My first thought when I looked at this collection of icky Helmut Newton-ish photos (and I'm obviously not calling it a rational or reasonable thought) is that Lindsay Lohan is the devil.

There's some Larry Clark-ish stuff in there too, like from his book TULSA. But instead of sex and needles, we get magic marker and tic-tac-toe. I don't like it.
She definitely showed potential in PARENT TRAP, and possibly FREAKY FRIDAY and MEAN GIRLS as well. I'm not sure who is in these photos, but whoever it is has clearly gone off the deep end.
I heard she's going to India to do a BBC documentary to save the POOR children. What an obvious, desperate move to clean up her pathetic image. I tried so hard not to LOL when I saw that on the news.
You know, I wish I should go find/get a project that could capitalize on where she is in her life right, what people say/think about her, etc. Find some way to turn her whole image on its head. She's probably one THE WRESTLER-type role away from a total resurgence, and just needs someone to provide it. Could you imagine her in a Soderbergh movie?
I like to think Jeff hit "post" before finishing his sentence, which should have read "Lindsay Lohan is the devil for not having sex with me." If I weren't a married man, and old, I might be entertaining similar thoughts. True, her tale is sad, and she does seem to have become something of a dessicated what-have-you. But decent human impulses aside, what lapsed Catholic among us will deny that certain extremes of trashiness don't register as super-hot in the lizard brain?
But anyway: "the devil?" I mean, dude. Seriously. Two words: Pol Pot.
Or better still Glenn, she is the devil bc Wells hasn't landed a video interview where he lingers on her shoes and asks questions nobody needs answers to.
"I heard she's going to India to do a BBC documentary to save the POOR children. What an obvious, desperate move to clean up her pathetic image."
I'm not going to disagree that it was more than likely a desperate PR move, but how much does motivation really matter in this case? As long as she's going over to India and doing something presumably proactive (or at the very least, holding onto a day job with the BBC for a few weeks), shouldn't that behavior by default get a bit of a free pass, if only because it's infinitely preferable to the downward-spiral she seems to fall into when she's not doing anything?
Not to go all Lexy here, but I find her trashy-hot in ways that I have a difficult time explaining, let alone defending.
If you care to know it, the psychology of Lindsay Lohan is two-fold: I want to be Marilyn Monroe, I want to be Angelina Jolie. The latter is probably the best role model example, though. A wild child who went to the line but then cleaned up her image with her charity work. Unfortunately, Angelina is so beautiful she will be forgiven everything. Poor Lindsay isn't that perfect and so she just ends up looking more like Courtney Love. Next she'll be adopting a child from a third world country, although my money says no adoption agency would allow that.
Wow, it just hit me now, but she is PERFECT for the lead in the script I'm trying to get off the ground! Even the state of her life is a huge plus. If only...
Also, these pictures are both hot and artistic, and no-one would complain if they didn't have it in for the girl for personal reasons.
Off-topic but couldn't help mentioning that on the HUFFINGTON POST page w/Lindsey is a link to the sure-to-be-fun-couple pairing of Jessica Simpson and Billy Corgan.
I feel kinda dirty writing this, but... Ms. Lohan needs to take a page out of Paris Hilton's current playbook. Get the fuck out of the spotlight and let people forget about you for a while.

To me, she's hot as hell. Granted, a hot, coked out-knife fight mess... but hot nonetheless.

They look like crime-scene photos.
I like the one where she's literally flushing her career down the toilet. That and the one where she's getting laid.

Interesting photos. I wish she'd get her shit together. She has potential. You can't deny that looking at those pictures.

The only part I could see her landing is on the great FX program NIP TUCK but that show has wrapped shooting on its final yr. What a downfall.

The dead look in her eyes just makes her that much hotter. She should really start doing porn, she was born for it.
