My favorite quote from her Elle interview -

And by "favorite", I mean - shut UP you unbelievably full of yourself little girl. Obviously, everyone wants to be recognized for the work that they do, but are people really supposed to be walking around thinking about the thespian genius that was The Parent Trap?

And definitely add me to the group of people who's sick of hearing about how talented she is, and how it's a great tragedy that she's wasting that talent. She's about as talented, if not less so, than the other actresses in her age range who work consistently. Hell, Mandy Freaking Moore has more talent in her little finger than Lohan. She's no prodigy, she's a decent actress. Her parents didn't beat her up and lock her in a basement, they were crappy parents. Time to suck it up now.

Amen, sneezydove.

Seriously. Lots of people had less than stellar parents and yet they managed to not get arrested for DUIs and drugs and hold down steady, normal jobs. Blaming your parents for your problems only works for so long and then people get tired of it. Really tired.

Except for the fact that she's never actually blamed her parents for anything. She's got two addicts for parents, and she's an addict herself. People pointing out that she was dealt a shitty genetic hand and is too screwed up and drug-addled to realize it are not the same as her actually saying she blames her upbringing for her issues.

Her blaming her parents would actually be a step in the right direction, as far as I'm concerned.

From Entertainment Weekly:

I Know Who Killed Your Career.

I don't think she blames her mother for her problems which is probably who she should blame more than her father. At least her father isn't out partying with her. But she does seem to have more of a hate on for him from what I've seen. The songs, the constantly talking about him. I realize that's probably just the media slant it's been given but when I see her on television she always seems to be saying, "My father was blah blah blah.." and while that may be true, and it sucks, it's a problem a lot of people have and deal with in ways that don't involve stealing cars and cocaine.

I guess what I'm saying is, I think she's got daddy issues.

From that EW article, one producer talks about Lindsay Lohan:

It gets even better:

Ooooooh, BURN!

Back in rehab.

I'm losing track of her, she's in and out of rehab too frequently these days.

Or maybe she's in Long Island.. Who really knows these days?

I just read the Elle article. What a fantastic asshole she is -- seriously, it's kind of magical.

Oh, and the "not my pants" excuse is apparently all-purpose: Photoshop is to blame if she looks bloated in photos, or gets caught going commando. It's...not not her underwear, I guess.

If she was a cutter, there's a lot more going on than just a drinking problem. All those things are really kind of sad.

As much as I dislike her, the truth is she's still crying out for help. No wonder she's so screwed up, if this stuff is true.

I have absolutely no problem believing all of that. If there's one thing we all know for certain, it's that her parents are fucked up.
