Reid About It

Is there anything more "car crash interesting" than watching Lindsay Lohan self-destruct?

Everytime you think it can't get worse, or can't get more public, she turns another corner and floors it for looneyville. Car crashes? She's got 'em. Late night car chases? Even better! Movies getting publicly cancelled because of her partying? You betcha. Drunk driving? Constantly. Throw in a fresh dusting of right-from-rehab-cocaine, and it's the best reality show anywhere near television.

Think about it. In 2003-04, she had three major hits (Drama Queen, Mean Girls, Freaky Friday), and hasn't made much of a positive splash since then. By the numbers, Lindsay's had five car crashes, four awful movies, two albums no one bought, two arrests, two stints in rehab, and one relationship with Wilder Valderrama, whoever the Hell that is. I think he was on "Alf."

I'm not sure why she's still the queen of all media, but it sure is interesting. I wish she'd do another "Herbie" movie, just so the car could tell her to get her drunk ass out and stop crashing into people.

UPDATE: They're reporting that Lohan has checked herself into the Chateau Marmont. Man, that's a great move. Yep, nothing bad ever happens there. That place isn't famous for Belushi dying there, or rockstars trashing it in drug-fueled rampages. I guess she couldn't get a nice apartment above the Viper Room, or some other calm location.
