It's hard to feel bad for Lindsay Lohan. It's hard for me to feel bad for Lindsay Lohan, at least. In my book, Lindsay has been given opportunity after opportunity to clean up her act and single handedly squandered each one. That's why when the starlet burst into surprised tears at Judge Marsha Revel's 90-day sentence on Tuesday, I couldn't muster one lick of sympathy.
Instead I had the opposite reaction. I laughed. Why was I guffawing at this girls' misfortune you may ask? There are five simple reasons.
1. I didn't believe Lindsay's tears - It's easy to forget after flops like "I Know Who Killed Me" and "Labor Pains", but Lohan (when she wants to be) is a very talented young actress (I believed she was a nerd in "Mean Girls" and two different people in "the Parent Trap") and it is not out of the realm of possibility that she could conjure up some very situation specific tears, especially with the live cameras rolling.
2. She won't spend the full sentence in jail - If we have learned anything from the Los Angeles Corrections system over the past few years it is that pretty young starlets never spend their entire sentence in jail. And sometimes they spend less than 1% of it (Nicole Richie, we're looking at you).
3. Jail will save Lindsay's life - Lindsay Lohan is a young woman spiraling out of control who hasn't met a consequence she didn't laugh at. Now that she finally has to face up to her misdeeds and take some much needed time away from her friends (unhealthy) and her family (crazy), she might figure out for herself what she needs to do to get her life together.
4. She was still a jerk (albeit a crying jerk) - Who writes F--U on their fingernails when they're going into a courtroom and know they will be put under a paparazzi microscope? An a--hole, that's who.
5. Lindsay's behavior means we will be subjected to dark times in the days to come - That's right, more Michael Lohan. Get ready for the Michael and Dina show as these two absentee parents battle for the spotlight to try to "save" their daughter. While, this made me laugh at first, then it also made me cry.
Lindsay Lohan Possibly Likens Her Jail Sentence to Human Rights Violation in Tweeting Rampage
We put nothing past Lindsay Lohan. Nothing.
That said, she did not overtly compare her legal plight to that of an Iranian woman being tragically stoned in her latest Twitter rant. But you still have to wonder.
Maybe she's just so moved by Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who may be stoned to death for adultery, that she linked to Newsweek article to draw attention to it.
Or she's trying to subtly draw a ridiculous parallel to herself, having been sentenced to 90 days in jail Tuesday for repeatedly, brazenly violating her probation.
Come on. Has Lindsay ever cared about anything besides herself? We're talking about a spoiled brat who walks into court with the words "f--k u" on her nails.
Just saying. Read from the bottom up and see what you think ...
What do you think? Drawing attention to a serious issue with no selfish motive whatsoever, or shamelessly using it to attract sympathy to her own plight?
