I’ve been seeing more and more reports about Lindsay Lohan’s plummeting weight, and typically when you get that kind of saturation on a story, it’s probably true. OK! Magazine doesn’t seem to have my favorite story online, but in the February 2 print edition, under the headline “Their Sick Contest”:
The more heavily Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson weigh on each other’s minds, the lighter they are on the scale. “Sam has gotten so thin from Red Bull, cigarettes and stress related to life with Lindsay,” the DJ’s friend tells OK!. “Lindsay is bad for Sam’s health.”
Since the two went public with their tumultuous relationship last May, each has competed to be skinnier than the other, says a pal of the 22-year-old actress. “Lindsay is obsessed with her weight; it’s hard to be with another woman and not compare bodies,” the source tells OK!. “And Sam herself loves being skinny and prefers Lindsay super-lean.”
Lindsay’s rep goes on in the article to deny the story and stress that “Lindsay is fine.”
But then yesterday, to continue to refute the claim, that same rep told Page Six:
“Lindsay is aware that she’s lost some weight due to stress, but we recently did a photo shoot and she ate two full meals.”
So there you have it. Sometime recently, Lindsay ate two full meals. It might have been days ago, but meals were eaten so she’s not the pro-ana poster child you think she is.
On the other hand, maybe we need to call the intervention machine of Amy Poehler and Tina Fey back in.

Yeah, she ate two meals, but did she throw them up again?
She looks like a crack whore, and while that’s probably not far off in accuracy, there was a time when she at least looked like a cute crack whore.
What would Jrod do?
I take that back, she doesn’t look like a crack whore. She looks like Chris Robinson after a shave.
Chris Robinson looks and probably smells better.
True, bigmama. Chris looks as though he at least washes his hair.
If they really want her to put on some pounds, just have her call Jessica Simpson. Just tell her to keep her hands, and fingers away from Jessica’s mouth.
Why are the Lohans delusional? No one cares about Lindsay anymore. She’s a washed up junkie. She’s been given countless chances to better herself and she can’t. I say leave Lindsay alone with her Redbull. If she leaves this world its her choice.
Chronic Malanga – that is the real question here….JRod where are you?
Right here, telling you I’d hit it…And throw in Sam too. But only as a package deal…
This is a sad (and sadly familiar) Hollywood story, but where’s the hypocrisy?
And where’s JRod when you need him anyway?
Rumor is, Linds is really into meth. Which would explain her appearance pretty well. Her only purpose in life now is to serve as a cautionary tale to others. Sad.
Sam’d hit YOU Jrod.
Boob jobs on anorexics are so hot.
It’s a slow day, so I’ll admit to this story being borderline, but she made a big deal about getting healthy again (as I linked to above) and blaming L.A. for her anorexia and so forth, so now that she’s living in New York and still not eating, well…

Gotcha, Holly. Thanks for the clarification.
And thanks, Simon, for the ad pitch. It’s comforting that in these troubling times you can always count on something.
Light a candle or curse the darkness.
Consisting of what? A piece of celery for lunch and half a carrot stick for dinner?
Part of me feels bad for Lindsay Lohan because you can tell she’s clearly anorexic, but the other part of me doesn’t feel bad because of her tendency to deny all the help that’s available to her.
She doesn’t want to get better. She wants people to continue interrogating about her personal life because she hasn’t made a successful movie in a long time.
whoaaaa there 2 full meals? of what? samantha’s hooha and coke? big wow. she looks really ill.
oh and stress from what? working? whats she working on exactly? no seriously, i don’t know what shes working on if anything lol
I cant possibly the only one who sees this girl as a classic methhead.
Just on principle I would feel inclined to defend Lohan’s weight, saying something like “Well, I know she’s likely an anorexic coke addict, but some people ARE just naturally thin.” I WOULD say something like that, in most circumstances, if it weren’t for the fact that not that long ago Lohan was successful while still walking around in an actual body so we know she’s not one of the naturally bony. I remember a quote from her after her weight plummeted and she started resembling a department store mannequin, she said something along the lines of “I like being thin, I can fit into more clothes”. Yep, way to go Lindsay, you can now fit into the body bag of your choice.
That’s for enlightening us, Jrod.
And yeah, I have to agree with the sentiment that she just doesn’t want help. She’s so far gone that unless she gets a major wake up call, she’ll end up as a tragic footnote in Hollywood lore.
Chronic wrote: “…unless she gets a major wake up call, she’ll end up as a tragic footnote in Hollywood lore.”
Somehow I don’t think Lindsay will earn just a simple footnote. Think about it, thanks to modern media, every messed up drug addict musician or actor who kicks the bucket out of sheer stupidity suddenly becomes “The Voice of Their Generation.”
James Dean
Marilyn Monroe
Jim Morrison
Freddie Prinze

