From the looks of things, the rumors of Lindsay Lohan moving out of Samantha Ronson's house and in with her assistant Jen appear be true.

The "Mean Girls" starlet and her little sister, Ali, were spotted out and about with LiLo's helping hand earlier today (January 8), making their way to and from Jen's home in a black Cadillac Escalade SUV.

After running the day's errands, the trio eventually made it back to the assistant's home only to find themselves swarmed by paparazzi.

The previous night, Lindsay was out sans Ronson, as well, with a source telling E! News, "She seemed kind of indifferent, emotionless. It was definitely apparent her friends were trying to cheer her up. It looked to be a 'first night back out on the town' sort of thing."

In the end, John Travolta and Kelly Preston wanted to keep their son Jett close to their hearts and home.

Relatives and close friends gathered Thursday for a private memorial service at the family's Ocala, Fla., estate to say goodbye to the 16-year-old, who died suddenly last week after suffering a seizure.

James Gandolfini, Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood, Forest Whitaker, Lisa Marie Presley, Kirstie Alley and retired baseball star Cal Ripken Jr. were among the 100 or so people in attendance, according to the Ocala Star-Banner.

A female minister from the Church of Scientology was the only one who spoke during the hour-long service, which was held in a large tent set up outside the Travoltas' house and began around 4 p.m., a source told the newspaper.

When the service ended, Preston and Travolta, who had arrived with daughter Ella Bleu after the other guests were seated, kissed a large photograph of Jett that was set up behind the minister's podium.

Members of the press crowded outside the gates of the Jumbolair Aviation Estates, where residents can pilot their private planes practically up to their front doors, but the proceedings remained closed to outsiders.

Attendees were screened by black suit-clad security guards before being allowed to approach the Travoltas' house.

"The family is doing an incredibly good job keeping this private. With all the media here, no one's been able to get much," New York Post reporter Reuven Fenton told the Star-Banner.

Caterers and florist trucks had been passing in and out of the complex throughout the day, while neighbors and other well-wishers left mementos and flowers outside Jumbolair's main gate.

Today's service was expected to adhere to the Travolta's Scientologist faith, which a rep for the church said mainly entails a celebration of Jett's life and an acknowledgment of his "right to move on."

Jett's body was cremated, and his family returned to Florida with his remains on Monday.

Stepping out for a little afternoon pampering, Kim Kardashian was spotted paying a visit to her local Beverly Hills nail salon on Thursday (January 8).

Showing off her sexy curves in a white track jacket with black spandex pants, the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" starlet snuck in a manicure and pedicure as paparazzi eagerly snapped up shots.

Meanwhile, Miss Kardashian recently urged fans to go out and buy "Disaster Movie" now that it has been released on DVD - adding that there's some steamy bonus footage with co-stars Carmen Electra and Vanessa Minnillo.

On a sour note, the film has indubitably been named as one of the unlucky nominees for Worst Picture at this year's Razzie Awards.
