It isn't about "celebrities," it's about a certain demon that goes by the name: Addiction.

This kind of thing happens to people from all walks of life. We're just "lucky" enough to be force-fed it by the media when it happens to a household name.

I actually feel a bit bad for her. She's obviously not ready to give up her demons, and until/unless she is, we'll keep reading these stories about her.

Well, I'll tell ya what I think. I think she's a remarkably talented young woman. I think she has some very, very serious problems and it would be a terrible shame to watch her life go to waste. She is the one out of all the other young idiots of her ilk - Paris, Nicole, Britney - who has ability, in bucketloads, and I think her sad problem aside from her addictions is her mother who is using Lindsay as her own personal ticket to fame - or being as near fame as she's ever gonna get.

Her mother should be arrested, and Linsday needs to have someone shake her and tell her she needs to take this seriously. Because the alternative is going to be horrible, and she may not ever come back from where she ends up.

I agree, Sarah! She is VERY talented and I am looking forward to her new movie too by the way. It is sad to watch her go to waste.

I disagree - look at Robert Downey Jnr. He has made a HUGE comeback. But you'll always see it in his face, the years of abuse. He has aged before his time, and the same thing is starting to happen to Lindsay. You can never reverse that. Not if you're clean for the rest of your life.

You are right about that Sarah.

But I think that people look past the aging of men in Hollywood a little more than they do women. Check out her mug shot, she looks hard core.

I agree- she'll come back from this- there are a lot of other celebs out there who made a comeback after things like this- Kate Moss did!

Most recently, Zodiac and before that Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, and he has a couple more in the pipeline. He's also doing a fair bit of theatre, I understand. He's a HUGE talent.

Sadly, it's often the huge talents that develop the problems, or have existing psychiatric illnesses such as Bipolar Disorder, which, interestingly, has a higher prevalence in creatively gifted people.

Very sad.. Even sadder that her whole life is posted in the papers and the net... I feel sorry for them, but that is the price you pay to be a big celebrity... There's no changing that...

Stupid Stupid,, should had stayed in rehab longer, I guess.

Addiction is a horrible thing,, horrible,, drugs and alcohol,, Thank god she doesn't have kids!!!

I juuuust read this story about two minutes ago before I came back to TCS to see what everyone was talking about.

I feel really bad for her. It is so sad what happens to child stars. The lime light is destructive enough for a lot of people, too much too soon seems to completely destroy innocence in 9 out of 10 children actors.

I hope she recovers and publically talks about what exactly happened...because although it is personal, EVERYONE knows and is watching and it would be good for other Hollywood parents to take serious notice to why this is happening and prevent it in future kids.

I really do feel so bad for her.

They never learn!

Also, I've never heard of an "alcohol detection anklet" before, but it seems to me that the device is at the oposite end of the body than where it should be. Maybe she should have had it strapped to her face so that it could actually detect the alcohol when she breathed?

It seems to me that wearing something like that around your ankle is pointless.

Since I had never heard of this ankle "breathalizer" I did some searching on Google.

Found this "Court TV" video that talks about it being used in the court system and why, and briefly on how it works.

http://www.alcoholmonitoring.com/vid...rtTV052407.wmv

They say 1% of the alcohol that you consume leaves your body by way of perspiration (I know that much), and this bracelet is supposed to detect the alcohol in that 1% found in your perspiration.

However, it seems to me that if it needs "sweat" to detect the alcohol, that it should be worn in an area that actually sweats!!!

Here are some other articles that I found on it:

http://www.alcoholmonitoring.com/how-does.html

http://www.alcoholmonitoring.com/pre...pr5-29-07.html

http://www.alcoholmonitoring.com/pre...rald060707.pdf

http://www.alcoholmonitoring.com/pre...Post071807.pdf

http://www.alcoholmonitoring.com/products/index.html

It seems mostly a celebrity thing or for "high profile" addictions.

Why does everyone feel so sorry for Lilo and nobody felt sorry for Paris?
Because Paris came from money?

