So the kids were watching "Herbie: Fully Loaded" on TV today, and I saw enough of it to start thinking about Lindsay Lohan. No, no, no...not THAT way! Anyhoo, it occurred to me that had she played her cards differently, she could've been occupying the same strata as Jessica Alba right now--universally lusted over, generally liked amongst the American public, having some renown w/ her peers... I mean, look back at Herbie, Mean Girls, Parent Trap, etc... the girls got acting chops. And she's got--or at least HAD--a killer body at one point, with great tits and a firm ass. Pretty face, nice smile, and the red hair to top it off! Also, in her earlier work, she played characters who were LIKEABLE, so the audience wanted to like her. These are all qualities that Jessica Alba currently has, and she's got her choice of projects at any given time, plus an adoring public. Instead, Lindsay went the Britney/Paris route, and is now a joke--a mere parody of her former self, career-wise. What a waste! What once was! What currently is.
The chick in my av still comes across as more likeable than Britney or Lindsey or Paris. Lohan could've been a real player in tinsel-town, but she coked it away.
Jessica Alba is renowned? Honestly, I don't think it's too late. Her personal life aside, she's still a hell of an actress. If the media had been then what it is now, Elizabeth Taylor would have looked just as bad in her prime, if not worse.
After seeing Carnal Knowledge again a few weeks ago, I completely agree with Forbin's assessment that good-looking Lohan was practically an Ann Margaret clone. Now? More like Nicholson or Garfunkel.
Yup, what Shooter said. With her acting and singing talent, and her utterly breathtaking pre-coke looks, she could have been her generation's Ann-Margaret. She fucked it up BIG time.
She's getting herself back in shape, I think. Maybe she's not as stupid as she seemed for a while there.
Was Jessica Alba a Disney girl growing up? Disney has a reputation for raising pretty little girls and them becoming HYUGE skanks the second they turn 18.
This video is a few months old, but they were playing it on Entertainment Tonight today for some reason. http://funnyvideooftheday.blogspot.com/2009/04/lindsay-lohans-video-profile-on.html She's damn hot there, and I'd hit it.
