Back in September, during New York Fashion Week, Ali Lohan stepped outside and got pap’d. The paparazzi photos caused a massive stir – Ali looked drastically different. Go here to see those photos. Many of us thought that Ali had gotten some major face work done – a nose job (which she had done months ago), lip injections, and something done to her cheeks. Plus, she had lost a drastic amount of weight. After the photos caused a Crackie Code Red, Linnocent ran to various media outlets to deny that Ali had been worked on, and Ali’s new modeling agency (because she’s a working model now, except that she hasn’t booked any jobs to my knowledge) also issued a denial about Ali’s plastic surgery.

After that, it’s like Ali went into hiding for more than a month. But now that Linnocent needs to look good for the court (I guess?), so LL has been trotting out her little sister for some pap sessions. Ali was spotted in LA over the weekend, shopping with her sister, and then yesterday, Ali was seen entering Linnocent’s Venice Beach condo.

So what changes has Ali gone through lately? Her face is looking much better, I think. Whatever they were injecting into her cheeks has either settled or worked its way out. Her lips don’t look as jacked anymore. And she’s put on a little bit of weight since early September – she still looks very thin, but not as scary-skinny as before. Hopefully, Lindsay and Dina realized that whatever they had encouraged Ali to do was a bad call, and they’ve pulled back. Of course, I am talking about the Lohan family, so this is all probably just a precursor to something even worse.

I’m expecting Ali today, at Linnocent’s court appearance. I mean, it’s not like Ali has school or work or anything. Sigh… poor Ali.