In Hollywood any publicity is good publicity. It's all about getting your name out there and heard. I doubt that she really even cares about what happened to her. Sure she was upset and crying during the booking. Today it's probably business as usually and she has her face buried in a line of coke again.

The bottom line is that these types of incidents don't affect their "bottom line". Celebrities aren't like your average Joe's who when they lose their jobs to addiction or jail time etc and end up in the gutter without any money or a fix. Most celebrity have royalties and a steady income regardless of whether they are actively working or not, not to mention more money in the bank than most people. So they don't have to worry about losing the income or their house etc. At least not usually. Yes, there have been situations where a celebrity has declared bankruptcy, but that was largely due to squandering and living above their means, not directly related to having been tossed in jail for DUI or drug possession.

Also, most people wouldn't be able to meet a $250,000 bail bond and would have to think about their problems while sitting in a jail cell. Getting arrested and getting out the same night really doesn't give them much to think about because it's not "reality".

I feel sorry for Lindsay because she's really never had a good role model in her life. He mother went out drinking with her, when she was underage, just so she could hang with the Hollywood crowd. I also feel sorry for her, because even though she's talented, I agree, she doesn't have the "smarts" to know that they Police are going to be watching her very closely and that she shouldn't drive. I don't approve of her partying, but if she had any brains, she wouldn't party unless someone was driving her. With her money, she could easily afford a limo to take her around, ESPECIALLY if she is going to drink and do drugs.

I think she probably was sincere when she left Rehab and every intention of straightening up, but the addiction was more powerful than her resolve.

Sadly, I think she's going to have to have something really awful happen to her for her to really SEE what this lifestyle is doing to her. I just hope she doesn't end up dead.

I did feel sorry for Paris, and for some reason, I don't think she's really an addict like Lohan is. I think Paris is just a party girl, and I think it will be a lot easier for her to stop abusing drugs and alcohal than it will be for Lindsay, but I think Lohan has a really severe problem and it's pretty sad for someone who just turned 21 a couple of weeks ago.

this is very sad and unfortunately a lot of folks have to reach rock bottom before they will admit to themselves that they have a problem, I honestly hope this is rock bottom for Lindsay, cause if she goes any lower she may not come back up at all.


Hollywood really angers me sometimes in how they trivialize ACTUAL addiction, like when Britney was going out partying and then went to rehab- that is not addiction, that is partying too much. Lindsay on the other hand, has a real problem as evidenced by her inability to stop. Most addicts are not succesful on their first or even second or third attempts to quit whatever substance they are abusing. Rehab is not a quick fix, a recovering addict has a long hard raod ahead of them, I hope Lindsay can find the strength and support she needs

I think it's because Lindsay actually has a problem, Paris, like stated below is just a "party-girl"

you know what's really sad though? my Dad is in AA, has been for over 20 years now and you would be shocked at the ages of some of these kids that are required to attend meetings I'm talking 14, 15 years old.

I think they should have detained her longer...not just keep letting her bail out again and again. OBVIOUSLY she does drugs and drinks....and she is obviously driving repeatedly while doing so. She can not be trusted and is not safe. She ought to be given some real jail time! Not just a slap on the wrist. I don't care who she is- she's putting others lives at risk.

There is no "rock bottom" for a celebrity in this day and age. Salaries are outrageously high, and contracts are almost always negotiated with a royalties clause that provides them with a bottomless income for years down the road. There will always be money for rent, money for a fancy car, money to party and money for drugs.

Rock bottom to the average joe is losing their job, their faimly, their home and ending up on the street and on welfare. I don't see that happening to any celebrity, do you?

Lindsey is in a bad place- until she accepts that she has no power over her addiction it looks like she might require some jail time. Hopefully she might benefit from that in the future...

I certainly feel she should be kept out of a car for a while

She needs help! I hear her, Britney, and Paris's names in the news everyday. All 3 obviously have issues. Relapses are not uncommon. Hopefully she'll get better before it actually does kill her or someone else!

These girls also need to realize that they are role models to younger girls.
