SINGAPORE : Hollywood starlet and paparazzi magnet Lindsay Lohan will step in for Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger to host F1 Rocks, organisers said.
"We got a call... saying Lindsay Lohan was really keen to come to Singapore," said Paul Morrison, chief executive officer of British-based events company All The Worlds, the concert promoter behind F1 Rocks.
While Morrison is baffled as to why the starlet is so keen on the hosting gig, we think it has something to do with gal pal and DJ Samantha Ronson who is also headed this way to spin at the Fuel Festival at Novus.
Scherzinger reportedly pulled out of F1 Rocks last week after splitting with her F1 driver boyfriend Lewis Hamilton, although the McLaren driver has repeatedly denied the break-up.
Besides Lohan, other considerations for the position included singer Katy Perry, former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham as well as "a number of the Spices", said Morrison.
F1 Rocks, a three-day concert which is held in conjunction with the Formula One night race in Singapore, features big names like Beyonce, Black-Eyed Peas, No Doubt, Mando-pop artistes Jacky Cheung and A-Mei.
F1 Rocks kicks off Thursday and will be broadcast on television in 140 countries.
