Lindsay Lohan enjoys 'normal life' in Dubai
The 39-year-old actress relocated to Dubai in 2014, and she thinks it's the best possible environment for her family.
Lindsay - who has Luai, two, with her husband Bader Shammas - told The Times newspaper: "Dubai is a safe place where we can just have a normal life, outside of what I call 'the noise.'
"[It is] where my husband and I can see what is right for our child. It's not about me anymore."
Lindsay and Bader have made a conscious decision to keep their son out of the spotlight.
The actress shared: "It's something my husband and I discuss all the time. 'Do we want to show our son?' We will know when the time might be right, but it's also a protection."
Lindsay loves spending quality time with her son, observing that he is "so pure".
She said: "Kids are so pure, such a clean slate, and they are learning everything for the first time — it is beautiful. I want to relive those moments with my son, like I have never seen them before."
Lindsay recently claimed that she lives "a very normal life" in Dubai.
The film star admitted that she prefers living in the Middle East, having spent most of her life in the US.
During an appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Lindsay explained: "It's just far away from Hollywood, and I live a very normal life.
"There's no worry of like, I can't go eat at this place 'cause someone's gonna take a picture of my son. And it's just ... I feel very safe."
Lindsay also explained that her family can enjoy quality time together without being bothered.
The actress - who married Bader back in 2022 - said: "You can't take a picture of someone else if you're in a restaurant. You have to ask the person, which is a big difference from here."

Britt Ekland believes next Bond girl should be a 'natural beauty'
Britt Ekland believes the next Bond girl should be should be chosen for her "natural beauty". The hunt is currently on for a new James Bond to take over from Daniel Craig - who stepped down from the role after his fifth film No Time To Die in 2021 - after long-time producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson handed over control of the franchise to Amazon MGM Studios and The Man with the Golden Gun star Britt has now explained what the new Bond bosses need to look for in a female lead. She told The Times newspaper: "She should be attractive ... chosen for her natural beauty. And she should be athletic. "I think that's very important because the role generally involves running, jumping, a little bit of fighting. It involves moving your body." However, fellow former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko - who appeared opposite Craig in 2008's Quantum of Solace - told the publication choosing a new Bond girl has to be about more than just looks. She told the publication: "It's not just about the looks. What I see on Instagram is that girls are inspired to be as naked as they can be ... "A Bond girl doesn't take selfies. Her goal is thinking about strategy, about how she's going to complete her mission. "A Bond girl is witty, she's smart. She has her own agenda, she has a serious occupation, and that's what makes her sexy. It's not enough to just have an attractive face or a body if it's an empty vessel." It was recently suggested the James Bond franchise could return with an "origins" movie and a "very young" new star amid rumours 007 will be getting a massive shake-up with the character being taken back several decades. The rumour was shared by actor Daniel Mays who revealed he'd heard some details about what Amazon are planning for Bond. During an appearance on the We're Not Getting Any Younger podcast, he said: "Bond is a big deal right, that going to Amazon ... I heard a rumour they're going to cast someone very young and go sort of back to the origins. "They're going to sort of '60s, you're going to have all the retro cars and that sort of stuff - and start again. I think that would be kind of cool."

Jamie Lee Curtis hails Freakier Friday co-star Lindsay Lohan
Jamie Lee Curtis learned "perseverance" from Lindsay Lohan. The 66-year-old actress has reunited with Lindsay for Freakier Friday, the sequel to their 2003 comedy movie Freaky Friday, and Jamie has taken to social media to heap praise on her co-star. Jamie's Instagram post featured a quote from Lindsay in which she praises her co-star. The quote reads: "Jamie was with me at a time in my life when I was going through a lot publicly […] I have to feel safe around people. And Jamie is one of those people for me." In response to the quote, Jamie wrote in the caption: "And SHE taught me about perseverance, solitude, style, family and Bitmoji! (sic)" Lindsay and Jamie have repeatedly praised each other throughout the Freakier Friday press tour. Jamie recently admitted that she felt "tremendous maternal care" for Lindsay after they starred together in Freaky Friday. The Hollywood star told the Guardian newspaper: "I felt tremendous maternal care for Lindsay after the first movie, and continued to feel that. "When she'd come to Los Angeles, I would see her. She and I have remained friends, and now we're sort of colleagues. I feel less maternal towards her because she's a mommy now herself and doesn't need my maternal care, and has, obviously, a mom – Dina's a terrific grandma." Jamie also insisted that Lindsay doesn't need any life advice from her. The movie star said: "I'm bossy, very bossy, but I try to mind my own business. She doesn't need my advice. She's a fully functioning, smart woman, creative person. Privately, she's asked me questions, but nothing that's more than an older friend you might ask." Lindsay has been through lots of high-profile ups and downs in her life, but she recently claimed that she's now "wiser" and more "settled" than ever before. The 39-year-old actress told People: "I'm at ease in my life because I've lived, I feel like, such a long life at such a young age. I feel wiser now and very settled. I've become such a positive person."

Olly Murs opens up about feud with twin brother
Olly Murs says becoming a father has made helped him to 'relate to his mum's sadness' over his estrangement from his twin brother. The 40-year-old singer - who has 16-month old daughter Madison and a new baby on the way with wife Amelia Tank - famously fell out with his twin Ben when he missed his sibling's wedding to compete in 'The X Factor' semi-finals in 2009. And, Olly has admitted that since welcoming Madison last year, he understands more about how his mother, Vicky-Lynn Pollard, must feel about his and Ben's estrangement. He told The Sunday Times Magazine: 'Now I'm a parent I can relate more to my mum's sadness that my twin brother, Ben, and I have been estranged since 2009, though I've got nothing but love and respect for him.' And, since Olly fell out with Ben, he has turned to a famous face as a surrogate sibling. He said: 'This year I've been on tour and I've got a new album out later in 2025. I joined Robbie Williams on stage in June and it was great to catch up with him — he's been like a big brother to me over the years.' Meanwhile, Olly previously admitted he couldn't "sit in a room alone" after he and Ben fell out. He told The Times magazine: "When you've been in the womb with someone, you struggle with loneliness. I had to deal with it when my twin and I went on our separate lives. "I was desperate to be around people, could not sit in a room alone. "When I was single for three years, I had to learn to like my own company. That's when I met Amelia." The 'Dear Darlin'' hitmaker hailed his wife as "the love of [his] life" and recalled how he quickly knew how strongly he felt for the bodybuilder. He said: "I always thought that spark when you fall in love was a load of Disney rubbish. People would talk about that moment and you'd go, 'Really?' And when it does happen, it's not like it is in films, of course. When that person walks into your life and changes how you feel, you know. She's gorgeous, the love of my life. We're a good team." Despite Olly's career success, his main goal for the future is being a "great" family man. He said: "My aim in life is to be a great husband and father - that's where my future lies. "I'd love my career to continue as it is, but when you get married and become a dad, you just want to be the best for them."
