The saddest thing about her is that she is so used to people using her for their own gains, her family included, that she wouldn't know a good person if they socked her upside the head with a can of that stupidly named self-tanner she's peddling. When she was with Sam Ronson, she seemed to be utterly dependent upon her because for once, it at least appeared that someone actually loved her and was trying to get her help. Yeah, Sam's career got a big-time boost as a result of the liason (I'd never ever heard of her until the rumors about the two of them started), but Lindsay wasn't acting as bonkers as she'd been a while back. Now, all bets are off.
Yes, paparazzi chase her because she's a star, but guess what? I can't remember the last time I saw or heard anything about other members of Young Hollywood like Knightley or Portman falling down drunk in front of a club or being thrown out of a party for being disorderly. Conduct yourself with a little respect, get your act together, and have COMMON FUCKING SENSE. A stint in rehab won't do the trick. Rehab doesn't mean shit. It's what you do afterwards that counts, and with her entire family holding their hands out for a piece of her fame and fortune, I don't think she's got a chance in hell. She's basically cut off her dad, but she's not going to cut off the real toxic appendage in her life: mom of the year Dina.
I couldn't care less if she ever acts again, but this girl is my age, and I couldn't imagine being completely and utterly fucked like she is right now. She's in serious, serious trouble.
