Lindsay Lohan really is wasting away. People started whispering about her weight 15 or 20 pounds ago, and in the last two or three weeks the actress has lost significantly more weight. Earlier this week shocking photos came out of Lohan in a long, flowing dress, in which you can count her ribs. Fox’s Pop Tarts talked to doctors who estimate that Lohan, at 5’5, should weigh between 120 – 130 lbs, but is likely clocking in at just 95. That Olsen twin territory – and Lindsay’s got four inches on them.
Lindsay Lohan’s fragile frame has been a cause of concern for quite some time now, however photographs of the actress shopping in Los Angeles this week seem to have taken the term “scary skinny” to whole new level. Donning a low-cut strapless dress, the 22-year-old flashed a little skin … and a lot of bone.
According to Dr. Kent Holtorf, Director of the Holtorf Medical Group in Los Angeles (who does not treat Lohan) the 5’5” starlet weighs around 95-100lbs with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 16. But in order to be considered “healthy” she should be at least 113-149lbs with a BMI of 18-25.
“There are signs of muscle wastage, clearly her bones are protruding and she looks quite rigid,” Holtorf told Tarts. “She looks like skin and bones at this point, Lindsay clearly looks malnourished and unhealthy for her frame.” Hollywood clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, Dr. James E. Walton, agreed that Lohan is “floating at 100 pounds” and is setting a bad example to young girls who look up to the “Mean Girls” actress.
“She seems to have no reserves, a little fat is very good because it gives us a reserve to fight off illness and repair injuries,” Walton explained. ” It has to be affecting her energy level a bit. It also cushions us against injuries, those low fat levels indicate a possible vitamin and mineral deficiency and can throw off proper hormone balances. She should weigh between 120 and 130 for healthy weight at her height … Ok, for Hollywood, no lighter than 115 for her height. But that’s only for Hollywood and the camera.”
A rep for Lohan did not respond for comment.

A while ago Kaiser mentioned that she hates it when doctors who’ve never treated a celebrity publicly diagnose them with something – and I completely agree. But in Lindsay’s case, it doesn’t seem that hard for a doctor to approximate her weight if he knows her height and can look at pictures of her. The way she has shrunk over the last few months is incredibly disturbing – but what’s more upsetting is that no one has helped her. Dina Lohan kept making ridiculous excuses about how Lindsay was stressed and she told her to eat more McDonalds. No quarter pounder is going to help LiLo’s weight at this point – unless she’s standing on a scale with a hundred of them.
Obviously this is way beyond the point of “just stress.” Lindsay might have an eating disorder; but it’s just as likely she’s got a drug problem. Probably more likely. She keeps talking about how she wants to get her career back on track but studios are afraid to work with her because of her past and all the bad rumors they’re hearing. Frankly, I’d bet their trepidation comes just as much from Lohan’s physical appearance. They know something’s wrong with her, whether it’s a lack of food or an excess of drugs. Either one, coupled with her history, is going to keep her from working.

Who cares? Really?
If this moron had actually established herself as a serious actor and got herself some serious credentials under her belt prior to becoming nothing but tabloid fodder, people MIGHT CARE. Having people speculate on her many malfunctions is now her official career. Not exactly a big accomplishment.
Pamela Anderson has managed to create her own identity, tons of fans, and actually a legacy, based on nothing but a giant pair of tits and skimpy clothes. La Lohan is well beneath Pammie on the Hollywood food chain.
Um, it doesn’t take a doctor to know she’s unhealthy and looks like shit. Besides her bones sticking out all over the place, look how dry and stringy her hair is. Look at the dark, sunken circles around her eyes. Classic signs of malnutrition.
It’s hard to feel bad for her though, because she’s always been such an attention whore that part of me thinks she’s doing it on purpose just so people will talk about her- what else is there pertaining to her to speak of? Her career’s been stagnating for quite some time now.
Ditto Boomchaka. All I’m seeing is attention-seeking. No career, no career prospects, no relationship, all she’s got left to attract press attention is her skinny little self. And look! It’s working! She’s got everyone just where she wants them – all focused on her.
95 pounds? yeah her boobs are 95 pounds. Im shocked she’s still got’em.
Sport a bra there linz.
Ditto Boom & Geronimo. I really DO feel bad for her, but at this point everything she does is for attention
i rilllyyyy pity her….
If she didn’t want people to speculate about her weight why on earth would she wear an outfit that exposes her entire back and her ribcage. People I have known with eating disorders were always very careful to wear clothing that concealed their body frame. To me, it seems she seeks out the attention, which isn’t to discount that she obviously is sick and needs help. I just feel that she thrives on all of the speculation and attention, it doesn’t matter how she gets it. What a mess…and a very sad waste of talent.
I can’t even begin to wonder how damaging it would have been to grow up under the influence of her two selfish, irresponsible parents. Couple that with fame at an early age, with NO supervision or or healthy support. Add a pinch of a lack of an education and A few bad choices…and you end up spiraling out of control, not knowing who you truly are as a person, no sense of self-worth. NOW add all the gossip, innuendo, and a whole world talking about you and hating you…and be in your twenties. I think that although Lindsey make be a grown up in years, emotionally she is just a hurting child. I wish someone would just wrap their arms around her and help her to heal…through massive therapy, drug rehab, and what ever else she needs. It feels pathetic and small to kick her now…she is so beyond stability.
THANK YOU grisgris!! My point exactly. You never saw Tracy Gold or Karen Carpenter dressed like this. Lindsay WANTS ATTENTION!!
Ooohhh, Lindsay and her sideboob. Classic. Hopefully she can get some kind of help because she obviously has an eating disorder.
wait – her mother claims she tried to help by telling lindsay to eat at mc donalds? yeah, because they are known worldwide for their healthy meals. hey dina – how about taking your skeletor daughter to a nutritionist? what a dipshit.
She loves when the media talks about her so the weight thing just gives them more to talk about. Some of these media sites are so inconsistent – first they blog about how “scary skinny” she is and then later on they comment on how “great” she looks. Which is it?
And by the way – she is eating in the picture above. Just sad that it’s her own fingers.
“…and is setting a bad example to young girls who look up to the “Mean Girls” actress.” Is there anyone left that would actually look up to her?
She just wants her name in people’s mouths.
I’m sure she’s going through a very difficult time emotionally and she needs love and support – but at the end of the day her cokey brain is twitching with all sorts of ideas to land herself more press coverage, without actually having to go through the bother of working.
Why be famous when you can be infamous?
“Why be famous when you can be infamous?”
exactly…twice the fame and half the work.
At this rate she’ll be dead by Christmas.
I sincerely hope I’m wrong and that she gets the help she so obviously needs.
LL obviously has serious emotional issues, has a vile mother & father, and just got dumped by Sam. All these factors combined definitely will cause a relapse of her drug & alcohol addiction. I feel compassion for LL, because she is obviously in deep emotional pain. Ridiculing LL is pointless.
