Lindsay Lohan Befriends Lily Allen

Hollywood star LINDSAY LOHAN has struck up an unlikely friendship - with British pop star LILY ALLEN.

The pair was spotted chatting and laughing together over dinner with their mutual pal DJ Samantha Ronson at Il Sole restaurant in Los Angeles on Monday (09Jun08).

But Allen only mentioned the Mean Girls star in passing - without saying her name - when she blogged about her dinner date on Tuesday (10Jun08).

She writes: "I came back to the hotel at about 7 and went straight to dinner with my number one fan and avid reader of my blog Samantha. We went to this place called Il Sole, the food? amazing. I love truffles, big time, and they didn't dissapoint (sic). Samantha brought a rather famous friend with her and about 50 million paparazzi."

Allen is currently in the U.S. to finish recording her as-yet-untitled second album, which is due out later this year (08). The Smile singer is friends with Ronson through her producer Mark Ronson - Samantha's brother.
