This was announced yesterday, but I kind of felt like “eh, I already knew that.” It seems that Lindsay Lohan has officially been “hired” to be some old guy’s date. Now, I don’t know if she’s being paid for anything sexual, but she is being paid to show up to the opera with this dude. The guy is an eccentric, 77-year-old Austrian named Richard Lugner, and apparently he does this every year. He hires some famous girl or woman to be his date for the opera – he’s previously hired Paris Hilton (pictured with him in the photo below), Dita Von Teese and Carmen Electra.
VIENNA — A limelight-loving Austrian says he’s taking Lindsay Lohan to the famous Vienna Opera Ball next month.
Richard Lugner, a quirky 77-year-old entrepreneur known for his young girlfriends and appearance on reality TV, invites a different female star to the flashy event each year and keeps local media in suspense for weeks before divulging his pick.
Lohan is an American actress who has starred in films such as “Mean Girls” and “Herbie Fully Loaded.”
Lugner’s recent dates include Nicollette Sheridan, Dita Von Teese and Paris Hilton. This year’s Opera Ball takes place Feb. 11. Lugner announced his choice Wednesday.
[From Huffington Post]
Let’s see, what else do we know about this old dude? Blackbook Magazine reports that he’s also gone on high-profile “dates” with the likes of Joan Collins, Sophia Loren, Grace Jones, Sarah, Duchess of York, Raquel Welch, Faye Dunaway, Jacqueline Bisset, and Farrah Fawcett.” No one knows how much he pays these women for their appearance at the opera, but Blackbook also notes that his “dates” must agree to sign autographs at Lugner City, his own shopping mall in Vienna. He’s been doing this since he divorced his third wife in 2007, the same year he invited Paris Hilton to be his date. Oh, and apparently he has admitted to injecting his eyelids with Botox “like George Clooney”. For goodness sake.
In other Lohan news, Lindsay gave an interview to Life & Style about all of those “cutting” rumors. Lindsay tells the magazine that “’I've had that scar on my arm for a very long time now – it’s funny it’s just being noticed.” Haha, funny. Does she not know what “funny” means? Lindsay also claims that “I’ve been through my ups and downs and learned from my mistakes. I’m in a wonderful place mentally, physically and spiritually.” Haha, “spiritually.” Okay, now that’s funny Lindsay.

I’m not surprised, at all. At the rate she was going, it was either being a paid escort, or dead. This was probably the right choice for her.

Richard Lugner has been doing this for almost twenty years, and it has nothing to do with dating or his wife – she used to come along before the divorce. It’s completely about self-promotion, and why should it be wrong for Lindsay Lohan to do something Grace Jones, Claudia Cardinale and Faye Dunaway haven’t sniffed at?

well, in all fairness – while the guy is definitely trashy with a side of sleazy he does not pay those ladies for a “date”. he has a girlfriend and was married while he “invited” most of th other celebrity ladies. they are paid guests of him and his wife/girlfriend for promotion reasons. and because he’s an attention *****. he once ran for the austrian presidency in order to promote that stupid shopping mall and there was a life elephant involved in the campaign…

It’s true that this guy has been doing this for a very long time. All of these women he has “dated” were actually paid to appear at the Vienna ball with him (and his wife before the divorce). These women are paid quite a bit, something like 1/2 million to a million (I remember that Sarah, the Duchess got a million).
Personally, I think Lindsay should feel flattered to have been invited. But then, after he paid Paris I don’t think any women of the caliber of Claudia Cardinale or Sophia Loren would agree to be seen with him anymore. He has officially gone down market!! But if Lindsay can get a good fee, a new designer gown, AND get her picture in all the international media, it’s a good thing. That is, if she can stay sober long enough to perform her “duties”!! HA!!

The pay is purely for expenses, such as buying a dress, stylists, travel costs. Don’t kid yourself–self-promotion is expensive!

@Arvedia – you said all that I was going to say! So instead, I’m just gonna say: Amen, sistah!
Still, it has to be said that in recent years, Lugner, when he had the choice between a high-profile skank and a high-profile normal woman, always picked the skanks. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’d actually wanted Megan Fox but only managed to get his hands on Lindsay this time around.

A couple of my friends do this and make some great money doing so with no expectations or strings attached. Though, in my mind, it’s kinda tacky.

“Funny” means “peculiar” or “odd”, so her usage is correct.
If this guy had picked her four years ago I could see it, but in 2010? Maybe LiLo is big in Austria or something.

10 bucks says she gets wasted before the opera even starts and ends up ditching him during intermission to go to a nightclub or something.
Seriously, Lindsay at an opera? You might as well let a pack of rabid wolves loose in an art museum.

I could never accept so much money just to go on a date with somebody, I don’t understand other peoples lack of conscience about money.

@ WTF?!?
“If this guy had picked her four years ago I could see it, but in 2010? Maybe LiLo is big in Austria or something.”
He’s not famous. He’s immensely hated in Austria, but doesn’t get the message yet. I can’t stand his fuck-face.

20$ say she’ll puke smack-dab in the middle of the festival, right in front of the cameras!

Once I saw an escort very similar to her… It was only a pisture but I would never have thought that it was really her!

GatsbyGal:
It is Vienna Opera BALL, i.e. a formal ball (dance) held in the building of the Opera, so there is no opera and no intermission.
