Here are some new advertisements starring none other than Lindsay Lohan. These are for her 6126 leggings collection, which she’s expanding into a full clothing line. Boy, Lindsay sure looks… healthy in these ads, doesn’t she? Who is the target demographic for 6126 again? Prostitutes and tweens? Ugh.

Anyway, on Tuesday, Perez Hilton had a short little “exclusive story” about Lindsay Lohan getting paid in cash for her “celebrity” appearances. Perez reported that Lindsay gets $2,500 to show up to any event in Los Angeles, which apparently is less money than Snooki from Jersey Shore gets (what?). Also, Perez claimed that Lindsay demanded to paid in cash, noting “Drug money?!” To be fair to Perez, that’s where my mind went too.

Anyway, Lindsay worked herself up into a cracked-out lather over this, and responded via a series of rage tweets. Basically, she said: “Perez Hilton your statement couldn’t be more wrong in every single way. And I find your accusations and slanderous remarks to be gross. Karma is a bitch, isn’t it? I can’t imagine what yours will be. I’m sure he’s the one sitting on drugs, no1 in their right mind should ever be so dark and have such a desire to be mean to people. I try to never respond… but that’s vulgar and out of line.” But deciphering Lindsay’s crack tweets is getting harder and harder, quite honestly. Here’s a screencap of The Rage of the Blohan:

I never understand how and why Lindsay gets so f-cking enraged with this sh-t. Does she really think that the majority of people look at her crack face and think “Oh, there’s a healthy young woman who looks like she’s got her life together”? Does she think that it’s only a few “slanderous” bloggers who think that she’s a f-cking mess?

Anyway, I have two other pieces of Lohan news. First, if you’d like to watch the entire BBC documentary Lindsay did for child trafficking in India, Perez compiled all of the video, so you can go here. I only watched a little bit, and honestly the few minutes I saw, she didn’t seem that strung out. Second piece of news: The Daily Mail reports that Lindsay got herself a new tattoo. Apparently it’s on her arm, and it reads “I’m a star, I’m a star.” Photos are here – the tattoo is right below some nasty scars on Lindsay’s forearm… ugh. Do you think she got the tattoo because she wants to remember what to scream to bouncers who refuse her entry to the clubs? “I’m a star! I’m a star!”

Last Friday, we heard about yet another incident of Lindsay Lohan being a f-cking mess out and about in LA. Much like the cactus incident just days before, Lindsay busted her ass because she was wasted. Only Lindsay can’t say that she was really wasted, because it always has to be someone’s fault. With both the cactus incident and the April Fools incident, Lindsay blamed the paparazzi for “pushing” her. Note: there was video of both incidents, and although the paparazzi are crowding her, they aren’t touching her. But that didn’t stop Lindsay from getting on her Twitter and raging about… something.

From what I could understand of Lindsay’s crack ramblings, it seems as if she’s blaming the paparazzi for not only “pushing” her, but also for paying off bouncers to refuse her entrance. Now, there has been a rash of various clubs and parties refusing Lindsay entry lately. It started a few weeks ago when Lindsay tried to bust into a private party and the bouncers made her wait fifteen minutes while the paparazzi captured her crack face getting madder and madder. In the past week and a half, Lindsay has been denied entry to several other clubs and events too, and the paparazzi are always there to capture it.

So, does Lindsay’s cracked out conspiracy theory make sense? Are the paparazzi paying people off so that they can get better shots of Lindsay standing around, falling down, rubbing her firecrotch on innocent cacti, throwing cocaine on her shoes, looking pissy and glazed, and being a general milkaholic? Not to sound nasty, but I don’t think the paparazzi have to pay people to get those shots. A source noted to Page Six over the weekend that with the incident last Thursday/Friday when Lindsay was denied entrance to Voyeur, “She is so out of control, nobody wants her to do their club appearances because she’s such a liability.” Gawker agrees with my assessment: “If the bouncer colluded with the paps, why aren’t the pictures better? You’d think they’d have staged a better angle or something, because the ones of her falling down are far zanier. Conclusion: If the paparazzi paid off Voyeur’s bouncer, they’re idiots, because bribes aren’t necessary for wacky LiLo pics. She provides them on her own, for free, all the time.”

