Lindsay seemed to behave herself for her "official" 21st birthday celebration. She chose ultra high heels, a bikini and the beach close to rehab, huh? So I will speculate she will have another sometime in the future. Yes, she seems to be holding on to her contracts. As I stated Hollywood is quite forgiving. That, and they know how marketing, the press and how to get the most $$$$ work.

Where did you see Madonna? I know the pics I have seen, she seems to be trying to turn a late 40 something body into a 16 year old ish. She, if my calculations are right, turns 50 next year. I just wrote if off as hitting the gym a little excessively. In the past she has commented on keeping up with the younger ones. Just my opinion though.

Holy cow, Lindsay is now being reacted to by an even younger generation. Time is accelerating.

Dakota Fanning is already 13. She was voted as having the squeakiest clean reputation. Is it a trend?

---------------------------------------------

Lindsay will be on the cover of Elle August 24. Second year in a row she'll be on the cover of Elle's biggest (most advertising) issue. She won't look bad there, I'm guessing. They don't seem troubled with her behavior.

It's the same day she goes to court for the DUI.

----------------------------------------------

And what's with Madonna's arm muscles?

As you mentioned in an earlier post, Lindsay looks worn in most of her recent pics, even those supposedly sober. Hanna Montana (nice name) really plays up that she doesn't want to end up like Lindsay. I wonder if this upcoming excessively rich younger generation really would learn (even one of them) or is it all just public "hoopla" to add to their own fame. I know I have also posed this question previously, but it is a recurring thought.

You saw my neice's wikipedia entry. I've got access!! When Lindsay gets high, I know the serial number on the $100 bill she uses to toot!

The thing about Downey was... well, I don't want to get political about addiction and jail time, so I'll just let that go... Anyway, he finally got clean, it appears, and he gets along with his son and he's done a lot of good work over the past years, so maybe it's a happy ending for him.

I totally agree that Lindsay needs something that she's not getting and there is no end in sight for her and her troubles.

Re: Lindsay Lohan

I am sure that it will surprise nobody. It does rather frustrate me just how almost acceptable it has become. With the exception of the recent Paris stint, really celebrities get soooooo many "second chances". A person that sticks out in my mind is Robert Downey JR. how many times did that guy do rehab then repeat his illegal drug use? Anyways, my opinion is that Lindsay, although she has been quiet since her last rehab visit, is not ready to take this whole thing seriously. I think most of the middle class who have enough to lose but not enough to buy their way out of these messes would be taking it quite seriously. The rehab places they have been frequenting are such a joke. Private wings, latte time outs, spa days, being "too tired to go to the required meetings" etc...come on! Lindsay throughout these last few months was supposed to be faithfully attending AA meetings.

so much for my Lindsay gossip, now that the lab says she was double over the alcohol limit + a little coke to go with it.

Re: Lindsay Lohan

joem18b — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 03:48:36 GMT

Total gossip is that Lindsay's legal stuff gets pushed out and then settled out of court.

If I had known that I'd be posting here about it, I'd have listened better to Josha talking about the celebrities at her bar. She's a real knockout plus has a great personality and I don't remember ever saying anything negative about anyone she served. Coppola had a conversation with her about something or other... She and her boyfriend are on a cruise in Mexico. I'll have to get details when they come back.

Usually we hear about people being poor tippers or rude in the press when someone from the restaurant or bar scene reports on run ins. Let me know if you hear of anyone being extremely kind or sweet (ya, the other is always entertaining too).

When are the legal proceedings sheduled for Lindsay's recent events?

Re: Lindsay Lohan

joem18b — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 04:58:11 GMT

Maybe we'll run into Clint. (As you probably know, he was mayor of Carmel.) My daughter's boyfriend is named Clint, so that could be a sign.

My son's wife's sister works at an extremely upscale bar in Woodside. So far she's served Robin Williams, Francis Ford Coppola, Edward Burns, Neil Young, etc. She has become an expert on fine wines. The money up there is carried around in buckets. Or saddlebags, actually, as everyone in town seems to own a horse.

