Lindsay’ s back to her bad old ways!

After her highly public three separate trips to rehab last year, Lindsay Lohan emerged from her treatments claiming that she was sick of being seen as a party girl, and wanted to be known for her acting abilities.

Churning out three flop movies in quick succession, Lindsay managed to stay out of the spotlight for a while, following her third rehab stint, at Utah's Cirque Lodge.

But over the past week, party girl Lindsay has returned with a vengeance and the 21-year-old former child star has fallen off the wagon, allegedly collapsed after partying too hard and had a public spat with Ashley Olsen...

‘Collapsed in a stupor'
Lindsay's partying seems to have taken its toll on her, as club-goers reported the actress staggering and swaying outside the club at 4:15am, before apparently collapsing, with People magazine reporting that Lohan drank so much, she lost her balance and collapsed to the floor before being put into a taxi.

And sources have come forward to insist that, even during her brief stints of sobriety, the bottle of water Lindsay is usually seen carrying out of clubs is actually filled with vodka.

Fight with Ashley Olsen
Fiercely protective over her friendship with Samantha Ronson, LiLo was said to be incensed when Ashley Olsen started chatting to the DJ at NY nightclub Beatrice Inn, last week.

According to Page Six, after Ashley said hello to Samantha, Lindsay screamed, "Get your 15-year-old Full House a** away from my girlfriend!"

And the Olsen row follows a spat with Sam herself, after Linds felt her pal was ignoring her during a recent night out.

"Lindsay said Samantha was ignoring her," said an onlooker. "But Samantha was focused on her work and didn't leave the [DJ] booth for anything."

‘Knocking back drinks'
She's been arrested twice for driving under the influence and attended AA meetings, but New York sources say Lindsay is well and truly back on the booze, and has been spotted knocking back her favourite vodka and Red Bulls.

Partying with Samantha at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone in New York until 4am, last week, clubbers revealed, "She was seen hanging out with friends, smoking cigarettes, drinking Grey Goose [vodka] and Red Bull, and just supporting her friend, who's the DJ."

Oblivious?
Lindsay doesn't think she has a problem...

Just dancing:
"Is it a crime to go... dancing with your friends? I have a life and I have my family and I have work and I have those three things."

Not addicted:
"I don't know that I'm necessarily an addict."

In denial:
"People say, ‘Oh, she goes out and she parties'. No, we are just going out and having fun."

Pleading innocent:
"I'm innocent... did not do drugs, they're not mine."

Zero willpower:
"That's not to say I'll never go to a club again because I'd be lying."
