Lindsay Lohan to convert to Judaism for girlfriend


Putting all break-up rumours to rest, Lindsay Lohan has decided to convert to Judaism in a bid to prove her devotion to Jewish girlfriend Samantha Ronson.The ‘Mean Girls’ star and her DJ girlfriend have been more in news because of public bust-ups than their lovey-dovey tales. But, on February 27, Lohan was spotted visiting a London synagogue with Ronson. According to the Mirror, when an onlooker asked the Hollywood starlet if she was converting, she replied: “I’m trying.”On March 1, the actress returned to the same synagogue in South Kensington as Samantha’s official date for the bar mitzvah of her half-brother Joshua Ronson. Later, Lindsay displayed her attachment with the family by joining in with the post-bar mitzvah lunch in London’s Mandarin Oriental hotel.The 22-year-old actress is also said to have updated her Facebook profile with the words “I’m converting”, in a bid to make her decision “official”. But before an official conversion can take place, Lindsay, who was brought up Catholic, has to first learn the lessons in the Jewish faith.
