LOHAN AVOIDS 'DRAMA' AT DE BEERS PROTEST
Teen star Lindsay Lohan strode past protestors at the opening of the first American De Beers store on Wednesday, declaring she wouldn't get involved in any of their "drama."
The actress, 18, joined fellow stars Teri Hatcher and Vanessa Carlton to party at the diamond jewelers' bash on New York City's Fifth Avenue, despite the shouts of angry protestors.
Representatives from advocacy group Survival International, which claim De Beers' diamond mining in Botswana has led to the evictions of Gana and Gwi bushmen, shouted "shame on you" and "cultural genocide" as celebrities arrived for the launch.
Former De Beers spokesmodels Erin O'Connor and Iman reportedly stepped down from their roles after the allegations first surfaced.
When asked by reporters what she thought about the bushmen controversy, Lohan replied, "I don't get involved in any drama."
