Miami, Dec. 31 '05 – Jan. 1, '06 – We rang in the New Year with Lindsay Lohan at Prive in balmy Miami – barely, as she arrived just a few minutes before midnight. The 19-year-old movie star brought along her mom, Dina, to the party, and stayed about two hours. Nicole Richie stopped by to greet Lindsay.

What a week this has been for Lohan. Maybe she ran into her former flame, Wilmer Vaderrama, the next day in South Beach, as we did, and that triggered her severe asthma attack and subsequent hospitalization. In a Vanity Fair interview on newsstands this week, Lohan discusses her Valderrama-related emotional trauma, and also admits to having eating disorders and using drugs.

Also at the party was quasi-Paris Hilton pal Joe Francis, who inadvertently made his own sex tape. Predictably, the Girls Gone Wild creator had his eye on America’s Next Top Model winner Nicole Linkletter.
