TwitterIs Lindsay Lohan the new Robert Downey, Jr.?
Is Lindsay Lohan the new Robert Downey Jr.?
Remember in the late '90s, when the actor just could not get -- and stay -- sober, and was regularly arrested for possessing firearms and drugs (speed, cocaine and heroin) and missing his court-imposed drug tests? He was a talented, total mess. Then he got fired from "Ally McBeal" and spent a year in rehab. Now he's married, with a smart, successful wife, a family and a career. Click here for his drug-past details. Then knock on wood.
We can only hope something works for Lindsay, who has gotten her second DUI citation (hello, wake-up call?) in three months. A good start would be yanking her out of the Hollywood Scene for more than a one-month stay in a ritzy rehab. A solid year out of the limelight just might save her life. Let's hope she gets the same judge Downey got.
Meanwhile, Lindsay's lawyer, Blair Berk, has released a statement about her celebrity client, who was booked this morning on suspicion of DUI, possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custody facility and driving on a suspended license:
"Addiction is a terrible and vicious disease. Since leaving Promises rehab facility on July 13, Lohan has been wearing an electronic alcohol-monitoring bracelet on her ankle. She had it on even as she hit parties and nightclubs in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
"Throughout this period, I have received timely and accurate reports from the testing companies," Berk said.
"Unfortunately, late [Monday] I was informed that Lindsay had relapsed. The bracelet has now been removed. She is safe, out of custody and presently receiving medical care."
Yeah, hey, that SCRAM bracelet worked really well, didn't it?

These bimbos...Lindsay, Britney, Justin, Paris...should all be boycotted from the public and the media shouldn't give them anymore air time or attention...they're all pathetic creatures of bad habits....
Justin really isn't in the news for drugs and alcohol...he seems like he has his life on straight but for all these young girls who think it's cool to drink and drive and to do drugs and drive...they are just stupid...and they need to stop....they only care about themselves...I only hope that it doesn't take one of them killing an innocent bystander for them to wake up and realize that what they are doing is not only harmful to themselves but also to the public.
Poor,poor little rich girl. She has lost her way and needs a Good Shepherd.
Uh, I wouldn't blame it all on the SCRAM ankle bracelet.
I guess the only way they can get attention is like this --- and since they keep making headlines, the attention just reinforces bad behavior. Where have all the real celebrities gone? I guess I'm old but these people are pathetic and uninteresting.
Big difference - Downey'd had 15 years worth of credits under his belt and an ability and willingnes to play character rolls. Hollywood will not be nearly so kind to a less-proven ingenue.
It'll be years before anyone insurance company will underwrite her again. Hope she's saved enough sheckels to finance an Indie
New Robert Downey Jr.? Are u kidding?? At least he has talent! She can wither away and no one will notice.

Lohan's attorney, Blair Berk, is a woman, not a man.
I 'm with Frankie 100% they all need to be black listed from Hollywood. We the people need to let the entertainment big wigs know that this sets too, too much of a bad example for our teens. We need more Mandy Moore's and Hayden Panettiere's and less of these trashy girl's with that can't even spell.
