So, you guys saw the previous clip this morning that I ran in the MILEY CYRUS ATE A PENIS CAKE! post, and from there on out, I spent about three hours looking at old clips of our formerly-favorite girl, Lindsay Lohan. The clip, above, was, by far, my favorite one yet. Lindsay was so young and promising, and didn’t even realize that in the short span of eight years that she’d be all but completely over, fighting over bitty parts in Lifetime movies with other generally-out-of-work actresses. Amazing, right?
So go ahead. Watch the video. I’ll be right here waiting for you to come back and we can discuss it together, huh?
Alright. Done? Good. So, GOD, huh? She used to be so almost-completely awesome, right? She was eighteen and cheeky and f-cking adorable and endearing – and damn right, she couldn’t sing back then either, but that’s completely aside from the point. Lindsay Lohan used to be a demi-goddess, and she used to work all of the time and now look where she’s at. Honestly, sometimes I can’t believe it myself, but here’s the living proof right in front of you. So messed up.
Also, if you’ll notice, after she finishes performing, she couches it for a sit-down with Ellen and …
… talks about her first bout of hospitalization for “exhaustion.” Should this have been an indicator for what was to come? Should her handlers have maybe reached out to her and kind of intervened at that point, if, indeed, it *wasn’t* exhaustion?
I don’t know about you guys, but right about now I find myself yearning for the days of Mean Girls and junky music from the early 2000’s that somehow made it onto the radio (and by “somehow,” I mean “because the junky music was being made by chicks like Lindsay Lohan used to be”). And, oh, 2004. What were you doing in 2004? Were things as good for you as they were for Lindsay during that year? I remember 2004 fondly. I was playing a crap-ton of shows over a three-state area with my crappy old cover band and having a super time, traveling to New Orleans for Mardi Gras (uh, twice), and generally having a blast. Lindsay Lohan was a minor blip on my radar back then, and in my naivete, I took for granted that she’d always be a big old superstar, always around and always doing new fun things.
I was wrong, and I wish I’d seen it coming sooner, because guys, when Lindsay Lohan’s career started imploding all over the place, it really hit me in a sensitive spot. I used to completely love this girl, and now. Look. Look what she’s done to herself. What a damn shame, right?
I didn’t make it passed the first line in the song. Yikes.
Back in 2004 I had started the last two years of high school before going to Uni. Oh dear, how time flies.
She can’t sing. Even sober.
she was pretty and endearing.
and does she mean.. she was writing her songs with kara.. dioguardi? that would be funny.
