Back in April, Dr. Drew took Lindsay Lohan to task on Facebook, writing: “If she were my daughter, I would pack her car full with illegal substances, send her on her way, call the police, and make sure she was arrested. I would make sure she was not allowed to get out of jail. I would then go to the judge and make sure she was ordered to a minimum of a three year sobriety program.” He later attempted to clarify, telling Radar, “I absolutely wish no harm to her, but I just have a feeling that something awful is going to happen to her, like she is going to lose a limb.” Lindsay Lohan ran to the press immediately and pulled her “I’m just a poor, milkaholic child” act and said: “He’s a quack and a sell-out.” She’s said other sh-t about him too, and I kind of don’t blame her. I would avoid Dr. Drew too, and he’s never even tried to professionally diagnosis me from photos.
So, anyway, Dr. Drew and Lindsay were both in attendance at the MTV Movie Awards, and it looks like Dr. Drew wanted to apologize to Linds after their war of words. Lindsay wasn’t having it, though. According to Us Weekly, she changed her seat so she would be further away from him:
Lindsay Lohan avoided a run-in with Dr. Drew Pinsky Sunday at the MTV Movie Awards.
The 23-year-old actress — who wore a Pamella Roland beaded halter jumpsuit to hide her SCRAM anklet — was originally seated near the addiction specialist, who angered her after publicly speculating about her drug use. (“He’s such a loser,” she said in April. “He’s not a real doctor, he’s a celebrity doctor.”)
When she realized how close they’d be, she moved her seat.
Dr. Drew said he ended up going to the KROQ Weenie Roast concert in L.A. Saturday in hopes of seeing the actress. She ended up being a no-show.
“I was going to reach out to her and say hi and apologize if indeed I caused her any distress; that was never my intention,” he told The Dish Rag. “The stuff that seemed to get her most upset was things that I would say speculating what I would do if she was my daughter.”

Ugh, I just want to smack Dr. Drew. You don’t have to stalk the crackhead to apologize to her publicly. Write up a genuine-sounding press release and give it to the media. It’s that simple, drama queen. What bothers me is that Dr. Drew totally had a good point, you just had to look for it through the miles of bullsh-t, ego, and famewhoring. Lindsay was and is a mess, a disaster, and it’s obvious to everyone. But when Dr. Drew uses his “Doctor” title to diagnose someone, and to go out of his way to make the whole thing even more of a public spectacle, he becomes just as trashy as the Lohans of the world.

Never thought I’d ever say this EVER, bit Linds is right. Dr Drew is a quack and a sell-out (and a famewhore). She’s actually wise to avoid him.
What the hell was she even doing at the MTV Awards? What was he even doing there, for that matter?!
Jazz – Dr. Drew at least has a show on VH1 (or what ever channel celebrity trainwreck rehab is on)…as for Lohan, I guess professional famewhore gets you into the MTV awards. Actually I guess that applies to both of them. Never mind – they should be called the MTV famewhore awards.
But Dr. Drew IS a “REAL” medical Dr with a PhD in Internal Medicine and Calling that Mother F*cking stupid bi*tch OUT! Yea, he is a fame whore, but at least he is adding something to society and getting some people sober along the way. What the hell has this crack whore ever done for society?
Isn’t that like step 3 of the 12 step program or something? Anyways, her dress really accentuates her augmented chest pancakes!
Jazz, I was thinking the same thing! Neither one of them had any business being there.
He is a famewhore, and it’s a shame, because he really is knowledgeable and could probably be doing a lot of good for people, but he’s more interested in fame. Gross.
Yea I think he is losing a little credibility. That statement he made could get people in trouble if they actually took his crazy advice. Say you do wanna frame your own child for drug possession so they are forced to get help and then you go try and buy some stuff but instead get busted by the cops undercover sting investigation to crack down on drug trafficking or whatever then what are you supposed to do? I am glad Linds avoided him, because I think she would have caused a scene one and two he is a little nuts, going somewhere like concert to apologize to her is crazy,
Neither of them had any reason to be at the MTV movie awards. Have either of them done any movies lately? Um, no. I like Dr. Drew, but I don’t understand what he’s about anymore. Celebrity Rehab doesn’t seem to actually help anyone. Seems like everyone who goes through there comes out and uses again. Not that that’s his fault necessarily, but it must not be that great of a program.
Has Dr. Drew sold out…probably. However, he is a real Dr. and addiction specialist. As a mental health clinician it is very difficult to watch someone spiraling so out of control when it is your speciality and you know that LL will probably die without any real intervention. At least Dr. Drew does actually help people like Joseph said above.
Dr. Drew also made a ridiculous diagnosis of Sandra Bullock as a “love addict” which he eagerly gave to the press at the time. This was in contrast to Elin Woods who he believed had a legitimate bond with her husband because they had biological children together. *snort*
I noticed MTV cut to a reaction shot of Dr. Drew in the audience while Sandra gave her acceptance speech. I wonder if he attempted to apologize to her, too.
WHY OH WHY CAN’T BLOHAN STAY HOME FOR ONCE??!! Why does she keep making us have to see her? (And her floppy boobs.)
