76. Fact is, if this were my kid or yours, there wouldn't be the pity or the "do over!" attitude.
Parents are excuse makers and buy their kids out of all kinds situations. The average person would be in jail or prison for what "stars" get only a slight reprimand for.

What does this say for the judicial system? What does it say for the person at fault?
As far as calling them "kids"-----Paris is no kid. Britney is no kid. Heck, even Lindsey is 20! GROW UP. Most young adults in the real world do not behave in this manner. If they do, they pay for it. I am sick of the media glorifying these people as idols. And if they are tired of the media, then keep the panties on and stay sober.

You don't see all young and famous people acting in this manner....look at Trumps, and others who don't make the news so we don't even know their names!

The doped out pic of Lindsey made me sad. It reminded me of the dead pictures of Anna Nicole and others. What's next?

77. Her mother should have figured it out a LONG time ago, instead of partying along with her daughter. Now it's time for Lindsay to go into a REAL rehab program instead of a spa trying to pass as rehab. Try Betty Ford or Hazelden, places where real addicts go through real withdrawl and don't have shopping privileges. It's time to face the music, party time is over or she'll be toes up before her 22nd birthday. As for the poor excuse of a person who calls herself a mother, maybe she will get a job of her own and be productive at something.

78. Someones mom- I too am a mother of a 21 yr. old who drinks occasionally, and he has called me to pick him up. That's because I've drilled into his head the dangers. I am proud to say I still have influence on him, and Lindsay's mother too, could have helped her daughter more than she did. Just because she's 20 doesn't mean her parents couldn't have shown her how to fly strait.

79. These stars seem to go in and out of rehab more often than I change my underwear. I do wish Lindsay the best of luck though. I feel bad for this young woman. Just look at her parents. Need I say more? Maybe if they were better role models, she wouldn't be in so much trouble. Her mother should be nurturing her, not trying to suck in Lindsay's success for herself. It makes me sick.

80. it's a shame how many famous people ruin their lives and are so unhappy when the have everything they could ever want when most people are miserable because they have nothing. it's absolutely sickening to see and people need to WAKE UP.

i realize lindsay has her issues with her father and other things, but it would be a shame to completely throw away all of her talent for something so stupid (like drugs) that ruins your life no matter how much money you have. (for all the haters she is very talented and i seriously recommend georgia rule. don't let your opinion of her overshadow the talent of her costars felicity huffman and jane fonda. also, what one of you could have played those twins in the parent trap at such a young age???)

stars also need to realize they don't need stints in rehab or eating disorders or a wild partying lifestyle (or slutty clothes) to get the general public's attention. THEY ALREADY HAVE OUR ATTENTION. THEY'RE FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm so tired of stupid people. seems we're surrounded.

81. oh she sees the seriousness of the situation NOW that she's in trouble. I guess before everyone was just being a party pooper.

82. Who cares about Lindsay Lohan...she is the cause of her own problems...I have no sympathy for her.

How are Larry and Dannielynn doing? LOL They seem to be all but forgotten now.

83. So, - now Lindsey want our "consideration" when she had NONE for the other passengers in the car or the public at-large. Ever hear of "manslaughter"? She's earned whatever she gets, - hopefully, she "earns" her way back out. But, if she returns to the same ring of "friends" she had before, it's all just a ruse to salvage her "image" and possible career, - as well as those who's incomes are partially or wholey based upon hers.

84. Excuse me...but don't you first have to detox before you go into rehab? What kind of a spa - uh, I mean rehab is this exactly?
And WHEN will the bar owners be held responsible for serving a minor? HELLO? Governor Arnold...are you listening? Let's take a good look at the slimeballs that invite these young kids into their establishments. At their age they should be going to a movie and for ice cream - not out partying until all hours - sniffing, shooting, and smoking whatever they can get in the V.I.P. rooms.
I am ashamed of Lindsey's mom - yes, I know Lindsey is over 18 - but PLEASE she was partying it up (with ole' mama) when she was a tweener.

85. Stop hiring these gals . Until Hollywood smartens up and stops putting them in their movies it gives them free reign to do whatever they damn well please.
They are rewarded for driving dui - applauded in magazines and lauded for their sense of style blah blah blah
stop already.
fine some good young actresses who don't party smoke and do drugs.
You are rewarding their behaviour by giving them more work.

stop already!

86. Nature has a way of getting rid of people who are just...useless. Dangerous chemicals (such as cocaine) naturally cleanse the world of useless people by eventually killing them. They should just let her die, what use is she to anybody anyway? She obviously doesn't care about her career, her friends and family who care for her, or even herself for that matter. Why should anyone else care? If you ask me, Lohan, Spears, and Hilton, and whatever other skanks in hollywood who's perfect lives are just not good enough for them should be replaced with desireable hollywood stars who dont need to live in the lightning speed fast lane to feel better than everyone else. But what else can I say, this world is a VERY messed up place.

87. Everyone knows Lindsay needs help, except Lindsay. Until she admits she is powerless over alcohol and drugs, treatment won't work.

88. #75JRL Anna Nicole had 2 drunk drivings under her belt-she didn't drive cuz she had no license.

89. Lindsay needs to go to rehab for a while. Jack Osborne went for at least 4 months and look what it did for him. She is not a lost cause, she is young and doesn't have a good role model. I think the press makes it worse for her, they should just leave her alone.
I agree with Julie, she should pray. She should go away for a while, just her and a bible, don't laugh, she needs Christ.
Oh, I can see all the fingers typing with people who disagree, it's okay, I can handle it.

90. nice air quotes marie, though i do agree that lives are in danger at any time someone under the influence is behind the wheel and they need to take full responsibility for their actions
