Lindsay Lohan and the Headlines

By Dylan Richkards

Lighting up screens at the age of 3, Lindsay should have been informed on the dangers of showbiz life. Ever since Lindsay moved to LA, she seems to be losing control.

As a New Yorker, Lindsay's first gig was at three years old as a Ford model. After which she appeared in over 60 TV commercials until 1996. It was then that Lindsay first appeared as an "actress" on Another World.

Lindsay starred in the Parent Trap in 1998 which was a remake of the old version. In 2003, she starred in another film that really skyrocketed her career and Lindsay made the decision to move to L.A.

Lindsay seems to rub people the wrong way, well when it comes to men anyways. Lindsay's four year feud with Hillary Duff is over Aaron Carter. Also the feud with Ashlee and Jessica Simpson over Wilmer Valderrama dates back to 2004.

In the early part of 2005, Lindsay lost a lot of weight. Later Lindsay admitted that she was bulimic. She appeared in Mean Girls. I'm not sure if the Lindsay took the character home with her. But after this movie, she was now portraying a "mean girls" attitude.

Lindsay was in two car crashes in 2005, which was apparently caused by the paparazzi. In 2006 Lindsay was told that she was being unprofessional for showing up to work late a couple of times. While back in New York, Lindsay broke her wrist while clubbing with friends.

Finally in December 2006 Lindsay began attending AA meetings after much criticism from the public. In 2007, Lindsay was arrested twice on drunk driving charges and sentenced to jail for 1 day, community service order and an 18 month alcohol education program.

There hasn't been much in the news lately about Lindsay, as she has been keeping busy with her new movie "Labor Pains." Her next progress hearing is set for January 2009. Hopefully Lindsay has learned a few lessons and learns some self confidence and discipline.
