NBC has just announced that Lindsay Lohan will be Hosting Saturday Night Live on Saturday March 3rd….Lindsay, who is often called Li-Lo in the press, will be Guest Hosting for the Fourth time in her career, the first time since 2006…
I got “Chills” up & down my body when I first heard this news. On the eve of Whitney Houston”s funeral, Lindsay Lohan is coming out once again….
Lindsay is an American born actress raised on Long Island, NY (just like me)…She is the eldest daughter of Michael & Dina Lohan who have had a very public disaster of a marriage which ended in a very ugly divorce…Michael Lohan was a Wall Street Trader who has been in & out of jail for years…He is an admitted Alcoholic & Drug Addict who has been in & out of sobriety many times…Dina was an actress & a model and managed Lindsay’s career up until recently…
Lindsay was a very sought after “Child Model” , listed with the prestigious ‘Ford’ agency…She modeled for ‘Calvin Klein’ & for ‘Ambercrombie Kids’. She appeared in over 100 TV commercials including ‘Pizza Hut’ & ‘Wendy’s’…
At the age of 11 in 1998, Lindsay starred in the Disney remake of ‘The Parent Trap’ , her first Big Screen Breakthrough….She also appeared in ‘Freaky Friday’, ‘Mean Girls’, and ‘Herbie: Fully Loaded’…all BIG Hits which surged her career.
In 2007 whilst at the Height of her stardom, Lindsay started to melt down…She was arrested for 2 DUI’s (Driving Under Influence of Drugs or Alcohol), and she had 3 very public stints at Drug Rehabs…Lindsay was falling apart on a very public stage…She was unable to ‘keep it together’ , get sober, and act responsibly…. Lindsay stayed in the public eye even at her worst…She lost very important film roles because she was so unreliable and one famous producer claimed that a film with Lindsay Lohan was “uninsurable”!!!
Lindsay was accused of stealing, lying, and she was even unable to make court appearances on time….Ordered to do community service by a very reasonable Judge, she was unable to show up on time and comply…It seemed every time I turned on the news or opened a newspaper there were “LI-Lo” headlines and footage of another Lohan nightmare!!!
Years ago, Robert Downey Jr was on the same path…Finally ‘hitting bottom’ in prison he surrendered to his ‘disease’ and got sober...He has become a true American Icon…Married, children, & major Film roles, “Iron Man” & ” Sherlock Holmes” he has become a ‘Power of Example’ of what could be for Lindsay Lohan….
BEFORE SOBRIETY
AFTER SOBRIETY
On the other hand, Anna Nichole Smith, Michael Jackson, & Whitney Houston are examples of what this ‘Disease’ CAN & WILL do if left ‘untreated’ or ‘ignored’….
I Love Lindsay Lohan and I’m raising 2 little girls that have been ‘Growing Up’ with her….If left to her own devices her story will end tragically…I pray for her ‘Sobriety’ and I “Beg her Handlers” to be mindful of her substance behavior…It will be very interesting to see Lindsay coming out again on Saturday Night Live…Which Lohan will we see??!! Sober & Together, or will this appearance be marked by still more ‘Public Humiliations’ or worse….
In the January/February edition of Playboy magazine, Lindsay Lohan graced the cover…She did a complete Pictorial inspired by her idol Marilyn Monroe.
In the beautiful words of Elton John, “Her Candle Burned Out Long Before, Her Legend Ever Did…” ….I am praying that these beautiful words remain with Marilyn Monroe and that Lindsay has a rich & full life in front of her….More Shall Be Revealed…
