Real reason Lindsay Lohan fled Hollywood
Lindsay Lohan is loving her 'normal' life in Dubai. The actress revealed that stricter law regarding privacy is the primary reason she's chosen to live in Dubai, where she's experiencing a far different life than her days of being a tabloid fixture in Hollywood. 'It's just far away from Hollywood, and I live a very normal life,' Lohan said during her recent appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, per Page Six. 'There's no worry of, like, I can't go eat at this place 'cause someone's gonna take a picture of my son,' she continued. 'And it's just, I feel very safe.' When host Kelly Ripa asked if there were photographers there, Lohan shocked her when she shared how strict the city is when it comes to taking pictures. 'No, it's not legal,' Lohan responded. 'You can't even take a picture of someone else if you're at a restaurant. You have to ask the person, which is a big difference from here.' 'What? That's incredible!' Ripa interjected with her mouth open in shock. Lohan stressed, 'Yeah, privacy is key.' The 39-year-old actress has been living in Dubai since 2014. She married her husband, financier Bader Shammas, in 2022. They welcomed their 2-year-old son, Luai, in 2023. Lohan has had a complicated relationship with being in the spotlight. 'I could do 99 things right and one thing wrong, but it's that one thing that will be focused on,' she told Paper magazine in 2018. 'Behind the scenes, I do what I can to be the best version of me, which never gets mentioned,' she continued. 'I am also human. I make mistakes. That's all that seems to get reported.' Lohan is currently promoting her new movie Freakier Friday, the highly anticipated sequel to 2003's Freaky Friday. She reunited with Jamie Lee Curtis for the film — out August 8. Lohan recently told Page Six the game-changing advice she received from Curtis over 20 years ago. 'She said, 'How you show up on set is how the whole crew feels. You control the energy that goes on set, so always bring your best self,'' Lohan revealed. 'It's very full circle for me,' she also shared about returning for the sequel. 'And it was just a really exciting day when we were first there, all together.'

‘Tried to make him better': Luai opens up on Galvin exit as Tigers star makes huge contract call
Tigers skipper Jarome Luai has opened up on facing Lachlan Galvin for the first time since his defection to the Bulldogs. Luai and Galvin reportedly had a frosty relationship as teammates, even before Galvin's decision to leave the club. FOX LEAGUE, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every game of every round in the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership, LIVE with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer > Luai was vocal in defending coach Benji Marshall after his coaching credentials were called into question by Galvin's management as one of the reasons he wanted to leave the club. However, Luai told The Daily Telegraph there was no hard feelings between the pair and maintains they had a good relationship at the Tigers. 'I think he spoke about it already and said that there wasn't any beef in the relationship, which is true,' Luai told The Daily Telegraph. 'I did my best to try and make him a better footballer. 'All pre-season I thought to myself, we connected well and you know, we started the year off in great form, won some games. 'But like I just said before, he made a call on his future. All the other best of him, bro. I'm just focused on my career.' Luai refused to get caught up in the hype of playing against Galvin and is more focused on bouncing back from a loss to the Panthers. 'It's not about Lachie, it's not about the Dogs - it's about us,' Luai told WWOS. 'That's a story everyone wants to talk about. For us here inside our four walls, it's about us and how we perform on game day. Coming off the back of a loss, my main focus as a player is how I prepare throughout the week and ultimately, how I'm gonna perform. 'It's all about me and my team.' Luai also all but confirmed he will see out the remainder of his Wests Tigers deal, despite get-out clauses giving him the option to walk out on the club mid-contract. Luai's $6 million deal has been in the spotlight since he was critical of Lachlan Galvin walking out on the Tigers, despite the fact he had contract clauses that would allow him to do the same. The Tigers' skipper's five-year deal has options in his favour that would allow him to leave at some point in the final three years of the deal from 2027. It means Luai could become available to negotiate with rival clubs for 2027 from November 1 this year. When questioned about the clauses by Channel 9's Danny Weidler on WWOS, Luai moved to end speculation he would leave the club. 'Scoops? Nah, just scoops of ice cream,' Luai joked. 'I'm staying, don't worry - for life. 'I think when things get hard, people are sort of expecting you to change and I'm not that type of guy. I'm here for the long run and I'm here to change this club around.' The Tigers recently re-signed co-captain Api Koroisau to a two-year extension through until the end of 2028, meaning his contract length is similar to Luai's which expires in 2029. Luai admitted the chance to keep playing with Koroisau was a big factor in him committing to the Tigers. 'He's a big part of this club and a big reason why I signed here,' Luai said. 'It's good to see the skip locked in for a few more years, I can't wait to play some more footy with him.'

Lindsay still has over a decade to go until she has to deal with the teenage rebellion years like Jamie Lee Curtis' character did in the original Freaky Friday film. She added: "I'm not in that position with my son yet. He's still a toddler. [But] he runs! Fast, out of the house. He's like, 'Outside!' Gone."

But I also want to do things that inspire me. "It's a learning process — I'm having a different go at it, figuring out what I want to do and how I want to do it."

I'd rather have downtime in New York than I would in Los Angeles."
