Dirty dancing Moss, Lohan
Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss put on a steamy pole-dance show early Wednesday morning at the New York strip club Scores, the New York Post reported.
Lohan, who denied the Vanity Fair story about her drugs-and-bulimia battle, Moss (dubbed “Cocaine Kate” by the British tablolids) and other gal pals ordered round after round of vodka shots, raspberry Kamikazes and beer, an eyewitness told the Post. About 400 men watched with delight as Moss, who turns 32 Monday, jumped on the stage, grinding against a pole, before being joined by Lohan, 19.
Celebrity photographer James Edstrom heard Moss yell at a dancing Lohan, “You’re a pro, Lindsay! You should do this for a living!”
