This really doesn’t take too much explaining. Saturday’s are notorious for yard sales. People like selling their junk to other people dumb enough to buy it. I believe the saying goes, “someone’s trash is another persons treasure.”
Great. Run with that. So in honor of trash, I’m pairing up two fine young ladies that may be in someone’s driveway being sold on the cheap.
Brittany vs Lindsay. It doesn’t get anymore discount then that.
Whitney sure mixed it up while in Miami! During her stay in the sunshine state, Whitney and BFF Roxy satisfied their sweet tooth at Yogen Fruz. While Roxy went as basic as ever- simple black and white- Whitney shunned all things solid. Whitney went with a polka dot jacket with a striped shirt.
We know Whitney likes mixing lengths, colors and various floral prints. She also likes taking risks. So, she’s a bona fide mixaholic (not to be confused with a milkaholic, see Lindsay Lohan) What do you think of this look?
I could have just left this picture up with the title and none of you would have questioned it…none of you! However, I have some sense of journalistic responsibility so it’s only right that I point out that this isn’t Boy George…it’s Lindsay Lohan. I hadn’t done a “Lindsay Looks Like Shit,” post in a while, so when I saw this picture I couldn’t resist. Only thing I had to decide was whether to try and pass her off as Boy George or Joel Madden…I think I made the right choice.
OK, we get it. Life in the Middle East is way more real. You don’t have to go rubbing our noses in it.
While Americans are spending another day up-in-tweets about the Lindsay Lohan/E Trade litigation, over in Israel a supermarket chain is airing a TV commercial that parodies the assassination of a Hamas leader in Dubai earlier this year. The ad, reports the BBC, features garishly-costumed actors and security-camera-esque footage (blatant and unabashed references to the successful assassination scheme), as well as the tag line “We offer killer prices.”
No punches pulled. Man. You couldn’t just let us have this one, could you? We get a healthy nationwide debate going — Is Lindsay really a milkaholic? Does she have one-name star power? Is that baby wearing underwear? — and you gotta go and one-up us like this with your edginess and your jihad. Sheesh. Let someone else have the drama for once, wouldja.
Lindsay Lohan – After her disastrous debut as artistic advisor at Emanuel Ungaro last season, with a collection that put models in glittery heart pasties, Lindsay Lohan was a no-show at the fall runway show for the French brand Monday.
(Lindsay Lohan Rumors has been making the rounds at other Paris fashion shows, however, including Viktor & Rolf and John Galliano.)
The collection was probably better for it. Eighties-inspired print blouses, worn with cropped pants and boyfriend jackets, short satin skirts draped at the hips, and ruched and pleated cocktail dresses (did we really need seven nearly identical short black dresses?) paid homage to the exuberant style of the house in a way that wasn’t offensive but didn’t inspire much desire or look especially luxurious either.
Estrella Archs, Ungaro’s design director, took her runway bow solo. But even without Lohan, who is rumored to have left her post (though a company representative would not confirm that), this collection is a still a non-starter.
Lindsay Lohan has admitted using cocaine and visiting rehabs thrice.
The ‘Mean Girls’ star confessed she had almost killed herself with mix of alcohol and cocaine after her father started talking about her drugs habit to the press in 2007.
“When my father was going public, that’’s when I hit rock bottom,” Fox News quoted her as telling The Sun.
She added: “I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine and mind-altering substances. I ran myself down and lost track of who I was.”
Recollecting her May 2007 arrest for DUI (driving under the influence) and possession of cocaine, she said: “I just thank God everyone was okay. But it was scary. I had three drinks, at most. I”ve been stupid and childish and I wasn”t thinking.”
Lohan insists she has now got rid of her addiction.
She said: “I”ve made some dreadful mistakes but learned from them – that has probably saved my life.
“Mind-altering drugs are so dangerous. I”m allowed to drink now but I know my limits. Partying so hard isn”t worth it.”
Dan (who’s now resorted to talking in the third person) finally managed to get down to the renowned Bungalow 8 last night for one of Sam Young and John Woolf’s legendary star-spangled blow-outs – and definitely lived up to the billing.
Sam and John’s regular pre-Brits bash (in association with adidas who provided really cool swag, stormtroopers and Darth Vader) is a staple on the London party calendar and while I can’t say I’m one to get starstruck in the slightest, there were several faces down there slightly more well known than mine.
New US teen sensation Ke$ha was one of the stars out to play while there were also appearances from Sugababes, JLS, Shy FX, N-Dubz (brilliant), Ryan Leslie and more – though star of the show had to be Lindsay Lohan who rocked up in the early hours, clearly having started the party by herself long ago. Now, we’re not ones to judge for over-excess Lindsay, but flicking your cigarettes at the waitress? Not cool…
Our night was made by appearances from Luke Blackall, Hannah Harley Young and the one and only XO Man – Love it!
