Diddy you have a good night? Lindsay Lohan hits the town with sister and bumps into Sean Combs at restaurant

Lindsay Lohan was out on the town again last night, this time with her younger sister and a friend in tow.

The trio went for dinner at the Waverly Inn in New York for a slap up meal.

What they were probably not expecting was to bump into rapper and record producer Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

The star arrived at the restaurant in a silver sports car before entering the eatery and going over to say hello to the actress and her party.

Later he was only too happy to pose-up next to his shiny motor, dressed in a sharp black suit.

Meanwhile Lindsay, 23, and her younger sister Ali, 15, opted for the leggy look. Lindsay wore a pair of high-waisted gold shorts and black top while her sibling went for a paint-splattered miniskirt.

Earlier in the day the Mean Girls star was spotted shopping in Soho with friends. In one boutique she feasted on a slice of pizza while perusing the clothes.

It emerged this week that Lindsay has been turned down for a film role playing a teenager because the producers have branded the star 'too jaded' for the part.

She had been lined up to play the lead in the adaptation of acclaimed novel Undiscovered Gyrl, which tells the story of a teen blogging about her sexual coming-of-age.

But the book's author Allison Burnett has now revealed she's passed up the actress because of Lindsay's troubled image.

Talking to the US edition of OK! magazine, Allison said: '(Lohan) is a wonderful actress, but her fame and baggage would only work against her.'

Lindsay has been struggling to land a big box office role since Herbie: Fully Loaded in 2005.

Her last starring vehicle Labor Pains ended up going straight to DVD after being premiered earlier this month on an obscure cable TV station.

Recently, she's become more famous for her on-off relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson and flogging her own fake tan line.
