Lindsay Lohan's March to Irrelevance

Actress Lindsay Lohan appeared in a Beverly Hills courtroom today for failing to appear for a scheduled hearing Thursday, violatig her probabtion agreement stemming from a 2007 DUI. Lohan's excuse was that she was stranded in France, where she had been attending the Cannes Film Festival and snorting cocaine, because of a stolen passport.

Lohan, dressed in a blazer and low cut top which most certainly did not have the desired effect Judge Martha Revel, showed up seven minutes late to the hearing. She was ordered to wear a alcohol monitoring device, submit to drug tests, and attend alcohol education classes for which she can only miss if one conflicts with a random drug test between now and her next hearing on July 6th.

Place your bets on what happens first:

1. The alcohol monitoring device marks her as off the charts drunk.
2. She fails drug test.
3. She misses an alcohol education class.

Lohan will not make it fiveweekswithout one of these things occurring. Bonus points if she misses the hearing in July.

The problem with Lohan, aside from being the result of bad pareting, is that she still thinks she is a big enough star to get away with her behavior. But she is on the verge of irrelevance. She is not making people in the business enough money to put up with her antics. She is not much of asexsymbol these days, either. The older shegets, the fewer peope are going to care about her. It isashame herstar is going to burn out--literally--at the youg age of 23.

I cannot hold the justice system blameless, either. It keeps giving lohan chance after chance which she has failed miseraly at utilizing. Lowlier drug and alcohol offenders would have been thrown in the pokey long ago. No wonder she feels above the law.
