Is $500,000 In credit card debt a lot? Because that's what Lindsay Lohan owes.

I think she probably has decent acting chops, but it just goes to show what that kind of lifestyle can lead to. She has made a joke of herself, and rehab? Please, she has already said it is like vacation. I hope she can get her act together before it kills her.

To be a "celebrity" with lots of attention, adulation, money and the attendant ass-kissers, before you even really have the opportunity to find out *who* you really are as a person? To be able to mature at a reasonable pace? I'm not really surprised that so many of them go off the rails.

No one to tell them no and lots of money to blow through. Doesn't surprise me either.

Wanting to see their own failed aspirations fulfilled. The kid as a vehicle for their own thwarted hopes and dreams. Sad.

Hi Shell Beau! :hi: How's the baby?

lol! Thanks for asking! :)

from me, from many many miles away! Mwaaaah!

Smarter, even more mature. Sad to see.

On the other hand, in the world she lives in, 500K is just a job away. I'm sure a nudie mag would give her a mill for an expose without any real work, and I wouldn't write her off completely for a more legite role. People love a comeback and a good reform, so if she could get someone in a big budget film or an artsy small budget film she can handle, she can make that up in no time.

Look at Britney Spears, who a couple of years ago looked like an insane wreck on the verge of the dead pool. Now she's on top again, and we realize that half her "meltdown" was just brilliant PR work. Lohan has at least as much talent as Spears.

It's funny, but when you watch these kids grow up and see your own kids watching them as children, you start to see them as somebody's kids, and not just pop icons to laugh at. Every time I see her I think of the cute kid in "The Parent Trap," and just want to see her make it. I sometimes wonder if the jackasses who taunt her are really just heartless fuckwads, or if they are sad to see it, too, and that's just their way of handling it.

I really liked her when she was a kid.

so maybe there's still a remote possibility she can turn this around.

I feel sorrier for her than I do for the credit card companies. Lohan hasn't had a successful film or song in years, she's been in and out of treatment (according to even the mainstream media) and hasn't been a good bet in a long while. Why did the credit card companies continue extending credit to her? It's a shared risk gone bad. I'm always gonna feel worse for the sick or irresponsible (or both) human being than for a giant company that had ample evidence of unacceptable risk.

Junkies make me sad.

she's a child star who is no longer a child, she should declare bankruptcy and get a real job IMHO

There is still a chance for her too. She can pull out of this, but she has to want to and work hard at it. Her parents are to blame mostly, IMO. They failed her. She is an adult now but barely. It is a sad situation.

asking me to feel sorry for someone whose parents failed her by giving her EVERYTHING including fame and fortune is too much, shell beau

nobody cared that i was abused, nobody cared abt lots of kids i knew who were abused

asking me to care that lohan was spoiled and pampered is just too fucking much

it's people like her, the very rare person who can't handle having a good life, who gives the abusers a million excuses to abuse

she had everything, you have never had a day where you had everything, nor have i, now she gets to join the real world, what's sad abt that i can't imagine unless you really think there is a class of people who deserves better treatment than the rest of us

People are just stating their opinions. I enjoy watching movies/television and listening to music. When I hear these stories, I always hope for the best, regardless of income. But that's just me.

Unfortunately, too many people like to see others fail. Especially celeb types. I hope she pulls through and can come back on top!!

:hi: :hug: :pals:

As for your last comment, I have no clue what you mean. I certainly never said anyone deserved any better treatment than anyone else.

Who says her parents pampered her and gave her everything? You have no idea what her childhood was like.

It is kinda hard for me to feel too much sympathy for anybody living that rich lifestyle. Tell me she's eating pasta and beans, and living on an SSI check and THEN maybe I will manage to feel bad for her.

Jeesh. Welcome to reality, Lindsay.


:puke:

She looks a lot older then her years.

I think the more crazy stuff she does, the less likely she is to get a job. And the fewer jobs she gets, the more likely it is that she will drown her depression in doing crazy stuff

She used to be talented. Hell, she might still be. It's weird; Mean Girls came out in 2004. Who would have thought that LL would be the LEAST successful actress in that movie
