Finaly someone says exactly the obvious solution, thank you.

I mean. does anybody give a shit? She is even more brainless and talentless than Michael Jackson -- she makes Republicans look smart -- so why should anyone at all care is she offs herself, apart from Musto losing a subject for his blogs?

Lindsay - maybe you can talk with Drew Barrymore - who despite her "challenged" parents and stint with drink and drugs (beginning at what, age 10?) was able to lift herself out that pit.

Talentless? Hardly. She was a very appealing movie star and deserves a career and a life.

It's true, this is Anna Nicole all over again, but with way more talent.

I don't honestly feel mama Dina (who usually means well, or at least thinks she does) is nearly as culpable as the dad. He's a horror show in his own league, a raving, destructive force who's full of scary contradictions.

I just think they should both chill, reassess their values and behavior, and do what's really best for Lindsay.

And yes, I feel she's worth saving. I love her as a movie star!

I feel sorry for her having such a loser for a father. He just wants to promote himself. But she does look like she needs rehab. Since Mean Girls she's really done nothing worth wile
career wise. She could recover if she would just focus on staying sober and throwing herself into work.

Her father is an attention-seeking man-whore. Her mother is bad, just not quite the anti-Christ who wants to come off as a phony Christian, but she comes off as a total stage mom, well-intentioned or not, while the father has always been crazy and abusive. Oh and Lindsay's younger sister looks older than her if that was ever possible.

Such a shame. She had a curvy but healthy looking body, seemed funny (watch the first time she hosted SNL), nice, and bubbly but then she got restrained to a Disney contract then she just started making terrible decisions after doing some reasonable work like Bobby and Prairie Home Companion. We'll always have Mean Girls, LiLo.

This scenario has been played out so many times before, there's no surprise left.

Talented? Yes.

Doomed? Probably.

lindsey lohen is yesterday's news....she looks like she is over 40 years old, which in hollywood is akin to 80....only one way for lindsey to go is downhill...not as though there are any great acting roles for her to miss out on even if she was sober.

Lindsay Lohan has so much talent,
she will find true love and great success.
I'm so glad she was able to work with
Robert Altman in Prarie Home Companion.

How many of you were ready to write off
Robert Downey Jr. seven years ago ?
He's going to be a great Sherlock next month.

Michael, you're an excellent family counselor.

"Prairie Home Companion"

Leave Lindsay Alone!

What she really needs is a gurney, a 5150, and Jamie freaking Spears.

her maturing "woman's face" isn't all that.

maybe she's got talent...ok then, maybe a nice personality...hummm...

Does anyone else get a gay vibe from the father? The way he talks, he's super groomed, put together, etc.

Michael, I'd anoint you Lohan Family Shrink in a nanoflash, but might not your take on Lindsay's condition be a tad overstated? Sure, she got dealt the most effed up parent hand on record, but once you dig past the tabloids, she doesn't seem to be doing all that badly. She's certainly not on the destructo-whirl of a few years ago. Lindsay made a perfectly coherent -and funny- set of tweets kicking her rat-bastard father (aka "the sperm donor" -- her nickname) to the curb, then left the rest to her lawyer. Whatever her status with Ronson, they're no longer duking it out in front of paparazzi. She's denied each new dick-of-the-day story, quietly reaffirming that she's unavailable. She shot Machete with high praise from Rodriguez; her forays into fashion may irk the purists, but they're surely more productive than racking up DUIs; she's ditched last year's adventure with anorexia. No question the girl's got a therapeutic battle nobody would envy, and maybe you've got intelligence denied us civillians. But if not, I'd love to see you champion her right to invoke the recall clause on her parents without the tacky tabloid flourish. Y/N?

I think you have to give Michael and Dina credit: How many of us could turn our family dysfunctions into a profit center?

"Just a therapeutic problem"?

Yeah, like Anna Nicole, Heath, and Michael jackson.

And the parents are currently battling it out about whether Lindsay is a mess, the father having tapes to prove she is.

Don't believe the spin control about how she's better.

@sanchez, with all due respect, you might want to reconsider just whose spin is most suspect. Michael Lohan has been secretlly taping private conversations, for years! Now he's hawking heavily edited versions - with innacurate date tags, and his side muted - to the least factual tabloids for a hefty price tag?! The parents are battling something out, all right, but it's not Lindsay's well-being. And as Musto notes, Michael is by far the more culpable parent.

I will never understand why anyone would care about this mess. She brings nothing to the table. No matter what happened in her childhood, she is an adult now and is responsible for her own decisions. There are thousands of young actresses who are way prettier and way more talented. Let her die so one of them might get a shot.
