Hollywood actress and model Lindsay Lohan could be blacklisted by the Indian government following her trip to the country last December when she falsely claimed she had rescued 40 child workers.
Her comments, which highlighted the plight of child labourers, ruffled feathers in India and alerted officials who discovered she had broken the country's visa rules by travelling as a tourist while working on a BBC documentary.
The Mean Girls star had arrived in India to film an expose of child labour and trafficking of women which was later broadcast on BBC3, but she provoked a row when she claimed to have personally rescued 40 children.
In a series of updates on the social networking site Twitter, she boasted of her role in a daring raid on a child labour sweatshop and claimed the experience had changed her life.
"Over 40 children saved so far ... Within one day's work ... This is what life is about ... Doing THIS is a life worth living!!!" she said.
She later contrasted the superficiality of celebrity life with the satisfaction of social activism.
"Focusing on celebrities and lies is so disconcerting, when we can be changing the world one child at a time ... hope everyone can see that," she said.

It has to be the family that surrounds them that keeps them stable. Lindsey is horribly messed up and it’s a shame, it never had to be that way.
The Ultimate Narcissist
This questionably talented young woman hasn’t had a hit movie of any kind in years and she is her own physical and emotional train wreck. Apparently no one, even her own family cares anything about her at all only as it pertains to their well-being and profit. As is often the sad reality of people like Ms. Lohan, she’ll either end up dead at her own hands or at the least washed up , forgotten about and alone.
Despite what I’ve posted about Ms. Lohan, I”D HIT IT!!! AND HIT IT AGAIN!!
Thank you for posting, I have been just worried sick about this. <:0/sarc/>
