Is Lindsay Lohan getting her life back on track?

All right, so it looks like Lindsay Lohan might be back to the point where her legal woes are almost behind her and she is hopefully staying as far away from drugs and alcohol as she possibly can, as evidenced by her latest probation hearing where Judge Stephanie Sautner praised LiLo for finally cleaning up her act (*knocks on wood*). TMZ reports:

Lindsay Lohan just got yet another rave review from Judge Stephanie Sautner during her probation progress report hearing this AM — as Sautner proudly announced, “You’re in the home stretch!” The judge was impressed — that for the 3rd time in a row, Lindsay completed her required community service and therapy sessions. Sautner gushed, “You seem to be getting your life back on track.”

Lindsay has ONE MORE progress hearing set for March 29th — by which date she must complete her final 14 days of community service at the L.A. County morgue, and 5 more therapy sessions. If she stays on track, Lindsay will be placed on informal probation, meaning all she has to do is obey all laws.

Look, we’ve hammered Lindsay for being unprofessional and irresponsible in the past, but ultimately, we’re not praying for her to fail. We want to see Lindsay back on her feet, because really, no one wants to actually see someone suffer. Did we call out her shit in the past? Of course, but there’s a difference between calling for someone’s failure, and watching someone act like a nutjob and go “hey, that’s kinda messed up”. If she’s actually serious about addressing her behavior and the reason behind it, good for her. That being said, we’re not going to coddle her if she screws up again. Lock that shit down, LiLo.

Lindsay Lohan will be playing Liz Taylor!

Because Hollywood is this big land of moral subjectivity where doing bad things is bad unless you can sell something in which case we all need to forgive you, Lindsay Lohan has reportedly won the role of Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor in a new Lifetime Original Movie (once again: what a comeback) but only with the caveat that she stay on the right side of the law. Or, failing that since this is LiLo we’re talking about, if Lindsay can just shuffle her shoes and look all sad when they arrest her. Awwwww, that little freckled scamp, we just can’t stay mad at her! Access Hollywood reports:

Lindsay Lohan has more than just her upcoming hosting gig on Saturday Night Live to celebrate – she’s scored the role of Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime TV movie, Liz and Dick, a source tells Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush. But, there is one legal-related caveat: Lindsay needs to stay on the right side of court. According to the source, if Lohan continues to stick to the judge’s orders, as she has been doing, she will be playing the Cleopatra beauty in the Lifetime made-for-TV film about the late actress.

Mind you, this is Lindsay we’re talking about, who in the time it takes for me to type this out, can drink through a jug of moonshine, light her fart on fire, then run her car through the front door of an orphanage. She practically has her own bed set up in the California court. “Morning, judge! How are the kids? Hey, has anyone seen my box of Lucky Charms? I swear to God, if the bailiff ate all the marshmallows out of the box again, I will shit right here on the floor … oh, sorry, go on with your rape trial. Just pretend I’m not here.”

Lindsay Lohan is hosting SNL on March 3rd

So if you missed this week’s episode of Saturday Night Live, go watch it right now on Hulu or something because it was probably one of the best episodes in a while. I’m still walking around dreamily cooing. “No, brother West; it was an act of whimsy.” Killer shit. Anyway, apparently Lorne Michaels wanted to just tank all the good will he built up with Maya Rudolph by having Lindsay Lohan host the show on March 3rd (Jack White is the musical guest). Which is weird, because usually when they have a host in, it’s because the host has a project they want to plug, and unless Lindsay wants to plug her next lawsuit, I’m not sure what she has going for her right now. TMZ reports:

Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ she has always felt the SNL executive producer has been very fatherly towards her throughout the years. We’re told LiLo has always enjoyed doing the show, but was waiting for the right time to do it again. So now that her community service is coming to an end, our sources say Lindsay called up Lorne and asked him to consider her for the show again. We’re told they had multiple conversations and eventually settled on a date … March 3.

