So apparently Lindsay Lohan has a new boyfriend . . . and he just happens to be a "super-wealthy NYC-based hotelier." What luck! From Star (via Cele|bitchy):

[Vikram Chatwal] has showered her with perks like penthouse digs, fancy dinners and the use of his private jet during her recent weeklong visit to his Chatwal hotel in Manhattan. And he’s trying to help her stay sober!

“Lindsay and Vikram have known each other socially for a while, but they’ve gotten closer since she got out of rehab earlier this year,” says a source, who notes that Vikram completed a stint in rehab for alcohol addiction in 2009 and has been clean since. “He’s looking out for her and being super protective.”

But since Vikram is in the midst of a divorce from his wife of five years, actress Priya Sachdev, “He and Lindsay are taking it slow,” says the source.

Oh my gosh, what are the chances that Lindsay would fall in love with a guy who she later finds out is obscenely rich? Well, I'm sure you've heard the old saying: love sometimes works in mysterious ways . . . especially when rent is almost due . . . and you're just dying to get that new purse . . . and your lawyer keeps bugging you about last month's payment.
