Lindsay Lohan is a big star - Page 2

Lots of people have overcome shitty parents. Certainly a factor, but not an excuse when you are an adult and keep making the same shitty mistakes. And particularly not an excuse when lots of people have offered you help and you throw it back in their face.

But Graham's right. We have this discussion every year. Its boring. If your only reason to come into this thread and forum is to stir up shit, you're trolling. And no one likes trolls. You can stay and enjoy the party or fuck off. Either way, I'll be in the Lost thread gearing up for tonight's ep.

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.
"Prarie Home Companion" changed the way I looked at Lohan..and not for the better. Until then I thought she was screwed up but talented a la RDJ, but after seeing her on the screen with Streep, Kline and company I realised she was a just OK actress who looked better then she was in her previous movies because her costars were even weaker.

When someone who's known for posting gossip (and gossip is by nature tawdry and mean) says that one person is known for being a negative nelly, far be it from me not to point out that there's a kettle and a pot having an argument.

You don't see the irony in him coming into this thread to bitch and moan? I wasn't trolling his thread. He came in here. The kettle-black metaphor was applicable well before I called him out for being a douche.

Lohan's comeback is having problems.
From IMDB:

Quote:
Lindsay Lohan's film career has been dealt another blow - her latest movie will not be released to cinemas.

Labor Pains will premiere on cable TV in America in July before going straight to DVD in August.

In the film, Lohan plays a woman who fakes pregnancy in a bid to keep her job.

The actress has completed just one movie since her 2007 flop I Know Who Killed Me, and recently lost out on the lead role in director Tim Burton's forthcoming remake of Alice In Wonderland. She also pulled out of Dylan Thomas biopic The Edge of Love, and was replaced by Sienna Miller.

In a recent interview, the actress revealed she's working on a new movie with Oscar winner Sean Penn
Ouch.
A quibble though: According to Burton, Lohan was never, ever in contention for Alice. I believe Burton, he is pretty good at casting and knows that Lohan would have been too freaking old for Alice.

Sad. If there is one label that is fatal to you in Hollywood, it is not being a druggie or a drunk ; it's being Box Office Poison. And Lohan now has that label.

Why didn't we ever spend as much time on Natasha Lyonne's problems? She was, at her best, a more interesting actor than Lohan and had a much more spectacular fall from grace. But you didn't and don't hear about her as much as Lohan, or even as much as someone like Paris Hilton. Is it because she's not as "attractive"?

If the search function worked, you'd find a few threads on her particularly around the time she trashed Michael Rappaport's house. It's not about looks, its about popularity. Natasha isn't all that well known to the public at large and thus the media isn't going to print as much about her because her name doesn't sell papers/bring ratings.
post #69 of 146
And the reason she's not that popular is because not that many people wanted to fuck her.

No, it's because she never had any hit films and thus never became well known to the public.

What were Lohan's hit films?

I assume you're bing sarcastic. But to indulge this game...

The Parent Trap (1998)
Worldwide: $92,108,518

Freaky Friday (2003)
Worldwide: $160,846,332

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queens (2004)
Worldwide: $33,051,296

Mean Girls (2004)
Worldwide: $129,042,871

Lindsay was the Miley Cyrus of the early aughts. The Disney girl gone bad. The Parent Trap put her name on the map, Freaky Friday blew her up and Mean Girls clinched her status as "It" teen girl. At the height of it she was everywhere - hosting SNL, recording albums, and discovering boys and blow.

Natasha got some claim to fame in American Pie but was hardly the star of the film, and then got some indie cred with Slums of Beverly Hills and But I'm a Cheerleader - both of which I absolutely love but I bet very few people have heard of or seen. Beyond that, I'd be hard pressed to name anything else she's been in.
post #73 of 146
Sure. Natasha had a stint as a child actor (Pee-Wee's Playhouse), did a Woody Allen film (Everyone Says I Love You), and you can discount American Pie, but other people had less to do in that movie and got careers out of it. I think Natasha slipped under the radar because no one wanted to fuck her.

It's just a theory, but I think you're being force-fed an obsession with Lohan, simply because she's sexier.
post #74 of 146
Natalie Portman is way hotter than Lohan and you barely hear a peep about her. Mainly because Portman doesn't seek out the press like Lohan.

Looks may be part of it but it's not most of it. Look at Nicole Richie. She was overweight by Hollywood standards, not that cute and sought out the attention with Paris and got it.

Natasha was in Blade 3, no wonder her phone stopped ringing.

I'm curious who had a lesser role in American Pie and got famous. Natasha wasn't one of the four male protagonists nor any of their girlfriends. She played Tara Reid's sidekick. Hardly a star making turn.

