Has Lilo Fallen Off the Wagon Again?
Lindsay Lohan is seen here looking a little worse for wear as she spends the night on the town in West Hollywood. Reports are that her new bee stung look on her lips are from some one on one time with a plastics doc, and though I know this is a craze that is working well for some, personally I think it makes her look more Ronald McDonald and less…well, pretty. She’s not the most talented actress in Hollywood, but her sharp features and excellent bone structure have always kept her one of the prettiest, regardless of what her hair color is. And so I guess Lindsay is back to blonde for now, we’ll see how long this one lasts. And given all the turmoil that has followed her with her struggles with addiction in the past, it seems that the world has been waiting for her to fall off the wagon again. If you ask her dad, a man who has had more than a little bit of a troubled relationship with this starlet, he will tell you that she is back to pill popping. And I’m having a hard time with this one, just because Daddy Lohan has worked so hard at burning her rep in the past, so this is a tough pill for even ME to swallow despite reports that these two are working on strengthening the Daddy/Daughter bonds. But he says she’s back to over self prescribing herself, and he ‘vows to get her the help she needs.’ He says she is addicted to prescription meds, though he isn’t sure which ones, which makes this murky story even murkier. But ever the drama king, Michael Lohan – who has a history of drug abuse himself – wants to help the ‘Mean Girls’ actress beat her reliance on legal substances as he’s terrified she will end up dead. He told website RadarOnline:
“I’m going to get her off the prescription drugs that she’s on. I hate it when people talk about illegal drug abuse because it’s not just drinking and illegal drugs that kill you. Prescription drugs can destroy and kill a person and are sometimes harder to stop. Look at Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson.”
Thanks for the words of inspiration, Michael. And yes, it’s a BAD sign when your own dad compares you to Michael Jackson. Although he refused to say what medications his 22-year-old daughter is taking, he admitted her addiction has taken over her life.
“You know why Lindsay’s not acting in feature films right now? Because she can’t. Because the girl with all the talent is hidden and buried deep inside this fungus that’s grown because of the prescription drugs. She can’t be herself. When you hug her she’s vacant inside. When she kisses or holds me I get chills, and not in a good way – in a bad way. She’s a different person. I was out there for a week when she was living at the Sunset Marquis Hotel and I would sit there and cry. It was horrible. This was not the kid I raised.”
Michael – who has only recently repaired his turbulent relationship with Lindsay – met his eldest child following the break in at her Hollywood home in the summer and was shocked by how much she had changed. And on the one hand we have to look at the fact that addicts DO have way of falling off the wagon, and are more likely than anyone else to do so, and her three stints in rehab aren’t really helping her case. But does it really make sense to claim someone is an addict without knowing what they are addicted to? Not only that, but the thought of Michael and Lindsay kissing and hugging and making up is not sitting well with me, in that, I just don’t buy it. Michael Lohan is a well known fabricator, and though Lindsay’s history is more than a little speckled, right now I’m just not buying it. Is it strange that nobody else has made the same observations? Oh yes, time will tell with this one for sure.