Okay, some of ‘em did some good work. But they’re mostly famous for leaving behind a young, drug addled corpse. Not one of them was Shakespeare or Cicero. Not one of them speaks for an entire generation of people who have somehow made it through life without ever trashing a hotel room.
Yet the media keeps shoving tributes down our throats for months, years, and decades after they’ve ceased relevance. Oh, woefull are we, they died too soon! Now our generation is without a voice. Sob, sob, weep, weep.
The best thing the James Dean Club members ever did for society was to die young. At least we didn’t have to watch their decent into the sewers of Hollywood like Anna Nicole, Courtney Love, Amy Winehouse, Lindsay Lohan…
I almost got into a fist fight with Chris Farley at a bar called US Blues on Wells St. before he was famous. What a dick.
Minnow, you forgot those two titans of the 60s, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. Not that they weren’t talented, but their deaths were pretty freakin’ stupid.
I have a half-formed theory about how all the so-called ‘legendary’ bands out there were thus labeled by stoned guys in dorm rooms, but that’s a discussion for another day.
I did forget about Janis. Shoot, she’s perfect.
I was looking for more women too, but I ruled out Cass Elliot since she’s mostly remembered for her cameo on Scooby-Doo.
I toyed with using Jimi but I figured he really did change the face of music forever. Sorta like Mozart, both died early & stoned but their contributions were that of many, many lifetimes.
True, Minnow – Jimi did influence pop music to a huge extent. It’s just a shame he didn’t live to do more of it.
My husband the musician will debate you about Mozart dying stoned…unless you consider mercury poisoning a form of drug use…
And presto! We’re back to the Pivster. I’m not quite sure how I manage to do that.
I thought it was trichinosis.
Seems like I read that Wolfie was a lush, but so many were back in the day…
Maybe it was just the syphilis talking.
Is Heath Ledger the voice of my generation?! His regular voice, which was always pretty hot, that deep Aussie accent, or his bizarre and mind-blowing Joker voice? “I’m like a dog chasing cars! I–I wouldn’t know what to DO with one if I caught one!”
Or am I too old to claim his voice for my generation? Well, I actually liked him, as opposed to everyone else on that list. Thank goodness I’ll be beyond too old for Lindsay Lohan to ever be the voice of my generation when she wastes away into nothing and dies.
I hate Heath Ledger, Australia absolutely lauded every single one of his movies until he became a critical and gay community darling in “Brokeback Mountain” and then he went and killed himself. That was the best thing he ever did.
Hey, that’s my teenagerhood you’re hatin’ on there
I would say “got himself killed,” not “killed himself.” Or did they rule it a suicide while I wasn’t looking?
Although admittedly I hated Brad Pitt for a long time because he was so popular, “his movies were/are praised” is a pretty lame reason to hate someone.
Still, you weren’t a 16-year-old Midwestern girl at the height of his career, so I guess that’s okay. To be honestly, he dropped off my radar sometime after “The Order” came out.
“Is Heath Ledger the voice of my generation?”
Depends upon what generation you belong to.
Cobain (1967) and Phoenix (‘70) are commonly cited as Generation X (runs ‘61 to about ‘75).
Ledger (‘79) is a Y (about 1975 – ‘80).
But the dates are iffy, so how do you tell if you’re an X or a Y?
A marketing guy once explained to me that it all depends upon the Sea Monkey Principle:
If you cried when you discovered that Sea Monkeys were only stupid brine shrimp, and your dad said “Suck it up, life gets worse. Now go mow the lawn.” then you’re an Xer.
If your parents helped you organize a class action lawsuit against the manufacturers of Sea Monkeys, Madd Magazine, and 4 major paper pulp distributors for endangering child lives when they attempt to hold Sea Monkey style tea parties at the bottom of public pools… then you’re a Y.
I think they’ve changed generation Y to go from something like ‘76 to ‘00? It’s really crazy… then again, those broad titles never made sense (someone born in 1950 and 1975 did not have the same growing up and neither did someone born in 1980 and someone born in 2000).
But that’s not the point, the point is that it’s pretty sad when your publicist has to come out and say you ate two meals — and never specified a time frame. Were these the only two meals she’d eaten all week? month? year?
I’ve heard ‘80 to ‘00 referred to as Gen Z or Millenials.
I once heard that the ’80s-90s babies were “net generation,” but I’ve never been clear as to what generation I’m in. It doesn’t help that I look at people my age and think they’re aliens, so there’s no way I match with them.
If there was Generation X born in the 60s and 70s … and then Generation Y …
Can we be generation “WHY??? WHY, LORD, WHY?!”
“Although admittedly I hated Brad Pitt for a long time because he was so popular, “his movies were/are praised” is a pretty lame reason to hate someone. ”
You would hate him too if you were forced to do a 2000 word essay on his life for Media Production and Analysis. Don’t even get me started on Marilyn Monroe.
Good point, Minnow. Though I see her more on the list of tragic Hollywood footnotes that don’t get the tributes, and only a film school geek would be aware of her existence in 20 years. I agree with your point about the tributes, though.
After Kristine’s and my three hour conversation yesterday concerning generations, I have come to the conclusion that the whole setup is ridiculous–it shouldn’t be possible for my sister and her daughter to be in the same generation! Let’s just go by decades like sensible people.
Oh, and LYTEUP, you’re not helping your case any. I’ve written a lot of 2,000 word essays and, well, John Donne’s the only subject I still hate–and that’s because he writes filthy, stupid poems. At least that’s a reason. Hating someone because of writing an essay about him is almost a poorer excuse than “he’s popular.”
It makes life a lot easier if you hate everyone. And for no reason. Trust me.
Ah, I bow to Pasta’s superior wisdom.
