Lindsay Lohan's Career Takes A Back Seat To Partying
Last night, I caught the last 20 minutes of Just My Luck on cable as I was waiting for American Idol to come on. It was, as they say, time NOT well spent. I have always considered Lindsay a talented actress, but a bit immature and misguided. Well it seems that was a grave miscalculation on my part. She's a lot immature and terribly misguided.
She is right about one thing though, she should be allowed to blow off steam, go out and dance with her friends. Live it up a bit if she wishes. She's young and that's really what youth is for. By the time you are in your 30's people don't want to see you out partying every night, and truthfully, your body just doesn't recover like it used to.
This however doesn't mean that you can have your cake and eat it too.
Lindsay is living under some kind of delusional misconception that she can be an irresponsible younster and still be taken seriously as an actress. In the last year alone, Lohan has dropped out of four different film projects, and was publicly chided for her unethical behavior on the set of the ONE she did show up for. The latest drama involving Lindsay's faltering acting career is the Dylan Thomas film (The Best Time Of Our Lives) that she was set to star in with Keira Knightley - certainly a name anyone in the film industry would want the opportunity to star in a film with.
Say what you want about Keira's eating habits, she is respected for her acting. Let us not forget, Ms. Knightley also stars in the summer's most anticipated film, Pirates of The Carribean: At World's End, and who wouldn't want the opportunity to have their name associated with that kind of starpower?
Apparenlty not Sienna Miller. She cheerfully took Lindsay's place in the Dylan Thomas film after Lohan backed out at the last minute due to "contract changes." A brief recap: this is the fourth film Lohan has dropped out of. According to this article, all three of previous bailings were under dubious excuses, ranging from "too busy, recovering from rehab" (Woman Of No Importance with Anette Benning)" "not interested in projects with no big names " (Bill, directed by two up and coming director Bernie Goldmann and Meliss Wallack)" and she was dropped for a film penned after a Tennesee Williams story, The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond, for as of yet undisclosed reasons.
