This post is about gossip and hating, and Lindsay Lohan. It's earnest so it may be preachy.

I have so many mixed feelings about Lindsay. I really rooted for her for a long time, and while I still hope she comes out the other side okay, I can't really think of myself as a fan of hers anymore.

I do feel terribly because I think she is completely unequipped to deal with reality. I don't think there is anyone in her life who isn't an enabler and using her for their own benefit. And I wouldn't wish that on anyone. There really is no way I can see her ever getting better until she kicks her mom to the curb. She spends so much time blaming the media, the interwebs, her friends, her colleagues, for her mistakes, but the one person she COULD rightfully blame for part of it, she keeps in her life.

But I think what ultimately just pushed me away from being a fan of hers is just that I don't believe her anymore. I don't believe she cares about acting. I think she cares about fame and being adored, and while I feel bad for her that that's her #1 priority, it makes it hard for me to care all that much about whether or not she can get a job. When she admits she'd be happy just doing one rip-off Marilyn/Liz/Audrey/Madonna photoshoot after another, I can't really mourn for her lost career. When she can't hold it together for a 6 episode stint on a tv show, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy left.
