When I read a story about Lindsay Lohan being arrested this morning, I was confused. I thought she turned herself in 3 days ago and was released on bail. I didn't realize that today's incident was brand new.
The problem is now that she's 21, she's an adult and is completely responsible for her own life. Her parents can't intervene because they have no legal jurisdiction over her. Her lawyer, manager, agent and publicist can't do much, and what they can do (i.e. drop her as a client), would probably do more harm than good. So who's left?
According to her attorney, she's "safe" and back in rehab. Well, we all know how that's worked out for her in the past, don't we!
I don't mean to be rude here, but something has got to give or she's going to end up dead, just like Anna Nicole Smith. Her continuous partying is a huge cry for help that no one seems to be paying attention to, because they're too busy riding on the coattails of her celebrity.
Will someone please, PLEASE, step up to the plate and help this young woman, before it's too late?
I realize that "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink," and that she has to want to help herself get better. But if her family and those people on her management team don't do something and figure out a way to help her RIGHT NOW, eventually they won't have to worry about her at all, because she will no longer be a client. Instead, Lindsay Lohan will just be another statistic: one more young Hollywood star whose life was cut short because of drugs and alcohol, joining the ranks of River Phoenix and John Belushi, among others.
Please don't let that happen. If anyone reading this is someone who actually has the ability to do something, and help Lindsay, then please do it now because everyone's life has value, including yours, and you just never know when you might need someone to return the favor to you.
We're all in this together, and together we can make a difference.
