Why do Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson look so miffed in these paparazzi photos from their visit to the VIP Room nightclub on Paris’ Champs-Elysees? Mere moments before stepping onto the red carpet, a PETA anti-fur activist dumped an entire bag of flour on Lohan for wearing fur, shouting, "Lindsay Lohan--Fur hag!"
The owner of the VIP Room helped Lindsay Lohan dust off her dress before walking the red carpet to be photographed. Predictably, PETA is unapologetic. A statement released by the activist group indicated that they had no qualms.
Lindsay Lohan was in Paris to support Samantha Ronson, who had a DJ gig at the VIP Room that evening.
