Star Magazine has a slightly sad story about the continuingly tragic existence of Lindsay Lohan. Even though her mother denies it, I’m pretty sure Lindsay is in serious debt, and I just don’t see how or where she has any money coming in. So how does Lindsay live? How does she pay her rent and her utilities? How does she pay for all that rock she’s smoking? Star Magazine claims she’s been living off the proceeds of her cracked-out hoarding. She takes her designer clothes (that she was given, or that she stole) and she sells them to consignment shops:
How else is an out-of-work actress supposed to live like an A-lister? Lindsay Lohan – who is $600,000 in debt – has resorted to selling off the designer clothes, purses and jewelry she has received as freebies in order to keep up with her hard-partying (and shopping) lifestyle.
“Lindsay has her hangers-on take boxes full of clothes to L.A. consignment shops like Decades and Entre Nous,” says an insider. “She ends up getting only 20 percent of the retail value, but sill manages to pull in about $10,000 a month. That’s pretty good, considering Lindsay didn’t pay for any of this stuff in the first place!”

Yeah. By the way, did everyone see Lindsay and Dina on Entertainment Tonight last night? I watched a few minutes of it, but it was painful. Lindsay was really strung out, and Dina just… she’s just a horrible mother. At one point, Lindsay was sort of yelling at her mom for not taking care of a pair of boots, and it was just…ugh. If I spoke to my mother like that, she would smack me. But I have a good mother. Dina is not a good mother. The whole thing was about Lindsay and some organizing pro cleaning out Dina’s closet (because she’s a cracked out hoarder too), but ET did interview Lindsay and Dina (video here):
Lindsay Lohan and her mother Dina Lohan share an unbreakable bond, and for a special Mother’s Day treat, Lindsay is giving her mom a closet makeover! But first, the tabloid target sets the record straight with ET’s Samantha Harris about rumored drug and alcohol problems.
Asked if she has any problems with drugs, alcohol or prescription medication, Lindsay replies, “No, I don’t. I work. And if I go out with my friends, I’m 23 and I’m allowed to do that. I don’t go out when I’m working.”
Addressing recent tabloid photos of her falling in the street, Lindsay says, “I’m the most clumsy person in the world. I do trip a lot. I fall. I walk into walls sometimes.”
“When did I stop being okay?” asks the star. “I am fine. I am happy and I am working. And I’m good. And I’m surrounded by great friends now. You know, I have weeded out a lot of people in my life.”
“But everyone does that,” chimes in Dina. “That is like normal growth; she’s 23.”
“We have a good relationship,” says Lindsay about her mom. “We fight like friends do. She is a very strong woman. I’ve learned a lot. Not every mother has to read false stories about their daughter. It’s nice to know she has sat by me through all of that. She knows what is really happening in my life.”
“We are just very misunderstood,” adds Dina. “And, when I read it, it breaks my heart because it is not true. I am going to cry. I’m really going to cry. … She has the biggest heart of anyone on the planet.”
Of the bad press, Lindsay adds, “I don’t pay attention to it. … The only problem is that it distracts from me getting jobs, and that is when it hurts me. Especially when it is not true. … Everyone goes through ups and downs. I am not one to hide anything. I am an honest person. I take it for what it is. I am me.”
[From Entertainment Tonight]
Yes, that must be Lindsay’s biggest problem – other than her latent milkaholism – being “misunderstood.” And did anyone else understand this nonsense: “The only problem is that it distracts from me getting jobs, and that is when it hurts me. Especially when it is not true.” So when it’s true, it still hurts her and distracts her? Ugh. And when is Dina going to stop with the whole “everyone is like this as 23” bullsh-t?

What a bunch of losers…Dina your 15 minutes of fame is up beotch…LiLo you need help, serious help!!!
She is clearly using something and her mother is an enabler. It sucks and it takes a lot of balls to call someone out that you love. Man up Dina. But let’s just say for sake of arguement she isn’t using- she is still self destructing. I fond it interesting that she is always using the ” I’m working!” line or ” when I work I don’t go out” she’s ALWAYS partying! Never working! Man up Lindsay!
Dina doing interviews with Linds saying she is fine and doesn’t have a problem is the absolute worst parenting in the world!
