Fireworks for Lindsay? | Lindsay Lohan
Got plans for the July 4 weekend? Bet you're not looking forward to it as much as rumored lovebirds Lindsay Lohan and Wilmer Valderrama. We've been speculating about why they're so secretive about their relationship, though they're often spotted out and about together, smooching in clubs on both coasts – and now Lohan spelled it out during a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. When Jay asked if she was "still seeing the guy from That 70s Show," Lohan demurred, claiming as usual that they're "very good friends." When he pressed, the 17-year-old star said, "No, Jay, it's not legal. He's 24." Well, that makes sense. But Lohan turns 18 on July 2 ... fireworks, indeed.

Artfully Done
Among the bidders on items from Katharine Hepburn's estate at Sotheby's recently was Charmed star Rose McGowan, who bought a painting by the late actress. "I was definitely caught up in the moment at the auction. But what a moment it was," says McGowan. "Owning a person's history is odd and beautiful at the same time. I thought she would have gotten quite a kick out of the whole thing."