The MTV Movie Awards isn’t the Oscars…its a mix of A-listers and hacks, people with 15 mins of fame and stuff like that. MTV is in the now…not the later. So Linds being there isn’t all the shocking. Linds also hosted this show once upon time, I think its perfectly fine she go, she goes to everything else.
They’re both ridiculous fame-whores, but Dr. Drew was probably there because he does the after-program for 16 and Pregnant, which is an MTV show. As far as Blohan, I don’t know what she was doing there, but she didn’t belong at Cannes either.
@ Kevin – LOL at the “augmented chest pancakes”!
At least Dr. Drew isn’t ORANGE!
Dear Lindsay, it’s called a bra. Also, she seems really vindictive and immature about stuff like this. Assuming the guy really wanted to apologize, she could have just gracefully accepted it and not acted like a tenth-grader on her period. She’s always doing this kind of shit, which leads to stories of her trying to get people kicked out of clubs and throwing drinks. Whats worse is that her obnoxiousness gets rewarded with more attention.
Dang I’m sorry – this girl is just a crack whore. I hate saying it, afterall she WAS an attractive young girl and talented actress. Shit some people just don’t realize how lucky they are.
Don’t hate me.. but Lohan looks pretty here (face) not digging the outfit.
why was she there?? She isn’t a star anymore, but I guess they let paris hilton in, who also doesnt have a talented bone in her body so I guess anyone coulda gotten in
Diagnose is the verb, diagnosis is a noun.
People like Hilton and Lohan always are at these events, it’s nothing new and it is relevant in this context.
Anyway, I really wish Drew would just stay on his programs and stfu elsewhere if he’s not saying something positive.
And second, somebody please show LL how to pluck her eyebrows and put on a bra! Her implants always hanging down like that is making them sag to her waist.
And is it just me, or do these beaded outfits look like they must hurt and get stuck in your skin when you sit down on them?
but Kaiser! if he did try to diagnose you professionally from photos, what would the diagnosis likely be????
what about your readership? (insert cleverly proposed medical diagnosis here that does not involve narcissism or valtrex.)
I use to really appreciate Dr. Drew back when he was on love-line. He really did become a sell out and less credible when he started doing celebrity rehab. Now he is always giving his input on celebs, and I don’t blame her for having none of it, since he seems to only care about the fame , press, and publicity now.
LMAO@Sumodo1
That outfit she wore was seriously the ugliest thing I have ever seen!
Whatever one may think of how he courts the press, not only is Drew Pinsky a licensed physician, he teaches at USC’s medical school. He needs to stop speculating about the problems of celebrities, even if invited to do so, however.
Her breast sure look older than 23.
@ Joseph
You can’t have a PhD in internal medicine. I think you mean he has an M.D., and did his residency in internal medicine.
Either way, he effing sucks.
he needs to stop offering a “diagnosis” on every person in LA. she needs to stop going out and get some sleep.
God, those lips.
I wish she would scrub that horrible fake tan off. Embrace your ‘gingerness’ Linds!
Dr. Drew lost all credibility when he started Celebrity Rehab.I believe it’s true that filming was postponed because they couldn’t get big names. I know that most people on the show are there for the celebrity but for those actually wanting help who being turned away because they aren’t big stars is lame. I doubt he wanted to see Lindsay to apologize. More than likely trying to get her on his show or to get a story to pass on to the media.
Dr. Drew sounds like he has a full on addiction to Lindsay. He’s weird and gross.
How does an degree in internal medicine make him qualified to psychoanalyze ANYONE?
Sooner or later the truth will emerge that his center(s) have a very poor success and very high relapse rate, like almost all discredited and now obsolete 12-step approaches. The overall success rate of 12-step programs for AA and some other substance abuse problems is anywhere from 2% to 8% depending on whose figures you trust.
Successful programs have long since abandoned the 12-step approach, but the myth that it is the only path out of addiction or abuse persists because of persistent marketing and stereotypes in popular culture.
The 12-step treatment industry is exceptionally profitable, so why would anyone expose the evidence that it fails almost everyone?
To #4: FYI, it is not possible to get a Ph.D. in Internal Medicine.
Her face looks really puffy.
@sara: My cousin (a recovering drug addict and alcoholic) owns and runs a very successful rehab out here in the OC. He was talking about naming buildings and rooms after recovered employees and benefactors who had died, but realized very early on that they would never have enough rooms to dedicate to those who recovered, relapsed and died from it.
They utilize the 12 step program. It is a very close minded system – very nearly cultish. I honestly believe at this point it sometimes keeps people from getting the help they actually need.
P.S. – Lindsay, your teeth look nasty. While your getting your wisdom’s pulled (*wink wink*) why don’t get some caps on those meth eroded front teeth?
Are we sure she had implants? I can’t keep track. I mean, not to be TMI, but they fall just like mine, and that looks like natural boobs to me.
The dress isn’t flattering to an unsupported large bust, and I would never swing free in a top like that, but they don’t look fake.
He was a douche to say those things in public about her. Just because you’re right doesn’t mean you should just blab it to the whole world like that, and shouldn’t he know that her reaction would be defiance and heightened denial rather than humble acceptance of what he said?
C’mon!
Why are people trash talking this guys? He is actaully trying to help people? Did I miss something? Isn’t he just saying what we are all saying in here? That she has a drug problem?
