Lindsay Lohan: Truthful Actor in the Role of Life

By Jake 

A lot of people think a lot of things about Lindsay Lohan, but some of those people are wrong. It's the law of averages, look it up. Lindsay cannot be as bad as people or photographers make her out. I believe that Lohan is a model citizen like you or me. Just like us, she sometimes gets superbly drunk and falls down at a high-profile film festival. She is, after all, only human.

Lindsay Lohan is a commendable person. She is one of the few "out" celebrities. Obviously, the entertainment industry is filled with homosexuals, but far from bursting with pride. Many industry gays are too afraid to be open about their sexuality because it could limit their roles. They feel they will only get cast as the gay character in a feature film, network television show or Top 40 song. Lindsay Lohan has not created a Top 40 hit in ten years and certainly does not care about appearing in films or TV programs. That is why I consider her a hero, as opposed to Falcon Heene's parents, who are obsessesed with appearing on TV so much that they created an elaborate balloon hoax that captured the nation's attention, heart and imagination.

The reason people hate Lindsay is because she is too real, too honest. While your average Joe Sixpack and Jane Redbull feign sobriety in front of friends or co-workers, Lindsay is often black-out drunk or passed out in a stranger's or ex-girlfriend's shrubbery. The reason people are against Lindsay is that she questions their own existence by her truthful actions. If everybody was a truthful actor then Lindsay would be the megastar she is poised to be.

I do think Lindsay Lohan is a talented actress and a truthful actor in the role of life, but I understand why a producer or director would not want her on the set of their movie. She could potentially show up drunk or on drugs and be a disruptance. For now I understand. When Lindsay cleans herself up she is going to be bigger than ten Kathrerine Heigls. We may have to wait a few years, but when it happens we will all be better for having waited. Those who have flayed Lohan for her "immature" and drunken/drugged-out actions will have to silently repent as Lindsay's star soars like a phoenix. While we wait for Lindsay Lohan's acting career to turn around, we can enjoy the perfumes she creates, the clothes she designs and the sidewalks she drunkenly tumbles on.

People sit idly by judging Lindsay while cheering on Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. These young women are liars and crazy. Paris Hilton has no discernible talent, and her album and acting gigs are the proof. Britney Spears is a popular singer-- or at least was seven years ago. It seems like it's been quite a while since she released anything worth noting, yet people still act like she is amazing and an inspiration. She is even treated as a bigger gay icon than Lohan. The only thing Spears has ever inspired me to do is shave my head. Lindsay inspires me to be a better person and to stay inside when I am drunk. Those are the kind of lessons that I will teach my children.