Why doesn’t Dina just shove the crack down Lindsay and then sit up and say ‘she’s absolutely fine’!
FFS – the woman is disgusting and unfortunately with a mother like this – who stands a chance?!
Well now we know where Lindsay got her terrible housekeeping habits. I would have been mortified to let a camera crew into my home in that condition!
And guess what? When you are an addict who has been in rehab 3 times and are under probation for 2 DUIs, you are not “Allowed” to go out partying with your friends. I don’t care who you are or how old you are. Addicts who want to get better don’t put themselves in that situation.
Two generations of denial, right here.
I don’t care how much free stuff she’s received, it’s gonna run out sooner or later. Tick-tock, Lindsay, tick-tock.
Ugh ok, when you’ve been partying like this since you were 18, it’s NOT normal to be like that at 23 still. The denial and lying and lack of responsibility is keeping her a spoiled child.
Also, unrelated but in that video, come on is Samantha Harris the worst interviewer ever or what? She asks Lindsay “Do you have a problem with alcohol, drugs, etc” AS IF SHE WOULD EVER SAY anything other than “NO.” I hated her when she was cohosting DWTS too.
I want to slap them both in the face with a handful of the “baby powder” that Lindsay had on her feet that day.
You’d think somebody that self-admittedly is the clumsiest person in the world and walking into walls and tripping constantly would forego the four-inch platform shoes. Dumbass.
“we fight like friends” ???? you’re mom is your mom and not your friend this is the issue. Dina cant face the fact that she is older than her daughter and instead of living the life of a 23 year old she should be living the life of a mother who sets rules and disciplines her children instead of partying with them. She’s a pathetic hag trying desperately to relive her teenage years – she’s disgusting
DELUSIONAL.
“I don’t go out when I’m working” Well, she doesn’t ever work, so no wonder it’s 24/7 partying! She always says she working, but on what? Shopping and clubbing aren’t work.
She has been using the same excuse for years now, that she’s ____ age and is allowed to go out with her friends. She was saying that when all the DUI and drug stuff happened too. Apparently she thinks being a drunken crackhead = going out with friends.
They all belong in jail, rehab, or a deserted island.
“we fight like friends”. For f*ck’s sake, Dinasaurus. Be a MOTHER already.
Dina reminds of Rachel McAdam’s mom in “Mean Girls”. Coincidence?
Those people aren’t your friends Lindsay, they are enablers and hangers on.
Dina needs to start being a mother and laying down the law. Even if you have to make unpopular decisions, just do it already. Do whatever it takes to get between your child and drugs. Stop being a party pal and start being a mother.
I know not everyone is the same, but I had a full-time career and bought a house at 23. Just sayin’. I still partied, but not on a regular basis. Sure, there were still times I was coming home at 5 am, but that was on Saturdays, so it totally does’t count. 😉
And, you know what, there are tons of 23-year-olds who don’t party at all, Dina. GAH!
Saw parts of this interview and it was immediately apparent that Dina and Lindsay were doing the same old song and dance of blaming EVERYONE ELSE for Lindsay’s issues. Lindsay said something to the effect of “people build you up to bring you down.” Dear girl, no one but YOU is bringing you down.
@ gg: LOL, I was thinking the SAME thing! A rocket scientist she is not… If you’re clumsy and prone to falling, lower heels just might be, I dunno, a better option. DUH!
wow…just had a chance to watch the video, and DELUSIONAL doesn’t even cover it.
her eyes tell all…jumping all over the place when asked “do you have a problem with…” she got SO defensive with the whole “I’m allowed to do that” bit. lindz, the words may be saying “no problem” but your tone and body language say different. the whole “methinks thou does protest too much” applies here.
“distracts me from getting jobs”? WTF? it’s more like PREVENTS you from getting a job, because your potential employers don’t want a partying drug addict as an employee.
and I love how in one breath she says it “distracts” her, and in the next she says that they don’t pay attention to it…
but the best part is when she tells her mother to “take responsibility” for her actions. like saying that it’s not your cocaine because they’re someone else’s pants, Lindz?
no wonder she’s so delusional…her mother taught her well.
At 23, I was married and had a child. I partied at 29 and 30, and it was freakin’ awesome! And then it was out of my system. I’ll take my life over hers any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
“But everyone does that,” chimes in Dina. “That is like normal growth; she’s 23.”
