Lindsay Lohan: Pretty Vacant
July 25, 2007It doesn’t matter how much money or fame you have if you’re dead inside (or , as Pink Floyd put it) . And that’s where Lindsay Lohan finds herself, in the car wreck that has become her life.
It’s sad; I want to think of her as the little girl in The Parent Trap, that my children watched over and over again after September 11, seeking some comfort. But what she was able to give to others Lindsay apparently can’t give herself.
The people who could save her from herself, her family, unfortunately aren’t Disney characters with hearts of gold. One parent is overly familiar with jail, the other wants to be Lindsay’s party pal and ride her coattails to fame on E!
Lindsay’s too old for foster care–and I don’t know if I’d take her on for $600 a month. But I’d help her if I could.
Is jail the answer? If so, how sad. But she can’t have an ‘intervention’ if there’s no one to intervene for her.
