Lindsay Lohan is a big star

Who needs multimillion dollar movies deals when you've got THIS.

I don't get it. Plenty of celebs do commercials. Even terrible commercials.

It's easy to understand, Devin.
It's high school rules. Pile on the easy target.
It's sort of like thinking the Razzie Awards are clever.
It's the same reason Entertainment Tonight has ran stories on Anna Nicole Smith every night for three years.
Go to that level and you'll get it.

Its a pretty terrible commercial.
post #5 of 146
Did she direct it or something? I imagine she signed a contract to be a spokesperson and got stuck with a shitty commercial. OH NO WHAT A CUNT SHE MUST BE

Always fighting the good fight, Dev. I'm sure Linds is glad you've got her back.

I just think this stuff is exactly why 9/11 happened.

Because those Penelope Cruz CoverGirl commercials are works of art.

I don't think it's really about sticking up for the underdog. I think it's more about the fact that at some point you have to admit that you're, at the very least, slightly retarded to actually care about this shit.

Gossip can be titillating and funny at a base level in some cases. This topic and Lindsay herself are just flat out boring. This sort of gossip post is kind of the equivalent of that cartoon where that little dog is jumping around and yipping, begging Spike to go chase cars.

I love that they have to identify who the "celebrity" is, just in case nobody can recognize her.

And yet you post twice in the thread instead of ignoring it.

Many celebs do crappy commercials but the embarrassing ones are shown overseas. The film roles are gone and she's down to commercials and wants to do modeling.

Bad film choices, drugs, and courting the pappers have almost killed her career. She claims to be working on something with Sean Penn and can't get Seth Rogan to call her back on that project. She's toxic. Shame too because she showed alot of promise but hasn't been in anything anyone has seen since 2004 and that was Mean Girls.

S Nabors:

You might be slightly retarded if you think that I "care" about this any more than having a laugh at a retard in a retarded video while passing the time on a Sunday afternoon. But thanks for your input. I'm sure somebody cares about your commentary.
post #13 of 146
That commerical was just boring. She needs to head for Japan and make some really cool ads.
post #14 of 146
So, if I follow excuses correctly, the time of day represents Diva's level of posting and whether or not she moves above mouth breathing level? Judging your posting history, I'd say Morrisey is correct. Every Day is Like Sunday.

What is this? The Diva Backlash? What puts her on a "mouth breathing level"?

S Nabors sees what he wants to see. I post all over the boards in movie, TV, culture, politics, and gossip threads alike. But in his mind, I live and breathe to post about Lindsay. I'd love to live in his fantasy world where all people are one dimensional baffoons.

The fact that she's vapid and stupid?

That's laughable considering your the most miserable 23 year old on the planet. I rather be known as the gossip girl than the guy who only posts on CHUD to complain about how everything and everyone sucks.

Lohan was never this great young talent to begin with, so this doesn't shock me. Her hype was more impressive than her acting ever was.
post #24 of 146
That Mean Girls/first SNL appearance was what did it, it suggested she was going to be a star. Everything since has been downhill, though I hear she was good in Freaky Friday. The girl had talent, fame ruined her. It's hard to say if she couldn't keep her eye on the prize, or if it was never there in the first place, but there's something enabling about someone like Diva going through this, and reminds me of the South Park episode.

Owen Wilson cycled through the exact same shit, but people aren't holding it against him in the same way, which goes into some horrible sexual politics.

My first of her related to a underage nipple slip...that's all. She wasn't even the cutest one in Mean Girls. Later on I found interesting her nude pics. They redefined freckles for me.

There's certainly a sexist element at play, sure... but Lindsay Lohan doesn't have a fraction the talent that Owen Wilson has in just his horribly disfigured nose.
post #27 of 146
The sexual politics thing...I'm sure there's an element of that but I think it comes back to the RDJ comeback. Wilson and RDJ are very likeable people. Lohan is not.

Do a search, Dre. I made the argument about people not giving Robert Downey Jr. the same treatment as Lindsay and people went off on me like I was insane for comparing them on any level.

Lindsays fun to go after because she thrives for this attention. She'll call the paparazzi herself just to get more attention. I don't particularly feel bad for her predictament. I realize that the intense media scrutiny of the past decade is unlike any other time and there is increasing pressure on young celebs. But at the same time, there are dozens of young actors who started out at the same time as Lindsay and haven't fallen into this trap. Speaking of which, people first started to notice her talent in The Parent Trap remake. Mean Girls came way after.

