I think it is Lindsay Lohan's business whether she takes a drink now and then.

I would, however, be disinclined to have any important enterprise reliant on her.

This disinclination exists despite the fact that I really liked her in FREAKY FRIDAY and MEAN GIRLS, and that I am sympathetic to her problems.

I would not cast her as the lead in a $300 million motion picture called Mayor of New York.

In a two person race between her and, say, Gary Busey, I might have to cast her by default.

But in general terms... uh, no. She is reckless and self-destructive and just not very grown up. Which is sad.

Nobody gives a damn if she makes it through the race or not, we just want to see her "in the wall". But,...she is not enough of a competitor anymore to have real sponsors, so the Lohan car just gets dusted off every now and then as a commemorative pace car. .

The Beiber car is going to be the SPECTACULAR crash.

she needs more track time than a few seconds to keep the image up.

But I think you're right she will eventually hit someone else, after yet another stint in a rehab facility of her choosing. You have to wonder how low she can go, when even Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie grew up and she didn't.

I think 6 months in jail might be good for her, give her an ice cold reality check that she needs.

She barely has the horsepower to "bump and grind" through the news, but it's more exciting that nothing happening.

Beiber.....THAT wipe out is going to be EPIC ! The fascination with watching young, overpaid, manipulated, spoiled celebrities crash and burn is a sport all it's own. It's present in sports, movies, music, and politics,..the first sign of an upward TREND of success/talent is slathered onto the public as "proof" of a shinning star. Consistency wins races and builds careers, celebrity god status at the first sign of popularity fills some bank accounts but mostly fills junkyards and morgues.

Her last two directors complained that she was next to impossible to work with because of her lack of discipline, e.g. wouldn't show up for work on time.
Another example I read somewhere: Once she skipped work entirely to party with another celebrity who happened to stay in the same hotel.

It takes three things to make it to the top as a model/actress: look, talent and discipline.
2 out of 3 isn't good enough.

Much like a sex addict running for Mayor of New York City Lindsay knows the consequences of her behavior. Every time you back slide you dominate the News. Lindsay Lohan is the master of this self generating attention ploy, Weiner with his cell phone sex addiction can only hope. Problem is Lohan is a danger to everyone, Weiner promises to only destroy himself.