She’s been saying that for years and I’m pretty sure she’ll keep saying that. I’ll bet movie producers think she’s way overexposed and I’ll even bet they’ve tried to tell her that and to lay low and I’ll bet further that Linds and her mum just ignore them and go, “but she’s young!” etc. Worst management of a life and career EVER, by both Lindsey and her mum. It’s mind-boggling how they ALWAYS justify everything and NEVER seem to think maybe they should use a different approach to managing L’s career. I mean, she HAS no career. Now she’s just flailing. Ug.
Watch the video – when a persons eyes go to the left they are lying. Lindsay Lohan looks left a few times but when she says, “I am an honest person,” her eyes go left. I wish she would get the help and support she needs. I don’t want to see her not gets jobs anymore. Get Robert Downey Jr. to help!
most people i know are done acting like that by the time they turn legal. just saying
Doesn’t the court ever drug test her?
Um, I partied in college and by 23, I was in law school working my butt off. Just saying, Dina.
“When did I stop being okay?” asks the star.
You’ve never been okay.
“I am fine. I am happy and I am working”
Fine? at least you don’t look fine. Happy? ok, partying might make you happy. BUT WORKING? ON WHAT?
“And I’m good. And I’m surrounded by great friends now. You know, I have weeded out a lot of people in my life.”
They’re not your friends.
Anyway, what do i know?
@Deb —
No kidding! Unfortunately, it’s no secret that there’s law & celebrity law.
It explains Charlie Sheen.
She’s clumsy? I thought she said she was being pushed by the paps? She’ll run out of money soon & then maybe that will open her eyes.
Damn Kaiser! You probably didn’t mean to do this, but I now feel sorry for Lindsay. That bottom picture just broke my heart– she looks 70 years old about the face. I’m going to refrain from anymore Lindsay bashing, b/c I’m actually kinda scared she’s going to end up dead soon. Before, I was just having fun looking at the pics of her trashed (they’re still hilarious), and laughing at the blogs about her. But if she doesn’t go to jail for not going to DUI class, looking at that picture, we’re all going to be saying “Damn, she was only 24” real soon. 🙁
She’s clumsy BECAUSE she smokes crack.
@Camai: Yeah that was my favorite quote too. “when did I stop being ok?” Oh I don’t know probably around the age of 16…being in 3 rehabs and getting 2 DUI’s does not exactly qualify as “OK” sorry Linds!
Gross – she has no life energy left to rehabilitate. Just hope they don’t take the little Lohan down in their cycle of self-abuse and denial…she doesn’t even have a career to spiral down yet.

AGE IS NOT AN EXCUSE!!!
@ GatsbyGal
I think CLUMSY is CODE for CRACK!
I can see it now, when the news wires announce Lindsay’s death from some kind of overdose, every station on the planet will be playing a loop of Dina Lohan’s constant denials that anything is wrong with her kid.
I actually feel sorry for this girl-she was so talented and shes been put out to work since she was a kid by her horrendous parents-she never had a chance….
Theres a horrible sad story over at
IDontLikeyouinthatway.com about how Paris Hilton(a useless piece of trash) and some drug dealer whose a friend of Wonkys (I thought Wonky told us all she didnt do drugs??) were hounding Lindsay at some private party in the Hollywood Hills and it made me go cold-talk about a lynch mentality…
She needs help but she has to be in place to accept it first-hopefully shell stay alive long enough for that to happen.
Why does the first photo remind me of Elvis?
This interview is so full of lies……they are both in denial!
I love how she she says that the attention distracts people from giving her jobs.
No, trick! The fact that you have been nothing less than unprofessional in all your other medium of jobs: Club Opening, being on the arm of some rich European for his gala, showing up, designing (snicker), is what prevents you from getting jobs.
I just don’t understand….as mammals, are we not supposed to make sure that our young are protected and doing everything we can to make sure they’re healthy? How can Dina look at Lindsay and see nothing wrong? I mean, aside from the tapes Michael Lohan released of Dina crying about Lindsay, when is she going to step up?!
I’ve seen crackwhores that look better than her, seriously.
Can’t the government step in on this?
I’m really starting to feel really really sorry for Lindsay, she is another human being and she’s obviously in a lot of pain.
