DUMB & DUMBER

Who Will Save Lindsay Lohan?

By Elizabeth C.

ANY SECOND NOW, WE'LL HEAR DINA LOHAN exclaiming that everybody's making a big deal out of Lindsay putting a gun to her mouth and then tweeting the picture.

"She's just a kid!," she'll wail. "She's under a lot of pressure! Leave her alone!"

To which somebody, anybody, should tell her to fucking wake up, get a grip. That she's displaying the most blatant example of enabling that Hollywood's seen this ratings season.

Among the many potential villains in the “Lindsay Lohan’s On The Verge Of Meltdown” story, Dina's antagonist number one.

The whole of Dina’s Wikipedia entry is a capsule review of the 47-year-old's record as mother, which includes putting her 16-year-old daughter Ali in the reality TV spotlight and bringing cameras from Entertainment Tonight to the drug rehabiltation in which Lindsay was enrolled. How fucked up is that?

Of course, daddy Michael Lohan’s no prize either. Fate sandbagged poor Lindsay with dumb and dumber for parents.

But things have gotten crazy out of control, provoking Los Angeles police, Dr. Drew Pinsky, and now Rosie O’Donnell to give voice to their concerns about Lindsay’s well-being. It may already be too late: unlearning a lifetime of lessons on manipulation may not be possible.

Getting the police involved is always a dangerous last resort. it might be time to take that risk.
