This Girl Needs Rehab

I can’t believe it. I never ever thought something like this would happen in a million years. A celebrity has been sent to jail for drugs and alcohol. Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to 3 months in jail for violating her probation. She missed her rehab classes and the judge wasn’t having it and finally sentenced her. She had to wear an alcohol monitor after the Cannes debacle and had to attend rehab and I guess she thought she was too good for rehab and never went. Of course, Lindsay broke down and cried at her sentencing and now has to keep her ankle monitor until July 20 when she will finally be taken into custody. I watched Larry King last night at the gym and he was talking to Lindsay's father who was crying and putting on a show about how his daughter needs rehab and she refuses to listen to him. Dr. Drew was there as well talking about how much help she needs and he would be willing to give it to her. It was all kind of gross to watch these people. Stop talking about it and do something for her.

I know my victory song for a celebrity going to jail makes me sound like a horrible person, but I feel I have 2 reasons for singing it. First, all celebrities seem to find a way around the system. If Lindsay Lohan was any random person, they would have been sentenced her immediately without any thought to what her day job was. Why should celebrities be treated any differently for committing bad deeds? Second I think Lindsay has a lot of potential to be something great and really needs some rehab. She was so good in the remake of The Parent Trap and even in Freaky Friday and Mean Girls and now look at her. I think she could have broken out of the teen movies and gone on to do what Rachel McAdams was able to do if it weren't for drugs and alcohol. I think she needs to get her shit together and get away from her parents and realize all the mistakes she’s making and get better. She has had such an awful upbringing and her parents keep using her for their own fame and I think the only way to make her better at this point would be to get her away and in a facility where she will get the help she needs. Asking her to get the help herself has obviously not worked so force seems to be the only way. I really hope she can turn it around.