Meanwhile, let’s hear the last word from Mother Delusion herself, Dina Lohan. Dina went to Radar to give an “exclusive statement” about whether her daughter’s ass is so broke she can’t even pay her rent. Dina of course calls that report a “total lie” and claims: “It’s unfortunate that our local news channel would put something out there to the public that is totally false. That Lindsay would not be paying her rent is a total lie.” I’m surprised Dina didn’t mention any of the following words: child, innocent, milkaholism, or lawsuit. Dina needs her f-cking head examined.

Another day, another Lindsay Lohan drama. Actually, there was a lot of drama about Lindsay yesterday that I didn’t even get to for various reasons. First, let’s do today’s bullsh-t. First off, these are photos of Lindsay out partying in LA again last night, looking cracked out of her skull. Jesus, look at her eyes. She also fell again – let’s see if she blames a paparazzo for it again. Here’s a photo of that:

Ugh. No cacti were harmed in the photographing of this mess. Anyway, now TMZ is reporting that Lindsay is so broke she’s having problems paying her rent on time. But TMZ also says that after her landlord sent her a legal notice, she paid up, so whatever. If she was truly broke, she wouldn’t have had the $23,000 to pay up:

Lindsay Lohan is broke — so much so, she can’t even pay her rent on time, sources tell TMZ.

We’ve learned Lindsay was two months behind in rent and her landlord sent her a legal notice to pay or get out. Lindsay just paid her landlord $23,000 to become current.

What’s worse … Lindsay isn’t pulling in any income and her prospects for work are almost non-existent because of substance abuse issues … according to our sources.

In the few days since TMZ published the story that friends and professionals are deeply afraid for Lindsay, the situation has become even more dire. We’re told there is still a strong feeling — even resignation — that Lindsay will die soon if she doesn’t get help.

There is deep frustration among the remaining people in Lindsay’s world that her mom, Dina, is enabling her daughter by insisting Lindsay is fine.

As for how Lindsay could possibly be in compliance with her alcohol education program — all she’s required to do is go to the classes and refrain from driving. Drug and alcohol testing are not part of the drill.

[From TMZ]

Next Lohan story was some added drama from Wednesday and Thursday. So, Michael Lohan came out this week to talk about how Lindsay is going to die soon (something something cactus) and how people that are enabling her sh-t need to check themselves. Michael also noted that he would be back in town “in a week or two” to check up on Lindsay, because even though he thinks his daughter is in trouble, he won’t put a hard date on when he’s going to check in on her. So, of course, Lindsay wasn’t happy about that and she sent a series of pathetic crack tweets to and about her father:

Someone, which i’ve mentioned in the past, fell back into the person they used to be when they used to be verbally&psychically abused&hurt me….

it reminded me of when my father would verbally/literally HURT my mother, brothers, sister Aliana

now, as scary for me–>mind, body&sould- it’s been, why, i ask u? why me? i’ve worked so hard, and still work so hard in life-i try to do as

fmuch as i can to put my fathers lack of appreciation-towards his family, friends, co-workers, dhioner towards himself , his denituy….

@samantharonson did the hit feel good?

My father just sent me this as I was leaving my gym “I told you to stop Linds this is the last time… and take down the tweet about me HURTING MOM.. U will be getting a call from SOMEBODY today to end you”

[From Lindsay’s deleted Twitter via Dlisted]

To which Michael responded to X17 (via Us Weekly): “What Lindsay is saying on Twitter is nothing more than nonsense,” he says. “As far as the ex father comment, maybe she’s divorcing me today, but she’ll remarry me once she gets her life back. I hope everyone can see that now she’s really crying out for help….Obviously she realizes that I’m serious about getting her into rehab. She’s beginning to panic because I’ve been contacting people around her, as well as attorneys of my own, to take measures to get her the help she needs.”

My thoughts? Michael did abuse his wife and family, and it probably did do a lot of damage to Lindsay when she was a kid. That being said, she’s an adult now, not a child. This whole “it’s my daddy’s fault and I’m just a milkaholic child, why me?” bullsh-t has got to end, because that’s what’s going to kill her. Her refusal to take responsibility for her own life and her own choices is what is ultimately enabling her.