Mind you, Lindsay has a pretty limited range as it is, and God knows it’s gotten even more limited thanks to the damage that all her “not-drugs” and “moon stones” have done to her body, so honestly I’m really not sure who exactly she could play, other than herself. Or prostitutes. Actually, I guess she could also play her mother Dina Lohan, since they now look like the exact same person now. Remember kids! The fastest way to look like an exhausted, run-down 50-year-old woman is to party as hard as you can and never take any responsibility for your actions.

Lindsay Lohan ‘forgot’ to do her taxes again!

Some of you might remember that a couple years ago, Lindsay Lohan ‘forgot’ to pay something like $93,000 in federal taxes back in 2009. Of course, very few people can remember this because compared to stealing necklaces, hitting babies and trying to hustle johns into buying her $20,000 gifts just because she’s LiLo, this might still somehow be one of the less crazy things she’s ever done. Anyway, turns out Lindsay just ‘forgot’ to pay over $140,000 in taxes again, which is just what happens when you try to write party favors off as a business expense. TMZ reports:

Seems LiLo has given Uncle Sam the slip one more time. According to docs filed yesterday at the L.A. County Recorder’s Office, Lindsay never paid federal income taxes for 2010 … to the tune of $140,203.30. As TMZ previously reported, Lindsay never cut the government a check for the $93,701.57 she was supposed to pay in federal taxes for 2009 either. So far, no comment from Lohan … but she previously blamed her accountants for the 2009 debacle … so it’s probably safe to say they’re gonna get the blame for the 2010 screw up as well.

Yes, gasp, Lindsay forgets to do an integral adult responsibility and blames someone else for it. No way. I mean granted, she can probably make this money back in the space of a couple weekends, as long as the IRS accepts payment in the form of cash covered in semen and cocaine, but still, I doubt the fact that Lindsay can’t properly manage her finances really surprises anyone at this point. That being said, we can all look forward to this exact same story next year.

LiLo wants people to buy her gifts!

So yesterday, we assaulted your eyeballs with Lindsay Lohan‘s coke bloat chic, and we apologize for that. It was not called for. Here’s a picture of a puppy to make up for it. All better? Good, because we’re diving back into that puffy white cavern of despair with this story of Lindsay acting like an entitled crackerjack at amfAR’s benefit, wherein she demanded that people buy her $20,000 auction “gifts” because she’s LiLo. Come for the greedy crackhead diva antics, stay for the denial from her representatives! Page Six reports:

Spies said that when Lohan recognized a wealthy Canadian financier at a nearby table, she shot over to schmooze him — but then sent an assistant over when bidding on the charity auction began.

“There were items being auctioned for $20,000,” said a spy. “After chatting with the businessman, Lindsay sent over an assistant, who said, ‘Lindsay would very much like it if you’d bid on this item as a gift.’ ”

However, the gentleman declined. “He just cracked up,” our source said — and the piece, believed to be a Hublot diamond watch with a white alligator strap, went to another bidder.

Lindsay was overheard telling guests she was at the gala because of her role playing Elizabeth Taylor, a major amfAR donor, in an upcoming Lifetime movie. The platinum-blond starlet wore a white dress and a coat with long fur cuffs and long fur trim (bringing to mind a glam, shaved yeti).

Asked about Lohan’s assistant’s request, her rep sniffed: “This is another instance of people making up stories about Lindsay.”

I totally didn’t know you could do that! I didn’t know you could just go up to random people you don’t know, then have a third party try and shake them down for gifts you haven’t actually earned. Bear in mind, this is Lindsay, a woman who has created some sort of Entitlement Narnia in her head where everyone must agree with everything she does and give into her every whim because she used to be a hot, talented, promising actress six years ago.

Well, Lindsay Lohan looks … not so great

Soooo, Lindsay Lohan was apparently invited to an amfAR event — or maybe she crashed this party too. Who can even tell anymore? — and decided that the best way to raise awareness for AIDS research was by showing up looking like she was dying. Seriously, to anyone who says Lindsay is the picture of perfect health and sensible decisions, I give you Anna Nicole Smith 2.0. RadarOnline reports:

In Hollywood, where so many people want to look young, veteran actress Lindsay Lohan is looking a tad older than her 25 years. The Mean Girls star, sporting bleach blonde locks with bangs, wore a long white dress by Tom Ford and a coat with patches of fur on it at the 2012 amfAR New York Gala at the Cipriani Wall Street.

