Lindsay Lohan got protection from an unlikely source after a night of partying in Hollywood last Thursday. A group of bikers stepped in to save the out-of-work actress from roving photogs with the paparazzi.

Lindsay and her entourage of pals were on their way home after being denied entry to Hollywood hotspot Villa when they were suddenly surrounded by a swarm of photographers.

Luckily, Linds’ bodyguard spotted a gang of leather-clad biker and them over to scare off the paps.

X17Online snitches say: “After getting denied from Villa, Lindsay and her entourage headed to a private residence in Hollywood, and as they were leaving, Lindsay’s bodyguard called a biker gang to the rescue!”

“Within moments, an army of leather-clad motorcycle men approached the photographers’ cars and began threatening them…The photographers called the cops, but once the officers showed up, they didn’t seem very concerned and no arrests were made.”
