Lindsay Lohan's Real Claim to Fame

Lindsay Lohan's recent trip to rehab did not seem to do much good, as she was arrested May 26, 2007 for suspicion of driving under the influence. What was the suspected drug? The "usable amount" of cocaine that was found in Lohan's car after she hit a curb, sending her to the hospital with minor injuries. She also fled the scene of the accident and was later found by police officers at Century City Hospital.

For a celebrity who is idolized by so many teens, Lohan seems to be getting a lot of negative publicity lately. Mostly due to her recent trip to rehab and attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. A few weeks ago, Lohan dodged felony grand theft charges. A claim had been filed stating Lindsay stole clothing from a woman's house. However, there was inadequate evidence to justify prosecution.

Named as the top placeholder of Maxim's "Hot 100" list, Lohan keeps raking in all the attention she can get, via her looks or her ignorant behavior. This 20-year-old celebrity seems to be taking the wrong path to stardom. While her movies receive good or above average ratings, her personal life has led her to fame. With Lohan's 21^st birthday right around the corner, many wondered how long it would take her to fall of the wagon.

The latest bombardment of problems for Lohan should reduce her fan base; however, odds are that Lohan will stay at the top of celebrity news. Is this the type of person parents what their children to look up to? Growing up in a different time, our parents idolized people such as Neil Armstrong and John F. Kennedy. People with morals and good characters. No one paid much attention to those who preferred a life filled with chaos, crime, and addictions. Those people were avoided and dismissed as useless. So why are today's teens drawn more to Lohan, instead of dropping her adoration like a bad habit?

Where Lohan is headed.
