Needs A Finish
Anyone who’s ever succumbed to addiction or dealt with an addict over an extended period knows what a fascinating monster denial can be. Addicts can be right on the edge of obliteration with death blowing cool air on the back of their necks and still they don’t think they’re in any kind of trouble. Lindsay Lohan‘s dad has his issues, but at least he understands this.
I’ve seen where addiction ends up, and it’s always the same place if the victim doesn’t wake up. I’ve said before that Lindsay’s saga needs an ending — she needs to save herself or she needs to die, which at least might have an instructive effect in the same way that James Cagney going to the electric chair in Angels With Dirty Faces may have helped the Dead End Kids to fly straight. All I know is that the people in the Collisseum cheap seats are getting restless. They don’t want another Whitney Houston saga that lasts for years and years. Poop or get off the pot.
Michael Lohan is one of the most indefensively disgusting creatures on this planet. Dina Lohan is next in that line. Lindsay never had a chance with those two in her life.
Lindsay never had that much talent. She simply picked a couple of well-suited films early on that garnered her some raves. If she died from her constant drug use, would anyone still be paying attention enough to learn anything?
Now Whitney … there’s a truly wasted talent. If she died from her drug use, the world would learn a powerful lesson about not wasting perfect gifts given to you in life.
Regarding her addiction, (apart from finding it fascinating, which I do not) you are spot on: an addict who does not want to help themselves cannot be helped, nor can they be trusted. End of story.
Wells: “All I know is that the people in the Collisseum cheap seats are getting restless … Poop or get off the pot.”
Disagree. I think you may be projecting onto the Eloi/Low-Thread-Counters/Hispanic-Party-Elephants/Mouthbreathers/Movie Athiests or whatever you are calling them this week..
Lindsay has been irrelevant for so long (as actress, teen idol, sex symbol and tabloid star). She never developed a personality beyond than “cooler than average starlet with potential”. She never got to be a Whitney or a Britney in terms of success, or even a Paris in terms of persona. And so many other train-wrecks are more visible in the media, so even if she joins the Church of Scientology, marries Connor Cruise, is photographed snorting lines off his ass on their honeymoon and OD’s on the plane home, no one would bat an eyelid.
I don’t buy into this whole judgmental Dr. Drew mentality that everybody who likes to get their swerve on is two steps away from death’s door. Maybe Lohan just likes getting lit up and wants to be LEFT THE FUCK ALONE. Who can’t relate to that? I once saw that SCUMBAG Dr. Drew (aka Dr. Douche, aka THE WORST HUMAN BEING IN THE WORLD) go on some entertainment news show and, having never treated her in any professional capacity (to the extent that that HACK is a professional), he still droned on and on about what mortal danger she’s in, replete with his usual fortune-cookie level psychoanalysis.
Her dad has at least, you know, MET HER to be making this queasily irresponsible public pronouncements, but if you read Lohan’s Twitter rants, seems pretty clear she wants nothing to do with him… so his dumb ass going to media at every turn doesn’t seem like it’s going to help. Shit, if someone was going to the tabloids to report on the status of my empty-filled kitchen every morning after I tied one on, it would only encourage me to upgrade to tar heroin just to be even more awesomely debauched.
But the fact remains that drinking RULES, and the AA cult of alarmism and New Age psychobabble– it’s a disease! it’s rooted in your self-esteem! — just doesn’t work for some. If anyone ever brought me along to that BULLSHIT, I’d walk right the hell out the second anyone started mentioning “a higher power.” That shit would send me straight to the nearest bar-slash-strip club.
I don’t know how anyone gets through the grind, boredom, depression and underwhelming letdown of daily life SOBER, especially non-famous people. If LL needs to get this wasted to coast through being a millionaire, the rest of us should be mainlining H and gargling with Beam from the jump every morning.
I don’t know whats going on in L. Lohan’s head; but I’m sure she does not want to be LEFT THE FUCK ALONE. She craves and encourages the attention because she hasn’t got anything else left to keep her famous.
She might have made a decent actress at one time, but serious actors don’t make ‘pop’ albums and fashion lines or shoot magazine covers that don’t coincide with promoting a movie.
The biggest problem for Lindsay Lohan career-wise, is that she’s un-insurable, which means no-one can hire her even if they want to.
She’d be working doing Lifetime movies or straight to video if she could, but the studios wont do it. Too risky.