Here are photos of Lindsay Lohan out last night to celebrate something to do with Star Magazine. Star regularly reports on Lindsay’s dumb, drugged-out ass in highly critical terms, so I have no idea why Lindsay was there to celebrate the tabloid, other than she loves going out and getting high, so why not do it in a room with a bunch of tabloid reporters, right? Incidentally, Star Magazine has another big “Lindsay is a f-cking disaster” story this week, this one about Lindsay’s cracked-out tangle with a paparazzi/cactus/cocaine/milkaholism. Star (via Jezebel) reported:

Remember the night Lindsay Lohan fell into a cactus? That night, “She was wasted and causing such a scene, talking loudly and making extended trips to the bathroom,” says an eyewitness. She knocked over some cups and followed Jesse McCartney around. A few nights before, she hooked up with Adam Senn even though he was with someone else — “she screamed in the girl’s face until she left without Adam,” says a source. The mag says it’s well known that Lindsay Lohan is into cocaine, but hints that she’s “moved on to harder drugs,” quoting a source who claims to have seen her “nodding off.”

[From Star Magazine via Jezebel]

Eh. I buy just about every Lohan story these days, so I’ll buy this. CB has thought in the past that Lindsay’s drug problems were about Adderall and alcohol, but I’ve always thought her sh-t of choice was stronger. Like coke. Like crack. Like heroin. Like anything she can snort or smoke or shoot up that will get her eyes to look that dead.

Anyway, Radar ran an interesting little report about Lindsay too – apparently, she and Leonardo DiCaprio were in some kind of deep conversation a few days ago. Now, Leo and Lindsay have a past. Allegedly, she gave him a lap dance once, and I’ve always suspected she was consistently trying to hit that. Has Leo ever hit it? I don’t know. You decide:

Hollywood’s elite flocked to Sunset Strip’s newest celeb hot spot, Trousdale, on Tuesday night. But two stars stood out from the gorgeous A-list crowd – Leonardo DiCaprio and Lindsay Lohan – and an eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com that the two looked like the best of buddies!

“Lindsay and Leo were talking for ages,” the eyewitness dishes. “They were engrossed in some really deep conversation, heaven only knows what it was about, I mean what kind of deep conversation do you have with Lindsay Lohan?

“I didn’t pick up a flirty vibe from them, well at least not from Leo, I’m sure Lindsay would die to date him! But they looked like really good friends and I would definitely say this wasn’t the first time they had spent time together. Lindsay was totally holding Leo’s attention and he was even ignoring all the gorgeous girls that came over to hit on him – very un-Leonardo like of him!”

Don’t worry though ladies, our source assures us that as soon as he was done with Lindsay he was back to scoping out and flirty heavily with all the beautiful babes.

“Lindsay was an absolute hot mess though. She was sweaty, and dancing all over the place with a cigarette and drink in her hand continually all night long. She was chain smoking and was really knocking back the drinks, she was clearly messed up.”

[From Radar]

I really want to believe that Leo isn’t so gross that he would bone a Lohan, but he might. Another possibility that I’m working on is that Leo was trying to talk to Lindsay about getting help. In his recent Esquire profile, Leo spoke about River Phoenix: “When I was eighteen, River Phoenix was far and away my hero. Think of all those early great performances — My Own Private Idaho. Stand by Me. I always wanted to meet him. One night, I was at this Halloween party, and he passed me. He was beyond pale — he looked white. Before I got a chance to say hello, he was gone, driving off to the Viper Room, where he fell over and died. That’s a lesson.” Doesn’t Leo seem like the kind of guy who would be trying to talk Lindsay into getting help? I think so.

Sidenote: Her hair looks God-awful, doesn’t it? Ugh.

Why can’t I stop laughing at this? Laughing at this disaster, this train wreck, this systemic insanity makes me a horrible person. I need a good slap. Okay, here’s the story: everyone (in the media) seemed to decide all at once that Lindsay Lohan is doing really, really poorly. Just my opinion: Yes, Lindsay isn’t doing well, but I’ve been following her cracked-out activities for years, and she doesn’t really seem any better or worse than usual, for what it’s worth.

Anyway, so now that “everyone” is in agreement about Lindsay, her dad decided to do a big press conference asking Lindsay to “get help”. In nearly every case, a father imploring his daughter to help herself would break my heart. But Michael Lohan isn’t your average case. Michael issues a litany of excuses for why he has to go public, rather than trying to approach Lindsay privately: “I’ve tried every way possible to reach out to my daughter. I’ve called, texted.” That’s it. That’s the extent of “every possible way”. He’s made a few calls. He sent her a couple of texts. Way to bust your ass for your flesh and blood, douche. As for the last time he did speak to her? “Last week she called me when she fell into the cactus. She said ‘Daddy, I need security.’” Daddy, I need a bodyguard to protect me from cacti! DADDY WHY DIDN’T YOU TEXT ME?!? Why can’t I stop laughing? *slaps self*

Michael Lohan addressed the public in a live press conference on Tuesday where he implored his oldest child, Linday Lohan, to get help for her various problems.

