Lindsay Lohan confirmed for 2010 Opera Ball

By Thomas Hochwarter

Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan will accompany infamous Austrian playboy Richard Lugner to the Viennese Opera Ball on 11 February, it has emerged today (Weds).

Lugner, 77, recently hit the headlines when it was claimed he was trying to bring British model Katie Price to the event to which he has accompanied stars like Grace Jones, Paris Hilton and Carmen Electra in the past.

The entrepreneur – who has his own TV series documenting his daily life – was accompanied by burlesque artist Dita Von Teese last year.
