How many times will hackers expose personal celebrity information before they get an external hard drive? Apparently everyone’s favorite rehabbed starlet’s MySpace has been allegedly hacked yet again and this time Lilo’s love letters have been revealed addressed to none other than DJ and club kid Samantha Ronson. But the question remains: Who the hell is Samantha Ronson and where did she come from?

Ronson’s mother is Ann Jones, a British party loving socialite/rock star wife and, of all things, a philanthropist, who supports youth rehabilitation charities. The mother of five is married to Rick Jones from the band Foreigner. Other famous offspring include son Mark, a New York DJ and daughter Charlotte (Samantha‘s twin) of the Charlotte Ronson Fashion line .

Born into a world of limos and high society, the Ronson clan only seems to be climbing higher atop the social scene. Their lovely mother was quoted in New York Magazine saying; “I am known as Mummy Dearest, I changed the locks when Mark snuck out to Sean Lennon’s because Pearl Jam was coming over. I told the nanny — I was away at the time — he will not sneak in the back door.”

Surrounded by Picasso and Helmut Newton, the Ronsons were friends with all sorts of rock, hip hop and Hollywood royalty. Not at all a stranger to the spotlight, it seems Samantha Ronson is finally getting her 15 minutes to shine. That is if shining means playing a few gigs, getting your friend busted for cocaine possession and still having time to stop the SUV in just the right place to get that front page photo.

Many speculate that Samantha was hired by the media to set up Lindsay and exploit her secrets. Although it becomes more and more apparent that Lindz wasn’t making much of an attempt to hide. Sadly, it seems the world may never know. In the meantime, Ronson is suing Perez Hilton for twenty million dollars simply for the accusation.

So, she didn’t come out of nowhere, in fact, she definitely came from somewhere — a high society New York haven. Her family is famous for extravagance, money and name dropping. Seems as though Samantha is laying the ground work to truly make her mother proud. They actually don’t make such a bad couple, Dina and Ann that is, a couple of fame-hungry stage moms.

Everything I do – I do it for you”

Oh Bryan, how many times have I secretly turned that song up in the car, letting that raspy voice of yours lull me into a romantic haze? You’re my secret boyfriend. And that song you sing with Sting (my other secret boyfriend) and Rod Stewart (who I don’t want to be my boyfriend at all) where you all urge me to make it “all for one and all for love” has the ability to transport me out of my cynical cloud for two whole minutes.

I’m not ashamed of my secret soft spot for soft rock. I’m not embarrassed that whenever a Backstreet Boys ballad mysterious turns up on my iTunes, I let it play out entirely, soaking up every syrupy sound wave. In this complicated world, soft rock is there to pretend things are simple. Love is love, heartbreak is heartbreak, and everyone is willing to die for a lifetime with their soul mate. After weekends full of “hey baby, why don’t me and you go into the bathroom and make out?”, it’s always nice to know Phil Collins is there, waiting to tell me he “can’t stop loving me” as many times as I feel like replaying the track.

VH1 knows what I’m talking about. Their newest special, entitled 40 Most Softsational Soft Rock Songs (playing tonight at 9PM EST and probably every day afterwards), promises to “indulge in sax-heavy, irony-free classics from the likes of Lionel Richie, Bread, Captain & Tennille, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Phil Collins, Norah Jones, Gordon Lightfoot, Kenny Loggins, Chicago, Mr. Michael Bolton, and dozens of other gentle giants”.

So tonight, instead of going out and letting weird dudes touch your ass, curl up on the couch, light those scented candles you bought but have never lit because nothing romantic enough has happened, and indulge in a little vintage Whitney.

Need a little help making a sappy soft rock playlist? Here are some of my favorites.

• I Want To Know What Love Is – Foriegner

Foriegner really wants to know what love is. You can tell how badly by lead singer Lou Gramm’s incredibly high falsetto yells.

• Keep on Loving You – REO Speedwagon

His chick cheated on him, he knows about it, but he still wants to spend his life loving her. What adorable stupidity.

• Another Day in Paradise – Phil Collins

A song about the homeless with a crazily catchy hook. See if you can listen to it all the way through without wanting to find a kid in a poor country to spend 10 cents a day on.

• Broken Wings – Mr. Mister

He’s so desperate he’s turned to a bird analogy. Killer.

• I Will Always Love You – Whitney Houston

Before she was weird and addicted to drugs, she could hold those power notes

like no other.

• I Want it That Way – Backstreet Boys

The lyrics make no sense. But who cares? You lip-synched to it in junior high, and it’s never gotten old.
