Lindsay Lohan and the Headlines

By Dylan Richkards

Lindsay has been in showbiz since she was 3. You would think that she would be use to the pressure by now. Ever since she was legal to drink, is seems her world is spiraling downward.

As a New Yorker, Lindsay's first gig was at three years old as a Ford model. After which she appeared in over 60 TV commercials until 1996. It was then that Lindsay first appeared as an "actress" on Another World.

Lindsay starred in the movie "The Parent Trap" in 1998 which was a remake of the old version. In 2003, she starred in another film that really skyrocketed her career and Lindsay made the decision to move to Los Angeles.

Lindsay seems to rub people the wrong way, well when it comes to men anyways. Lindsay's four year feud with Hillary Duff is over Aaron Carter. Also the feud with Ashlee and Jessica Simpson over Wilmer Valderrama dates back to 2004.

In the early part of 2005, Lindsay lost a lot of weight. Later Lindsay admitted that she was bulimic. She appeared in Mean Girls. I'm not sure if the Lindsay took the character home with her. But after this movie, she was now portraying a "mean girls" attitude.

In 2005, the paparazzi caused two car crashed that Lindsay was involved in. The following year, she received a letter stating that she was being unprofessional and showing up to work late. While clubbing in New York, Lindsay broke her wrist and had two fractures.

Lindsay began attending AA meetings in December of 2006 after much criticism. Apparently this didn't take since she was arrested two times on drunk driving charges. She was sentenced to jail for 1 day, a community service order and an 18 month alcohol education program.

There hasn't been much in the news lately about Lindsay, as she has been keeping busy with her new movie "Labor Pains." Her next progress hearing is set for January 2009. Hopefully Lindsay has learned a few lessons and learns some self confidence and discipline.
