Broken-hearted starlet

Lindsay Lohan

has spilled the beans on her acrimonious split from

Samantha Ronson

, saying that she's going through "absolute hell".

Speaking exclusively to Us magazine, LiLo describes how Ronson

dumped her

last Friday after two years of dating, calling it "the worst night of my life".

The combative former couple hitched a ride to Splitsville after what's been reported as a series of arguments last week, culminating in

Ronson barring LiLo 

from a showbiz bash in Hollywood, and locking her former lady love from her home.

As LiLo took time to lick her wounds after her relationship spiraled out of control, she finally declared on Monday that she and Ronson were "

taking a brief break so I can focus on myself

."

Restraining order

But the Ronson camp has a slightly different take on things.

Reports surfaced yesterday that the Ronson clan were mulling over the idea of having a

restraining order slapped

on LiLo, following a weekend of wild rows between the exes.

"On Monday, April 6, 2009, at approximately 5 p.m., members of Samantha Ronson's family came to the Beverly Hills Police Department," a police representative reportedly said.

"They were given information for the process of obtaining a restraining order, which will be administered at the Santa Monica Superior Courthouse."

Ok! magazine claimed that family members were looking into filing a restraining order because Ronson wanted to "send a message" to LiLo.

Ronson's sister, fashion designer Charlotte, reportedly

spoke to police

about the warring damsels.

"She [Lohan] does these things to get attention," she said of the troubled starlet's actions. "She was trying to get into my party this weekend. We had to tell security to keep her out. Then she booked a room at the Chateau Marmont. Her room was right below... She also followed our brother Mark around."

But in a predicable about face, Ronson's lawyer has now piped up and says that the DJ doesn't need a hand from the law to keep LiLo at bay.

Her lawyer tells people.com: "

Samantha has no plan to request a restraining order. There is no basis for one

."

And a snitch tells the mag: "

Sam does not want a restraining order against Lindsay Lohan. Sam had nothing to do with the restraining order against Lindsay that the police are talking about

."

"Sam and Lindsay are broken up, but Sam does not feel she's in any danger whatsoever. She thinks the whole thing is absurd."

So does LiLo. She's spitting tacks over the humiliating break-up, and tells Us magazine in a tearful interview that she was "baffled by the turn of events."

"I'm not a bad person and this is what happens," a weeping Lohan said. "I was raised to treat people well, and I'm so tired of this drama."

Describing how she was barred by security guards (supposedly under direction from Ronson) from entering an after party for Ronson's sister, she says it was the "worst night of my life".

"Everyone's turned on me," she says. Adding that she was treated with distain by schleb

at the event. Ritchie supposedly walked by her and said "Uck". Whatever that means.

"I'm a f****** 22-year-old girl who's in love," she says. "I felt like I was in

Mean Girls

, but worse:

Mean Girls

was a movie."

Rumours have been rife that Ronson tried to break up with LiLo over the past month, yet every time she threatened to bring down the curtain, LiLo allegedly threatened to kill herself. An allegation the actress shrugs off with a chuckle.

"I'm just really hurt!" she says. "The whole situation is sick."

Let's party!

Then we stumbled upon this juicy tidbit on Foxnews.com. In a rather

naughty yet compelling report

, the scandal sheet attempts to unravel the curious case of LiLo, and

lost weekend.

Most curious of all is LiLo's alleged "door knocking rampage" after she was turfed out of the party. The report says she sought an injection of fun elsewhere at the venue, stumbled upon a gaggle of partying ladies and wanted a piece of the action.

"There was a knock-at-the door and Lindsay Lohan was there.

"She was as orange as a carrot* and her pupils were as big as quarters. She looked awful!"

*That'll be the

Meanwhile, Brit tabloid

Mirror

claims that LiLo has thrown herself into the arms of another endeavor as she navigates the bumpy road from love - fake tanning. She's apparently lined up a team of fake-tanners to make her over.

A snitch says: "Linds is so hooked [on fake tanning], she has beauticians come to her home and apply lotion to her as a pick-me-up.

"She actually launched her own self-tan product last month as she is so addicted to getting rid of dodgy looking streaks."

Papa's preach

And of course, we've saved the best for last. A LiLo meltdown isn't complete without a papa Lohan intervention...

Lohan's estranged father,

Michael

, has resurfaced and wants us all to know he couldn't be happier about his daughter's love split. "Well, thank God," he told ABCNews.com.

"I think it's a healthy decision that she take a break and relax and pursue her own career and her own goals. What they had was very toxic. It had become very toxic."

"Lindsay doesn't need to keep following Samantha around," he said. "She needs to sit down with her parents. She needs the support of both of us to help her along. Lindsay's an emotional person. I want her to get on with her life in the right direction and a healthy way."

Hallellujah! Praise the Lord! Let's speak in tongues. We agree with the man for a change.

Moving on...

Make it stop. Full stop.

Keira Knightley

has caused a bit of a stir after she appeared in a shocking new advert for charity Women's Aid in the UK. The ad is part of a campaign against domestic violence, featuring the star being beaten by a bloke who accuses her of cheating. It's a strong message.

Of her decision to star in the ad, she said:

"I wanted to take part in this advert for Women's Aid because while domestic violence exists in every section of society, we rarely hear about it. Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week."

Warning:

Contains scenes of violence. Not for the faint-hearted...

A leaked memo sent to staff at the venue reveals an extensive list of bits and bobs she must have backstage.

Gems include:
