Austrian Billionaire Pays $150,000 for a Date with Lindsay Lohan

Austrian billionaire Richard Lugner is continuing his 19 year old tradition of buying a celebrity date to one of Austria's premier social events, the Vienna Opera Ball, and this year the lucky lady will be none other than Lindsay Lohan. Lugner is a 77 year old divorced father of three that apparently gets a kick out of paying for bombshell celebrity escorts -- in years past he's had the likes of Paris Hilton, Pamela Anderson, and Sophia Loren on his arm for the event. This year Lohan was his second choice, after British actress Katie Price became unavailable, and rumors suggest she's turning out to be a high-maintenance date as she's refusing to choose a gown ahead of time and Lugner is going to be partly responsible for making sure she doesn't drink during the event (including having all the liquor removed from the mini-bar in her hotel room).

I;m not entirely sure but how does Lindsay Lohan fit into the "bombshell" category? I mean dont get me wrong I wouldnt kick her outa bed unless she wanted to do it on the floor but if you're paying that much for a date at least get someone that looks amazing...

1 of the stipulations for her was that he had to throw in his grandmother for her to eat after the party

$150K would pay for a lot of high quality snatch, why drop down to that skank lessy.

Could you imagine the damage you could do, if you told a Vegas strip club, I'm coming down there with $150K to blow?
