She's killing her career. Critics and others she's acted with do consider her a very good actress. Nobody is going to take a chance on her. That IS what they'd be doing -- gambling with the $$$ it takes to finance a movie. How To Market a Movie Without Its Star? Lindsay Lohan's arrest early Tuesday on charges of driving under the influence and of cocaine possession has thrown a monkeywrench into the marketing apparatus for TriStar's I Know Who Killed Me, her latest movie, which is scheduled to open on Friday. She had been booked to appear this evening (Wednesday) on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to promote the film, but the network said Tuesday that her appearance had been canceled -- presumably to avoid the inevitable discussion with Leno about her recent scrapes with the law. Today's Los Angeles Times also observed that Lohan's arrest was likely to further set back production on the movie Poor Things, which already was postponed once this year when Lohan checked herself into rehab after an earlier DUI arrest. It was to have started in three weeks. With Lohan no longer available, noted today's New York Times, it was unclear whether the film's financing will hold together. On Tuesday night, the syndicated Access Hollywood read an email from Lohan in which she proclaimed, "I am innocent. ... Did not do drugs; they're not mine." Link

If I suddenly came into a lot of money, taking drugs and drinking myself silly just wouldn't be something that would enter my mind. It's so strange that these "stars" don't find something more constructive to do with themselves. Hukd, as an alkie/addict I'm afraid I would do the same as Lindsay...lotsa money, prone to alcoholism/addiction=trouble. Not excusing her behavior, just understanding it. And back in the day, stars didn't really have to pay for their drugs. There were so many hangers-on that would provide the drugs at little to no charge just to be close to the star. Also, I think cocaine is much cheaper than when I was using 20+ years ago. At that time it was $100/gram. Speaking from personal experience, I didn't have to take responsibility for my actions until I was completely out of control and my family and best friends wouldn't have anything to do with me until I got help. There's a lot to be said for "tough love."

This whole situation would be a lot easier for her if she'd take the first step and admit that she needs help. It must be exhausting to be in a constant state of denial.

Phil Specter's driver was just a driver from a limo company as was OJ's driver the night of the Nicole Brown Murder. These people need to put drivers/security on their payroll. They have the money to afford it and they can then at least avoid that whole breach of confidentiality. Better yet, hire a lawyer to drive her around and then she has attorney client privilege.

I understand what you're saying, Bluejax. I just feel that many of the "stars" find a way to play around and then feign addiction. It seems to me that because they find nothing else to do with their free time other than party, they get into drugs and alcohol out of boredom or something. I honestly don't believe that so many of them are truly addicts by nature. I'm sure some are, though. I'm telling you that if I had a couple of million dollars, I'd be more likely to buy a great house on a hill overlooking a lake. I'd want friends to come over all the time, but I sure wouldn't allow drugs there or excessive use of alcohol. That happens to be MY nature!
I would still buy Kraft Dinners, I'd just buy more!

After all this talk about DUI, Paris and Lindsay, I just remembered I was once hit by a drunk driver. Obviously results weren't too bad or I would have remembered sooner. Long time ago -- app. 25 years I think. I was a pedestrian in a crosswalk at a four-way stop. The vehicle was coming from behind me, completing a left turn in the crosswalk I was in. It was dusk/dark. Streetlights were on. There was some traffic in the area so I was not aware of sound of the particular vehicle coming from behind. Suddenly I'm looking into the headlights of a Chevy Suburban! He was completing a turn so going slow. It hit me. Knocked me to the street. Just got a little black-and-blue in a few places from hitting the pavement. He stopped and got out and talked to me. I could smell his breath. "You've been drinking." "I had a few beers." I got his name, address, etc., but didn't do anything with it. Didn't feel shaken up about it until later in the evening. Then I went to police dept. Said I would have to be examined by a doctor for injuries to file a report. I wasn't injured, so I didn't. Yet few months later I got some kind of report / questionnaire from the State about it. Don't remember anything more about the incident.

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber welcomed their first child, a healthy baby boy, on Thursday, PEOPLE has confirmed. Alexander Pete Schreiber, who was born at 3:59 p.m. in Los Angeles, weighs 8 lbs., 4 oz, and is 22.5 inches long, according to a rep for Watts.

Well, here's a rundown of the craziness that Lindsay engaged in during her latest escapade: /link{http://www.tmz.com/2007/07/27/lindsay-i-wasnt-driving-the-black-kid-was} Apparently the three men involved were on the Today show this morning and give every appearance of credibility with their account.

Had to cringe again what a fiasco with Lindsay protesting she can't be hurt ~ she is a celebrity don't we know! Apparently she's seen much older celebs getting away with murder and her little contemporaries getting a slap on wrist, so why should she be bothered by recent charges? She was a DUI carjacker in possession of dope driving recklessly after running over a man's foot (that is assault with a deadly weapon) and terrorizing a woman by chasing her. All after her brief stay in a Designer Rehab Clinic the stars prefer. If that isn't a gravy train life being "special" and demanding star treatment every time? Some of us parents would know where our kids are at 11pm the next 3 to 5 years...

Pamy, it was a plea bargain. I think the fact that Nicole seemed to 'take responsibility' and plead guilty probably reduced the sentence. Paris had a completely different attitude. but Lindsay better do some real time!

Good lord. It said the child was being held by the bodyguard when he was assaulted. She needs to stay her ass at home for a bit. Join a playgroup for her kids and herself. Start hanging out with other people who have kids her sons' ages.

Okay rule number one for Britney: Hire a nanny to carry your child if you're not going to do it yourself. DO NOT have someone simultaneously be a security guard and a child carrier! How on earth do you do both those jobs at once?! Good grief.

For those of you sitting on pins and needles for word of "The Bachelorette's" birth, here it is. *sound of one gasp* Celebrity Baby Blog has reported that Trista Sutter and husband Ryan welcomed their first child, a boy, last night via C-section, after a failed induction/stalled labor. Too much info? The little bachelor, Maxwell Alston, weighed in at 5 lbs., 3oz., born four weeks early due to Trista's pregnancy complications of preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Everybody's okay now! No word yet if Maxwell will be appearing on "A Baby Story."

I'll bet that is one cute baby! Re: Nicole R., I hope she is taking care of her pregnancy and has kicked the addictions. I always thought she was hysterical on the Simple Life, and wish her well with the legal stuff as well as the pregnancy.
