Today's imdb news provides much
bzoppa-celebrity fodder.
When I first saw the title
Lohan Refused a Drink at Los Angeles Hotspot, I thought, good for her! She was offered a drink, and she said no.
Then I read further, and it's just too THAT SUCKS for me to not quote in full:Lindsay Lohan's aides are going out of their way to make sure the actress/singer stays sober after spending much of the summer in rehab - they've told staff at all her old hangouts not to let her drink alcohol. The Mean Girls star found this out for herself when she tried to order vodka at Los Angeles' Viceroy hotel on October 19. A staff member at the hotel reveals Lohan spent an hour sipping water, but felt the need for something stronger as her friends started to get tipsy. A source tells Life & Style magazine, "She was fine at first, but it was obviously too soon for her to be around people who were drinking, because she later asked the server for a vodka. But her people had called ahead and servers were told not to give in no matter how often Lindsay asked for alcohol." Despite denials about the incident from Lohan's publicist, a guest at the Viceroy, who overheard the exchange between the actress and a waitress, tells the publication, "I heard the waitress say that she was sorry but she wasn't allowed to serve her. Lindsay walked out soon after, looking embarrassed."
I don't even have much of a comment, battling my own demons. I know what it's like to go out and intend sobriety, then get fed up or think, "One drink's okay"-but to be denied? And have it publicly reported? You/I know she debated with herself for the hour with that water, "Get a drink, don't get a drink, get a drink, don't get a drink." No wonder she left embarrassed.
However, she's not as stupid as Britney Spears,
who left in the middle of a phone interview to take a shower. Seriously? That girl has got some mental problems. I'm sad that
the Commissioner refused to tape her testimonies, I'd love to actually hear the girl try to defend herself in a court.
