Go to any tabloid website right now and I bet you can find either a Lindsay Lohan and the inmates are not getting along story or you will find one that says Lindsay Lohan has made lots of friends in jail. If you are more interested in her living conditions, you can find a tabloid that says Lindsay cries herself to sleep every night and has had nothing to drink except dirty water out of her cell sink to other articles that say she gets special privileges, has her own television and that everyone does favors for her.
You know what all this tells me? Prisoners who probably have never seen Lindsay in jail are being released and then selling their stories. Guards are selling stories. Anyone and everyone is trying to make a buck selling Lindsay stories. It is like its very own market.
I think we all knew it would be like this. I also think we all know that when she gets out this week that it is going to be way worse. You do realize there will probably be live news feeds on CNN and MSNBC and FOX when she is released. Why? So they can follow her to a rehab facility. Oh, and how much do you want to bet, tabloid reporters have already been admitted to several rehab facilities this week. Oh, they have. It is very hard to get in after a celebrity, but if you get in before you are golden.
Wow. Did not even think of that at all -- rehab facilities must be CRAWLING with reporters!
ReplyDeleteWhat really cracks me up is that every one of these little tidbits of supposed information is released as a "Breaking News" story. What exactly is so revealing or urgent about Lindsay Lohan news, at all? It seems as if news outlets have forgotten about what important news is, and now just throw everything up to the wall to see if it sticks.
ReplyDeleteIt's pathetic.
It can't be easy to live your life under a microscope. I'm kind of starting to feel bad for her.
ReplyDelete*yawn*
ReplyDeleteNext! I'm ready for the next H'wood tartlet meltdown. Lindsay bores me now.
I bet she'll do a Larry King interview much like Paris did when she gets out. She's too into attention to not try to profit from her experience somehow.
ReplyDeleteOK. The most interesting thing in this item is Enty insinuating that reporters get themselves into rehab to dish the dirt on the recovering celeb. That is crazy. But, I actually believe it. Totally gives me the sads as a retired news gal, though. Ethics are so far gone in so many areas of reporting. Le sigh.
ReplyDeleteOh, and how much do you want to bet, tabloid reporters have already been admitted to several rehab facilities this week.
ReplyDeleteWOW, that never occurred to me! Crazy :D
That reminds me of a 30 Rock joke.
ReplyDeleteTracy Jordan was trying to find a religion he liked because his agent told him it would look better to belong to one before he was arrested or in a scandal.
journalism is a really ugly shade of yellow these days.
ReplyDelete:(
I thought you had to actually have a problem in order to be admitted to a rehab facility. I guess money talks.
ReplyDeleteAnd RocketQueen: Larry King is just about the only one that doesn't pay for interviews.
@surfer - ah, didn't know that! In that case, she probably won't do his show :)
ReplyDeleteHow is rehab supposed to work if the patient has to worry about what he or she does being leaked to the press? It would be even worse if he or she thought that other patients in rehab weren't actually there to get better, but were "professional" journalists.
ReplyDeleteI was in rehab (by choice) and it was hard enough for me knowing that others who were there had every intention of getting wasted the minute they left (those were the ones who were there by court order), but if I knew people were there who didn't have any problems, and were only there to get the dirt on me, rehab wouldn't have made one damn bit of difference for me.
The only thing that suprises me about that family is that
ReplyDelete"Meshshirt" Mikey hasn't signed himself into celeb rehab with Dr.Drew.
Journalists in rehab is the premise of my very talented friend's debut novel, Spin.
