My sincerest apologies for posting celebrity gossip.. my wife sent this my way, had a good chuckle!

Spies said that when Lohan recognized a wealthy Canadian financier at a nearby table, she shot over to schmooze him — but then sent an assistant over when bidding on the charity auction began.
“There were items being auctioned for $20,000,” said a spy. “After chatting with the businessman, Lindsay sent over an assistant, who said, ‘Lindsay would very much like it if you’d bid on this item as a gift.’ ”
However, the gentleman declined. “He just cracked up,” our source said — and the piece, believed to be a Hublot diamond watch with a white alligator strap, went to another bidder.

What would she offer the businessman in return?
Not much, imo...

 

[Igorek]

What would she offer the businessman in return?

Drugs?

 

[Bergarn]

maybe a get-out-of-jail-free card, she seem to be sitting on a pile of those

 

[gatsuk]

She would've probably flipped it for bail.

Lindsay Lohan and Hublot....similar tastes and a perfect match!!!!!

Lohan and a watch pronounced "you-blow" leads to just too many cocaine snorting jokes, among others.

Drugs?

Maybe, unless it was a female businessman.
But in that case it would be a business woman, right?

Hublot = yblo.
Y like in Yves

Hublot = yblo.
Y like in Yves

Not according to this thread with sound: More like hoo-blow. If iy was "y" like "Yves" wouldn't there be a "y" in it. ;-) The "blow" is there, tough.
Guess I should have used a winkie face in my other post. :roll:

I like the fact that spies were at a charity event...I wonder if they all wore Omegas

I speak some french and the H is always silent. So it is pronounced 'You blo' not 'ee blo' and technically 'you blot' but the t is not stressed like the word hot...more like 'lait' pronounced 'lay' as in cafe au lait.

either way...using the term Hublot with Lindsay Lohan has all kind of possibilities

 

[dwaze]

The french don't pronounce the H so it's more like U-BLO and the U doesn't sound like the english "you". I actually can't find the sound in an English word ...

 

[OzO]

Isn't it French for blowhole or porthole?

 

[Blue bird]

I think it would be "oo-blo"

 

[Janne]

Goddamn ms Lohan, she could have chosed a brand with a more easily pronounced name....

 

[Nordstrom]

I speak no French, but I think I've got this one. It's "hub" as in "hubcap", and it's "lot" as in "parking lot". Therefore you get "hub-lot". Problem solved!!!

your looking for the word ewe as one syllable, not two as some may pronounce it