People can point fingers at me for all sorts of things, but I'm just as much a product of the times as everyone else. I don't buy gossip magazines. I don't wear trendy clothes. I don't go around saying "That's hot!". I don't watch shitty celeb reality shows like "Keeping up with the Kardashians" or "Rock of Love Bus". I just make fun of shitty starlets in shitty commercials, just like I make fun of shiity actors and shitty movies.

In an time when Jon Stewert just took the media to task for forgoing quality journalism for entertainment and ratings, its laughable that people can say that me posting in a forum created specifically to talk about gossip is somehow responsible for this culture. Hilarious actually.

Since Britney got her shit together, the female population of crazytown just got that much smaller, leaving only Lindsay Lohan and Amy Winehouse.

RDJ is genuinely talented and has a ton of folks in Hollywood pulling for him, not to mention a power-player for a wife. Lohan is a famewhore who has burned bridges left and right. Sexual politics don't come into play here, at least in my opinion.

The thing is, the people (except Diva) who are writing and reading the gossip haven't even seen A Prairie Home Companion - or most of Downey's work. So they're going off appearances more than talent, and yeah, I think it's safe to say that appearances are calculated differently for the different sexes.

Y'know, I still fail to see what was so great about her performance in either Mean Girls or Prarie Home Companion--she didn't get in the way of things, but she sure as hell didn't stand out. Especially in the latter, which I felt like she was barely in. When onscreen next to Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin and Kevin Kline she sorted of just faded into the background.

Point is, RDJ had a string of energetic and magnetic performances that left people wanting more of what he had to give. When he screwed the pooch you genuinely hoped he would pull out of it so he could continue to provide that level of performance and entertainment. Lohan never had anything like that, nor do I think she ever will.
post #39 of 146
Sure, Greg, but I was saying that talent doesn't matter in this regard. Lohan could put in a performance greater than any of Downey's, or a really bad one, or a lot of mediocres ones, but all that would be unrelated to the amount of gossip - which is determined by other factors, that Diva can fill us in on.

I don't even post half the shit that's out there about her. It's overwhelming. But there's something about her that people are drawn to. I would totally party with her because she doesn't give a fuck. She'll lie to your face and say she's sober while hiding a bottle of vodka under the table. Plus, she likes to get naked all the time. My favorite batch of photos was for Jeremy Piven's birthday party like two years ago. Everyone in the party is fully clothed, while Lindsay is prancing around in a bikini. It takes a special kind of person to be that narcissistic. I mean, this girl even out-egos Paris Hilton which is no small feat.

Still don't get the fascination. She's a white trash trainwreck that happens to be more famous than most other white trash trainwrecks. I've got a cousin that puts Lindsay Lohan to shame in any category you can imagine (except acting!), but I don't think there's anything particularly interesting about it. Pathetic, sure. Interesting, no.

I would find your cousin fascinating as well. Although I'd argue the type of trouble Lohan gets into is an order of magnitude larger than anything your cousin gets into due to the access and resources she has.

In a coked out rage, Lindsay stole someone's car - which happened to have three teens in the back seat - and chased another woman through the streets of LA at top speed only to be confronted by cops in a mall parking lot. This might as well be a scene in a crappy action movie. I don't know how people don't find her entertaining.

The only entertaining thing about Lohan is in watching someone being handed the American Dream, or at least the dream of hundreds of thousands of young people trying to make ends meet in LA, and then seeing her completely collapse under the weight of it. I've never thought she could act any better than any other teen star (your Cuthberts, your Meesters), but enough people did that she had a real chance to be a Julia Roberts/Reese Witherspoon style juggernaut. But instead, she just couldn't handle it and freaked out. No loss, some other starlet will be just as good at anything she was ever going to do.

Nail on head.

Um, how does stage mom enter this equation?
post #47 of 146
Dina whoring her out while claiming to have her best interests at heart is probably partly why Lindsay has so many whacked ideas about how to handle her career and her life in general.
post #48 of 146
Well, Lindsay Lohan still has plenty of time to turn her life around. Plenty of other Hollywood actors have sunk to remarkable depths and have recovered. Of course a lot have not.

Up to her to pull herself together and stop goofing off.

I watched the Christmas special of Extras yesterday. The whole message regarding fascination with fame and the famous makes stuff like this seem even more petty. Highly recommended watch.
