Lindsay Lohan

ALECSEY BOLDESKUL

Before Lindsay Lohan's recent outing to New York City strip club Scores, where she reportedly shared a sexy pole dance with new pal Kate Moss, the tabloid-friendly duo spent the evening at Dark Room, a trendy bar on the Lower East Side, dancing and chatting with the deejay.

But while in Manhattan, Lohan didn’t ignore her old pals, either. She dined with mom, Dina, at chic Italian eatery Da Silvano in Greenwich Village and then swung by New York Adorned, a jewelry, piercing and tattoo parlor in the East Village, where she purchased $460 "seafan spikes" earrings by local artisan Emily Amey.

Lohan also put her credit card to work at SoHo jewelry store Me & Ro: She picked up a platinum and black diamond necklace (roughly $5,550) and a 10-karat gold skull ring with ruby eyes (about $3,700), among other baubles. The actress was so excited that she "wore everything right out of the store," a clerk tells us.

Birthday Boy

Country star John Rich, half of quirky duo Big & Rich, threw himself a raucous 32nd birthday party for 250 of his closest friends at Nashville club Bluesboro recently. Kid Rock, R&B singer Brian McKnight and several members of the MuzikMafia clique, including Cowboy Troy, joined the Rat Pack-themed fete. A big band orchestra provided the tunes, martinis were served and a Marilyn Monroe impersonator hopped out of a cake to sing "Happy Birthday" to the singer.

Rich, decked out in a black cowboy hat and a 1960s vintage tan tuxedo with chocolate brown velvet lapel, told us, "I spared no expense on this party. We are going all the way to the wall."
