"Rehab was 'a sobering experience,' "

hee hee

I agree--this looks like trouble. She should have checked immediately out of rehab and into a modest hotel--like a Sheraton or a Country Inn and Suites (not a Hilton)--and started house-hunting. She should be wearing North Face and Columbia (so non-polygamy Utah) and announced that she's training for a hike in the Himalayas, a reward for finishing the filming of her small part in that movie.

She should NOT be giving interviews and heading back to LA. Poor LiLo. She doesn't even know.

Should we have a pool? Everyone pick a date when the first report hits that she's back to her old ways?

I'd like the October 11th square, please.

The truth is without this in and out of rehab business, she'd have no career. And she knows it.

Lindsay should have held out for Barbra Walters. She would've made some money AND been named to Babwa's list of most facinating people for the year. (along with her best good pal Paris.)

Lilo should have just left rehab. No announcement, no interviews, no pics. Just quietly left and gone househunting somewhere non-Hollywood. The next announcement we should hear should be an official studio announcement of an upcoming movie. SHE should not be talking to anyone. SHE should just quietly work.

You guys, while I agree, her ability to make a living depends not only on her acting skills, but also on being in the spotlight. While I think it would be better for her life, if not her career, to withdraw from Hollywood, she probably has publicists/parents telling her she doesn't want to become "old news" by disappearing. She could be easily forgetten. Isn't that what all of these stars are afraid of? Becoming has-beens?

OR...

A few months on the downlow would only make a come-back appearance more meaningful. I don't know. But I don't think her talking is a sign that she is about to backslide...(Although..OK! was probably a bad choice and B. Walters woulda been better.)

it posted twice, huh? curse this format! a pox on... never mind...

"Their own addiction, and their bottom line, is fed by the stumbles -- in the form of tipsy pix, DUI busts and head-shaving -- of 'recovering' starlets like our girl Lilo."

Actually, you've just inspired me to stop caring about, to stop reading celebrity news. Ta ta, Celebritology.

C'mon people obviously LiLo gets it, Rehab was "a sobering experience,"

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Does anyone else think Lindsay's photos with her dad are a little creepy? Don't they look too cozy somehow?

This was the only career move for her. She's a borderline retard with negligible acting skills and no musical ability whatsoever. Her only hope of earning a living as an actress is to be the train wreck that the likes of TMZ.com and Celebritilogy need her to be.

I hear Lindsay is engaged to a 48-year-old Mormon with three other wives and 11 children. They're going to live on a small farm outside Provo, growing wheat and sorghum, while spreading the gospel and living a life of devotion. Lilo hopes one day to become an LDS church elder, but until then she says she's satisfied cooking meals, doing the laundry, and serving her husband by being the best wife she can be.

I'd like the December 31 square, byoolin.

Why wasn't Lindsay first interview after rehab with "Vanity Fair or "People"? It would have given her desire to change more credibility

"I'd like the December 31 square..."

Dude, either you've got incredible faith or you've been smoking some of the same stuff that put Lilo in rehab to begin with!

I give her until this Saturday night, whatever date that is. Mark it, baby. Championship!

It's sad really. I remember meeting her a few years ago and it's like she's lost connection to reality.

One chooses one's life, sometimes thru small steps that don't seem to matter much.

I remember seeing her from across the street and she kinda waved (or she mighta been hailing a taxi...) Man, she's not the same Linsday I used to know. She was such cool peeps back in the day.

She's been wired for this kind of attention since her parents parked her in the movies. Why in the world would 6 weeks in rehab change that? And yeah, I know she's 21 and kids have to become adults blah blah. But her parents put her in this situation in the first place.
And yeah, pics with Dad are creepy.

Perez Hilton reports that Lilo's reps/Dad are vehemently denying she gave the interview post-rehab and it was cobbled togther from one done "months ago". Not sure what that means for its predictive ability in terms of her future.

Why wasn't Lindsay first interview after rehab with "Vanity Fair or "People"? It would have given her desire to change more credibility.

People magazine? Credibility?? You must be joking. MAD magazine probably has more credibility than People.

Pictures with Dad are super creepy! He is all over her. YUCK!

Retard is not a very nice word.

This weekend for publicly being in a club but "not drinking." Thurs Oct.18 for the first instance of public drunkenness, complete with car action.

I think she did the OK article as the first stop on her "Rehab is Sobering" tour. Maybe they were the biggest pay out.

Over the next few months she's gonna be on every magazine cover till we're sick of seeing her. While I hold hope that she gets herself together...........

I've got money on January 1st. She'll be doing the circuit for the rest of the year but who can pass up a Happy New Year toast?

I'm with petal. New Year's Eve. MTV. Live TV. She knocks back some champagne and it's the start of the second descent...

I read that dad gave her a diamond ring, too...

if she didn't really give the interview, where did they get the pix? in one of them, lilo is obviously holding the camera.

i'm rooting for her.

Yeah...personal-life wreckage aside, I really like Lindsay Lohan and I'm hoping she'll get her stuff figured out now.

I think it is kind of sad that people know so little about Utah and the LDS religion. The main religion in Utah does not support polygamy. I don't think the jokes are funny because I have many friends who are LDS and they are just like normal people.

Also, I have never in my life seen better looking people than the people out there. Maybe she will find a nice boy to hook up with!

Yes, but will he be wearing the funny underwear?

I assumed the LDS rant was an allusion to the HBO show "Big Love".

"Retard" is a fine word, the context was mean.

"I don't think the jokes are funny because I have many friends who are LDS and they are just like normal people."

Heh - "just like" normal people. So you're saying they're not normal people, but they can pass? I've known many lovely Mormons, but cmon, polygamy jokes are funny. Yes, the mainstream church has denounced polygamy. But some fundamentalists still embrace it. And also: funny.

I was thinking along the same lines as petal, hence the December 31 square. She'll be with sober folks or family until then, then once New Year's Eve hits ... BANG! Off the rails.

Before Lilo falls off the wagon, she will have to go on Oprah and have a heart-to-heart (gag!)
And my Mormon friends are so cute. They talk about eating a piece of pie like I talk about drinking a glass of wine. It's a different mindset is all. Lilo will have to watch the carbs.

How is liz different than the mags she objects to?

cause it's wapo instead?

Heh - "just like" normal people

You can't turn it around on the person who is trying not to be a jerk. They didn't mean it like that, they just meant that the majority of LDS are not into polygamy, just like most of the people who live in DC are not self obsessed, conceited idiots who think the world ends at the borders of Maryland and Virginia.

I think LiLo will make it through the holidays, but come MLK Weekend? Get ready for the "ski" photos. I predict not only a drinking binge and tons of "snow," but also -- are you sitting down? -- a chase on snowmobiles. Awesome!
Seriously, kind of, hasn't she made more money than most of us every will already? Doesn't she get paid a few million dollars for each film, didn't she make at least a couple bucks from that album? I mean, doesn't she have enough cash to just sit on the sidelines for a couple years and really get it together? Sure, she may not have enough cash to shop on Robertson every day or get her hair done every other day or even get a weekly spray tan, but she can totally afford to, I dunno, go to college and get learn a "fall-back" skill.

"...just like most of the people who live in DC are not self obsessed, conceited idiots who think the world ends at the borders of Maryland and Virginia."

No, the world ends at the Borders in Tyson's Corners. EVERYBODY knows that!