That is such a shame.....we truely could have gotten some inside scoop. Just kidding. Try to still have some fun in Carmel.

" Dina is in discussions with E! to star in a reality television series tentatively titled Mom-ager, the New York Post reported Monday. According to the Post, the show would center around Dina's attempts to turn her two youngest children -- 14-year-old Ali and 11-year-old Cody -- into stars. "

Just look at her in the celeb photos - she looks like she's trying to be Lindsay's blond sister...

Looks like I'm not going to be hanging with Lindsay the first week in July. She's cancelled her birthday party in Las Vegas because she'll still be in rehab, and the wedding that Rose (my spouse) was doing has moved from Las Vegas to Carmel. We were going to be in the same hotel as part of her entourage, with an invite to at least one of the functions.

Re: Lindsay Lohan

van — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 03:04:32 GMT

I get the feeling her mom (manager) is trying to share some of her spotlight.....good and bad. I can't pinpoint it but I don't like the lady. I heard she is trying to do a reality show? Hopefully it is just rumor.

Re: Lindsay Lohan

joem18b — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 22:08:26 GMT

Three family members work in Hollywood, but you know, it's just gossip. The way I hear it, her folks just say she's addicted in the same recreational way as she is to alcohol, cocaine, and ambien.

Re: Lindsay Lohan

van — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 21:06:55 GMT

I got a bit sarcastic with my last post. What I really wanted to know was, what are her reps or family members saying is the reason (excuse, explanation, theory,) for the oxy? We all know schedule 3 narcotics can be obtained illegally and are heavily addictive. Maybe they'll use the old "she got them from a friend (didn't know what they were) and used them to sleep".

Thanks for the reply!

Feel free to start a new discussion....it sounds like you may have an insider!!!!

Re: Lindsay Lohan

joem18b — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 20:44:15 GMT

A friend of mine in Hollywood saw Lindsay the other day and said that her youth is just about all gone. Looking pretty ragged around the edges.

You can buy oxy over the counter on the other side of the border and it's an easy drug to get hooked on, no reason needed.

Re: Lindsay Lohan

van — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 01:20:49 GMT

Just writing a continuation of my above post. Well, it looks like Lindsay is attempting to do "some time" in rehab. All you Linday fans, please don't get angry but.......................it is rumored that she is anxiously awaiting her upcoming big 21st bash in LasVegas (I think that is where I heard) with huge sponsors. Not the kind of thing to stabilize a person supposedly needing assistance for "excessive use and/or abuse" of alcohol and drugs! He reps say, "well everyone has heard of alcohol free drinks, right"!!!! Ya, and I have an island to sell you off the coast of Bermuda. In this case, I really would wager the rehab stint is the most obvious case of "damage control advice only" I have ever seen. Sorry guys. Does anyone know why she supposedly got on the oxycodone anyways at age 20 with no significant accident, surgery, congenital deformity etc (gas pain or what)? I better stop, I am getting harsh.

Re: Lindsay Lohan

van — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 13:10:23 GMT

Well -the easy anwer for me is that 2005 version of Pride and Prejudice is my fav for Jena Malone. Not only is she young, versatile (not bad of an accent in the film) but whe really works hard in her roles. Although she was not in the top character spot, her performance really gave depth to the story line that has been remade SOQ many times. Joe Wright's commentary on making the film attribute to that. If I am not mistaken she has had a turbulent family life. I think I read somewhere she divorced her parents and has not had a huge amount of other family support.

As for Dakota, I think everyone agree she is one to continue watching. I loved her in I am Sam. Few children possess the abilities to pull off such great performances, especially on such deep subject matters. Hopefully someone, family, friends, agents, etc can keep her from going down the "too rich for their own good" childhood actor path and she will not end up in rehab like so many before her.

Cheers!

i am glad,what are your faves from jena malone and or dakota fanning.or for that matter any other young thespians.

van — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 18:42:48 GMT

Oh, ya, and thanks for the movie links. I am still trying to get around some difficulty.

Re: Lindsay Lohan

van — Sat, 02 Jun 2007 18:42:05 GMT

I am a fan for sure of jena malone and dakota fanning. Many of the rest I will look forward to checking out. Thanks!

