Lindsay Lohan Back In Court For Failing a Sobriety Test

Dammit, Lilo, I loved you in Mean Girls and I am seriously rooting for you to get better, conquer your addictions and personal demons and become my generation’s Drew Barrymore (which…isn’t that far removed from the actual Drew Barrymore, so, probably not the best analogy). But the problem is you seem to be getting all kinds of help, but not getting better.

Case in point: earlier there were reports that Lindsay refused to talk to Matt Lauer of The Today Show. Harmless diva fit, you say? Well, only if by “harmless diva fit” you mean “she violated her probation just before giving an interview about turning her life around.”

See, Lindsay’s not supposed to be drinking right now. Both because she has substance abuse issues and because she’s on probation for DUI’s. So, when she full out failed a urine test? That’s not good at all, because it means she’s not actually following the rules of her punishment. Which, you’ve gotta admit, is pretty lenient: house arrest in a mansion where you’re free to do your thing so long as you don’t drink or do drugs. Lindsay even recently talked to Life & Style magazine about how she’d taken the chance to redecorate her place while on house arrest and how she’d been watching a lot of trashy TV.

Oh, right, plus she filmed a commercial while there, so this isn’t even harming her career. Well, no more than showing up to the set unable to work harms ones career, but I digress.

Lindsay, honey, please. Take the help being offered to you. You have access to this help. There are tons of people who have no access to that help (I’m sorry, but I believe EVERYONE should have free or at least low cost access to services to help with addiction and mental health issues). Not as a celebrity but as another human being: TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