If you’re scratching your head trying to figure out why the name Ungaro sounds so familiar, you’re not alone. We did the same for a beat or two until it hit us. Ungaro is the fashion house that NY’s own Lindsay Lohan guest designed for a few months back. Remember how you loved the sequined pasties? No one else does either, and now the company is shutting down its NYC boutique. Fear not Lohan junkies (should you actually exist), according to reports from The Awl there will be a liquidation sale with prices reduced up to 75%. Get going, you have until February 27th to stock up Lohan originals and everything you need for Mardi Gras 2010.

“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32. Philosophers of nearly every worldview and religion agree with Jesus’ declaration. The point of difference is and always will be, “What is truth?” If truth is fact, we should be the freest generation ever born. The fact machine we call “internet” is churning out more factoids than we can absorb, by the second. Some would argue the internet and the information age it has facilitated, has not freed but ensnared us all.
Let’s be honest, there is nothing significantly freeing about knowing that (1) Danica Patrick will make her stock-car racing debut this weekend, (2) Ashton Kutcher will do “anything” for his lovely wife, Demi, (3) Lindsay Lohan has hoarding issues. (All three of these “facts” are top 10 trending topics on internet search engines, today.) If you’re the type of truth seeker that digs deeper than celebrity fodder, you may have discovered today that (1) Sarah Palin relied heavily on her husband Todd’s advice as governor, (2) The government is now arbitrarily storing newborn babies’ DNA in a massive database, (3) A new study reveals gamblers who experience a near loss are inwardly encouraged to gamble more since they’re acquiring “skill” in their “craft”. For all our learning, do we feel any freer?
Do Facts = Truth?
True and truth are different. They are related, but not one in the same. Just like man and father are different, true and truth exist on two different planes. Let’s play this out for fun. A father must be a man. A man, however, doesn’t have to be a father to be a man. Other factors make a man a father. A father is a culmination of several realities that result in a new arena of existence.
Truth is higher than true.
True facts will not and cannot ever equal truth. They are merely an ingredient of the recipe for truth. Follow? Truth (perhaps oversimplified) is achieved through harmonizing facts. It is the result of moving in and out of concrete experiences and realities and finding consistency and unity in the facts. This is what we call the “higher meaning.” This higher meaning gives significance to life that cannot be discovered through simply knowing facts.
The Significance of Truth
Secularism insists that there is no higher meaning, only facts that are true. The result is deification of fact. Their rule book tells them that all fact is random and thereby has no further significance, no reason or rhyme. Just as in their version of the genesis of the world, all that is, exists by chance and not design. But isn’t the organization of this worldview, proof of an attempt to arrive at a higher meaning? The truth of their view could not be ascertained, because they ruled out the One who sits in that higher plane possessing the meaning they seek. They are, then, condemned to comb the earth for more and more facts devoid of the power to fulfill any meaningful purpose.
Missing the Truth
We, as believers, are quick to chastise the secularist who fails to discover higher meaning. The true irony lies in the fact that a large number of “Christians” will also fail to grasp the truth in their day on earth. There is a danger in thinking that knowing the “word” of God is knowing truth. The discipline of reading the “word” is indispensable, but not the sole ingredient of knowing truth.
The holy canon of scriptures can also become a mindless collection of random facts and experiences, without the ability to the find harmony, reason and meaning they lead to. Could this be what Jesus meant when he scolded the Pharisees in John 5:39? “You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me.” Christ is the higher meaning, the Truth. Everything that is, exists by and for Him. (By Him, I mean His purpose, His redemptive plan and its fulfillment in all creation.)
Free Your Mind
We were created to look for this higher meaning. Truth is ascertainable, because God made you to ascertain Him. To quote Josef Pieper, “Man’s existence becomes more fulfilled the more he can explore and understand reality.” This is our freedom.

The only thing worse than bad music, is bad music done by people who think they’re good at it. It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion or watching one-legged man hobble across the cross walk or a dog licking peanut from the roof of his mouth. Although it’s frustrating, its somehow funny. Sadly, a lot of actors decide the next obvious step in their career is cutting the worst album known to man. Just ask Steven Segal and his album Mojo Priest!

Hmmm… why do I read this and think ‘putting on a brave front’ is actually a dirty, dirty euphemism?
Seems the release on the internet of a 47 second clip featuring LiLo and a mystery fella is imminent.
To read the news story, click here.
Some quick notes for ya Linds:
1. Whilst putting on a brave front about the indignity of a leaked sex-tape, perhaps it’s best not to go to major events in Los Angeles wearing a see-through blouse and no bra (see above).
