That looks like Vanessa Minnillo. Those comments were all over the web when photos of a knife-wielding Lindsay Lohan and an unidentified brunette splashed online. News of the World published the photos over the weekend and for about 36 hours it was unclear if that was just Vanessa's twin or actually Vanessa in the photos. Now it is reported that she is the one.

| Lindsay Lohan & Vanessa Minnillo Knife Photos Stolen? |
Us Weekly magazine reports that Minnillo found herself the center of some unwanted attention on June 1 when disturbing photos surfaced -- taken in the predawn hours of June 16, 2006, in NYC - showing her with Lindsay Lohan tugging down the starlet's top and engaging in bizarre and dangerous acts of knife play.

The magazine reports that the pics were taken at 4:50 a.m. in a home in Greenwich Village after a night of partying at NYC club Bungalow 8. They also claim that the shocking photos were later stolen from Lindsay's camera. Minnillo, 26, who at that point had been dating Nick Lachey, 33, for just a few weeks "got caught up in the moment and thought it would be fun," according to source.
Minnillo, fresh off hosting Miss universe in Mexico, is shown in one of the photos pulling down Lohan's tank top. Another shows her with face upturned, eyes closed and lips parted, as if about to kiss the wild child, who is now 20 and in rehab.
But she's not having fun now. "It was stupid and she regrets it," says the source. "They were only fooling around." One would hope.
