James Devaney/WireImage.comLindsay Lohan is in. Britney Spears is out.
I hear Lindsay will likely be replacing Spears as host for next week’s Scandinavian Style Mansion gala in Los Angeles.
Spears was originally asked to host the soiree, which promotes high-end Scandinavian fashion, but organizer Claus Hjelmbak announced shortly after she was hospitalized in early January that she would no longer be fulfilling her duties.
“As a friend, my primary concern is for Britney’s well-being and giving her the love and support she needs,” Hjelmbak (left, with Spears in December) told E! News at the time.
Hjelmbak did not return calls today, but several sources tell me that Lohan has signed on. “I think so,” Lohan’s rep also said when asked if she’d be the night’s host.
Spears celebrated her 26th birthday at a Scandinavian Style Mansion event in December. Guests included celebrity host Sharon Stone and Paris Hilton.
