Current mood:  thoughtful

Can you believe Lindsay has gotten in trouble again? Let me know your take on it.

Here's my take:

When you are in recovery for ANY addiction, you have to get yourself AWAY from all the things that triggered you. You can't just wear an alcohol monitor on your ankle and keep going out with your party friends.

Even with me – I realized I was a work addict and that even though I'd left my job, by being in NYC, I was still being triggered by all the same things that made me workaholic. That's why I've decided to spend the summer in the Hamptons.

Girls like Lindsay and Britney need to get out of LA and go to Nova Scotia or something. Go to the Himalayan Mountains.Go SOMEWHERE far, far away from the microscope to regroup and rebuild (from the ground up) a solid foundation. I don't mean rebuild their career - but rather rebuild their LIVES. Screw Hollywood. Nothing is worth killing yourself over and that's exactly what these girls are doing.

That's not just advice for celebs. If there's anything in your life that is controlling you… that's causing you to self-destruct….that's sabotaging the vision you have in your head – whether it's a guy, an addiction or even behaviors you feel you can't get a handle on: PICK UP AND GO SOMEWHERE YOU CAN MEDITATE FOR AWHILE. Talk to God. Ask for guidance. You will get it. Trust Big Momma.

I wish Lindsay's mother would take her OUT of the entertainment business. Just goes to show – parents don't always know best. Even MY mother is totally freaking out about my spending my summer in the Hamptons. She thinks it's bad for my marriage. But I'm piecing myself together and I need to do it in an uninterrupted way.

I realize not everyone is lucky enough to have a second home in the country – or be able to go to Europe and disappear (like I think Britney and Lindsay need to do) but EVERYONE can create a little corner in your room that is your sanctuary. Literally – take a corner and clear the junk out. Put a table of some sort with a white candle on top (if you can get one). Put anything else on the table (not a lot of stuff) that inspires you spiritually to help you focus (like a picture of your grandmother that you were close to but has passed away or something like that) and at least once a day, spend a half hour (preferably in the morning) sitting at that table and talking to God (in your head or even out loud).

Don't just say prayers the way you've been saying them forever – that can get routine and lose it's meaning – they become just WORDS. Speak to God from your SOUL. From the DEPTHS of your being. For me, when I talk to "God", I talk to my Dad who passed away when I was 16. I see him in my head. I tell him how much I love him. And I just…talk. When I need it, I ask for guidance. And, most importantly, I listen.

If you do the same everyday, you will find a compass that will never let you down.

And I want that for you, my sister. I want you to be guided toward your True North without falling into the traps that we sometimes set up for ourselves.

Don't be your own worst enemy. That's what Lindsay is doing. Even parents can't guide you when you're self-destructive. That kind of guidance can only come from spirituality.

I know it sounds woo-woo – but I wouldn't share it with you if I didn't believe it with every ounce of my own soul. I hope this message makes sense to you and you're receiving it at the right time so you can act on it.

You are always in my heart and during MY conversations with God, I am always thanking Him for you and planning our future together. We will do great things.

xx

♥ Sammi ♥ Keeps wondering Why?????
Samantha Roadway

 
I agree with your outlook on it..........I come form a family of drug addicts and one of my brothers has been sent away because here he was getting into to much trouble and I think that is the best thing that could have been done to keep him clean. Although I am not one i know what the feeling of being taken away from something that you love and are addicted to it is not the greatest feeling at first but then you realize that its the journey of life an you will get through it and you are only as bad as you make it.

I never really liked Britney, but i never wished something like this would happen to her and whats sad it's that she's stopping people from helping her. On lindsay I luv her movies but i do really think she should leave the public eye for a while at least until shes sure she can confront her sickness seriously not just go to rehab stay a few days or weeks and think theyre all ok and perfectly fine... I think theyre scared of seeing what has become of them...

My outlook on Lindsay is that she has no guidance, no help.. After all of her problems none of her "friends" try to stick by her and help her- instead they go with her to parties- she obviuosly needs to ditch those friends and stay out of the public eye for awhile or embrace it and use it as a motive to keep her sober. But, she is out of her mind. So, it'll take a lot more than that to fix her problems.