Dressed in a suit in his attorney’s office in New York, Lohan blamed the people in Lindsay’s inner circle for enabling her partying and alleged prescription drug addiction.

“People around her that know Lindsay know she’s not ok,” Lohan said. “I get calls from some of her closest friends when they’re out with her during the night. I don’t want her to be a statistic. The press is already writing obits for her. How sick is that?”

Michael begged the media not to judge him for reaching out publicly to his daughter time and time again.

“Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures,” Lohan said. “I’ve tried every way possible to reach out to my daughter. I’ve called, texted…in difficult times she reaches out to me for help. Last week she called me when she fell into the cactus. She said ‘Daddy, I need security.’ This is not about publicity. I’m beat up in the press. It hurts the people around me.”

Michael says he plans to return to Los Angeles “in a week or two” where he wants to sit down with Lindsay and her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holly and convince her to go to rehab.

“If you’re an enabler, get the hell out of the way,” he said. “If Lindsay won’t sit down privately, my attorneys and I will take other measures. I just hope Lindsay is accommodating. Lindsay needs a private setting where she can detox and get individual and family therapy. That’s the program I have in place. It’s here on Long Island. I’m sick and tired of all the nonsense.”

[From Radar]

First: a father who was genuinely concerned about his daughter’s well-being would be able to confirm a hard date for when he was going to be in town, you know? None of this, “in a week or two” business. Second: Can you imagine trying to detox around Michael? If I had to spend a full day with this man, I would become an alcoholic. So no, I don’t think Lindsay should do detox in Long Island. I think if she ever gets clean, it will be because she screwed up big-time, and the rehab was court-ordered. I for one am praying that if and when Lindsay does screw up majorly, it’s not because she killed some innocent person crossing the street or something.

Okay, I have absolutely no idea what the f-ck Lindsay Lohan is rage-tweeting about now. Apparently, after these photos came out yesterday of Lindsay’s feet covered in a white mystery powder, George Lopez made a joke about it on his show last night. What I can’t find is what Lopez actually said about Lindsay, her feet or the mystery powder. So I have literally no idea what Lopez actually said, I only know that whatever it was sent Lindsay into a rage spiral on Twitter. She sniped at Lopez: “thanks for the childish comment regarding baby powder in my shoes to loosen up the leather* don’t you have kids? U wouldn’t wanna hear that about them, or would you? Act like a grown man, have some respect and dignity for yourself.” Um… touché, Madame Crackface Dignity? Here’s a screencap of Lindsay’s Twitter with the messages – with a new photo I haven’t seen before, of Lindsay with DJ AM. Ugh. This bitch:

Lindsay Lohan has chosen an interesting way of addressing the cloud of suspicion she’s been under since being snapped with white powder pumping out of her high-heels: Attack. George. Lopez.

The ‘Mean Girls’ star took to her Twitter (what else?) to take on the comedian over a supposed joke he made on the Monday episode of his late-night talk show, ‘George Lopez Tonight.’ According to reports, Lopez joked Lohan uses baby powder to loosen up her snug shoes.

This seemingly harmless riff set off Lohan, who wrote: “Thanks for the childish comment regarding baby powder in my shoes to loosen up the leather … don’t you have kids?”

She then added, “Act like a grown man, have some respect and dignity for yourself.”

Lopez did not make the jab during his monologue, nor in any clips made available by TBS for Monday.

Lohan was leaving a friends house in Los Angeles on Saturday when a generous amount of white powder started shooting out of her shoes. In some angles, it appeared there was smoke puffing out of her feet.

Last week, she took a tumble onto a cactus while wearing similar high-heeled shoes. She has blamed pushy photographers and not intoxication for the fall. She later joked that she should “start wearing more flats.”

