It described Coleman as “a longtime friend of the Kidman family who advised them on the annulment of Kidman’s marriage with Tom Cruise.” . . . <b><strong>Lindsay Lohan’s</strong></b> penchant for splashing out cash may actually do some good. The “Mean Girls” star attended a party thrown by Interview magazine where Cartier’s LOVE bracelets were being sold benefiting a charity. Lohan was given a bracelet for free, but took out an eyebrow pencil and marked off another four of the $475 bracelets she wanted to buy. . . . Glamour magazine asked <b><strong>Uma Thurman</strong></b> for her advice about blue-jean fashion. “I’m really over looking at people squeezed into their jeans,” the star of My Super Ex Girlfriend told the mag. “I don’t want to know that much about anybody.” </p><p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span><em>Jeannette Walls Delivers the Scoop Mondays through Thursdays on
