Lindsay Lohan on why living in Dubai is better than Hollywood, Entertainment News
The 39-year-old actress has revealed that she enjoys the relative anonymity that she's able to enjoy in the city.
Lindsay — who moved to Dubai back in 2014 — said on Live with Kelly and Mark: "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 loves that her family can enjoy quality time together without being bothered.
The actress — who has son Luai, two, with Bader Shammas — 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."
Meanwhile, Jamie Lee Curtis recently admitted that she felt "tremendous maternal care" for Lindsay after they starred together in Freaky Friday.
The 66-year-old actress starred alongside Lindsay in the 2003 comedy movie, and Jamie admits that she developed a close bond with her co-star at the time.
She told the Guardian newspaper: "I felt tremendous maternal care for Lindsay after the first movie and continued to feel that.
"When she comes 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 insists that Lindsay doesn't need any life advice from her.
The actress 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."
The celebrity duo has reunited to star in Freakier Friday, the sequel to their 2003 movie, and Lindsay has claimed that she's now "wiser" and more "settled" than ever before.
The actress recently 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."

Actress-singer Lindsay Lohan comes full circle with Freakier Friday

LONDON – Lindsay Lohan says she drew upon her own experiences of motherhood for Freakier Friday, the highly-anticipated sequel to her hit 2003 movie Freaky Friday. Lohan, 39, welcomed her first child in 2023, a year before the Disney movie was filmed. 'It felt full circle for me, and also the timing was pretty impeccable considering that I'm a new mum, and I was able to bring being a mum into the character,' Lohan said at the film's London premiere on July 31. 'It's the first time I'm able to do that on screen.' Freaky Friday, with a reported budget of US$26 million (S$34 million), was a surprise hit, making over US$160 million worldwide and obtaining a cult following. The 2025 follow-up sees Lohan and actress Jamie Lee Curtis reprising the roles of mother and daughter duo Tess and Anna Coleman. Twenty years on, Anna is a single parent to tomboy teen daughter Harper, played by Julia Butters. Their relationship comes under stress when Anna falls for Eric (Manny Jacinto), the father of Harper's new British classmate Lily (Sophia Hammons), and they decide to get married. The future stepsisters, with a mutual dislike for one another, decide to intervene. Freakier Friday opens in Singapore on Aug 7. While the 2003 film saw a body swap between Tess and Anna, things get 'freakier' this time around with Tess and Anna switching bodies with Lily and Harper. Before signing on to the sequel, Lohan ensured that Anna returned as a multi-faceted and relatable character. 'It was important to me that we explained who Anna is today and how she's evolved and the dynamic between her and her daughter as she's a single working mum,' Lohan said. She added: 'There are some basic points that I wanted to get across because I want people to see the movie and find a piece of it that they can grab onto and be like, 'okay, I get that'.' Directed by Nisha Ganatra, the movie also sees actor Chad Michael Murray reprising the role of young Anna's love interest, Jake. Shooting the sequel was a 'lovefest', said Murray. 'It was the same, but better. It felt very much like connective tissue to the first movie. Everyone loved going to work and no one wanted to go home.' Freakier Friday marks Lohan's big screen return, since 2013's The Canyons. 'It's obviously nerve-wracking because you want it to be great, and you want people to love what you do,' she said. 'As long as people are enjoying what I'm doing, and it's making them happy, then I feel like I'm doing my job and that's what I'm here to do.'

Katy Perry-Justin Trudeau Romance: Singer and Politician Have 'Instant Connection', Source Says
Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau have an instant connection, according to a Canadian source. The source said the American singer and the former Canadian Prime Minister are now exploring their connection. The source added that the rumored couple may have some roadblocks due to their busy schedules. However, there is an attraction, and they have a lot in common, the source said, adding music is one of several things they could share. The source then said both the singer and the politician are idealistic. They still believe that they can make improvements, though it may not be easy. "They are interested in each other, but it will take some time to see where this goes. She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer the prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common. Music is one of many things they can share. Both are idealists and still live in a world where they think they can make improvements, although it has gotten more difficult", the Canadian source told People. Katy Perry - Justin Trudeau Romance The source said the romance between Katy and Justin may move more slowly because of their own personal responsibilities. Though both are single now and can begin a new relationship, they have their own parenting responsibilities. They may face some challenges in their long-distance relationship, but it is still possible for the rumored couple, the source added. "Their own personal responsibilities could slow down this relationship, but there are ways to maintain a connection while still fulfilling their parenting responsibilities. For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two", the source said. Meanwhile, another Canadian source stated that the romantic relationship between the singer and the politician is in its very early stages. The timing for them to begin a relationship could be perfect, but the former Canadian Prime Minister may play it low-key for now. "Justin is a [politician] who is used to living a secret life with his personal activity, and wouldn't put on a public display at this stage. He knows they were being watched and is smart enough to play it low-key for now", the source said. The American singer and the Canadian Prime Minister sparked romance rumors earlier this week. The rumored couple were spotted together in Montréal multiple times by their fans.