Re: Lindsay Lohan

lukasblu — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 21:33:11 GMT

How about young female stars (under 21 yrs. old),that are not quite as famous (negative or positive publicity),at least tabloid wise,and yet a great talent in their own humble way;quality thespian without the fuss;In fact taking taking lesser known roles in variety or even riskier subject matter, which makes them a better thespian.the following are movies that i have seen ,i liked,and recommend(this actresses are under 21 when the movies were made and still under 21 today)

*jena malone- stepmom,confessions of an american girl,dangerous lives of altar boys,saved

*kristen stewart-speak,panic room

*evan rachel wood-the upside of anger,pretty persuasion,thirteen,digging to china

*camille belle-the ballad of jack and rose

*valentina de angelis-off the map

oh yeah,our cute one,just barely a teen(13yrs. old)but i stiil thought i should mention her is(this one is a bit more famous,nothing negative though,at least that i have heard)

*dakota fanning- taken (mini-series) ,trapped,man on fire,dreamer inspired by a true story,charlottes web

not all that are in the public eye ae hopeless,like britney, paris,etc..;there are great young ones;not to mention,i have not even started in thespians that are over 21 yrs. old now,or legal age and plays younger roles,or awesome young male actors

Re: Lindsay Lohan

van — Thu, 31 May 2007 13:07:09 GMT

I hoped not to discredit entirely any particular actress on this post (although privately my discussions may be different). It seems the critics and press want to blame Lindsay's mother, family, publicist etc. for all that has happened. I realize she is still officially not 21, which shortly will change. However, where is her accountability? It really is frustrating how it seems hollywood seems to reward (not just forgive) individuals for such REPETATIVE offensives against the laws. To her credit, she still has seemed to hang on to her contracts even though it has been reported that her many instances late or no show to the set for all night escapades that have been made public. It seems unfair to the many talented individuals who have been bypassed and would die for such casting chances. This is not really anything new, right????

As for the other two well, I definitely agree with much of your assessment.

Re: Lindsay Lohan

lukasblu — Thu, 31 May 2007 02:10:06 GMT

although i believe you are right about lindsay, bad rap in the press ,i believe she is more talented than you give her credit for;Her best work is definitely Mean Girls,Secondly ,although a remake like parent trap is Freaky Friday.The rest of the cast you mentioned have no talent or lost it & have not found it back,or and having bigger headlines with scandal but not contributing or even trying to make a talent comeback.Like Britney,simply one bad publicity after another.Doesn't she, at least ,have a good publicist that can tone down this bad press that she is getting????And i though,that after losing that loser husband of his kevin(with even more horrendous talent),that she would get back to business and start doing some albums BUT NO!!more garbage news ,one after the other.At least take care of her family and hire a better publicist and put out a better image for herself.Oh yeah, take some Quality acting lessons because that last movie she made(thank god,only 1 movie)was the worse of the worse.That reminds me that movie Crossroads,i need to put that in my list as sucky movie and put in the group list of definitely the worst movie ever;(bad acting,bad script, b looking budget,everything a movie should not be).;And oh Paris,she is bad company for britney;They are like partners in crime of bad press.The show of hers simplelife was one of my guilty pleasures.But after that ,i have not seen any talent or anything positive from her.

Ok, here it goes......Step 1 person : Lindsay Lohan, Step 2 greatest work: Probably The Parent Trap, Step 3 gossip: Well looks like another one finally bit the dust. I don't think her latest and greatest display surprises anyone. The new "Brat Pack" has officially become picture perfect for rehabilitation funding targets. Paris, Britney and now Linsay love their red bull and dipped strawberries delivered in rehab on a silver platter. Anyone wanna make a wager on if the white powder turns out to be cocaine but "purchased and planted in the mercedes by the guy at the last car wash". Ya right! This latest news is unfortunately just one fleck of sand on the beach of troubled celebrities throughout history. To be fair and human, she is young and hopefully still has time to straighten herself out. I guess she was scheduled to start filming a new movie soon, but with her new rehab stay nobody is sure what will happen.
