The pair stuck together all night, holding hands and being affectionate. While the two say they're just friends, they're frequent travel and party companions – with Lohan, 21, joining Ronson for many of her deejay sets.
Mom Dina Lohan also recently talked to PEOPLE about Ronson, calling her "a sweetheart."
"She's great – and she's the best spinner around," Lohan tells PEOPLE. And while their daughters are pals, so is Dina and Ronson's mother, writer Ann Dexter-Jones: "I'm friends with her mom," Lohan says. "She's raised some extremely talented kids. It's a talented family."
NEW YORK, New York -- Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus and Charlize Theron were among the celebrities who appeared at the fifth annual Fashion Rocks concert celebrating the relationship between music and fashion. They walked the red carpet Friday night at Radio City Music Hall amid a media circus angling for glamour shots of other stars including Fergie, Rihanna, Chris Brown and the “Gossip Girl” gang. Brown, the R&B heartthrob, soaked up all the attention with a smile as he showed off his dapper ensemble of a black vest and shirt, gray pants, shiny shoes and diamond stud earrings. “To be a musician and a great entertainer, you have to be a trendsetter. To be a trendsetter, you have to know fashion — and I have fun with it,” explained the singer, who later changed into khakis and a black shirt and scarf for a performance of his hit song “Forever.” The event will air Tuesday in a two-hour special on CBS. Proceeds will benefit Stand Up To Cancer, a program established by the Entertainment Industry Foundation to raise money for cancer research. Stand Up To Cancer held a live telethon that aired simultaneously on ABC, NBC and CBS on Friday night. Fashion Rocks provided a live feed to the fundraising show of a performance of more than a dozen divas — including Beyonce, Mariah Carey, Natasha Bedingfield, Fergie, Rihanna and Cyrus — who gathered on stage to sing their new charity song, “Just Stand Up.” Theron and fellow Oscar winner Hilary Swank introduced the ladies’ collaboration. Bedingfield said she lost her grandmother to the disease several years ago, and was thrilled to share the spotlight with the other singers. “This is the first time we’re all together singing the song,” she said backstage. “It was really special. It was really like a sisterhood, like a bond. … We’re all used to being the stars — the only star in the room — and it was really nice I think that everyone could just come together and really support each other.” Other performers included Timberlake, Kid Rock, Keith Urban, Duffy, the Pussycat Dolls and the Black Eyed Peas. A highlight was Timberlake and Beyonce’s sizzling duet of “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing,” which channeled the soulful sound of the classic song’s original singers, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Stars mingled and sipped cocktails backstage in the green room, where Leighton Meester of the CW teen drama “Gossip Girl” and her actor-beau Sebastian Stan hung out before she introduced Duffy’s performance of “Mercy.” Meester’s “Gossip” co-star Chace Crawford chatted up actress Hayden Panettiere, who embraced her rock-star side in a silver Ferragamo minidress and black heels. “I usually try to mix class and then really funk it out,” Panettiere said of her personal style. “It’s rock meets class. I try — not always succeed, but I try.” Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Don’t let the celebrities at a Jermaine Dupri party distract you from partying, or you might get an admonishment from the host himself. “At Jermaine Dupri parties, (people) don’t stand around taking pictures,” he said, in more colorful language, as some at his MTV “Video Music Awards” kickoff party focused their cameras on stars in the crowd Friday night. “It’s star-studded all around this (place).” The superproducer and sometime rapper threw the party, along with his Tag Records, to kick off the weekend of parties being held for Sunday’s MTV “VMAs” and to promote the label’s new artist, rapper Q, who performed. Dupri might have been generous by describing the crowd as “star-studded”: The biggest celebrity sighting was that of actor Taye Diggs and rapper Fabolous. Angela and Vanessa Simmons of MTV’s reality show “Run’s House” also attended. Still, the celebrity quotient didn’t seem to influence how much fun the crowd had. The dance floor was packed into the early morning as old-school rapper D-Nice worked the turntables, providing a steady stream of hip-hop hits to keep the party jumping. Dupri’s party was just one of the pre-“VMA” events being held on Friday that lured celebrities. Earlier, the Gibson guitar company hosted a gifting suite that drew stars including reality TV villain Omorosa and “Grey’s Anatomy’s” Justin Chambers, his wife and their children. Chambers wasn’t sure if he would attend Sunday’s “VMAs,” but said there was one celebrity he was looking forward to seeing on the broadcast. “I hear Britney Spears is opening up. I don’t know if I’m excited but I would like to see her make a comeback from last year,” referring to the pop queen’s disastrous kickoff performance at the 2007 “VMAs.” Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press.

There was much dancing: Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are married, according to reports.
In the biggest celebrity union since California legalized same-sex marriage, DeGeneres, 50, and de Rossi, 35, wed Saturday night in an intimate ceremony at their Beverly Hills home, People and Us Magazine reported.
A publicist for DeGeneres confirmed People’s report and gave no further comment.
After the California Supreme Court’s ruling in May, the talk-show host announced that she and de Rossi would wed after four years together.
The ceremony was attended by 19 guests, including DeGeneres’ mom, Betty, and de Rossi’s mother, Margaret Rogers, who had flown in from Australia, People.com reported Saturday night.
DeGeneres said after winning her fourth consecutive Daytime Emmy for talk show host in June that a date had not been set, and that she would show “a tiny bit” of the nuptials on her show.
While opponents in California have gathered signatures to put a measure on the November ballot for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, Hollywood was throwing its support behind the newlyweds.
“One of my favorite people of all time is Ms. Ellen DeGeneres,” Katherine Heigl, star of “Grey’s Anatomy,” told Associated Press Television News at a Hollywood charity event on Saturday night. “So I wish all the best, all the happiness, all the joy that comes with that certificate ... just the joy of being able to stand up and say that. In front of everyone you love and care about in front of each other and to walk away legal is huge.”
Tila Tequila, whose dating reality show fame is built somewhat on her affinity for both men and women, passed along her good wishes — with only one small complaint.
“I love Ellen (DeGeneres); I watch her show all the time,” Tequila told APTN. “I just want to say congratulations, and I am really sorry you didn’t invite me to your wedding.”

Affleck's pal, director Kevin Smith told Us last month that the couple were "looking for a bigger house now. "[Ben] came over last week and told me, 'I'm having another baby!'" he said. "He's a good dad, man." Affleck himself said in June: "We're very happy. Things couldn't be better. We're kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home."
