I almost met Lindsay about 5 months ago, she was working out at a gym right by my apartment. I am not suprised however about her checking into AA. Atleast she is facing her problems rather than drinking her life away like so many stars do. (Terra Ried) And just for the record, when I was 20 I drank like a fuckin fish myself!
Rubbish. Like she's got an alcohol/drug problem. She's 20 years old, she's meant to be going out having a good time. Over reacting americans, gotta love 'em haha. Nothing like a bit of publicity to boost one's struggling career.

This is just a case of another pretentious twat with too much money and time on their hands who doesn't know what to do with herself. I remember Robbie Williams making a big deal about checking into a rehab clinic after having drunk a few beers. What a pathetic little pussie! Can you imagine Keith Moon, Jim Morrisson, or Keith Richards checking into a fucking Rehab clinic?
These silly little twits are just after the attention - Like they don't get enough of that already! They should create clinics for wankers with attention seeking problems. Maybe name them 'Attention seekers not-so-anonymous'?

i had an alcohol and drug problem at 20. it knows no bounds. rich, poor, young, old... nobody is immune from addiction. kurt cobain was addicted to heroin in his teens. you dont say "well he was just having a good time." lohan is not having a good time. if she was, she wouldn't be in rehab. clearly she's embarassed by what she's been doing becos of her drinking.

1. lohan did not make a big deal of it. she's been going in secret and the tabloids followed her and broke the story. im sure she wishes that had not happened. if you're opposed to the publicity, berate the tabloids, not lohan. as far as i know, she hasnt said a word about it. so how is that seeking attention? i like how nobody i have pointed that out to has had an answer aside form saying "she's a whore and she's in rehab!"
2. maybe if keith moon and jim morrison had gone to rehab, they'd still be alive and making great music? furthermore, keith moon WAS trying to quit drinking when he died. he was unsuccessful. if lohan died tomorrow of alcohol poisoning you'd be talking aboubout how ridiculous her life was and how stupid she was to not stop and asking why she wasnt in rehab.
bottom line, you guys are all pricks and you're just looking for excuses to point at somebody else and blame all of society's problems on them. it's lohan's fault!
I'm just left wondering why people are holding her career against her in this... It's like "Oh, she's famous, just looking to get some publicity"... If a 20 year old who wasn't famous checked into rehab, would you react the same way? Then you say that you find her "decadent lifestyle" offensive, before bashing her for trying to quit it...
I'm not a fan of Lohan to any great degree, but come on, she's a kid trying to sort herself out. Let her have her privacy. If it turns out she really is just looking for attention, then you'll feel better for leaving her the fuck alone anyway.
Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.
I prefer directing my spleen towards egotistical rich kids. Still, thanks for the advice.
perhaps you should direct your spleen towards people who deserve it. not a kid who's had one incredibly fucked up adolesence and is trying to get her life back on track before she ends up dead.

I would love to have had an incredibly fucked up adolescence to the point where I was a millionaire by the age of 18. Sounds positively tragic! Excuse me while I go to the pub and cry into my beer.

I wonder why people in this thread are so bent on objectifying this girl. She's a human being. Usually people objectify another when they objectify their own selves and can't see past it.
She has feelings, hurts, problems. She has a dysfunctional family that openly acts out. She's got a serious problem and is looking for help. She's owning her own problem. One has to be quite numb in order to overlook these issues in order to look down from "above" at her.

haha! my adolescence was far from perfect too, but i'm not in any sort of rehab. having a bad childhood/teen years or whatever it may be can't always be the excuse. sure, it's good that she's going to AA to get help, i'm not knocking that. it's just sad though, that at 20 she shouldn't have to go to AA. she shouldn't even be drinking to begin with. realistically i know that's not the case, i drank long before i was 21 too. i don't see anything wrong with getting help, i think it's great, it helped my dad immensely, but to not even be 21 and have a drinking problem is what bothers me. and hopefully this was all done for her own good and not for publicity.

yes, she's lucky. i wouldnt give my upbringing for hers for any money in the world. she gets drunk and creates a scene at a bar. im guessing you NEVER did that before age 20 did you? im sure you never drank at all and never had too much and got a little obnoxious? well guess what, she's normal and did what all the rest of us did. the difference was she had tv cameras to broadcast her every mistake to the world for criticism. im sure you never did a single stupid thing between the ages of 14 and 20, but most of the rest of us normal people did, we just didnt have the misfortune of having it shown to the entire world and plastered on every newspaper cover in the world.
she made some mistakes, as teens are wont to do. but that does not justify the cruelty some arrogant and pretentious pricks around here like to throw at her. i said this before she went into rehab when people were ripping her for hosting snl while pj was on. she's not the anti-christ. she's trying to grow up while the entire world scrutinizes her every move. that isn't easy. we should be glad she's trying to reign in her poor behavior. i think all of us would prefer that to having another courtney love.

did you read the thread? it was not done for publicity. there were no news releases. she just went. the tabloids followed her and put it on the front page once they figured out what she was doing. jesus christ, leave that poor girl alone.
did you all want mike to stop being a publicity hound when he went to rehab and joined AA? did you all think he was a douchebag just looking for attention?
it is sad she has a problem so young. but it's not surprising and it doesn't mean she should be publicly ridiculed for attempting to do something about it.

