Um, yeah, but I don't know if I like it out in the house!"

Lindsay and Dina on December 30. (Optic Photos/PacificCoastNews.com)Lindsay Lohan had vowed to stay in for New Year’s Eve, and she kept her word … um, kind of.

But even though the sexy brunette and Paciello are only friends (they broke up more than a decade ago!), Loeb was a little on edge.
