Is Lindsay Lohan harmful to little sister Ali?

lohans haute bothered 050509

Ali Lohan sure is starting to look a lot more like her older sister. And that’s not a good thing. The two have been spending tons of time together during Lohan’s post-breakup comeback tour. They were joined at the hip in L.A. two weeks ago and were often spotted out shopping. Then they went to Maui with a bunch of Lindsay’s friends last week. And last night Ali was photographed with Lindsay at the Teen.com and LG Haute & Bothered launch party in West Hollywood.

Lindsay looked absolutely wasted – even for her. There’s no doubt she’s off the wagon. She was leering at her poor little sister and even making kissing faces at her. And I can’t help but ask – when the hell does Ali Lohan go to school? She’s 15. Lindsay may need Ali, but Ali sure as hell doesn’t need Lindsay. She’s toxic, and can only harm her sister.

Ali Lohan may score a lot of perks thanks to big sis Lindsay – think nights out in Hollywood hotspots, Beverly Hills shopping sprees and the recent trip to Hawaii where the pair wore teensy bikinis and were photographed constantly. Unfortunately, one thing the 15-year-old starlet isn’t getting from Lindsay is a good role model who’s making positive life choices. Experts say the sibling relationship could actually be harmful to Ali’s mental health.

“If you have an older child who is breaking a lot of the rules and engaging in dangerous and risky behavior, this can have a negative impact on the younger child,” said Dr. Eva Ritvo, psychiatrist and vice chair of psychiatry at the University of Miami School of Medicine. “Adolescents are trying to break away from their family and they don’t always make the best choices. They’re looking for role models other than their parents, and often turn to peers and older sisters, who can have a very powerful influence on the younger child,” she said.

Impressionable Ali can hardly help but notice Lindsay’s partying, stints in and out of rehab, and her skin-and-bones appearance. But how she reacts to those things could go one of two directions, experts say. Some teens with out of control older sibs may copy them, while others fall into the role of trying to protect loved ones from the person. “You either try to outdo or you become a caretaker,” says Dr. Keith Ablow, psychiatrist and Fox News contributor, who founded the website www.LivingtheTruth.com.

“The course Ali is taking appears to be more in the direction of copying than in shrinking from the cameras and the revelry,” he said.

Obviously all the experts are speaking in generalities, but it doesn’t seem like Ali’s got much of a chance of being an exception to the rule. She obviously has no parental supervision. What, Dina Lohan’s not looking out for everyone’s well-being like the mother hen we all know her to be? My jaw dropped too. But Ali’s looking more and more skanky every day, and Lindsay’s looking drunker and drunker. This whole shizz is spinning out of control, and if someone doesn’t do something quickly, Lindsay’s going to take Ali right down with her.

Here are Lindsay and Ali at the Teen.com and LG introduce the Haute & Bothered launch party at the Sunset Tower in West Hollywood last night. Images thanks to WENN.com .

    Graiglist sister escort ad
    Ali is 15 ( thou she looks 40 ) should’nt she be in school?

  4. HEB says:

    When she was on that E! show I thought she wanted the attention and the lifestyle of Lindsay…but now that she’s been hanging out with her alot and now really has to deal with the paparazzi its becoming obvious that she hates it…maybe she’ll be able to avoid her own trainwreck.

  5. ash says:

    “Who needs to go to school when I can hang out with my wasted sister every day! She’s all the tutoring I need!” The future these 2 will have…

  6. kiki says:

    future porn stars?

  7. the original kate says:

    i see “grey gardens” in their future.

  8. jennifer says:

    OK someone needs to explain this to me, and I’m being completely sincere – the very last picture, where she’s biting her nail (I’m assuming) and squinting like a maniac – she’s been doing that a lot lately. Even SHE must be aware enough to know that’s not a “sexy” look, right? So is it drugs? I mean, I KNOW it’s drugs in that I know she’s a drug addict, but that particular “pose”, it’s been CONSTANT lately – is it a “I can’t wait to get away from the cameras for a bump” thing? Or a griding her teeth thing? Or is she seriously so out of it she thinks it’s a sexy pose? SERIOUSLY WHAT IS WITH THAT it’s driving me nuts LOL

  9. kiki says:

    # 8
    shes passing gas
    so she bites down on the finger to lessen the discomfort

  10. Obvious says:

    LiLo needs a conservatorship, and Ali needs a guardian.

    Requirement-must not be related in anyway to them.

    Must be independently wealthy(no pushing them into things for money)

  11. Liz says:

    The photos are disturbing. Something major needs to happen and quickly or she is going to die, it’s that serious I think.

  12. Ggirl says:

    LL has been sporting these semi deranged expressions for a while now. The drugs have sucked the spirit right out of this chick. If she loves the attention, why can’t she see how disturbing her own expressions are in photos?

  13. Sauronsarmy says:

    jennifer: Maybe shes just hungry?

  14. Bodhi says:

    the answer to that quesion is yes, yes she is

  15. The Lohans only look old when they try to get made up.

    Dina is about to lose another one!

    Oh well…

  16. Shona says:

    On the Lohan’s reality show (yes, I watched..), there was a good deal about Ali being bullied in school and over the phone. It was because of who her sister is of course. She was begging Dina to allow her be homeschooled, so, I don’t know what became of that…
    Obviously if she’s hanging around with Lindsey like a new best friend and going off to Maui, she’s not having any serious study time. The poor girl is convinced that in her future is a singing career.

  17. Hieronymus Grexx says:

    her little sister, her mom, her dad, strangers on the street, puppy dogs…..

  18. Because I Say So says:

    This chick doesn’t hate the attention! If she did, she’s presumably aware enough to stay out of sight. 3 famewhores in the family clearly aren’t enough for the Lohans

  19. Lindsay doesn’t have any money… so what would a conservatorship do, exactly?

  20. SixxKitty says:

    Why isn’t LiLo committed yet? Why is no-one (HELLO DINA!) giving a flying kahuna-burger about Ali…
    What I wouldn’t give for 5 mins alone in a room with Shrew-Mother Lohan, and I can’t strand LiLo, so go figure…

  21. Aussie says:

    Cripes, it’s hard to actually decide which one is more digusting?
    The white trash obvious Yank Junkie, or the ugly lil’ sista with the 35 year old head?
    Mummy say’s pass the hooch n stop arguing!

  22. cherryblossom says:

    Oh my…Papa Spears where are you when we need you!?!?!
    I’m pretty certain Ali is “homeschooled” now.

  23. It’s an adequate product. I notice that I gained auxiliary vim. But what sucks is, Slang geezer night I forgot virtually the same as take the pills & the next Archaic cock crow, I felt germane (to) I had a blast!