Hmmm, Keith Moon died of an overdose of pills that were meant to reduce the effects of alcoholism because he was trying to get off the booze and quit beating up his wife.
Keith Richards DID go to herion rehab in the 70's and he's still badass.
Otherwise, I don't know enough about Lindsay Lohan to like or not like her, but she is one of hundreds, maybe thousands of people who became famous and rich and didn't know how to control their wealth or lives, and suddenly had the pressures of cameras watching their every move, people offering them drugs and booze, everyone wanting a piece of their money and not knowing how to deal with it in a confusing time of life.
So kudos to her to seek help and I hope the best for her.
Maybe a few others will see that and seek help, too.

soul I agree with what you are saying. However, it is my understanding that her mother was the one who "outed" her and I believe her mother did this to help repair her image in the media after the producer of the movie she was working on called her out for being constantly late to the production. Call me cynical but I really do believe she is doing this to repair her image.

then why didnt she send out a press release? why wasnt her agent shouting it form the rooftops? maybe she went becos she realized it was starting to affect her reputation and ability to work in her field, but that doesnt make it opportunistic. i finally went to rehab for similar reasons.
if she had made this public, i might agree with you. but this is a very rare case where there was no publicity. the only reason we know is becos the papparazzi followed her. part of sobering up is cleaning up your image and proving that you've changed. you cant beat addiction without that part. you want her to quit doing drugs but somehow still maintain a reputation as a wild party girl?

Lindsay’s mother broke the news on the KIIS FM radio show in Los Angeles with Ryan Seacrest. Although AA is usually a personal matter, her mother told Seacrest “It's true, a lot of people she hangs out with go and it's a positive thing."

I understand that I must come across as a tad heartless on this issue. But I don't care. I just can't see how these ultra rich types deserve sympathy when they happen to find themselves drinking a few beers every day, or snorting coke, or whatever. Shiiit. Get the fuck over yourselves, is my advice to these people. Take a holiday to the Bahamas. Take up yoga.
I just get the impression that visiting a rehab clinic from time to time is simply a 'chic', 'hip' thing to do for people with too much money and not enough balls. Fuck her! Where was my rehab clinic when I was growing up? - I still am growing up by the way. Not that I would have attended one if one had been available. Part of growing up is learning how to deal with this stuff on your own. Having a membership to a rehab clinic is nothing but a rich persons fashion accessory, not too different from pretending an interest in Cabbalism, sporting henna tattoo's, adopting a foreign child, or walking down the street with a fucking Chihuahua dog on a lead. Fuck these people!

I really, really disagree about clumping rehab in with that other bullshit. I think most people here know someone who's needed real help in overcoming an addiction. And don't forget were it not for rehab we may have never had Mad Season and we may not have still had Mike.

O.k, I admit that I'm wrong to paint everyone who has attended rehab with the same brush.
I think what I'm trying to get at is that I don't have much respect for ultra-rich types like Robbie Williams who go out drinking for a few days and then act like they're on deaths doorstep and expect everyone to reagrd them as some sort of tragic artist on deaths doorstep.

you dont know the first thing about any of this do you? you dont get a "membership" in a rehab clinic, it's not like a gym. you check in. it's like a hospital, or a mental institution, not a country club. second, AA is not like rehab. you go to meetings for the rest of your life. you dont just go to dabble and "get away from it all." it's more like a religion than anything else. third, there are people out there who can't "learn how to deal with this stuff on your own." would you tell a diabetic that they need to learn how to not die when they eat sugar? would you tell someone with a peanut allergy that they should suck it up, quit whining, and learn to eat peanuts without it killing them? that's how alcohol affects an alcoholic. they have a different response to it than other people. it's more than a few beers every day.
would you feel this way if your dirt poor brother said he was going to AA? would you tell him he's a fucking pussy and a piece of shit and he needs to suck it up? what does income matter on this issue? do you think poor people can become alcoholics? then why not rich people?
you clearly have some issues. im sorry you live in the trailer park and the rich kids made fun of you for wearing dickies growing up and made your life so hard, but you know what... suck it up and get the fuck over yourself. i hope you get that membership next time you apply to the wonderfully stylish rehab clinic you crave so badly. then maybe you can fit in and stop feeling sorry for yourself and resenting everyone who has more than you. cos it makes you look like a pathetic and whiny little adolescent. lohan's got more character in her little finger than an ignorant prick like you.

i dont know who robbie williams is. but lohan has not done this. ill agree, i dont like people who play rehab for image becos it cheapens what those of us who truly struggle with addiction go through. it forces us to have to deal with ignorant people like you to defend it.

you clearly have some issues. im sorry you live in the trailer park and the rich kids made fun of you for wearing dickies growing up and made your life so hard, but you know what... suck it up and get the fuck over yourself. i hope you get that membership next time you apply to the wonderfully stylish rehab clinic you crave so badly. then maybe you can fit in and stop feeling sorry for yourself and resenting everyone who has more than you. cos it makes you look like a pathetic and whiny little adolescent. lohan's got more character in her little finger than an ignorant prick like you.
i dont know who robbie williams is. but lohan has not done this. ill agree, i dont like people who play rehab for image becos it cheapens what those of us who truly struggle with addiction go through. it forces us to have to deal with ignorant people like you to defend it.
Thankyou for your considered opinion.
No. I'd tell them to get drunk and forget all about peanuts.
