Burnin’ up.

Philanthropist Barbara Davis, grandmother to greasy Brandon, has taken it upon herself to try and distinguish the smoke that’s still rising over the "fire crotch" incident inflamed by her son during a drunken tirade outside a Beverly Hills night club. Today’s New York Post Page Six reports that the matriarch, desperate to save face in the public eye, has been telling friends that Brandon and Lindsay "Fire Crotch" Lohan are actually dating.

"Brandon is dating Lindsay now!" Barbara reportedly bragged at a birthday party for Kenny G this weekend, her status already clearly slipping from the A-list. And while a representative for Barbara somewhat backed up this claim, by confirming that Brandon did indeed take the Mean Girl to dinner recently, Lindsay’s rep Leslie Sloane denies that the date took place.

"It is unfortunate that Barbara Davis is desperate enough to make up a lie about Lindsay dating her grandson," Leslie responded when asked about the rendezvous. "Lindsay took the high road and accepted Brandon's apology last week, but they are not dating and they did not go to dinner together. Lindsay is dating several men who live overseas."

Several men? Overseas? If that won’t cause Lindsay—and this story—to burn out, I don’t know what will.
