Well, Lindsay, I hope you’re loving sobriety, because it looks like you’ll have plenty of time to focus on it.
La Lohan’s next slated role, in the Shirley MacLaine-starring Poor Things, was supposed to begin filming when she got out of rehab. Production had been halted to give Ms. Lohan some time to get that whole addictive binge drinking thing under control, but it looks like they needn’t have bothered; production’s been shut down entirely.
According to a Page Six source, “Ms. Lohan’s antics in Las Vegas over the weekend have scared the bond companies and all of the funding has been pulled.”
Seriously? What antics? Look, I’m as harsh a Lohan critic as the next blogger, but there was a shocking dearth of antics in Las Vegas. She showed up at PURE. She posed with some Red Bull. She danced. She was being watched like a hawk out there, and there were no antics. If there were antics, they would have been written about right here on this blog, by yours truly. No such antics occurred.
A Lohan friend retorts that:
She had nothing to do with that movie shutting down. It was a mess to begin with. They randomly fired Channing Tatum for Giovanni Ribisi, and then financing fell through because producers spent money like water. It was only supposed to cost $4 million – Lindsay was being paid nothing for that role.
Lindsay is proving to everyone that she is – and will remain – sober by voluntarily wearing the ankle bracelet and taking drug tests. This is not about her work. It’s about her being able to live her life and go out with her friends without people writing nasty items about her.
I very rarely side with any quoted “friend” of Lindsay, but I agree here. It sounds like the production end is trying to blame Lohan for their own financial missteps. Lindsay’s made nothing but responsible decisions since her Memorial Day accident — she checked into rehab, and stayed for longer than the requisite 28 days required before the press will take it seriously, she’s voluntarily wearing an alcohol detection anklet, she turned herself into the police for her Memorial Day antics, and seems generally to be keeping herself out of trouble. I disagree with the assertion that she shouldn’t have been in Vegas — why does sobriety have to be about hiding out in your room between AA meetings? Why shouldn’t she be able to celebrate turning 21 in the same place everyone else does? If Lindsay had gotten fucked up in Vegas, you would have read about it. She didn’t. I think, if anything, she’s setting a positive example right now, and, for now, she’s got my support.
Logan could care less about that movie and Crazy Fonda and Shirley’s seasoned actress jibes shortly before getting caught.. and more about keeping her underage addicted butt outta jail by acting all holy and straighten out.. and finally alert to her mistakes when she was nabbed being so bad.. She should have went to court, let a judge put her in rehab, for all this last ditch clean up might be for naught, as she was um.. sober enough to by-pass the formal sentencing which is the scary- I will obey the wise judgement part, that shocks you to really react. I imagine Lindsay can stay sober for a few months, but apparently they didn’t teach her in rehab to avoid all her old addictive ways and bad friends enough so she might fail again very soon..
Boo!! I disagree with you, you are not that naive, or are you? She didn’t learn anything, and I wouldn’t insure her either, she’s too high of a risk. She only runs to rehab when she gets in trouble, she has abused rehab, and it’s sad for the people who are really trying to get help, cause of her, rehab is a joke.
I disagree too. It was widely reported she was overheard trying to get Extacsy in Vegas. PLUS, she has been at the club since Vegas every night. Its not good for her image to be at the club everynight. She was on COKE too and that damn detector doesn’t detect coke at all. If she wants any kind of career, she needs to keep her ass indoors for quite some time. Because now she is just a party girl that doesn’t drink but probably does coke and still parties ALL NIGHT LONG so the odds of her showing up late have not changed at all. She will never break this image if she doesn’t change and I don’t think she will change. I understand your theory, that’s probably how she is rationalizing it too. I’m proving I’m not drinking. WELL your still going out EVERY GOD DAMN NIGHT TIL 4 FUCKING AM so your still a fucking party girl. She should have got out of rehab and kept her ass home. Same as Britney. They are just flushing their careers away because they can’t stop going out. Its sad- so much potential. Wasted.
When my boyfriend managed the Strip Club, he cheated a coupla times. Then, went to Corfu for a vacation. He was cured. Then he went back to the strip club and I thought the temptation was too much for him. That’s where Lindsay is right now. Don’t go back to the same places and do the same things. I was aquitted in the shooting, by the way. But he shouldn’t have gon back there.