I have an obsession with lots of people. Lohan does not come close to being at the top of the list. I post about things people like to talk about. For good or bad, people like to talk about Lindsay. You don't. No big whoop.
post #77 of 146
No, you misread me (and I was unclear), I was just wondering out loud about the process, and how we receive it and from where and how that factored into who gets gossiped about and who doesn't. (I might retype that later.)

I'm not up in arms about the gossip, I meant "you're being..." as the gossip-digesting public at large; it should've said "we're" or "you all", at least.

I see. Honestly, gossip magazines/sites will follow anyone. TMZ, Perez Hilton, dlisted and a few other big names have tons of fodder on complete nobodies. TMZ has a tag for some guy who likes to wear florescent mini skits, giant headphones and dance in the middle of public places. dlisted follows some wacko who wears doll houses on his head.

But there are certain people who will always sell magazines/bring hits. Put Brad and Angelina on any cover and it will fly off the shelves. In their case, I'd say the fuck factor is high. But I don't think that's the driving force behind Lohan's popularity. Aside from really beautiful people getting together and breaking up, gossip sites love a good train wreck. Lohan, Britney, Amy Winehouse, Busey, Sizemore...their hijincks will always sell. When they fall, they fall hard.

But aside from who the paparazzi courts, there are the celebs who court the paps. The train wreck crowd tends to think all publicity is good publicity and will call the paps and tell them where they'll be. The paps know that if they try and get in George Clooney's face, he'll rip them a new asshole. Tom Cruise loves to "sue, sue, sue". People like Reese Witherspoon are just too boring. The rags love to make shit up about her because she doesn't do anything wild and crazy.

And the other thing keeping Lohan in the mix is that she continually responds to stuff people say about her on her blog or MySpace account. And in doing so, brings more attention to herself instead of letting shit die down. I just think in Lohan's case, she's force-feeding herself down the media's throat. And if she's dangling, they'll take the bait.

I don't want to be the critic here, no really. But I had to read THE MIRROR EFFECT for class about narcissism and its presence in celebrities, and I think it's related to stuff like this.

We see and talk about fuckups like this, and think that they had it made and then blew it all. But the perspective of the book is that they're pathologically narcisstic with the extreme being Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Stuff like Celebrity Rehab is meant to make us sympathetic to what they're going through, and that it really isn't that easy, even with loads of fame and money.

Carry on with the gossip.

If you really fell sorry for her, then stop paying attention to her. If her antics stop getting massive coverage, she might actually recognize she has a problem and she will get some REAL help, not the phony Celeb Rehab kind.

Lily Allen singing Womanizer. Around the 3:30 mark Lindsay Lohan walks on stage for absolutely no reason, stumbles around a bit then leaves.

Lily is also a train wreck of a person, but since I like her music I can't rag on her.

There are also rumors flying around that Lohan is getting offers to shoot a hardcore porn video, and may be considering it.

Yeah, I saw that. She's been driving around in a sports car lent to her by a porn director. And you know, porn directors love giving shit away for free and have no expectations for her to return the favor.


Here are some pity points for Lohan. From US weekly:

Quote:
When a 46-year-old mom wants to take her daughters out for a special night, a Hollywood nightclub might seem a curious choice. Not so for Dina Lohan, who took Lindsay, 22, and Ali, 15, to Villa on March 25, Us Weekly reports.

“Do you know who I am?” Dina protested when they were turned away at the door because of Ali’s age.

“You’re making a huge mistake. Huge!” Lindsay added.
I don't see what's wrong with this. Aren't moms supposed to spend time with their kids?!

Hope she gets a huge paycheck, because making a Hard Core Porn would pretty much wreck whatever creditibility she has left as an actress.

Looks like Lindsay may be one step closer to porn. SamRo has dumper her ass. Lindsay tried to crash Samantha's sister's party and not only was turned away but had to be restrained by 5 body guards. Now it seems Samantha has locked Lindsay out of the house.

Honestly, I hope that she's able to enter spin cycle and clean up her act/get her life together. Only a cruel person would want to see her totally self destruct and die in a gutter.

That being said (and I'll go straight to hell for saying this), I'd watch her in a porn film.

What better way to get back at your girlfriend who dumped you over her private Twitter (oh yeah, apparently that happened this weekend because Sam is a cheater?) than by uploading a Twitpic of some pastry you made that looks like it has cocaine on the top? Because Lindsay Lohan loves cocaine. Sam Ronson should submit her masterpiece to Cakewrecks.

Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay!!!

Lindsay confirms to E! that she and Samantha are "taking a break". What a polite way to put it. Another would be...

The Ronson's have taken out a restraining order on Linds.

But no worries, Lindsay has Eminem in her corner.The Sun UK leaked his new single which includes references to Lindsay (and Amy Winehouse). He raps, "“Lindsay please come back to seeing men / Samantha’s a two you’re practically a 10.”