About Lindsay's mother..she's once said about why she hasn't stepped in to help Lindsay that she's a big girl now and needs to make her own mistakes on her own. I think that's ridiculous. I think there's a point in time when a parent may need to step in and help their child. Like how Britney's mom tried to help..even Kevin has tried to help for the sake of their 2 sons. But she refuses and thinks they're ganging up on her. I definitely think Britney needs the most help out of them both. I agree that they both need to get far, far away from their environment and Hollywood.

I have to be honest when I say that when I heard about Lindsay, I wasn't surprised. I believe that you can't just go to rehab for 30 days and go back to what you were doing before~ you have to WANT to get better. I totally agree with you that the hollywood starlets just need to get away from that whole scene. I talk to God every day whether I need to or not (usually I do) and just being able to count my blessings and get my feelings helps me keep my head on straight. I wish that Lindsay would realize what she's doing to her life before she loses something or someone she loves, including herself.

I totally understand what you're saying. I haven't been in a position of drinking and drugs and partying like Lindsay, but I was hurting myself for a long time, and when you're doing it you don't realize that it's wrong. It sounds silly, but you think that what you're doing is right for you, even though it's bad. I feel really bad for her, and I hope she can get some help before things go further.

Atoosa,

I think that what Lindsay is going through is something that everyone goes through a few times in life. It can be any internal issue, but it is just that: an internal issue that only you can feel. Sometimes cries for help can be manifested in ways that aren't helpful, and unforunately for Lindsay, the rest of the world has a fasination with it, and thrives off of watching a slow motion car wreak. Earlier this summer, I was going through my early 20's life crisis and had some serious sorting out to do. I more or less went into social exhile and only spoke to a few select people (of course my Mom) for only short periods of time. I am a great listener to advice, but I knew that it was time to start listening to myself and rely on the knowledge I've acquired in my 24 years here on earth. It's good to get away and have a clear perspective on things to plan out your next step. I remember when I was feeling really down, one of my dearest friends who is older and has a 15 year daughter said to me "I know you must feel broken down and crumbled into little pieces right now, but the beauty of it is that once you start rebuilding yourself, you'll only grow to be stronger. And if you're faced with the same problem again in life, you'll be better equipped with the strength to deal with it, so allow yourself to feel broken. Being broken is being human, and being human is being able to feel, and the ability to feel is in itself a beautiful thing."

Although Lindsay is "in it" there's the hope of someday victoriously rising out of if. I think she just needs to be able to tear herself away from all of the pretty shiny things that Hollywood has the illusion to offer a girl her age. Once that mountain has been conquered, the battle will be half over. My thoughts a good energy are with her!

P.S. I saw you on the THS of LL on E! You worked it Kitty! Meow!!!

I agree with you totally. I think the best thing that she could do at this point is to just get away. Being a celebrity in Hollywood is like living in a bubble. She has got to get out of her bubble and get some serious help. I mean there are girls that look up to her, being a celebrity is a responsibility. I know that she is young and wants to have a good time, but I think she needs to recover from her issues then party in a responsible nondestructive way. If she doesn't stop things are only going to get worse for her and they going to get worse very quickly.

I agree with you about getting away, and how Britney and Lindsay need to just rebuild. I also like your idea on just meditating to bring you some piece.

But let's say these girls didn't believe in God? Not because of any bitterness inside them, but because they were brought up that way? What do you suggest they do then?

Just wondering.

i dont believe lindsay thinks she has a problem. i think people are just sending her to rehab and she doesnt really want to go. to get better you have to want to get better. when a celeb goes to rehab its like they are automatically forgiven when they get out. i think she needs to do some time in jail and get away from the cameras and the spotlight and think about what she has done.
shes such a talented girl but all her talent will go to waist if she doesnt realize what shes doing with her life.
considering the amount of charges against her, im pretty sure she will go to jail and have some time to think. until then, all we can do is pray and hope for the best.

Personally, I think she wants to be in the spotlight. Shes been in rehab numerous times. And she checked out and out again. The help was there for her, she refused and now shes back to doing what she does best. attention.

-talking to god has helped me with alot. I'm glad he's there. or atleast 'there' haha.

Makes perfect sense to me. Since my break-up with a cheating boyfriend, I have found my own peacefully sanctuary, my own apartment. It's amazing what time, space and peace of quiet will do for the soul.

Thanks for another awesome blog.

I talk to my Grandma like you talk to your dad. I am never fully moved in to a place until her framed picture is up and on display. :)

she needs help, discipline and in order to get better she has to stay away from those crowds she hangs with. the best thing for her to do right now is to move out of L.A. for a while and be away from that scene so she can focus on getting better.

