Calum Best, the son of Northern Irish football star George Best, parlayed his nepo baby status into a reality career, appearing on “Celebrity Love Island” in 2005. But two years later, People reported that he and “Mean Girls” star Lindsay Lohan were turning Paradise Island in the Bahamas into their own love island. They were spied smooching up a storm, basking in the sun, and enjoying the nightlife. But when the pair took their lovefest to NYC days later, sources claimed that they had an explosive fight, apparently over Calum getting caught filling up his phone contacts with other girls’ numbers. “Calum’s clothes were torn, and after a few minutes, they got back into the elevator and went back to their room,” an eyewitness stated to Page Six.
By November 2008, their romance was over. Lohan had moved on with Samantha Ronson, and Calum believed that the women were together because of him; he suggested that he had turned Lohan off of men. “Yeah, I was that bad to be fair,” he told Celebrity Juice (via Digital Spy).

Calum reflected back on his bad behavior in his memoir, “Second Best: My Dad And Me.” He writes, “When we go out I flirt with other girls, sometimes in front of [Lohan], and one day she catches me hanging out with another girl in my hotel room” (via Radar). He also confesses to cheating on Lohan with an escort who filmed their sexual encounter.
