Lindsay Lohan was hanging out at a trendy LA nightspot when she cleared up the question of whether or not she was still a lesbian.

A waiter reportedly approached her and whispered, “The lady at the next table would like to buy you a drink!”

That’s when Lohan politely declined, looked over at the woman who appeared to be in her late 20s, and mouthed: “Thanks anyway.”

Later that night, she bumped into the woman in the ladies’ room and her admirer said, “Lindsay, I’ve been staring at you all night. You’re so beautiful! I want to go out with you. I think we’d be a great couple!”

She smiled but told her, “Thanks for the compliment, but I’m not into girls anymore – that was just a phase I was going through.”

(Lohan famously dated DJ Samantha Ronson.)

Actor Jason Patric is involved in a custody war with his ex-girlfriend: He has changed his mind about being involved in the child’s life.

Patric agreed to donate his sperm so his ex could have a baby, but part of the deal was that she could never tell anyone about it or ask for financial support.

He’s been in an on-again-off-again relationship with Danielle Schreiber for more than a decade, and when they broke up in 2009, he agreed to give her his sperm as a parting gift with no strings attached.

When they briefly got back together last year, he got attached to their son, and recently filed legal documents asking a judge to award him shared custody.

Danielle is reportedly fine with voluntarily giving him the right to spend time with the boy, but objects to ordered visitation since she doesn't believe he should have any legal rights.

Carly Rae Jepsen is actually a grown woman. She's on the January cover of Cosmopolitan and explained how her youthful image has worked against her.

She said: "If people think I look younger, then that's great; I'm stoked. But I turned 27 in November, and when I look in the mirror, I see all of the years attached to that face, and I'm content with me."

"I love being classy and as elegant as possible in my apartment. But when I'm onstage, I can't dance in 4-inch heels, so I'll generally sport flats. I'm 5-foot-2, so yeah, I'm going to look a little bit more playful. But I don't think that means I'm trying for an age younger than I am."

Now that she's become a star with her single "Call Me Maybe", Carly Rae hopes people will give the rest of her album a listen.

She said: "For me, the goal of music has never been 'I need to be the biggest superstar in the world.' It was 'I want to spend my life doing this, and I want to make a career that I can live off of so I don't have to tend bar and waitress to make this fly.' I don't want to be Cinderella for a night. I want to be Cinderella for life."

Remember that story about Justin Bieber making a baby? Well, the problem hasn't gone away yet. According to Daily News Hollywood, Mariah Yeater's attorney still hasn’t received results from DNA tests Justin claims he took.

A statement from the lawyer said: “I have not seen DNA test results or had them scrutinized. If there was a first test, and I have no documentation to say there even was, I wasn’t provided with the results. I have not had my demands for an independent DNA test carried out by Mr. Bieber.”

The news came 13 months after Yeater filed legal papers claiming Bieber was a dad. A couple of weeks later, she dropped the suit, claiming she and her attorneys would try to negotiate a settlement.

At the time, Justin said he had taken a paternity test because he “wanted everything to be out there in the open.” He has denied even meeting Yeater.

Yeater has said she’d like to see Justin involved in her son's life.

Music News: Pop:  ADELE TOPPED 10 MILLION IN "21" ALBUM SALES [2012-11-29 01:00:00]

Adele's "21" had two major achievements this week.

It topped the 10 million mark in U.S. sales. And did so in less than two years, faster than any other album since *NSYNC's "No Strings Attached" hit 10 Million in its 43rd week in January 2001.

The last album to sell 10 Million copies was Usher's "Confessions", which came out in 2004. But that album took more than four times as long as Adele's to sell 10 Million copies.

21 is the 21st album to sell 10 million copies in the U.S. since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard in 1991. It's the second by a British artist, following the Beatles' "1".

The Pussycat Dolls vowed to never reunite with Nicole Scherzinger.

Carmit Bachar blamed the group's split on Nicole's ambition to go solo and her distant relationship with her bandmates.

Bachar said: "Nicole tried to do a solo album, but it did not work and I think that hurt the label and everyone else in the end. I heard she did a ton of demos which weren't cheap. In a scramble they tried to get the Dolls to do a second album. They weren't really hot album songs, it didn't sound like us. I think that's when the other girls decided they had reached the end of the road."

"All of the Dolls are still friends, apart from Nicole. Nicole knows I had a child, my daughter Kaela Rose last year, but she never got in touch. A Pussycat Dolls reunion isn't out of the question. Five of us - and not Nicole - could happen. But all six? Never. Too much water under the bridge."

Justin Bieber has had a huge year financially. He earned $55 million in 12 months. But he didn’t top Forbes list of the highest-paid musicians.

That honor went to Dr. Dre, who pulled in $110 million.

Pink Floyd's Roger Waters ranked second with $88 million, with almost all of it coming from his The Wall Live tour. He grossed $158 million on 63 shows in the first six months of 2012.

Fellow Brit Elton John claimed the third spot with $80 million.

U2 ranks fourth with $78 million. British boy band Take That rounded out the top five with $69 million.

Other highlights on the list include: Toby Keith, who tied Bieber for tenth with $55 million. Taylor Swift earned $57 million, same as Paul McCartney.

Coldplay and Adele claimed the 21st and 22nd spots with $37 million and $35 million, respectively.
