Lindsay Lohan in the News

By Dylan Richkards

Lindsay has been in showbiz since she was 3. You would think that she would be use to the pressure by now. Ever since she was legal to drink, is seems her world is spiraling downward.

As a New Yorker, Lindsay's first gig was at three years old as a Ford model. After which she appeared in over 60 TV commercials until 1996. It was then that Lindsay first appeared as an "actress" on Another World.

Her next major debut was in 1998 in the remake of the film the Parent Trap. Her next big hit was in 2003 with Freaky Friday. It seems from then things started getting a little out of control. In 2004 Lindsay moved to LA

It didn't take Lindsay long to pick a fight with Hillary Duff over heartthrob Aaron Carter. Later in 2004, Lindsay got into another feud with the Simpson sisters over Wilmer Valderrama from That 70's Show.

Lindsay admitted in 2005 that she was a victim of belemia which caused her to lose a lot of weight. Lindsay was just then releasing "Mean Girls," which took her to the next level.

In 2005, Lindsay was part of two car crashes that were caused by the paparazzis. And in 2006, she received a letter stating that she was being unprofessional and showing up to work late. Later on Lindsay broke her wrist while at a New York night club.

In December of 2006, Lindsay took part in some AA meetings. And the following year she was arrested twice for drunk driving charges. Lindsay was sentenced to an 18 month alcohol education program, a community service order as well as one day in jail.

Lindsay has been trying to fly under the radar since then. She is now filming "Labor Pains" which is speculated to have a fairly large release. Her next progress hearing is set for January 2009. - 15359
