Yes it's a double whammy day today.
Although perhaps you're not as current with celebrity gossip as I am (although my daughter would disagree completely!!), surely you've heard about Lindsay Lohan, AKA Lilo, and her struggles with addiction issues, drunk driving, her 4, yes 4, stints in rehab, and her jail sentences.
As I was reading through my favorite gossip website (on my lunch break in case you're wondering!) which is www.laineygossip.com, there was a link to an article about Lindsay Lohan who wants to have a baby to keep herself sober. YIKES!
InTouch Weekly reports:
The star (Lilo) has confided to a pal that she’s determined to stay sober and thinks the best way for her to achieve that goal is to get pregnant. According to the pal, Lindsay, 24, hates being alone and thinks a baby would make the perfect companion. She’s seen what motherhood has done for former party girl Nicole Richie and thinks it can do the same for her. “She needs to be around someone nearly 24 hours a day,” the pal says. “She thinks having a baby could straighten out her life.”
And on today of all days. It's FASD Awareness Day. Those of us who work with, live with, care for and love people who have been exposed to alcohol in utero, and who struggle daily to support them, have zero tolerance for people like Lindsay.
I love reading my gossip site just for the distraction (and photos of Colin Farrell)and I know very few people who think the celebrity lifestyle is something we really want to achieve. Unfortunately, there are young women who look to Lindsay Lohan as a role model and want her lifestyle with endless shopping and parties.
Got a problem with alcohol? Drugs? Here's a solution - get pregnant. Because all your addiction issues will disappear the instant that baby starts growing inside you. Don't worry that your body isn't in any shape to carry a baby to full term, or that you may not even know you're pregnant for a few months anyways. Sure, then you can stop drinking. Right? You won't take any drugs once you know for sure you're pregnant. Right? You can stop anytime because you don't have a problem.
I hate Lindsay Lohan.
This was such an ugggllllyyyyy article. Wow! i can't stand her already, although i loved her as an actor i can't stand the fact that she is getting such a slap on the wrist for a drug usage. But then to say that a baby will help her clean up? Is her thinking like all messed up? And what if she doesn't kick her habits of partying and drug usage, what happens when she doesn't want to take care of her child anymore? people who think children will tame them of a lifestyle, are clueless. You got me so worked up reading that article. How about mature without a child first, so you don't have a messed up child.
