This is a pretty amusing story, actually. While Lindsay Lohan was planning, scheming, and tooling around in New York City over the weekend while hosting “SNL,” she stayed at the Mercer Hotel; so naturally, the paparazzi were on high alert for crackhead antics in the area. Meanwhile, an unaware Debbie Harry (who’s shown above, in case you couldn’t tell) was also staying at the Mercer and left the building on Sunday morning to be greeted by numerous flashbulbs from paps who mistook her for Lohan. Silly paps should’ve known that Lohan doesn’t rise until at least midday, right?
Kaiser, CB, and myself all pretty much had the same response to this, which was “Gee, it must suck to be Debbie Harry right now.” On one hand, Debbie was mistaken for a 25-year-old woman. On the other, Debbie was mistaken for a 25-year-old crackhead. Meanwhile, a legend was mistaken for Lohan. It doesn’t really seem like a fair trade off, does it?
When Debbie Harry of the band Blondie left the Mercer Hotel on Sunday, photographers crowded around the 66-year-old. Several of the snappers report believing that they were shooting photos of 25-year-old Lindsay Lohan, who had hosted “SNL” the night before.
Harry did appear rather Lohan-like, with her platinum blonde, face-framing fringe and aviator sunglasses visible amidst her hooded jacket. The image looks very similar to one snapped of Lohan two days before, as she exited the same hotel wearing similar sunglasses. The two women do share a similar complexion and face structure, despite their 41 year age difference.
Lohan has been criticized in recent months for looking far older than her age. When she appeared at the amFAR Gala at Cipriani Wall Street in February, many commented that her overly bleached hair, nude makeup and matronly dress made her look like a woman 20 years older.

Indeed, Lohan looked like absolutely hell at the aforementioned amFAR Gala, but she’s been looking quite rough for so many years at this point. Will Lohan take it as a wake-up call that a 66-year-old woman could, as far as physicality is concerned, be her barely older sister? Probably not. Lohan doesn’t know the meaning of wake-up calls unless it involves her dealer rapping on the door with her latest delivery.
In the meantime … poor Debbie Harry. She deserves so much better than to be aesthetically associated with a crackhead.
