I thought it was one of my buddies messin’ around, but he goes, ‘Hey, man, hahaha.’ He knows he’s blowing people’s minds coming back.” They’re making up for lost time. “We hit Butter a couple nights ago with Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Meadow Soprano [Jamie-Lynn Sigler], and Lance Bass.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
