Lindsay Lohan arriving at Nozomi restaurant in London (1/2)

So now we know why Lindsay Lohan has been in London the past week acting like a person with a real life bank account full of actual money. Not only were all of her expenses picked up by Prince Azim of Brunei (read: oil money), but he also paid her $100k to show up to his New Year's Eve party. From the New York Daily News:

She collected at least $100,000 to celebrate with Brunei's Haji Abdul Azim. Known worldwide as Prince Azim, he throws some of the wildest, most lavish bashes ever, topped off with gift bags stuffed with expensive party favors like iPads and jewelry dripping with diamonds.

"Prince Azim not only flew her out; he put her up in a beautiful suite in the Dorchester for the weekend and following the party. Her mom, Dina, is also in London with her at the hotel and attended the party," says the source.

Oh how nice of Dina to come to the party with Lindsay. She probably wanted to keep an eye on her alcoholic daughter to make sure she was acting responsibly. "The key is to pace yourself, Lindsay. That way you pass out after taking advantage of the free champagne for six hours, instead of only one."
