She's only 18, but Lindsay Lohan knows how to play the polite celebrity game. While dining at trendy TriBeCa restaurant Megu in New York City recently, the newly blonde actress spotted the unlikely pair of Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite at another table and sent over drinks. After her generous act, she then headed with model May Anderson and friends to club Level V, where they danced next to Michael Jordan. But that wasn't their last stop for the evening: The group then hit yet another club, Marquee, at 1:30 a.m., where they stayed until 3:15. When they finally decided to hit the road, a team of bodyguards cleared a path to the exit for Lohan and her posse.

Alligator Tale
Tennis star Andy Roddick caught some heat in Miami when he arrived to an exclusive fund-raiser wearing a Lacoste shirt – while still under contract with Reebok. Not a good move. His endorsement deal with the sportswear company forbade the tennis star to wear a competitor's clothing on-camera. When Roddick realized his faux pas – and that it could cost him his deal – he conjured up a solution: He stuck a Band-Aid over the signature Lacoste alligator emblem. But it turns out Roddick is more comfortable in alligator skin, after all: He ended up signing a contract with Lacoste, and dropping Reebok. Expect to see him wearing plenty of the classic preppy shirts in the future.

Caught in the Act
• Ashley Olsen, ordering ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery on Astor Place in Greenwich Village. A fan asked her for an autograph and the actress happily signed a sheet of paper as she continued to wait for her sweet treat.

• Jake Gyllenhaal, hanging out at L.A. club Guy's.

• Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe and a lady friend, having lunch at Urth Cafe in West Hollywood. Metcalfe, wearing a baseball cap and glasses, drank iced tea and ate tomato rice soup with curry chicken salad. To top it off, he ordered a cookie for dessert.