I once saw Michael Lohan on the LIRR about 6 months ago. He was looking for a seat when he suddenly saw 2 hot college girls and immediately started bullshitting them for the next 45 minutes. I wonder if he got their number. I bet he tried.
“serious actors don’t make ‘pop’ albums and fashion lines or shoot magazine covers that don’t coincide with promoting a movie…”
Maybe not in 1979, but in 2010 seemingly EVERY ACTRESS has a pop album and a fashion line and does magazine spreads year-round to stay in the public eye. Since J. Lo, I’d be be hard-pressed to name 5 It Girls who haven’t done at least one of the above. Amanda Seyfried is recording songs now… Johansson had an album… They’re critical darlings who work with good directors and make big movies; It’s not a sign of any personal or career desperation for Lohan to have put out a record. Being the “triple threat” is seemingly standard now for actresses.
“But the fact remains that drinking RULES, and the AA cult of alarmism and New Age psychobabble– it’s a disease!”
Uh, okay, if you say so. If AA is a diseased cult then it’s a diseased cult that has saved millions of lives…including mine. I’m not saying it’s a cure-all that’s appropriate for all, but I think I”m going to have to disagree a bit with the broad stroke you’re painting with there.
I meant the “alcoholism is a disease” tenet of AA, not that it was a ‘diseased cult.” Whatever works for people, then I’m all for it. But just like psychiatry, it’s not for me.
And again, “higher power”? What if you’re an atheist?
It is true that if the addict does not want help, no one can really rescue them but having lost a daughter to addiction I still, years, later, wish I would have tried harder. and still believe it might have made all the difference.
I thought she was great in A Prairie Home Companion, and held her own against some pretty seasoned actors like Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, etc.
If given a chance, I think she’s going to prove a lot of people wrong in the not-too-distant future.
She was coking out at Coachella while hanging out with those sluts from the E! show Pretty Wild, who one allegedly tried to steal from her. LiLo is just a part of a big attention seeking ring.
She had talent. Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, A Prairie Home Companion… good career trajectory. And then she threw it all away. She needs to decide if she wants to be Drew Barrymore or Brittany Murphy.
LexG – LiLo is not a millionaire. No one can figure out how she has money to live on since she doesn’t have a job, parties every night, people are suing her right and left for money (such as her credit card companies), and she is constantly the prime suspect when someone has something stolen and she’s been in the vicinity.
Still want to date her.
Interesting post and thanks for sharing. Some things in here I have not thought about before.Thank you so much for sharing this information. I have bookmarked this page for future use.
“She needs to decide if she wants to be Drew Barrymore or Brittany Murphy.”
An odd comment considering Murphy lived a (presumably) pretty clean life and died at a ridiculously young age, whereas Barrymore abused her body from an extremely early age, but luckily avoided a tragic early death to find redemption in the second chapter of her career.

Lindsay Lohan is just doing the same things that lot’s of young people do. It’s really no one’s business if she wants to get fucked up… she’ll probably grow out of it eventually.
As to her career… Everyone pays attention to Lindsay. She’ll always be able to work in Hollywood. No need to worry about that.
Remember, It’s not Lindsay’s job to follow any one else’s directions. She can do whatever she wants. Tough shit if the fact that you can’t control Lindsay upsets you.
If Lindsay decides to stop partying, The best advice I can give is… STAY AWAY FROM ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS!
AA is a religious cult dressed up to look like treatment for alcoholism. All AA does is cause confusion and self doubt… Find another way to get sober.

We’re kidding, of course. (We love your new haircut, by the way.) As such, we’re going to take the next seven days to prepare physically, mentally, spiritually and gastronomically for the rigors of the approaching, week-long news deluge. Don’t be alarmed if our posts lack their usual sheen and MBT Sneakers — we probably just expended our copy-editing energies during one of our daily training Coach Bags. It’s difficult to focus on grammar and punctuation when you’re running a tour de stade, you know?If you’ve been keeping tabs on the extra-savory rumors and Jordan Sneakers that’s surfaced over the past month, you’re probably well aware of the fact that Gucci Bags goes down in a little over a week. If you weren’t aware of that fact, don’t be too upset — some people just aren’t as perceptive as others. You probably also haven’t noticed all of the hidden cameras we installed in your Coach Handbags when you were at Air Jordan Shoes last week.
