Lindsay Lohan:

Celebrity Self Help

This is the first edition of Celebrity Self Help, brought to you by Picked By Guys. Given the fact that Lindsay Lohan has spent more time in the tabloids, rehab or court than she has at work, we should help her first. Unless you have been on the moon, you are aware that Lindsay has had considerable troubles in recent years. When we say considerable, we mean three trips to rehab, drug charges and DUIs. That was just in 2007! Before we can help Lindsay we need to explore more of her recent antics.

Lindsay was doing ok until 2002 when she had her first celebrity drama after being played by Aaron Carter. Apparently Aaron was dating Lohan and Hillary Duff at the same time. Duff and Lohan took the jealousy and anger out on each other in a public fall out. Since 2002 Lindsay has dated a slew of b-list actors and nobodies. Most recently she has decided to take a chance with the female persuasion by dating a b-list DJ, Samantha Ronson.

Aside from dating some less than desirable characters, Lindsay has really taken to shoveling cocaine and pills into her system faster than Robert Downey Jr. on a Saturday afternoon. The drug use did get her three trips to celebrity detention (aka rehab), but also got her a personal showcase of her crazy behavior everyday in the tabloids. Whether she was passing out, doing drugs on tape, or playing with knives we got to see it all. For many people seeing her in the paper has become an addiction. Unfortunately, her young fans have also watched and likely followed her little reindeer games.

The clock is still ticking, and Lindsay has taken her queue. According to recent tabloids, she is back on drugs, possibly cutting and basically falling apart. As all of this is going on, she is filing for a restraining order against her father. Apparently her father is out of control and acting like a maniac. Here at Picked By Guys, we can’t help but think that her upbringing and family has had something to do with her deep seeded desire to pickle herself in booze, drugs and b-list lovers. Lindsay, please check out the Solution for a little advice.

Lindsay Lohan: Celebrity Self Help/Solution

Get clean Lindsay! Sure, easy for us to say. Anyone can make a judgment call on someone else’s substance use. So how about some tips, it’s obviously more than kicking the booze and drugs for 45 days. First, don’t lead the horse to water, in other words don’t lead Lindsay to the crack house, stay away from parties, clubs and bars. Further, try to surround yourself with positive influences, people who care about YOU and not your fame. Next, find a replacement to the drugs. Take up a healthy activity like exercise (woops you did that and got a little rexy), ok, maybe horse back riding, working with kids, or shopping for guys clothes, Samantha can help with that.

Spend some time on you. Take time to slow down and reflect on your life, yourself and your history/future. It seems that you likely have a wounded self-esteem. We think you are a beautiful girl with a lot to offer. However, based on your behaviors and associations, it seems that you do not value your self. Seek the support and guidance of a therapist to help you find the strength and talents that lead you to success in the first place. Hopefully by going down this path, you will be able to build a stronger sense of self and learn to expect more from yourself and others.

Give something back. Our panel is not totally decided on this one, but we are going with it anyway. A lot of young fans out there have been looking up to you and likely emulating your behaviors. There is probably a young girl or a thousand out there that have done piles of drugs and driven around sauced, because they thought is was the Lohan way to fame. Now, we are not recommending doing some fake public service announcement about how you care. We think you should start a rehab of your own. It’s something you know about, seems you like to go once a quarter. Not all young people out there can afford a trip to a luxury treatment center. They often get stuck going to a local clinic, which does not always give them enough care. You should start one that gives scholarships to young Lohan wanna be’s on rocks.

Finally, get the whole family together and off to therapy. Your parents obviously need some help. You can tackle issues together that will hopefully help your relationship with them and help your sister along, as she is younger and more dependent on good old Mr. and Mrs. “milk off my daughter’s fame”. Good luck Lindsay.