I agree with you here. Lindsey and Brittney just need some away time. They also need solid guidance from a respected adult. I know I could get no where in life without the guidance and love from others; and I honestly don't think either of them have much of that. Very inspirational as well!

Her mother is SUCH an ENABLER.

For the past three or four years you can look at pictures and videos of Dina Lohan partying WITH a then-underage Lindsay.
She is a terrible, terrible mother,

and girls out there who wish their parents were more lenient should thank God that their mother isn't like THAT.

She is a money-hungry stage mother who is forcing her daughter into publicity--be it good or bad.

It's just tragic.

I have no idea what has become of young Hollywood.

GET AWAY FROM EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING THAT IS ENABLING YOU TO DO THE BAD THINGS YOU ARE DOING.
Rehab for a third time in just a few months isn't impressive.

She is not going to be taken seriously as an actress for a very long time.

I needed to do this. My family was making me cry every night because all the pressure is on me. They want a hosue so we have like no money. No one takes me to get a job cause we live like in the woods and then they complain cause a)i don't ahev one and b)I don't have my liscense. They only way to get either is if my parents take me or some other adult But no one will.

SO i'm in Key West with my best friend until the 4th. I haven't cried once while here! I don't feel like jumping off the bridge anymore. I'm me again.

And that is wha thtese celebs need.

Oh, I agree 100%. I think her mother and she both need to get as far away from LA and NYC as possible. Not that there aren't opportunities to end up in bad situations in Oklahoma or wherever, but obviously the places they are at are not conducive to a healthy life<myspace>style</myspace>. I say her mother because she seems just as troubled. She keeps making up excuses for her daughter as though carrying around coke and binge drinking is perfectly acceptable and it is just a phase.

I think it is great the Nicole Ritchie is owning up to her mistakes and pleaded guilty today. She got jail and she knew that going in, but she is being responsible. Lindsay certainly needs to get some jail time because the rehab thing doesn't work for her apparently.

it's hard to believe that these young women with all their power
have barely a squidgin of intelligence or common sense

we need to quit rewarding such celebrities
& applaud/promote the hidden jewels & stars that live amongst us,
working hard & being unsung heros

the culture is leading everyone astray,
i am sad to see

now nicole's in trouble, too

my wish is that we give these women privacy & pay attention to people who are
truly contributing to everyone's well-being - get the focus off them
& to improving your self,
for future's sake

i completly agree, lindsay needs to go somewhere and not come back till she's healthy. she's a young girl and she can't throw her life away like that. all these girls need help. and it's sad that she JUST turned 21 and she's already having alcohol problems. i just hope people having trouble with drugs & alcohol get help!

I believe that Lindsay has the potential for so many great things, being so young. She just needs to get her life back on track. I think that she first needs to realize that she does, in fact, have a problem and she needs to address that. In several interviews, when she was approached with questions about her supposed "problems", she simply said that she was just a kid having fun. But you can go out with your friends and not be involved in all of the bad things that she was involved in. The same can be said about Britney Spears, who just needs some guidance.

I adore Lindsay. I hate that she is going through this. She is such a beautiful and talented person! She does need great friends who will help her through this. Her parents need to stop bickering back and forth in the media and both be there for her! She needs so much help right now and no one is giving it to her. I don't believe the boys that say that she took their car. The 911 call was definitely confusing. Sounds like to me that she fired her assistant and everyone was pissed off and they were trying to get Lindsay in trouble. But, I did see pics of her wearing a bandage under the ankle bracelet. The cocaine she denies because she is an addict and she is lying to herself. I just hope she gets all the help she needs and support from everyone. I guess I could go on and on about this because I have loved her since the Parent Trap, but I'll shutup now. LOL

I understand Lindsey. I'm not an alcoholic but I'm a cutter. It's really hard to cut the ties that hold you down. I still haven't completely cut the ties that hold me down. Though I'm beginning too. I have friends that I need to stay away from but it's so hard to tell them.. I can't be around you. It's really hard and scarey at the same time. You don't want to hurt that person but sometimes ya gotta do what's best for yourself. Some one needs to explain this to Lindsey. It doesn't seem like she herself wants to part from it. and until she does she's not going to change.

