Samantha Ronson 'Calms' Lindsay Lohan's Wild Behaviour

Lindsay Lohan has turned over a new leaf due to the “calming effect” her rumoured girlfriend Samantha Ronson is having on her.

The Mean Girls star, formally known for her wild child behaviour including calling in “sick” for movie shoots and partying until the crack of dawn, has impressed colleagues on her most recent movie.

A source tells Page Six: "She's showing up early for call time (on her new flick, Labor Pains), she knows her lines and her co-workers actually like her. She's a total pro now."

The reason for this is apparently her DJ pal Samantha who "has a calming effect on her."

Another factor in her changed attitude is distancing herself from bad influences such as her mom-ager Dina and dad Michael, claims the publication.

Do you prefer good girl LiLo or the wild child demeanour? Be sure to leave your comments below.

Rockers Poison sue label over royalties

LOS ANGELES —

Members of the rock band Poison claim their recording label has consistently underpaid royalties to the group throughout their career, according to a lawsuit.


The suit, filed Wednesday against Capitol Records and EMI Music Marketing, says the companies breached contracts with the band by improperly categorizing certain record sales and miscalculating everything from producer royalties to foreign taxes.


According to the band's lawsuit, they signed a contract with Enigma Records in 1986, which later transferred control to Capitol Records.


A representative for Capitol and EMI did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment Thursday.


The group claims it tried to audit the band's records kept by Capitol, but the firm didn't fully cooperate.


The band stated in its lawsuit that it cannot determine how much money it is owed and asked a judge to order Capitol Records to allow a full accounting review of the band's records.


Poison gained fame in the late 1980s and early '90s, recording hits such as "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" and "Talk Dirty to Me."
