Wheelchair-bound fan slapped by rabid gawker as Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson land at Ultra

What do Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson have to do with the Toronto International Film Festival? Nothing. And everything. Headlining the eTalk party and closing out 10 days of star-studded excitement at an unofficial TIFF party at Ultra, this tabloid twosome overshadowed the film program and created a pop-culture media circus over personalities, champagne, short shorts and intoxicated blitz. Critics got angry, Torontonians got confused and little girls became violent, trying to push their way to the VIP front lines for a glimpse of the red-headed troublemaker. Our own LiLo sighting and a slap fight with a wheelchair-bound fan, after the jump.

Lohan and Lesbohan at the eTalk party: skinny legs and side cleavage

Samantha Ronson deejayed (read: played songs from her laptop) at the eTalk party on Friday, while a stern female bodyguard wagged a finger at anyone who tried to snap photos of the Lesbohan. The waifish Ronson actually spun some good tunes, starting with M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes”—the gunshots in that song always get the privileged class going, for some reason. A chain-smoking Lindsay Lohan was onstage as well, answering phone calls and trying to hide in the corner behind 4 Korners, the assisting DJs. A patron later commented that the top Lohan was wearing gave her “side cleavage,” which we think is this year’s faux pas equivalent to the muffin top.—Melita Kuburas

Puff Daddy pops and Lindsay Lohan texts at the eTalk Daily party

Friday’s eTalk party at the CTV building is in the running for crassest party at TIFF—or at least the one most resembling a barnyard. It took 20 minutes to get a drink, and it was enormously undignified to be smooshed on the stairwell and yelled at like third graders by security. Just another night out in the entertainment district? Maybe—but then something of Biblical proportion started to take shape. Gospel chants began, then drumbeats escalated to an intense degree. It felt as though the CTV parking lot was about to split open and money would blow up from the ground. Diddy had arrived. “Bad Boy 4 Life” kicked in and infected the crowd. It didn’t matter if you were behind the stage, rammed up against a fence or front and centre amid a sea of busty blondes—everyone simultaneously started to shake their rump with punctuating gang signs. It was a CTV corporate crunk-down. After the jump, our search for Lindsay Lohan.

The modern-day rickshaw will spirit celebrities away from feral fans

Perhaps it’s because David Suzuki has been wagging his finger at us all year, or maybe it’s because the world as we know it is doomed, but in TIFF’s 33rd year, we are spotting flashes of green between the red carpets.
