Lohan resolves case over car chase

LOS ANGELES

Lindsay Lohan has resolved a case filed by three men she took on a high-speed ride that resulted in her second driving-under-the- influence arrest in 2007.

Attorneys for the 25-year-old actress and the men confirmed Wednesday the lawsuit has been settled before trial. Terms were not disclosed.

Lohan’s attorney Ed McPherson says a dismissal notice will be filed in court. He says Lohan now can devote her full attention to her career.

Attorney Randall Billington, who represents the men, says he is happy the case has been resolved and wishes Lohan the best.

Dante Nigro, Jakon Sutter and Ronnie Blake sued Lohan in 2008 claiming they were endangered when the actress commandeered a sport- utility vehicle and chased a woman she believed was her personal assistant.

Liquor license pulled after celebrity brawl

NEW YORK

A New York City nightclub that was the site of a bottle-hurling brawl after a dispute between the entourages of singers Drake and Chris Brown has had its liquor license suspended.

The State Liquor Authority suspended the license of W.i.P. and its adjacent Greenhouse during an emergency meeting Tuesday night.

Agency Chairman Dennis Rosen tells the Daily News that the authority “would not tolerate violent bars that break the law.”

The company that runs Greenhouse sued the city Monday for shutting it down, saying it was losing $264,000 a week.

Police shuttered Greenhouse on June 16, citing code violations. Two days earlier, R&B singer Chris Brown and members of rapper Drake’s entourage faced off in W.i.P. Brown and NBA star Tony Parker were among those injured.
