Actress Lindsay Lohan is BUSTED!! For violate probation

[Jiro]

Even that can be suspect. Actors and actresses are PAID for that exclusive interview. I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong. In fact, I believe you're right. They do open up and are more candid, but they also are paid by someone to do those interviews.

Just sayin'.

yes they do get paid for doing interview and what's wrong with that? Barbara Walter's interviewees do get paid for it too.

but think about it.... would interviewers risk their reputation, career, and credibility for some bogus interview? no way.

I wanna see exclusive Britney Spears interview, LOL. I wanna know what's going on in that head of hers sometimes.

 

[naisho]

I see a lot of animosity directed at her. I think it is because a lot of people are a bit jealous that she has had so much given to her, only to throw it away. If you peel back all of the layers, you will see a woman that has a goofed up childhood, a trouble-filled family, an array of drug and behavioral issues, and a series of counselors and doctors that might not have been looking out for her best interests. I find it all a bit sad. I can only hope she recovers, and shares her experiences with the world.

True to that. It seems she might take a little longer than expected to reach that self realization point. Just googling around her name, the most recent headlines tells me she is planning to disrobe for Heffy. She seems to have awhile longer to go.

I definitely want to see some wardrobe malfunction during that interview

Sadly, Hef is not throwing her a life preserver here; he is throwing himself one.

So you are saying she is trapped?? With all the help offered to her by others?? She does not need her parents helping her, if you think they are shoving the crap down her throat.

She has all kinds of people reaching out to her to help her and her nose still goes up in the air. She just do not want to face the consequences of her actions. Snubbing her nose at the justice system and the system that is trying to help her. No, I still do not feel sorry for her. The justice system have been way too leniant, they need to buckle down and order this chick into an inpatient rehab with caring people, and counselors.

You're right. She needs to be placed in treatment against her will. To answer your question... At this point, yes she's trapped. Her mind is so warped by the drugs, she cannot think straight. Studies have shown that the drugs actually changes the brain chemistry of the person. As I've said, I have empathy for her, but I also think she has to be the one to do the work to get herself well. If she's unwilling to do the work to stay clean, then that's on her. But, right now, while her mind is still full of all those chemicals, I believe she is trapped in it.

 

[Oceanbreeze]

I personally think the media plays a huge role in all of this, with Lindsay and all the others who have had these issues. Yes, she has had all kinds of treatment and such, but if the media didn't suck up all the info and report every single last transgression and crap like that, they maybe, she might have been able to handle it a little better.

I have seen literally hundreds if not a few thousand people get through drug and alcohol treatment, including meth and crack and all that jazz and come out, with the support of new friends and their supportive families and make a better life for themselves and not have any relapses. It take a willingness on the individual's part as well as a good treatment program and plenty of support.

I am not excusing what she's gone through, I just tend to see things from a slightly different perspective. Comes with having worked where I did for 5-6 years. I feel Lindsay does not have a good support system. I don't follow all this, but if she did, her family would not be mouthing off to the media about their child's struggles. She doesn't seem to have the right kinds of friends to help her keep out of trouble. Yes, she needs to also be wise about her decisions, but when she's fresh out of treatment, her judgement is a little mixed up. It's then that she needs good friends who want the best for her and if she were to say, "Hey, let's go party!' they could say, "Well, not sure it's a good idea, but how about we do this instead?". Something like that. She needs to have friends and family who are willing to go that extra step and be a support and re-teach her how to be in public. The media is hounding her every step just waiting for a screw-up and she's nervous enough having all the eyes on her, she can't help but screw up as it's all she knows.

Just my opinion.

Thank you for articulating better what I've been trying to say.

I'm not sure it's jealousy people are feeling, but judgement. It goes back to "You don't know what someone goes through until you walk a mile in their shoes." Until you've been an addict or have been the child of one, you truly don't know what life is like for that person.

Hold on here.....some parents are not alkies/dope heads....and are not violent/no jail/prison record....and their kid(s) get involved into drugs/jail/prison....and ur saying it's probably the parents fault?...

As for LOhan's down spiral, self-destructive behavior...it's on her!...She's had the sympathy, the treatment centers, shrinks, meds...you name it....she still thumbs her nose...(being 40 minutes late for community service, said she "got lost") at a morgue....

