindsay's friend reported that Lindsay said" but there have been NO official statement from Lindsay directly to the press. Although for many reasons it seems a certainty that Lindsay and Samantha are a couple, and are planning a wedding, this market is more about what they will choose to tell the press about their relationship than the relationship itself.

This market will settle only on official statements from Lindsay, Samantha or their official representatives.

once again, the admins might try looking at what I've put in the flag...

But I'll post it here for everyone too since people are so determined to treat TZM or whoever as actual news:

Boston Globe Article

Date: May 27, 2008

First line of the article: "Lindsay Lohan has announced she wants to marry Samantha Ronson."

Link: http://www.boston.com/ae/celebrity/articles/2008/05/27/lindsay_lohans_girl_wedding/

So just checking once again, the boston globe (number 1 newspaper in Boston) counts as press/ major main stream news right?

I did read it. The next line says: "... and reportedly told her former lover, British model Calum Best, the pair are engaged."

This must be an official announcement. That article is still heresay. The article is reporting what Calum Best said that Lindsay told him.
