As a woman who has lived a few decades, it is fair to say that I have seen many a child star rise to fame only to have a family member, svengali or neglect of their own self preservation get in the way...pretty much any child star from the 70's, 80's and early 90's for example. Except for MacCaulay Culkin...he's seems to have gotten his act together...KEVIN!
Putting Kevin (I mean MacCaulay) aside, some surprising (only if you live in outer space) revelations have come out about Miss Lohan in the February 2006 issue of VANITY FAIR magazine. Buckle up...Lindsay admits she has been fighting "bulimia, drugs and the hideous battle between her convict father and co-manager mother." Ya don't say? Thank God for interventions. All one had to do was look at the size of her pipe cleaner arms when she hosted a "Saturday Night Live" episode a few months back to know there was trouble brewing for this little tabloid teen queen. All this and she's only na-na-na-na-nineteen! Scotty! Beam me back to The Parent Trap! Bring back Hallie and Annie. She certainly has done a U-turn from her previous denials that there was not a problem. It's not you it's us, right Lindsay?
The whole photo spread in the mag has her posing and made up a bit like Marilyn Monroe and Bridget Bardot.
Oooh la la! Mai oui! We know how they turned out overall. Maybe it's just me but there appears to be a little reality check needed for Lindsay. She feels she can "really make an impact...people with anorexia...people that don't get along with their parents. I can change that." Right. First, deny everything. Then go on a major TV program and parody yourself about your appearance.
Next, align yourself with Nicole Richie (who also is perfectly healthy, just ask her ex-fiance DJ AM) have an Olsen twin in tow, preferably Mary Kate. Don't worry, the twisted message from Hollywood will continue with or without your "impact" that thin is all that (along with youth...a winning 1-2 punch.)
As far as getting families back together once they are out of jail or rehab or whatever, I think maybe she could start with Angelina Jolie who has no relationship with her father Jon Voight (and the poor guy even has an Oscar!) If she can get those two back together maybe others will follow. Not to worry though. Angie at least appears to be crazy in love with her brother. If that doesn't work, Lindsay could move on to the entire Jackson Family. They even have claims of childhood abuse for an extra special challenge!
I, for one, believe that she will honor her vow to do charity work even though she didn't show up for a few of her charity committments. I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt because she is not quite done living her second decade and she is a work in progress. After all, shouldn't we lighten up on a girl whose revelation is that since her Mercedes SL65 AMG got trashed, she wants to pare down and get rid of her BMW 745 as well and get a jeep to simplify her life. Houston, we have a problem...
But in the meantime, when she's not busy making a difference in someone else's life, doing charity work, clubbing and dealing with reality... Hey somebody! Get that girl something to eat!
