Tom Hardy helping Lindsay Lohan stay sober?

Lindsay Lohan is getting advice from Tom Hardy on how to stay sober. The Mean Girls star — who was released from the Betty Ford clinic last week after completing a three-month court-ordered rehabilitation program — has become close to the Inception actor after being introduced by mutual friends.

Sources claim Tom –who has been sober since 2003 after battling his own drink and drug addiction — has been advising the 24-year-old actress on how to stay away from temptation and she has been taking his words seriously.

As well as befriending Tom, 33, Lindsay is set to get a new housemate.

The Machete star recently moved to a new pad in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, but won’t be living there alone as a patient she met at the Betty Ford clinic will also be moving in.

The girl — who has been sober longer than Lindsay — will share the place and won’t pay any rent because she is struggling for cash at the moment, reports gossip website TMZ.

Lindsay has also been seen out with ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson and while they had dinner in West Hollywood over the weekend, insiders insist they are not back together.
