Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan carry groceries back to Samantha's house after shopping at a local market in L.A (05/16/08).

Lindsay is just friends with DJ Samantha Ronson, her sister Ali Lohan
has insisted.

Rumors have been rife Lindsay and openly gay Samantha are lovers, after
they were seen cuddling and sporting love bites in France.

However, Ali has hit out at the speculation, saying: "They're best friends.
It's pathetic what people say."

Ali and Lindsay's mother Dina echoed the sentiments, calling Samantha an
"amazing girl" and adding: "It's so silly. We actually laugh about it now.

It really does hurt but you develop a thick skin. You have to ignore it."

In the joint interview, screened on 'Extra', Ali and Dina also
defended their upcoming reality show 'Living Lohan' - which sees Dina trying
to carve out a successful showbiz career for her daughter.

Dina said they were appearing in the series to "set the record straight as
to who we are as people".

Ali, 14, added: "My mom is just a regular mom trying to help her kids follow
their dreams."
