Lindsay Lohan’s alleged girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, slapped two blog owners with a $20 million libel suit on Thursday. Ronson was infuriated after Perez Hilton and Celebrity Babylon insinuated that the cocaine found in Lohan’s car during a Memorial Day arrest was actually hers.
Named as defendants were Jill Ishkanian, who runs the Sunset Photo and News Agency, and Mario Lavandeira, who blogs as Perez Hilton.
In June, Hilton repeated the cocaine claim that first appeared on CelebrityBabylon.com, a Web site operated by Sunset Photo.
That site claimed Ronson was “making a tidy profit on the side, shilling Lohan, 20, out to photographers eager to get her photo looking passed out and wasted.”
It continued: “If that wasn’t shocking enough, sources say that it was Ronson who was holding the cocaine later found in Lindsay’s car.”
Although the suit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, Ishkanian said she was not aware of it when contacted by the Daily News. “This is the first I’m hearing about it,” she said yesterday. “I have no comment.”
Perez already has a handful of suits against him pending, so I’m sure this was just another day at the office for him.

Haha, in that picture it almost looks like Samantha Ronson is trying to put some kind of spell on Linds.
“Look into my eyes. You are getting wasted, you’re going to be passing out soon…”