No, seriously, what the hell is going on here? What exactly does a 25-year-old girl have to do to end up looking like her 50-year-old? Aside from crack, jack, heroine, crystal, tina, angel dust, and vegan pot banana bread. Look, you can pretend that LiLo is doing fine and we’re doing some great disservice to her by pointing at what she’s become and going “Oh, hey, that’s not right”, but who are we kidding, it’d be worse to just nod in agreement and say “Great life choices, Lindsay! Keep doing exactly what you’re doing!”

Here come the lawsuits from Lindsay Lohan!

As anyone with a See ‘n Say knows, the cow goes “moo”, the duck goes “quack”, and the Lindsay Lohan goes “I WILL SUE YOU! *Snort*”. So of course Lindsay is whipping out a lawsuit against RadarOnline after they ran a story about how eye witnesses allegedly saw her “on something” at Chateau Marmont, where she is currently living. Oh yes, did we mention she’s living right above the most famous bar in Hollywood? Because she’s living above the most famous bar in Hollywood. TMZ reports:

Lindsay Lohan says there’s NO TRUTH to reports she was boozing at a SAG Awards after party this weekend … and now, TMZ has learned, she’s threatening to SUE the media outlets that published the story in the first place. A source close to the actress tells TMZ … Lindsay is already exploring her legal options with her attorneys … because she feels the false stories are sabotaging her effort to save her career. Lindsay acknowledges she WAS at the party at the Chateau Marmot hotel in Hollywood Sunday night … but insists she was sitting with Alan Cummings the whole time and ONLY drank water.

Of course, this begs yet another question: Specifically, why in the name of sweet baby fucksauce would a respected actor like Alan Cummings allow himself to be seen with Lindsay. The more I think about it, the more I realize that Lindsay is trying to revive her career by sucking the careers out of respected, talented actors like Shang Tsung sucking the souls out of the other Mortal Kombat fighters. Although if Mortal Kombat has taught me anything, it’s that she’s easily beaten by getting her tipsy, then pressing down-left-right-punch to FINISH HER! … I may be confusing video games with reality again.

Lindsay Lohan was partying at Chateau Marmont

Despite the fact that Lindsay Lohan seems to have finally gotten herself on the right track and is currently following through on her probation, Lindsay decided to reward her one step forward with two steps back. Eyewitnesses reportedly saw LiLo partying at Chateau Marmont, where she allegedly spent a lot of time running in and out of the bathroom and generally acting like a complete lunatic. RadarOnline reports:

“Lindsay was spotted going to the restroom with a male companion on numerous occasions in a short amount of time,” an eyewitness told RadarOnline. “When the two of them emerged from the bathroom, Lindsay was giggling and her nose appeared red. Lindsay was spotted only drinking water in the lounge area, but she appeared to be loaded on something, and she seemed under the influence. Lindsay’s eyes were glassy and her pupils were constricted.”

A second eyewitness tells us that Lohan, wearing a plunging v-neck black dress, sans bra, on Sunday night: “was definitely on something. She was slurring her words, and needed help walking at one point in the course of the night.”

A third eyewitness tells Radar: “Lindsay was sitting on a chair adjacent to Harvey Weinstein’s party – his was roped off and she didn’t get past the rope. So she sat on the other side looking over. She looked bedraggled and desperate.”

Actually, this one shouldn’t be all that shocking, especially when you consider that this is pretty much Lindsay’s general pattern to a tee. Here’s how it works, based on years of me writing about her: Lindsay’s career is in the shitter, she gets a minor bump thanks to the bare minimum of hardwork, Lindsay rewards herself by completely blowing the tiny amount of good will she built up. This is like finding five bucks on the floor and then going out and buying a flat screen television on credit.