[From PopEater]

So, basically, now we know that the white powder was actually baby powder. I knew it wasn’t cocaine. Lindsay wouldn’t have let all of that coke blow away. So now that’s settled, I want to have a word with Lindsay: shut up. Don’t pick a fight with a man like George Lopez. He’s worked a lot harder, made more powerful friends, and earned the respect of more people than you’ve gotten high with. He’s a comedian who struggled for years to get where he is, and he’s not going to take any kind of hit, publicity or otherwise, from any kind of fight with you. All that will be achieved is that you’ll look even more out of control, deranged, entitled, humorless, cracked out and nasty.

P.S. If anyone knows what George actually said about Lindsay, please put it in the comments!

Here are some new photos of Lindsay Lohan from the weekend. She had a pretty busy weekend for someone who, you know, doesn’t do anything but get high and create drama. In addition to being the subject of some kind of breaking news TMZ report about her drug drama (Breaking: Blohan is cracked out! Actually the source said, “If she doesn’t get help soon, she’s going to die”), Lindsay decided to attend some big events in LA. She went to Perez Hilton’s 32nd birthday party, and even posed with him on the red carpet (ugh), and she was caught leaving a friend’s house the same night… with her feet covered in mysterious white powder. I know people are like “yeah, Lindsay put her feet in some blow” but I don’t think so. First of all, if that was cocaine, Lindsay would have cut off her own feet so she could snort every last particle. And there is no “second of all”.

Before her “mystery powder” covered weekend, Radar reported that Lindsay was blocked from entering the big Victoria’s Secret party on Thursday night. This happened two weeks ago at a club too - perhaps event organizers are finally getting wise to Lindsay’s shenanigans? But still, poor Lindsay! Chuckle:

THE place to be in Hollywood Thursday night was the Victoria’s Secret party at hot new nightclub Trousdale…that is if you were anybody other than Lindsay Lohan.

While celebs like Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton had a blast catching up and Russell Brand flirted with VS super-models Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio, Lindsay was blocked at the door, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

“As soon as she strolled up to the door, the rope was quickly pulled in front of her,” an eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com. “She tried to pass the big bodyguard but he blocked her way.” No matter what Lindsay did, she couldn’t get in!

Lindsay didn’t care and still tried to barge her way through, our eyewitness says. “But the security guys weren’t having it and escorted her to the exit.”

However, a source close to the situation insists that the whole thing was just an error at the door. “Lindsay wasn’t banned from the guest list,” the source says. “I’m sure that whatever happened was just a misunderstanding.”

[From Radar]

Of course it was all just an “error”. I’m sure if someone did some digging, we would find that Lindsay began screaming, “Don’t you know who I am!?!?” To which the bodyguards were like, “Um, yeah. That’s why we’re not letting you in.” But I love the part of the story where they were blocking her and she thought she was being clever by just barging through. Oh, to spent a minute in that cracked-out mind.

Anyway, we’re all totally Lohan-haters, because Lindsay ran to Gossip Cop to whine about TMZ’s report that she’s near death or whatever. She told Gossip Cop that “I’m working and healthy” – which we can see with our own eyes, right, Lindsay? When asked if she needed to go to rehab again (the fourth time’s the charm), Lindsay apparently just said that she was “fine”. Of course!

Meanwhile, PopEater’s gossip guy claims that news outlets are already preparing Lindsay’s obituary. PopEater’s source (a senior news producer) says: “News outlets need to be prepared. However shocking a story it might be, they are in the business of breaking news fast and any preparation that can be done ahead of time is them just simply doing their jobs. We all scrambled when Brittany Murphy and Heath Ledger died and don’t want that to happen again.” They did the same thing when Britney Spears was going downhill too. TMZ also reports that some LA cops are concerned about Lindsay. According to TMZ: “Cops who see Lindsay at her worst — late nights and early mornings when she needs assistance avoiding the paparazzi — tell TMZ they have been concerned about her “erratic behavior” and “attitude” — which have grown progressively worse over the last few months. We’re told during one of Lindsay’s crazier nights out recently, cops became so concerned they discussed taking her in for a 5150 evaluation. Cops decided against it because she didn’t meet all the criteria for a 5150 — they felt she could still take care of herself — though feebly.”

I remember when Britney was going downhill and she was so clearly out of control and mentally unstable, I had so much genuine sympathy for her. Britney was so obviously unwell, and the problems were beyond whatever drugs she was on (who knows). In Lindsay’s case, it just feels different, doesn’t it? To me it does. Maybe it’s that Lindsay is cognizant enough to consistently be in denial, which wasn’t the case for Britney. Plus, Lindsay just keeps on surviving whatever bullsh-t she’s putting her body through. Like a cockroach.