You're a great Mentor Atoosa. I was just explaining to a friend that what a person posts on their page affects other people whether we realize that or not. It does. and you've always been uplifting. I thank you for that. I'm really glad there are people out there like you Atoosa for us to look up to. I look up to you. So thanks for being such a great Mentor to all of us.

Hey Atoosa,


I really think that Lindsay just needs a LOT of distqance from the media. I beliee that when you're put into the business at such an early age, and you aren't surrounded with people who have you're best interest at heart, you'll wind up screwed.

Lindsay seems as though she's trying to live up to a "suitable" standard by young Hollywood's standards, you know the cliche of "young, pretty, blonde, famous, rich and dumb."

But Lindsay and the rest of the Fantastic Four aren't dumb; they're irresponsible. They are acting out to see who'll come to their aid. For instance, Britney Spears is dying for media attention because she no longer grabs the positive focus anymore.

We no longer hear about how many albums she's selling, we hear about if she's wearing panties and whom she may be sleeping with. I blame a lot of this frenzy on us too, because as a nation and world as a whole, we cannot seem to mind our own business.

Perhaps if we didn't buy into as much of this hypocrisy as we do now, would they calm down? Maybe not. But it has to start SOMEWHERE!

These "starlets" as they've been called do not deserve even a thumbnails worth of media attention. They've realized they are no longer 15, 16, and 17 and they need to do something in order to reclaim their titles. They are battling one another for the number one spot.

They put their money where their mouths are and look at where it's landed them; jail, poor media coverage, sex tapes (would you have caught Marilyn Monroe in a SEX tape?!?!) reality TV shows. ou name it, they've got it. We're buying into their source of stupidity.

as always atoosa, this blog hits me at my core. i swear it's some kind of esp or something. :)
i don't mean about the party-ing,out of control part. i feel bad for those celebs in a way. they are caught up in the pressure by their fans and the press to look good and be a good role-model. but they are just kids deep down inside like everyone else! i agree, their parents should take them out of there and somewhere else, where ever that should be.
but what hit me at my core this time was the self-destucting part. i am glad i can share my story with you.
i have 3 older sisters, and 1 older brother that passed away 10+ years ago. my oldest sister, tana, has always been the rebelious teenager type. there are countless stories about her lashing out and my mom lashing out at each other. it was never really a picture perfect time for our youth. she is always labeled as the out cast of the family.
it always ached in my heart that she was like that. i mean, there was a reason to the label. but i always thought people deserved another chance to change their image and start over fresh.
so for the past several years, we have exchanged many emails. i try to help her get along with our family better, but something always gets in the way. i think it is her thought that we are the same as before and that we will hurt her more. i try to tell her that we would never do that. and for a moment, she agrees. but then.... it goes back and forth in the same way. and recently she sent me an angry email. but this time, to me, she went way too far. she went on about how my mother never does anything positive for us and she never will before she dies. it made my heart ache so badly. my mother came to near death about a year ago, and itmakes me so sad b/c tana never said anything about it when i told her. i don't understand how a person (let lone her own daughter) could say such a horrible thing. i can understand she is angry, but....
i feel like i should not talk to her anymore. it just brings more pain to us all. it just seems like a lost cause. it happens everytime i try to help her. she just can't find any faith in us that we love and care about her. i don't feel like she is really even my sister. and it sounds so harsh, i totally agree. but the way she gets so angry and says such hurtful things to her own family....
what do you suggest? i've asked God for help, i was so upset last night. i dove right into the issue at hand and asked Him for His help. i think He calmed me down a bit, so that's good. i prayed that tana could see that we do indeed love and care for her. but i also asked Him what i should do, if i should continue contacting her. would it hurt worse to continue the way we are going, or if we just don't talk to each other for a while?
thank you so much for listening. God gave us a wonderful gift in you. :)

I think its horrible whats happening to celebrities today. Britney and Lindsay are both disturbed. It might be a phase that theyre going through. They were both idols for young girls.

I do agree that they should go somewhere, take a break, etc etc. Even going to jail has become some sort of trend. Paris, Lindsay, Nicole Richie.

I hope they all do change, I believe they can.

That's so strange... the other day I was having this conversation with a friend and I said, "Why don't these girls know that all they need to do is get out of dodge?!" I have the same opinion, all Lindsay needs to do is pick up and start over in Oklahoma or Australia or Norway or ANYWHERE that's not LA. To be honest I can't even see her leaving. She probably thinks she'll be forgotten if she goes MIA for a while. What she doesn't realize is that myself and everyone I know and all of her fellow actors will have so much more respect for her if she does. I was hoping that the rehab thing would have made her realize that just because she's in "the business" doesn't mean she has to live in tinsletown. I could go on and on... too bad she will probably never read your blog. It could be all she needs!

