Lindsay Lohan is dead to me!

LAS VEGAS - JUNE 27:  Actress Lindsay Lohan ap...

I’ve tried to stay on her side. I’ve spent years standing in her corner. Through embarrassing scandal after embarrassing scandal, embarrassing hook up after embarrassing hook up, embarrassing movie after embarrassing movie, embarrassing record after embarrassing record. Just when I thought she was ready to pick up the pieces of her shattered career and glue them back together with a new role in the upcoming Linda Lovelace biopic, Lohan is breaking dishes again.

She’s in Cannes this week “promoting” Inferno, that Lovelace biopic, which would normally be a good thing, but it seems that the only thing she’s promoting is questionable behavior. And it didn’t start in Cannes. In the last week or so, she’s been hitting the clubs with gusto, coast to coast and abroad. She’s publicly brawled with Avril Lavigne in Los Angeles, thrown drinks at model  Jessica Stam in New York City, pulled rank with a member of the UK girl group Girls Aloud in Cannes, and (also in Cannes) picked at stale leftovers (that would be Dominic Cooper) after his girlfriend — and Lohan’s former Mean Girls costar — Amanda Seyfried decided that she really isn’t that into him after all.

For years I’ve been rooting for this underdog, hoping for a career resurrection, but now I just want her to go away. She’s due in L.A. court today for allegedly violating the terms her DUI-related probation. The catch is that she’s lost her passport and is frantically trying to replace it and make it back to L.A. in time for her court date.

May the U.S. Embassy and the international flight system not work in her favor, and this particular chapter in the ongoing Lindsay Lohan chronicles end with her in hand cuffs, tossed into the clink, and out of our sights and out of our minds for a very long time.

    Is “I’ve lost my passport” code for something? Hilton claims to have lost hers on the way to Cannes. Now this. I think “I’ve lost my passport” really means “I’ve rolled it up into cokestraws and threw them all away when the cops pulled us over for speeding and now I need to score one on the black market” or something.

    Pop some popcorn, crack a brew, and just sit back and watch the train-wreck. Some things in life can’t be taught; they can only be learned. And unfortunately, in a very hard way.

    Jeremy, something tells me you believe she will end up like Anna Nicole Smith. Of course if you did think that, you’d be in a very large club of like-minded people.

    Obviously we all hope she turns her life around, but as you point out in the examples above, there’s not much proof she’s in a hurry to do so.

    My passport was stolen in France, it took 2 hours at the embassy to replace it!

    About Me

    Ten Things About Me

    1. I was born in the U.S. Virgin Islands and moved to Florida when I was 4, but I've never been able to get rid of my Caribbean accent. When I was a kid and just wanted to fit in, I hated it. Now that I don't, I hope I never lose it. Not that anyone in Buenos Aires even notices it!

    2. I've been a writer and editor for People, Teen People, Us Weekly and Entertainment Weekly.

    3. My favorite city is London, and my favorite country is Italy. I hate Athens, Paris and Berlin.

    4. I once made Brandy's mother cry.

    5. I'm probably one of the few people on earth who can say I stood up a former Beatle. It was Ringo Starr, and I only did it because traffic through Central Park to the Upper East Side was so bad that I showed up to our interview 30 minutes late.

    6. My favorite band of all time is the Smiths. R.E.M. is second. The Cure is my third. I cried when Tammy Wynette, my favorite singer ever, died.

    7. "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand is my favorite book. I know it's cliché to say, but it changed my life -- not as a political or social manifesto, but as a personal one. What lessons did it teach me? Two: 1) To thine own self be true. 2) Just do it.

    8. "The Golden Girls" is my favorite TV show. I've seen every episode a billion times, but every time I watch one, I notice something I never noticed before.

    9. "Blue" is my favorite movie, and its star, Juliette Binoche is my favorite actress. When she won the Oscar for "The English Patient," all my friends called to congratulate me. By the way, I hated "The English Patient."

    10. At one point, I was doing so much on-air pop-culture commentary that when I walked into Mary J. Blige's hotel suite to interview her, she hugged me and exclaimed, "I've been seeing you all over the TV!" "Likewise!" I replied!