This was a big story yesterday, but we’ve only gotten access to the photos now – Lindsay Lohan busting her ass (on a cactus!) coming out of a party on Tuesday night. Just judging from the photos, Lindsay is completely wasted, on what, I have no idea. Tequila and crack? Vodka and coke? Beer and meth? In Lindsay’s defense, though, I would have busted my ass in those shoes too, stone cold sober. There’s even video:

Unfortunately, Page Six has some behind-the-scenes drama leading up to the busting-her-ass-on-a-cactus incident, and it’s not a pretty picture:

Lindsay Lohan fell on her face into an agave plant on her way into a house party in LA early yesterday. The troubled starlet — who recently announced she’s clear of drugs and booze — stumbled again as she exited on her killer heels, slurring at photographers, “You guys pushed me,” which they denied.

Spies tell us that Lohan was already a mess earlier in the night at the Chateau Marmont.

One witness said, “Lindsay was with a group of friends and freaked out when she thought she’d lost her handbag, going round looking under people’s tables. But eventually she realized she’d left it on a chair on the other side of the room. Then she locked herself in a toilet stall and began screaming on her phone, saying: ‘I can’t believe you are not here!’ When a girl at the sink asked her if she was OK, she told her to get lost. Once back outside she got grumpy when a friend told her she looked tired.”

[From Page Six]

She got grumpy when someone told her she looked “tired”? What would she have felt like if someone told you, “You look like you’re cracked out of your skull”?

Meanwhile, In Touch Weekly (via Jezebel) is reporting that Lindsay’s Spring Equinox was spent looking “completely wasted” after clubbing, and a friend tells the mag: “Lindsay is drinking all the time and falling back into her old drug habits. In every country, she has people who will stay out all night and party with her. She’s keeping really bad company. Lindsay has been drunk-dialing people and rambling on about her problems.” Who still takes Lindsay’s calls?

Sidenote: What the hell kind of pants is Lindsay wearing? They look like baggy stirrup pants from the 1980s!

*Photo of Lindsay in India, courtesy of the BBC & The Daily Mail - for more photos go to The Daily Mail.*

Look at how high Lindsay looks! But don’t think that this is drug related, because it’s not, Haters. Lindsay is high on charity work! Chuckle. The above photo is courtesy of The Daily Mail and the BBC, and it’s an image from Lindsay’s trip to India last year, where she took part in a BBC documentary about child trafficking. Considering she spent like a total of one week in India, it’s kind of amazing that we’re still talking about it. Perhaps we are still fascinated because Lindsay (and everyone around her) continues to be an a-hole about the incident. From the clip I saw of the doc, Lindsay was particularly strung-out, narrating the piece with gems like “The parents aren’t necessarily in the wrong…the children are obviously not in the wrong…um…ah, the traffickers are the ones in the wrong, because they know what they’re doing, and anyone who says that they don’t know? I mean, come on” and of course, “Didn’t you hear that children were abused, and some girls, maybe if they were attractive, were raped and prostituted?”

While India wants to ban Lindsay from ever coming back, some people at the BBC are apparently afraid they’re going to lose their jobs over this incident. So they’ve taken to the media to defend their hiring of La Lohan:

She certainly wasn’t the first celebrity name to spring to mind when linked with the filming of a documentary about child trafficking in India. But Lindsay Lohan appeared to have thrown herself into the project wholeheartedly as she posed with a young child who may have benefited from her very public intervention.

However BBC bosses have been forced to defend The Mean Girls actress, who is as well known for her partying lifestyle as her film work.

Newly released pictures show one of the highest profile members of young Hollywood dressed simply in a black dress and shawl, very little make-up and looking to all intents and purposes like a woman on a mercy mission.

Actress Lohan, who is primarily known for her partying lifestyle, visited India last December to make a BBC documentary about poverty stricken women and children in the country. Lohan’s trip to India caused controversy at the time after she falsely claimed she had rescued 40 child workers.

At the time she tweeted: ‘Over 40 children saved so far, within one day’s work. This is what life is about…. Doing THIS is a life worth living!!! Oh, and I’m talking about being in India.’

But according to activists leading the raids, Lohan did not arrive in India until after the raids had been completed and the children had been rescued.

A BBC spokesman said at the time that there had been a ‘misinterpretation’.

