Lindsay Lohan and Calum BestHas Calum Best been promoted from fling to boyfriend of Lindsay Lohan? After a week of partying together in New York, the new couple flew to the Bahamas over the weekend and were spotted making the most of the sun and sea.

The pair were snapped at the opening weekend of the exclusive The Cove resort, kissing and cuddling on the beach - with Calum telling surprised onlookers: “Don’t mind us. We’re tourists.”

The duo also larked about together in the sea - with Lindsay giggling and almost losing her bra top to the waves. A fellow guest at the resort told the Sun: “They looked totally smitten with each other.”

According to the newspaper, Calum, a notorious womaniser in the UK, told close friends recently that he is thinking about settling down and is “fascinated” with Lindsay - but no one knows whether to believe him or not.

A friend told the Sun: “This is very unusual for Calum. We’re having trouble taking it seriously. But he has said he really likes Lindsay and wants to have a go at it.”

His agent Dave Read added: “Calum and Lindsay get on really well together. But this is Calum. We’ll have to see.”

While they’ve hogged the paparazzi, the new couple were not the only celebrity guests staying at the luxury resort for the opening weekend: according to the New York Post, other guests included Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo, Kanye West, Usher, Liv Tyler, Rob Lowe, Michele Rodriguez, Tyra Banks, Cindy Crawford, Whitney Houston and Joss Stone.
