An Open Letter to Lindsay Lohan

Dear Miss Lohan –

What are you THINKING?!  Actually, I think that question is irrelevant – it’s clear that you AREN’T thinking. You caught the break of a lifetime.  You were supposed to be in rehab for 90 days, and it lasted 3 weeks.  You were supposed to be in jail for 30 days and that lasted 2 weeks.  Your family, lawyers and doctors fought to keep you out of jail, insisting that you didn’t have a problem.

Clearly, you do have a problem – but I don’t think it has anything to do with drugs or alcohol (although, you probably shouldn’t be blowing lines and drinking, just for the sake of your health). You are addicted to the paparazzi & Hollywood & being “famous”.  Except, the only thing you’re famous for now is being a mess.  Your Mean Girls days are long gone.

And what makes it worse is that the whole planet was kind of rooting for you.  I, for one, was hoping to see a great come back, a la Britney Spears.  You hired Britney’s manager, you did the opening VMA skit w/ Chelsea Handler – you were rumored to be hosting SNL soon (and – in my opinion every time you have hosted SNL it’s been awesome). And then you failed your drug test THAT YOU KNEW WAS COMING because you decided blowing lines was more important than your career.

So Lindsay – I kind of am glad you are in jail. Apparently you didn’t appreciate catching a WICKED lucky break the first time around.  (Or was that actually your 2nd stint in jail?) You whined and complained at your trial that the judge was just making an example of you because you were a celebrity… no dear, the judge was treating a drug addict the way a drug addict should be treated. And you should have actually been thankful.  She sentenced you to jail and then REHAB.  She WANTED you to clean up your life. But you weaseled your way out of rehab and went back to doing what you do best – nothing.

So way to go Linds – you pretty much ruined whatever chance you had of regaining you career. Congrats!