During the whistlestop tour Lindsay visited the SANLAAP (women and children’s charity) home in Kolkata and will also visited local hospitals to give toys to sick children. The star said the trip was the ‘most amazing time of my life’ and mentioned the work of Bachpan Bachao Andolan (Save the Childhood Movement), a charity which works against child trafficking.

Danny Cohen, BBC3′s channel controller, defended the use of Hollywood actress to front the investigative documentary. He told Radio Times: ‘Finding a celebrity who genuinely cares about the issue really helps pull in a crowd that wouldn’t otherwise switch on. But you have to be careful. If you get a rent-a-celeb, this audience can spot it a mile off. I’ve turned down more celebrity-led documentaries than I’ve put on the channel.’

And the documentary’s director Maninderpal Sahota, rushed to defend accusations that local children were being used as an accessory to help rebrand Lohan’s fading celebrity. Sahota said: ‘It’s clearly not comparable, but I think as a result of working in an adult world since she was ten, she feels childhood is precious, and when you lose one you can never replace those years. She behaved perfectly throughout – she slept in the same hotels, travelled in the same cars, just asked the right questions and clearly empathised with the children in a way hardened reporters might struggle to have done. Most people in rural villages in India have absolutely no idea who Lindsay Lohan is… When we finished, we had to race to the airport chased by paparazzi. That’s not the kind of thing you get if you work with Michael Buerk.’

But Radio Times still slammed the documentary as ‘a crass pairing even though her presence will no doubt double the audience for the issue.’

And the publication were not able to interview concerned Lohan personally, as they wrote: ‘Our attempts foundered when her personal assistant asked what the fee would be.’

[From The Daily Mail]

I really don’t get this. Did Lohan “polish” some BBC’s higher-up’s “knob”? Granted, I believe Lindsay probably had no problems staying wherever she was told, and being generally compliant. Probably because she was coked out of her skull, judging from these photos. She probably thought the children were part of her normal cavalcade of delusions, like the time she thought she was working with a talking car.

Just know that my original title was “Blohan to ‘design’ cracked-out crack bags for Ed Hardy”. But I thought it was a tad too harsh, and I promised CB I would try to tone down the crackhead talk. It’s difficult with this story, though. I mean, Lindsay is already a world-class “stink-eyed leggings designer” and “heart-shaped-nipple-pastie-Ungaro-designer” so handbags for douchewear design house Ed Hardy seems totally in line. Is it just me, or is “handbag designer” the career choice of failures? Granted, sometimes some new handbag designer comes along and actually wows me (Tory Burch, anyone?), but I don’t think Lindsay will be one of them. Here’s more:

Let’s hope for Lindsay Lohan’s sake she has better luck than Jon Gosselin working with the folks over at Ed Hardy.

A source exclusively reveals to us that Linds is in talks with the L.A.-based clothing company to launch a new line of handbags…

“Lindsay and the design team at Ed Hardy have mutual friends, and they knew she was interested in looking for a handbag license and partner,” our source says. “They thought she’d be a good fit and so did she.”

So far, it sounds like the collaboration is running smoothly. “As of last week, there are three collections in development and numerous more are expected,” our source says.

“Lindsay is very directly involved with the project, and she’s always pulling things online and from magazines for ideas.”

This isn’t Lohan’s first involvement in the handbag business. In 2007, she was the celeb face of Jill Stuart handbags, and in 2004, she did the same for Dooney & Bourke.

She currently has her own line of leggings, labeled 6126, and self-tanning products called Sevin Nyne. In a less successful venture, she was canned earlier this month by Emanuel Ungaro after serving as its artistic director for just one horribly received collection.

No word yet on when the Lohan-Ed Hardy collaboration will be released.

Can we start taking bets on just how derivative this handbag line is going to be? And who it will be derivative of? My guess is that Lindsay will copy handbags from Kate Spade, YSL, and Marc Jacobs. And my guess is that Dina will think Lindsay is a “genius” for it too. Ugh.

Sidenote: Haha, the first images I got when I searched for “Ed Hardy” were of half-naked strung out girls and Kevin Federline. Chuckle… Lindsay, this is your future.

Yeah, you can run but you can’t hide, Lindsay! Hide your face in shame! This is actually a photo of Lindsay hiding her face in shame last night. Jesus, Linds. But some pants on. You’re not Taylor Momsen.