Nah!...she's a leech....for publicity and attention....She's old enuf to know better. It's just that she doesn't give a damn, either way!

but I've never mentioned about parents who are not alcoholic or addict. I was very specific - a parent with booze/drug problem and violent parent. It's a known fact that children will be doing same thing at adult age. it's a vicious cycle.

Sorry, but I disagree.

You're right that some kids' get into drugs regardless, but there is a genetic predisposition to drug addiction and such. In this case, though, I believe her parents in fact bears some responsibility in what is happening to her. Not in all cases, but in this case, definitely.

She's definitely screwed up. I will give you that, and she's spoiled rotten. I will give you that. But, her upbringing and lack of parental responsiblity is responsible for a lot of this. She just didn't pop out of the womb this way. She was taught certain things, and, given more than she could handle at a very young age. I believe it set her up for what we're seeing now.

Now, does she bear the responsiblity for doing what she needs to do to get and stay well? Absolutely! THAT IS ON HER. But, until someone can force her into treatment and she can get clean, it won't happen. She won't be able to think clearly until the drugs are totally out of her system. Until they are, she's just self destructing.

Amen. I would add "parent of one" as well.

Not necessarily, Jiro.

It's nice you see it that way, SWK, and you may be right, then again, maybe wrong. Some people, who may not be "as rich" as Lohan or her family, have themselves already done everything in their power to help their child and nothing worked....some kids don't have a "goofed up childhood" or a troubled-family as stated....I'm sure there are many, many parents who have done everything in their power to help their child, spent all their resources and money...even chasing them down...to no avail!...The parents' own lives have been destroyed because the child will not stop the destructive behavior...just because they want the drugs, party life....and no responsibilities...and thumb their nose at authority and the law....Thus, leaving the parents and those who cared for them, in despair and guilt....thinking they still have not "done enough" or it's their fault the child is like this.....

 

[Jiro]

Not necessarily, Jiro.

then you are contradicting your Post #91

Certainly not saying she is not to blame here. Just saying that she is a bright woman (if she can act at an early age, she is smart) that knows the consequences of her actions, yet continues to self-destruct. There are millions doing the same thing every day; women selling their bodies, men committing violent crimes, all to get that next dose. If that doesn't tell people the problem is stronger than common sense would dictate, I don't know what will.

 

[Oceanbreeze]

No. But, you said its a known fact that the child will be doing the same as the parent. And, I don't think that's always the case. A lot of factors will go into a person's upbringing. Also, choices are involved. In order for a person to become addicted to a substance, they have to choose to partake of that substance. If someone has a predisposition to addiction and they know it, they better freaking pay attention to that and watch themselves. Abstaining is definitely the best way to avoid addiction. If that is not an option, then safe gaurds better be in place so that that person doesn't become addicted.

Agreed. It is obvious that it does not apply to ALL children with parents with problems just like being a midget does not mean your child will most likely be a midget.

But there was enough statistic to show that children with problem parents are more likely to become an addict or abusive than those with "clean" parents.

 

[PowerON]

I'm looking forward on Lohan in playboy.

 

[Jiro]

A lot. Its exploitation.

my point is that it's extraordinary difficult to get an exclusive interview with superstars especially after recovery from their destructive past. You're definitely not going to get one on your show if you're a nobody or some cheapshot host like Jerry Springfield. You'll be most likely somebody credible and reputable. With that kind of weight, are you going to risk everything for some bogus interview for their public stunt?

heck no.... you are going to get what you want from him/her - "Why?" Interviewer controls the questioning and dialogue.... not the other way around. They're not going to let some screwed-up person to ruin their reputation and control their interviews for their mischievous gain. That's why very few interviewers survived in this brutal cutthroat business for so long.... like Barbara Walter and James Lipton. It pretty much takes only one botched-up interview to end your interviewing career.

That's why Chris Wallace never got another exclusive interview deal after botched Bill Clinton interview. Dang.... he got spanked good by Clinton's wagging finger. That was a good one.

oh man... ya gotta see Wallace's face when Clinton wagged his finger and said - "And you've got that little smirk on your face and you think you're so clever. But I had responsibility for trying to protect this country..."
