Lindsay Lohan was arrested this morning for an alleged bar fight and a new report is claiming the fight was a reaction to a jealous rage over The Wanted singer Max George! Read on for all the details. Lindsay Lohan was arrested for third degree assault in the early hours of Nov. 29 in New York after allegedly assaulting Tiffany Eve Mitchell at Avenue nightclub. TMZ is reporting the fight started after Lindsay, who was trying to flirt with The Wanted member Max George, started talking to another woman -- Tiffany. Lindsay, 26, started her night more innocently, at Justin Bieber's Msg concert. However, she wasn't there for him, she was there for opening act The Wanted, and more specifically Max. She tried to sneak backstage after the show but was denied. Instead, she met up with band members Max, Jay McGuiness and Tom Parker at a hotel bar, later moving to Avenue nightclub.
