Mindless little twits like Lohan and Britney Spears, et al., have all the medical and psychological help they need at their disposal, but they care so little about the immense GIFTS they have been given, they keep carrying on like self-centered little jerks. It's infuriating.
Very well said! Those jagoffs irritate the holy hell out of me, especially Lohan. She continously tries to garner public symapthy for being a complete jackass and acts like her brand of suffering is just the very worst. Why everyone keeps saying she's talented is beyond me. She was a decent child actress, but that talent never transitioned to adulthood IMHO.
As for Lila, I just finished watching one of her last films "She Shoulda Said No!", and she was pretty good in it. It's complete schlock of course, but you could tell she had talent. Aside from that, she was an absoulte knockout. It's really too bad the double standard of Hollywood back in the day totally ruined her career.
