Nah, not really. I believe the exact quote contained the word “can”, not “will”. Yet, it makes good news to spin bullsh*t out of thin air. I’m not going to go either way on this. In my opinion, it’s up to everyone to read meaning in someone else’s words. Not to mention the words of an airhead like Lindsay Lohan, my god. She couldn’t be subtle if her life depended on it. From Us Magazine:

“Lindsay Lohan, who was once linked to Heath Ledger and was spotted crying after his passing, is speaking out on the late actor’s death.

In the new issue of New York magazine, the actress, 21, poses nearly naked for a recreation of “The Last Sitting,” the last series of photos of Marilyn Monroe.

Lohan calls Monroe’s suicide “tragic,” adding, “you know, it’s also tragic what just recently happened to someone else.”

Asked if she’s referring to Ledger, Lohan replies, “They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone.”

Still, the star, who’s been in rehab three times, insists she will not end up like them.

“I’m not them … I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me,” she tells the magazine.

Ledger died of a prescription drug overdose last month. He was in the middle of shooting his final film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell have recently signed on the replace him.”

Personally, I think Lohan, if she were blaming the industry, would be exactly right. Most people won’t argue that the business itself is nothing but a Mecca for criminals and prostitutes. It’s true; over the years there have been several Hollywood suicides, and deaths related to cosmetic surgery.

Well, the Golden Globes weren’t so golden this year because of the writers’ strike. Alas, the awards weren’t televised because many stars stood in solidarity of the striking writers, and decided not to attend. Let’s hope the writers’ strike can be settled soon, so we can enjoy our Hollywood eye candy and see our favorite shows again. It is heartbreaking, but least there was a silver lining; we didn’t have to see yet another homemade Home Ec sewing reject outfit from the likes of Kim Basinger or Geena Davis.

Here are the winners of the Golden Globes:
Film Category
Best Motion Picture, Drama: “Atonement” (See Keira Knightly perfect her gaping mouth look).
Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama: Daniel Day-Lewis in “There Will Be Blood” (He really is a good actor. Nice to see him making movies again).
Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama: Julie Christie in “Away from Her” (And oldie, but goodie).
Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy: “Sweeney Todd” (Definitely a cut above the rest).
Best Actor, Musical or Comedy: Johnny Depp in “Sweeney Todd” (Depp seems to get great kudos in movies where he gets to use sharp objects…savvy).
Best Actress, Musical or Comedy: Marion Cotillard in “La Vie en Rose” (Edith Piaf personified).
Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture: Cate Blanchett in “I’m Not There” (Wow, from playing an elfin queen to Bob Dylan, this actress has a mighty wide range)!
Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture: Javier Bardem in “No Country for Old Men” (Anybody but John Revolta and an Affleck is fine by me. With that said, though, Javier Bardem is an incredible actor. I hope we’ll see more of him in future mainstream Hollywood movies).
Best Director: Julian Schnabel for “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”
Best Foreign Language Film: “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” (France)

Jennifer Flavin, wife of Sylvester Stallone, popularly known as “Rocky” even though, –as a side note, it kind of pisses me off that people call him that, the man has a name, gosh, –now has a lovely portrait of herself on Stallone’s enormous shoulder and bicep. Not only is that sweet, it’s kind of hot too. From TMZ:

“Rocky recently went twelve rounds with a tattoo artist, getting his real-life Adrian — Jennifer Flavin — blasted onto his beefy shoulder. What, no Mickey Goldmill?

Let’s hope the tat doesn’t turn out to be like most celebrity inkings — a huge mistake. Just ask Tom Arnold, Johnny Depp, Pamela Anderson ….”

It might be the irrepressible Southern redneck woman in me… but honestly, I have to say I think that is just the most romantic thing ever. Not to mention, if there’s a woman that ever comes after you, that bitch will have nightmares. Your face, on her man; she’ll have a mental complex constructed in under a week.
