Lindsay's Rehab Confidante: 'She's Getting Better Every Day'

“Extra” spoke exclusively to Tony Allen, the man rumored to have befriended Lindsay Lohan in rehab.

Allen recently checked out of the Utah rehab center where Lohan is currently a patient and said, "We’re great friends.”

He's shooting down rumors that Lindsay, who police said had a small amount of cocaine on her when she was arrested for DUI, failed a drug test while she was in treatment.

Allen said, “Positively, absolutely none of that is true!” He insisted that Lindsay has been a model patient.

“We share a common affliction, and we just talk about life sometimes," Allen revealed. "She’s getting better every day.”

As Lindsay continues to recover, Allen said she's determined to revive the promising career derailed by her battle with drugs and alcohol.

“She’s very healthy, very positive," he said. "She wants to present that to her public, to the people who care about her.”

Allen, who is one-half of the rock duo Dead Stays Alive, said that he and Lohan hit it off immediately.

“She’s a musician, so obviously that’s some common ground we had," he said.

He added, “We’re her favorite new band.” Allen’s band mate, Scott Mikell, would even invite Lindsay to join the band once she's out of rehab! He said, “Lindsay can come play guitar anytime she wants to.”

Lindsay is rumored to be leaving rehab next week.

Guess how we will remember Tony Allen and his band…
“The notorious Tony Allen”.
Not exactly the fame anyone would want…if they were in their right mind.

It seems her rehab romp in a loo has started a chain reaction—and she’s now been ‘mentioned’ in divorce papers.

I revealed last month how the Mean Girls star was caught in a passionate clinch with a male patient at the Cirque Lodge Clinic.

He wasn’t named at the time. But strangely this week the wife of Dead Stays Alive frontman TONY ALLEN, who was also being treated at the Utah centre at that time, filed for divorce claiming adultery.

I’ve got my hands on the sensational documents in which British heiress STEPHANIE says her three-year marriage to the 39-year-old rocker is “irretrievably broken”.

The 52-page document refers to Tony’s “habitual drug use” and “conduct and relationship with another woman” as described in a US mag and on showbiz internet sites.

And while Li-Lo isn’t named directly in the papers, she is mentioned in media cuttings with the application.

One even carries the headline “Lindsay’s Rehab Romance”. Another quotes an onlooker as saying: “They looked very cute together. You could definitely tell there was something going on.”

And an insider was reported as saying: “No one else in rehab at the time was in the entertainment industry. They were bound to get close.”

The papers also quote mum-of-two Stephanie, whose family is worth £720million, as saying: “After my husband’s return from rehabilitation I was bombarded by calls alerting me to the fact that my husband’s conduct with another woman was on the internet and in gossip magazines.”

Tony has denied sleeping with the actress, saying they hit it off during treatment: “We’re great friends. We just talk about life sometimes.”

Well it’s all over cable, MSN, the London Mirror, their home (now, for sale) is pictured in UPClose Magazine and to “Stephanie’s friend”, You opened a huge can of worms that will come back to haunt you. You’re no friend. A true friend is pricelss and obviously, you had a price. The family will find out who you are and things may backfire, dearest “friend”.

I don’t understand all the bad press against Lindsay. She had no committment with Stephanie. Tony did and allegedly broke that committment. Given the amount of infidelity in this country I’m not sure why this is such a big deal to everyone. Very few people have any dedication or committment to anyone but themselves. Tony - you are just status quo — nothing special.

If your wife leaves you —- well you deserve it Tony. Call a spade a spade — you are not a man and your behavior is selfish and self-serving. Your kids unfortunately don’t deserve to pay for your actions (although they will). Now that you are a father I can only hope that you will grow up and be a man!

Your life should be about deserving those kids and making an attempt to be the best man you can be for them. Addiction often stems from selfish irresponsibility. I’m sorry about your father - and yes I’ve experienced the pain you have. But to respond by neglecting your other committments and responsibilities (family and friends) is just plain selfish.

Apologies are nice, but they don’t change what you do. I’ve heard these feeble words before — usually not backed by action — it seems “I’m sorry” and “I love you” often come from the desire to not have those who you’ve stomped all over be angry or upset with you. Words spoken simply to give you what you the positive attention you want. Words are meaningless without action to support it.

Tony, I feel for those you have hurt by your self-serving behavior. I hope you can put yourself in their shoes (really how’d you feel if your wife had an addiction - and you had to put up with all the garbage that comes with it - had cheated on you after you stood by her?)

I wish you luck in trying to pursue a life based on honesty and integrity.

You people are a serious waste of this earths consumption. I find it very sad for those of you to come here and post ” leave it alone and stop posting” when inevitably your just adding fuel to the fire like everyone else. To those of you who say your there friends, 99% of the posts I have read from you are not helping either party but only making things worse for them. If your truly there friend or immediate family they should already know the way you feel, you don’t have to express it here for the world to see.

Good Luck to both of you!
