La La La LINDSAY...is Back Bitchez!

Celebutante DeJoure
LINDSAY MuthaF*#^K'N LOHAN
INTERVIEW Magazine
February 2009
MOST of you have NO Clue that LINDSAY LOHAN, is, and always has been one of my FAVORITE Celebutantes of All-Time. There's Christina Aguilera, Lenny Kravitz, Pharrell and LINDSAY. Yea...That's RIGHT.
Ive been a supporter of Lindsay's through the HEIGHT of her FAME during the Mean Girls/ Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen Era, a la 2003/2004, as well as her Major Stints in Rehab for Drug and Alcohol Addictions.
I LOVE HER, for her Beauty, Style, On-Screen Personality and Media Angst, as well. YES...I admit that the Cocaine, Cigarette, Paparazzi Chase Drama, gives me FEVER.
I have EVERY SINGLE Magazine in which Lindsay graced the cover; 2006-2008.
Recently, Lindsay sat down with a reporter for INTERVIEW, and addressed a few issues that have been plaguing her, as of recently. I LOVE the Raw and Real essence of her answered details....
LL: I just feel as though it's become a situation where people have manifested this caricature of who I am, and they act as if there's no real person inside of it. I mean, people really have come to believe-directors, producers, agents, whoever it may be-that I started in this because I wanted to be a celebrity. But that was never my intention.

LH: You were a kid when you started working.

LL: I wanted to be a movie star. But movie stars are not what they used to be. When I was a kid, I thought movie stars were women and men who were in these great films that we still look at now. But I don't think there are too many films coming out these days that we're going to look at in the future and say, "This is one of the great ones." Like, what is the great film that I will tell my children about? I'm still going to tell them about the old films, the Hitchcock films. And people my age don't even know who those people are. I can't even have a conversation with most people of my generation about that, because they'd be like, "Okay, she's a freak. Something's wrong with her." And the worst part is, in terms of what people see of me, I have become this girl who just loves to be photographed, doesn't know how to focus, doesn't know how to work on set, just loves the attention, knows how to go out at night, knows how to party. And you know what? I was 20 years old. I never went to college. And I lived maybe six months out of my life like that, doing something wrong, and then I stopped. God forbid I should have ever learned my lesson. But at this point it's so hard for people to even believe that there was a lesson to be learned at all, because they just think I'm wrong. All these people think I'm never going to be right, because it's more interesting to fabricate this other girl. Who wants to read a tabloid story about a girl who is doing well?

LH: Or a girl who takes her responsibilities seriously.

LL: I mean, it's this business. Heath Ledger once said something about this to me. He said: "It's build you up to knock you down, and that's all it is. And you just have to see if you can stand through it." And it is like that, if you put yourself in this situation. I was young, so maybe I did . . . I always wanted to take the blame. I've always been apologetic for other people's faults.

LH: But part of that is what being young is about.

LL: And I didn't even try everything. I was too afraid. The one thing I tried was the wrong thing. And maybe it was just because I'd seen someone else in my family do it-not my mother. But, I don't know, it really . . . It sucks.

Wealth for Life in The New Year

As I flew from Baltimore to here in Los Angeles, over the weekend, I began reading the new, January 2009 issue of Black Enterprise Magazine. The ABOVE COVER is NOT the Latest Edition.

As I am in the process of reorganizing and stabilizing my finances for 2009, I thought it would be a great part of this initial plan to place myself on a path that is followed by many others who presently live financially comfortable lifestyles.

I wanted to share with ALL of my Socialites and Celebutantes, the 10 Step Principles created by The Editors of Black Enterprise, as a method of solidifying your Financial Futures.

The 10 Wealth for Life Principles
  • I Will Live Within My Means
  • I Will Maximize My Income Potential through Education and Training
  • I Will Effectively Manage My Budget, Credit, Debt and Tax Obligations
  • I Will Save at least 10% of My Income.
  • I Will Use Homeownership as a Foundation for Building Wealth
  • I Will Devise an Investment Plan for My Retirement Needs and Children's Education
  • I Will Ensure that My Entire Family Adheres to Sensible Money Management Principles
  • I Will Support the Creation and Growth of Minority-Owned Businesses
  • I Will Guarantee My Wealth is Passed on to Future Generations through Proper Insurance and Estate Planning.
  • I Will Strengthen My Community through Philanthropy.
