At this point in her career, Lindsay Lohan might have enough star power to land a small film role — as with her upcoming turn in Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" — but it seems some in Hollywood have gotten cold feet about hiring the actress.

I predict porn within three years”

If she is not able to turn her life around, I see another Anna Nicole Smith or Marlyn Monroe here.
She is really heading for disaster.

"Sad considering she has talent if you saw Mean Girls of Parent Trap."

IMHO "Georgia Rule" was her best performance. Both funny and heartbreaking.

Maybe.

But I wouldn’t be surprised to see a long trip to rehab, conversion to Kabalism, followed by a run for Congress.

Just reflecting on the screwed-up state of things today.

The difference is Robert Downey, Jr. is a brilliant actor. That helps.

Growing up in showbiz is a very very bad idea. You have no concept of the real world.

There are many clean and sober people in the entertainment business.

Recovery resources abound.

He's talented as hell though.

Plus, he is a man. Women depreciate. Men just get distinguished. (;
