It looks like the lifetime ban Lindsay Lohan received from the Chateau Marmont earlier this year only lasted a few months after the troubled star was seen returning to the famous Los Angeles restaurant last night.

The Liz & Dick actress was given the boot from the glitzy hotel after she apparently refused to cough-up for her $46,000 bill, being banned from returning to the hotel in the process. However, although it is still not known whether the bill was settled, that dispute looks like it is all water under the bridge now.

Gossip site TMZ first reported the news that Lohan was kicked out of the well-known celebrity haunt earlier this year after enjoying a 47 day bender at the hotel, racking up a bill that came to $46,350.04 overall. It is believed that her expenses were split between 49 packs of cigarettes and more than $3k in mini-bar items, as well as a whole heap of room service.

At the time, Lohan said that her bill was supposed to be getting settled by the production team behind the upcoming Elizabeth Taylor biopic, however it was later revealed that her excuse was nonsense and the producers had never agreed to this.

Whatever the case, Lindsay was allowed back on the premises on the Sunset Strip without a problem last night, but we suspect that the hotel management may have wanted to be paid up front this time round.
