Poor Poor Linds






Well - I don't think anyone is surprised about this one - it was only a matter of time....


Lohan held over 'drink driving'

Lohan has developed a reputation as a party girl
Hollywood actress Lindsay Lohan has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving, police have said.

The 20-year-old was treated for minor injuries after losing control of the Mercedes she was driving and hitting a curb, Beverly Hills police confirmed.

A small "usable" amount of a substance thought to be cocaine was also found in the car during a search, they added.

The actress, who spent time in a rehabilitation center in January, was arrested but not held in custody.

Instead she was transferred to a hospital to receive treatment for minor injuries.

Two other people were also in the car with Lohan when the incident occurred, though no other vehicles were involved, police said.





Poor poor Lindsey. I'm kind of torn about this one. Here's the thing. Paris Hilton is a no talent stuck up priviledged bitch and the only reason she is famous is because she comes from BIG MONEY. She thinks she's above the law, she's never done anything productive EVER and she's a moron. Lindsey on the other hand came from nothing, worked really hard to get where she is, earned her money and proved herself in Hollywood. She's very talented and she's been in a lot of movies. Her crazy mother rides on her coattails, parties with her, doesn't provide her with the the proper guidance and basically uses her. She treats her like a friend instead of a daughter. Then, she has a father that hasn't been involved in her life for years because he's been in and out of prison. He's an addict and addiction runs in the family. She's young and my hope for her is that at some point she'll realize that she has a great future and her partying is going to ruin a good thing. Not to mention that when you are famous and rich, people use you for your money - I know that when I was partying all my friends were using me. You just don't meet quality people when you are at the nightclub 7 nights a week. I wouldn't want to see Lindsey sharing a jail cell with Paris and that's exactly where she is going to end up if she doesn't put the brakes on the partying.

And, here's my question....

All of these famous people make gobs and gobs of money - why the hell can't they either hire a limo or pay a goddamn taxi cab to take them home?? I mean, why risk it when you are loaded? Why not get a driver and arrive in style????? Okay okay, I'm sure you are saying "hey carmen - why didn't you take your own advice and take a taxi that night?" Well - I'll tell you on thing - I did learn from my mistake. I NEVER got in the car and drove drunk after that night. So, I might be hard headed and moronic at times, but at least I learn from my mistakes. Hopefully Lindsey will too.

I played some poker on Saturday at the MGM. I sucked it up royally. This is two losing sessions in a row for me. I hope these are isolated incidences and it doesn't become a pattern. I'm not a happy camper when I'm losing, but then again who is??

I was laying out at the Red Rock pool today and they had a sign up saying that they were closing the pool at 4 p.m. for a private party. I was watching everyone set up for a what looked to be a very beautiful wedding. Come to find out it was a pretty huge event. There were 800 guests attending and the cost was a measley 8 million dollars. WHOA!!!!! I was surprised at first that they were willing to have a wedding out at the pool, but for 8 million dollars, I'm sure they'd rent out the freakin parking lot, the lobby, hell - even the bingo hall if that's what they wanted.

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

After doing a little more research I realized a couple of things...

I knew Lindsey was underage and she was about to have her 21st birthday bash here in Vegas in July. They hooked up a huge party for her at Caesar's Palace and they were giving her an entire floor and catering the party with food from Social House and of course DJ AM was going to be spinning and of course Pure would be hosting her as well. So, come to find out Svedka Vodka was one of the sponsors and they just pulled out - probably due to the fact that she was underrage and drinking. Also, she left the scene of the accident which is NEVER a good idea. I'm not sure if she'll even have the party now. Also, I found out that it's going to be REALLY tough to insure her on a movie set now, so a lot of her offers are going to go down the drain. And, I'm sure that whatever products she is a spokesmodel for, will drop her just like Burberry did with Kate Moss. So, it's probably time for her to admit defeat and head off to rehab. It worked for Kate and countless others. America's pretty forgiving if you admit that you were wrong and get help. It's when we try to lie, deceive and we don't take responsibility for our actions that we get ousted.

Didn't Lindsay's father just get out of prison? I think so. That family is a total mess.

One of the things Lindsay and Pars and Britney all have in common is that they are terribly uneducated. Look at Natalie Portman, Brooke Shields and Jodie Foster. All big stars as teenagers, but all went to college. It made a difference. They learned how to act and how to make decisions and how to present themselves.

Lindsay, Paris and Brit are all trash, but that's because their parents are all trash too. They need smarter people around them. And to grow up.

I always wondered the same thing about having drivers. Why don't they just hire someone to cart their drunk asses around?

No no no no no. I refuse to feel sorry for her. I've also asked myself the question of the driver/friend/bodyguard but my guess is these celebutards are just too dumb to do it and would rather go on driving in their vain trophy cars.

But here's another question for you: Why the hell are all these night-spots not served with a humongous fine and even get their liquor licenses revoked for serving and underage drinker on their property? Make these guys take the fall as well and maybe this crap will stop?

She is irresponsible and so stupid to do, as you said, the things she has..it's more than immaturity and growing up in the limelight.

Jay is right, getting an education is so important on personal growth. For those of us without money, it is the path to personal wealth and for all it is an enriching experience that can help guide us to the better life.

If "Linds" needs a place to have her birthday party she can use my backyard. I just bought an inflatable pool for the kids and she is welcome to lounge out next to it...naked if she wants. I'm cool like that. Just sayin'...

Yeah, I have wondered the same thing about calling a taxi or limo when these rich folks get hammered. I was stupid and got a DUI back when I was about 23 and I've never done it since. I've got enough friends or spare cash to get my drunk ass home if I ever do get in that situation again. If I had thier money, I damn sure would be getting carted around.

It has always bugged the shit out of Stacie about how these bars and clubs don't ever get in trouble for serving these underage starlets when then are obviously drinking at these places. Maybe this will change a few things.