2. It may also be best during this difficult time not to attend events such as a classy party for Vida, a new luxury sex toy. I’m just saying…
3. It may be difficult to pull off ’shocked and disappointed’ about the release of a leaked sex-tape when it appears you actually have very little feeling left in your face. Why???
4. How ’shocked and disappointed’ can you really be, considering the 47 second clip was recorded by a Waiter.
In a public bathroom.
At a chain restaurant.
If I’m LiLo and I schtup some random dude in the mens room at T.G.I.F’s, I could conceivably be upset that the video leaks to the internet. But shocked?
Try the Chicken Tenders! And Lindsay Lohan's vagina!
I does the math, and methinks this is just another desperate attempt at career revival via carefully orchestrated sex-tape.
Which is fine, I guess. I have no problem with watching celebrities fumble with one another’s junk whilst in a coke-addled haze. But after that chick from Gossip Girl’s ‘footjob’ video… well, the bar has been raised.
Here’s hoping Linday’s prepared to challenge herself and we at least get a Rusty Trombone or an Angry Pirate in this clip.
It’d be her most interesting performance since ‘Mean Girls’ at least…
While under probation for her DUI arrest, Lindsay Lohan was involved in a hit-and-run accident. The good thing is Lohan was not driving her BMW although she was inside the car during the accident.
Lohan’s car struck a paparazzo while leaving The Hotel Café in Hollywood. Lohan’s driver became a person in interest in an investigation for a criminal assault with a deadly weapon.
However, after watching a footage of the incident (yes, it was caught on tape!), authorities decided that it failed to meet the standards of an assault with deadly weapon. The driver may still be charged for hit-and-run though.
Apparently, in an attempt to revive her career, Lindsay Lohan is playing humanitarian. I mean, it totally worked for Angelina Jolie. Oh wait, Angelina Jolie had already won an Oscar and three Golden Globe awards before she filmed her documentary (or MTV special as it’s referred to). And she took Dr. Jeffrey Sachs (Wikipedia him, he’s a big shot) with her just in case nobody believed an actress had the necessary credentials.
This is a short clip from Lindsay Lohan’s new documentary that follows her on her travels through India, where she attempts to shed light on the child-trafficking industry there. With questions and phrases such as:
Didn’t you hear, from other traffickers, that children were abused and… maybe some girls, if they’re like attractive, raped and prostituted and subjected to such horrible things?
Could they not, at least, have written a script for her?
All jokes (and fame-mongering intentions) aside, good for LiLo for actually being part of something like this, I just wish she came across as more serious/involved/knowledgeable/empathetic.
“Everybody wants to be somebody,” a wise scholar once said. Clearly, Ruffneck and Yavahn were thinking of our fashion future, which dictates that “everybody wants to show their body,” based on the onset of leggings of pants and bodysuits returning as a possible clothing option.
Nowadays, the most knowledge imparted comes from the likes of Lady Gaga, Lindsay Lohan, and Amber Rose who have initiated and continued the trend of viewing nylon as a suitable covering for one’s lower half (stockings as pants, anyone?). J-Lo wore a brown sparkly bodysuit to ring in 2010, and despite its shine, I couldn’t help but think of this childhood favorite:
Nevertheless, it inspired me to highlight this oldie but (very) goodie, Ruffneck ft. Yavahn “Everybody Be Somebody.” Enjoy:
You know after all the sh*t that Lindsay LOLohan has to put up with from her douchey parents, I’m sure the bi*ch just wants to let LOOSE and have a good time.
Considering that her definition of a “good time” is huffing paint thinner, it’s a little QUESTIONABLE.
Nonetheless, Lohan wants YOU to know that she’s heading in a more POSITIVE direction for 2010…
As she posted various bikini pics of her and her older little sister vacay-ing in St. Barths, she also Tweeted:
“To answer everybody’s question…My new years resolution is to stop letting the lucky few that have my heart, try2constantly tear me down.
2010 is about moving forward, not backwards. Leaving the bad (people, habbits, and negative energy behind) time to make changes-right!?!? “
Yes Lindsay.
We were all losing sleep worrying about what your New Year’s resolutions entail.
Um. Hope she added eating REAL food to her list. B*tch looks like she has Kwashiorkor.
Maybe 2010 will be better to Lindsay Lohan than 2009 was.
“Starting my new year off with friends&family, the way it should be….. No boyfriends and the other drama,” she tweeted early Thursday morning.
Later in the day she turned up in a pink bikini and smoking a cigarette aboard a boat in St. Barth, where she is supposed to attend Russell Simmons’ NYE bash.
“Peace and Love Mates,” she tweeted along with this image.
