Though Wilmer Valderrama and Lindsay Lohan (at a West Hollywood party July 14) were spotted together in May, it wasn't until her 18th birthday party July 2 at L.A. club Avalon that they publicly acknowledged their romance.

SETTLING IN

Until its demise in early November, their relationship wasn't all glitzy premieres and parties: Lohan and Valderrama got domestic and stocked up (on soda and a cookware set, among other things) at a Costco wholesale store in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley on Oct. 17.

After dining out at trendy Beverly Hills eatery the Ivy on Sept. 18, Valderrama shuttled Lohan's sleepy brother Dakota, 8, to the car. Lohan's mom, Dina, approved of her daughter's romance with the 24-year-old actor: "Wilmer's a sweetheart," she said.

BY HER SIDE

Headaches, a 103-degree fever and exhaustion led Lohan (with Valderrama and her publicist) to check into L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Oct. 21 for a five-day stay. It wasn't surprising that Valderrama was by Lohan's side during her time of need. "He is very protective," her mom said.

GETTING SPIRITUAL

A day together in Los Angeles on July 12 included a stop at the Kabbalah Center. "Lindsay is curious (about Kabbalah) and has been for a while," a friend said of Lohan, who's taken to wearing the practice's traditional red string bracelet, also seen on Madonna, Demi Moore and other celebs.

Lohan suited up Sept. 4 on the Fontana, Calif., set of Disney's Herbie: Fully Loaded, based on the 1969 Volkswagen Beetle flick. The car "doesn't talk or anything," said Lohan, whose October hospital stay halted production for three days. "It's much cooler than that."

PARTY CLIQUE

Lohan's close pals include fellow party girls Paris Hilton (at a pre-Emmys event in L.A. on Sept. 19) and Tara Reid. Despite the attention paid to her club hopping, Lohan's mom, Dina, insists her daughter is not overdoing it. "All you read about is that she goes out at night, and that's not fair. It's silly – when you're 18, you do go out."
