OK, there are a million celebrity blogs out there, and this is not one of them! I can't stand celebrity gossip, and have less interest in their lives than I do in identifying the malignant brown stain that somehow attached itself to my shoe sometime during a night of pub crawling...
However (I know you knew there was a however or but coming here) I really had to comment on this. Lindsay Lohan...in the interests of fairness I want to state up front that IMHO she has the all the talent(and appeal) of a three day dead golfish in a fishbowl that was left in the sun.
Why then, do you ask, would I waste my time and effort blogging about her? Simple, a news report yesterday regarding her "sex tape" just forced me to comment. Seriously, I understand the shameless (and sometimes humiliating) levels celebrities will go to put their names in the paper, if nothing else to remind people that they didn't OD last year. Celebrity boxing jumps immediately to mind. But Lindsay, what a walking, talking, occasionally staggering cliche!
There are some standard techniques that seem to be employed by young Hollywood starlets when they're desperate to get back in the limelight, many of them pioneered by the queen of self promotion, Paris Hilton. But Lohan? She's trying all of them!
DUI arrest...Check
Bad girl party problems...check
Paparazzi crotch shot...check, check, check ad nauseum
Lesbian relationship...yup, been there done that too
And now, the obligatory sex tape. Come on, if this isn't the most pathetically blatant attempt to get some publicity ever attempted I don't know what is.
And the worst part? I'm freakin' blogging about it! Sucked in by the lamest publicity stunt and here I am, willfully going along with it, ranting away like a good little automaton.
The only positive thing I can think of is that so far nothing she's done has made the slightest difference to her brilliant slide into anonymity. Almost makes me believe in the general sanity of the population...at least until I cave in and watch the damn thing!
That's it, that's all, hopefully I never again feel driven to comment on anything entertainment related (unless its more Vince, the guy really does freak me out....)
