Lindsay Lohan, Sam Ronson have been dating "a very long time"

What say you. Lindsay Lohan has confirmed what the world has long surmised.

She's been dating Samantha Ronson "a very long time."

Monday, Lindsay told Loveline, the syndicated radio program, that she’s officially dating the 31-year-old DJ.

Which is news only because although the gal pals have appeared in public kissing and hugging for some time, they’ve been coy about publicly commenting about the nature of their friendship

"You guys, you and Samantha, have been going out for how long now?" DJ Ted Stryker asked. "Like, two years, one year, five months, two months?"

"For a very long time," Lohan said after laughing.

Ronson was initially chatting with Stryker at the TV Guide Emmy after-bash Sunday night. She'd been talking about her friends DJ AM and Travis Barker, who are recovering from severe burns following a plane crash in South Carolina, before she put Lohan on the phone.

Lohan's publicist, Leslie Sloane-Zelnik, told AP Monday that Lohan is not engaged to be married.

But with these two, you just never know. Months or years from now, we could find out that they've been engaged or married "for a very long time."

It's confirmed: Clay's gay

Ahh another guy boy. Clay Aiken has apparently confirmed that he's gay.

What appears to be the cover of the forthcoming issue of People magazine was posted on the gossip Web site perezhilton.com yesterday. Aiken is posed with his new son, Parker Foster - who was delivered via a surrogate - and a headline proclaiming, "Yes, I'm Gay." The subhead continues: "The 'Idol' star opens up about his emotional decision to come out: 'I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things.'"

A call to Aiken's representative was not returned.

A representative for People magazine neither confirmed nor denied the cover's accuracy, MTV News reports. "We can confirm that Clay Aiken and his son are featured on the next issue of People," the rep said, adding that the complete story will appear today at the magazine's Web site.



Aiken, who was the runner-up on the second season of "American Idol," is currently appearing in "Spamalot" on Broadway.

Lilo to Palin: Stop Being Such a Mag Hag

What the Heck Lilo. LiLo ripped Palin apart last night in her blog, asking, "Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?" She then added the totally non-ironic comment, "Oh, and...Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don't pose for anymore tabloid covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!"