I usually love your blogs and just take them as good solid advice. This one struck me different for some reason. I guess because I've done what you advised us to do in my own way but got yelled at and downgraded for it. Right now there are several people in my life that when I'm around them I don't act like the person I want myself to be. I find myself retreating to my own little space to sit and think and ask god for help and think about what advice my grandma would give me. Those people I'm talking about say I just I run away from my problems and I'm immature especially if I'm being confronted by them about something I was wrong on.

I guess I still think your advice is great. I just need to be strong enough and confident in my actions. I usually disagree with them when they say I am wrong. I also don't think I am being immature when I take the time to consider a situation before taking any actions. I think that as alpha kitties we need to be careful not to run from problems but take time for ourselves to take care of those problems.

I love how you turned this around to make it about yourself and your summer in the Hamptons. I don't think I've read something so pretentious in ages. Did you really equate being a workaholic with being a drug/alcohol abuser? And did you really equate Nova Scotia with the Himalayas? LOL.

I personaly think lindsey needs to find inner peace pray something...her parents are unstable she has no one to rely on...i think shes crying for someone to help her that the only way to escpae is to change for just a breif moment...shes an amzing person but she needs to escpae somewhere else using something else...travel take a break and come back and say "you know what, im lindsey lohan...with a new view of myself"

as a little girl before my parents would tuck me in i'd get on my knees and say a prayer that most kids that age would say " now i lay me down to sleep.." it became so routine sometimes i would rush through it, skip a sentence and go to sleep so i'd have time to listen to the stories my mom would tell me.. (she's a professional storyteller, so i never had the traditional read out of a book oness :]) but anyway my mom heard me one and day and stopped me and explained to me that since i had established a relationship with God and Jesus Christ it wasnt necessary to recite that rhyming prayer and that i was old enough to just speak from the heart and pray about what needed to be prayed about... each night my spirituality matures and i become closer to God because ive gotten to know him on a personal level, and i thank my mom and my heart for that.


i agree with you about the whole lindsay and brittney situation..
when my mom was going through her divorce with my father she'd go for car rides or sit in our garden and just be @ peace with herself.. from the outside looking in, you could tell her mind was cleared and it made things better...

Linsday Lohan upsets me. Stars who end up like this upset me. I used to like her a lot because she was different. She didn't look like everyone else. She had freckles and she was red head and she looked good! She wasn't a twig and she had had problems, but seemed fine. But now, she's turned into everyone. And you know, I pray for her to get better because, even though I don't know her personally, I know she can be better than that. I want more role models in Hollywood. Good, solid role models. I know there are some, but most of the younger stars throw away their lives to Hollywood when they don;t have to. I want to be an actress. That is my life's goal and I will pursue it with all of my heart until my dreams come true. But my ultimate goal is to not end up like everyone else. I want to study the environment in college and when I'm famous, I want to influence kids and adults alike, to take care of the envvironment. I want to fight for what I believe in. Whether i be against global warming, or for gay rights. And. I want to do what I love. I want to act and I want to entertain. I want to stay clean and be a role model. If your goal is to be an actress, please know that you can handle the press, you can handle the stress, the pressure, everything. Do not go in there unprepared. Do not go in there so that you can buy drugs and screw up your life. To the stars who already have done that, I agree with Atoosha. Get away from what's killing you because you can't handle it. Some people just can't handle it and it's not worth losing your life over. Go away and fix yourself, people will love you more, not less. I pray for better role models, I pray for stars to get their lives back, I pray for this to stop happening. Thank you Atoosha. You put everything you said very well and I agree full heartedly. I think I ended up writing more than you did. I'm sorry. <3

Here's my take on Lindsay. I think it gets so old hearing about her problems day after day. She's a horrible role model,millions of young girls look up to her. I was watching the news and Lindsay's mom was commenting on the Jay Leno show,where they were making fun of Lindsay. She said something about how this was a very personal family issue and that they will work through it as a family. In my opinion it is NOT a personal issue at all! Lindsay was driving like a maniac, running red lights, she could have killed someone!!!! Just because you are a celeb doesn't give you the excuse to put others lifes in danger.
