Lindsay Lohan has been busy making headlines for all the wrong reasons – and while this is not something new, it seems like this saga (or tragedy) is finally reaching its climax with jail and lengthy rehab times being added to the mix…
Lohan – who started out as a promising new Hollywood talent – has been making a steady downward spiral, becoming addicted to alcohol and drugs and all the while being pulled like a puppet thanks to her crazy parents.
More recently, Lindsay has become acquainted with the inside of a jail cell due to numerous failed drug and alcohol tests, and despite the harsh reality of the law, the star made no delay in hitting the drugs again once she was released from behind bars. However It seems that this latest setback marks Lohan’s realisation that she is in trouble; Lohan tweeted soon after ‘Regrettably, I did in fact fail my most recent drug test … Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn’t go away over night. I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps’.
What is perhaps so sad about this situation is the fact that Lohan actually has talent – around the time of her jail sentence Lohan graced the cover of two well known magazines – Purple Magazine and Vanity Fair – and the photos were stunning. This was followed by a spoof at the MTV music Awards, in while Lohan made fun of herself, proving she still has a sense of humour.
This story is certainly not new – superstar Drew Barrymore became a child star before turning into a child addict and while it seemed she would fade into oblivion, Ms. Barrymore is now one of the hottest actresses around and a global style icon. With any luck this will be the case for Lindsay and in the future she will be able to look upon this time as just a bad memory. With a voluntary admission to rehab and a willingness to suffer the consequences of her actions, we all have our fingers crossed that Lindsay will overcome her demons and return as the talented actress that we know she is.
