Lindsay Lohan&;s Life as a CarCrash
By encinoman
I&;ve always had a soft spot for Lindsay Lohan, especially compared to the other pop tarts. Unlike, say, Nicole or even Brittany, her talent is not in question, and she earns her money, unlike a certain heiress.
Our favorite of her films is The Parent Trap, where she plays charming but determined twins dedicated to getting their parents back together, but Mean Girls, Freaky Friday and even Herbie have lots of entertaiment value.
Even if we liked her best in a kid&;s film, don&;t accuse us of not wanting her to grow up. Her relationship with her divorced parents has been like a car crash, and now she&;s had a real one. If anyone could say &;Do as I say, not as I do,&; it&;s her father, and to young people, hypocrisy is the greatest crime of all.
Her DUI trial (more likely the plea) will be a circus; the only good thing is that unlike Lane Garrison or Brandy (not a DUI) she hasn&;t killed anyone (yet).
The partying, the lateness to work, the failed rehab, all seem a cry for help, but there&;s been no one willing or able to say &;No&; to Lindsay and tell her &;Nose to the grindstone,&; as my father said to me. Parenting is hard, but someone&;s got to do it.
The personal lives of performers have been exploited for over a hundred years to promote their entertainment projects. The situation has been reversed as millions focus on the antics of the stars, rather than on their movies.
Lindsay Lohan needs to buckle down (and buckle up) get serious about her work, and put her fame to positive use. People love to trash Angelina Jolie and her &;zoo&; of adopted children, but she uses her fame (and channels her own family problems) into worthy work like A Mighty Heart, and her charity work dramatizing the problems of the suffering.
That&;s a lot to ask of Lindsay, who&;s still not old enough to drink legally, but it&;s a way to lose the lack of self-worth that&;s driving the continuing car crash.

I love her! I think she&;s the best. Why does everyone pick on this girl. In regards to her tape, they said that during the tape of the show, Tila Tequila may have sexual relations with a competitor? I was just curious after seeing the shot too few hours ago. I just saw it. She&;s pretty dirty
