And In Other News: The Sun Came Up Today
Los Angeles, California – Actress (or whatever she does) Lindsay Lohan has, evidently, been behaving strangely in the past week or two. This is different in some way than the normal level of strangeness in her behavior. This time, LiLo may have actually turned felon!
On June 6, Lindsay was posing for a spread in Elle magazine wearing $400,000 worth of Christian Dior diamond jewelry. After the photo shoot, the jewels seemed to have gone missing. A spokespers on for Scotland Yard has stated that they “will be speaking to a number of people”, including Lohan, who is not a newcomer to the concept of co-opting other people’s stuff. In 2007, she kept some clothes loaned to Elle by Louis Vuitton. Several months later, she was photographed by the paparazzi leaving a party wearing a fur coat that wasn’t hers. After seeing the pictures in the press, the owner went public, and Lindsay settled the issue by returning the coat and probably parting with a good amount of cash as well. While it is not unusual for celebrities to keep a pair of shoes or some clothes after a photo shoot, almost half a million dollars worth of diamonds is something else altogether. Dior is understandably upset. Elle has no explanation yet.
If Lindsay Lohan (right) Steals Anything, I hope It's Food.
Although some may blame Lindsay’s recent erratic behavior on heartbreak after longtime girlfriend and sparring partner Samantha Ronson supposedly kicked her to the curb, ‘erratic’ is sort of her baseline. The admitted alcoholic and drug addict has been carried out of clubs, berated by a film producer for tardiness and bad attitude, posted nonsensical rants on her blog and Twitter page, and had public, physical fights with her girlfriend.
All that, and she’s only 22. So much to accomplish in such a short time.
And yet, with all of that, she is still bored enough to post old topless photographs of herself on her Twitter page. One would think being investigated by Scotland Yard would make a girl behave, but not this girl. Although she has not, according to even people dying to rat on her, started drinking again, she was seen in a club dancing on the stripper pole and screaming at a man for no reason at all.
That’s gotta be the malnutrition talking.
During her relationship with Ronson, Lindsay put on enough LBs to actually look healthy. Now that things have gone sour, she has returned to looking like a beach ball with a weave balancing on a couple of toothpicks.
Investigations have not turned up any news yet, and, despite Lohan’s inherent strangeness and aberrant behavior, it seems highly unlikely that she would steal that much. There’s a big difference between getting hammered and walking out of a party with someone’s coat and committing a Class-A Felony.
If she does end up in jail, though, I hope someone gets that girl a sandwich or two.
