First off, I'm not going to deny that I'm taking extreme pleasure in finally not being the one whose light-years behind on a story. (Thought I gotta admit, I'm pretty good at it.) Star, who can no longer remain smug in their finery, is just now reporting on the Joel Madden/Lindsay Lohan flirting debacle. Yeah, sure Star has inside details on Nicole Richie's reaction, but you know what I say to that? HA HA FRIST!:

The Good Charlotte rocker seemed more interested in a seductive Lindsay than in spinning records.

"Their heads were practically touching, and he had his leg over hers," says one onlooker. "Joel has a flirtatious side, and he definitely wasn't turning her away."

Making the situation worse, Nicole frantically tried to call Joel, but he wasn't answering his phone.

"He was so zeroed in on Lindsay, he never heard his cell ring," a friend of the couple tells Star. "Nicole felt so incredibly helpless and upset that she threw her phone against the wall in a rage."

I really can't fault Joel Madden for flirting with The Boobed One. When you look like Elmer Fudd's retarded twin brother, you take all the lady attention you can get. You know, before they sober up and realize Good Charlotte is a form of torture in some countries (i.e. This one.)
