As I understand it, the only two people who could get nominated for Bobby are Sharone Stone and Demi Moore. And I don't think either is going to get in.

I've stuck with her for so long, but she's just killing me lately. I don't think I can take anymore. I could accept a certain level of self-destructive behavior I think, if it wasn't so entrenched in such desperate famewhoring. I used to sort of feel like yeah, she's a trainwreck, but she really wants to be a good actress and she wants to work. I don't really feel that way anymore. With the Paris feuds, the totally unprofessional behavior on set, her wanting attention even if it's for things that make her a laughingstock, I just can't think that she even cares anymore. Which makes it hard for me to keep rooting for her to clean herself up.

I do still feel bad for her and think she was dealt a crap hand, but dude, it's time to face reality and take some responsibility at this point. Even if you continue to fuck up, at least own it. That's how Drew Barrymore and Robert Downey Jr. were able to rebound. Quit blaming the paparazzi when you totally court that attention. Quit claiming "asthma attacks" and "dehydration" are behind the hospital visits. And for god's sake, quit hanging out with morons like Paris and showing up to events coked out of your mind and then whining about how ScarJo gets better roles than you.

Linds, why do you make it so hard for me to love you??? Us Gingers need to stick together but it's so hard for me to defend you when you keep hanging out with Parasite, get all coked out and talking in front of the paps, and generally making a fool of yourself. Girl, you better check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Oh, and I had the requisite "WHY????" moment today when I rewatched The Parent Trap. I really, really hate Dina and Lindsay's whack-job father. I'm starting to get worried because I'm sure she's going to end up worse than Tara Reid. She's got way too many enablers around her riding the Gravy/VIP Club Invite train for anyone to really care about her health.

And yes, I do realize that at a certain point she needs to take responsibility for herself but I think as long as she has idiots around her justifying her stupid behavior she'll never get the help she truly needs.

Yeah, that's how I feel. I think all familial and other authority figures in her life are wackjobs. I know she's not a child, but they were wackjobs when she WAS a child.

I wish her mom from Freaky Friday, Jamie Lee Curtis, would smack some sense into her.

She was pretty good - her character was sweet, compassionate and seemed to know how to behave in public, so nothing like Lindsay.

I don't think it was in any way an Oscar worthy performance, but it did serve to remind me that she can actually act, and can be endearing on screen if you block out what she's like away from it.

I agree. Lindsay was good. Not Oscar good, but good. I liked her role, but there were other actresses more deserving of nominations in that movie, not to mention the fact that no one takes her seriously.

I was wondering though, how long can an adult blame her parents for her general fuckedupness especially someone in her position who has the means to change her life.

I think...I think I'm about to defend Lohan. Sort of.

But does she really use her parents as an excuse? I feel like we don't read a bunch of interviews with her going "Yeah my dad's in jail and my mom's insane so that's why I am the way I am and boo hoo hoo I'm so screwed up." If anything, she's unapologetic about the heinous bitch that she is (whoops, personal feelings coming out again).

I feel like it's everyone else trying to explain her actions away. So we can't really hold that against her.

People is reporting that Lindsay is in Alcoholics Anonymous.

*blinks*

*feels your forehead*

sneezy? You okay? I'm concerned.

I think I have the plague. One of the symptoms is defending Lyndsay Lohan, I hear. It comes right before starting to go on about how Elvis is still alive.

Wasn't she seen drinking at the GQ Man of the Year Dinner?

That's nice, except for that whole "anonymous" bit clearly not happening. The announcement by her publicist rubs me the wrong way--especially when her publicist starts telling the press to back off--um, Linds kind of courted it and still seems to ask for that attention.

(Wouldn't she be in need of Narcotics Anonymous or Cocaine Anonymous? Although any 12-step program is a good idea for her.)

Maybe they meant Al-Anon, the one for family members of alcoholics? Maybe she's attending as a pre-condition to employment? In the context of her general behavior, I can't picture her coming to the level of self-awareness necessary to admitting there is a problem (and meaning it, anyway).

Hee! I think most everyone goes through that when watching The Parent Trap, HRR.

According to The Independant On Sunday she confirmed attending AA only after being spotted leaving a meeting by the press.
