Lindsay Lohan seems to be a hot topic in the news these days, and if she's hot enough for the news, she's hot enough for this blog. If I must make a post about Lindsay Lohan to get more readers, than so be it. What can you say about Lindsay Lohan? People either love her or hate her! I am part of the former camp myself. How can you possibly hate Lindsay Lohan? The girl has brought hours of joy to this otherwise miserable world. Her films are highly entertaining to watch, even if they are not for the reasons intended. In Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, she got to sing in an updated version of My Fair Lady, which contained the David Bowie song "Changes." One could see this as an insult to David Bowie, I found it rather amusing. It may be a desecration, but at least it doesn't pretend to have any significant meaning, unlike the awful Britney Spears song "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman." It is what it is, you can either enjoy it or be pained by it. In Mean Girls, she is given yet another musical number in which she sings Jingle Bell rock in a tight, short skirted Santa outfit. One could view this as painful, I found it hysterical.
There are two running themes in every Lindsay Lohan film (later films any ways):
1) All her films have a scene in which every one gets pissed off at her because of her dishonesty. In the course of each film she lies about herself to make friends. However, her lies and deceits eventually come to haunt her, and she loses every one. Realizing it was wrong to lie to all her friends, she makes it up to them by doing an extraordinary feat at the film's climax. In Drama Queen, she stars in an updated version of My Fair Lady and wins back every one's affection, while setting a washed up rocker on the right path. In Mean Girls, she wins a mathlete competition and wins the respect of her peers. In Herbie: Fully Loaded she wins not only the big race at the end, but the love of millions. Lindasy Lohan always wins in the end despite her lies, half-truths, and deceits.

2) There is always at least one scene that requires her to wear an outfit that shows off her busty figure. In theory her films are supposed to appeal to little girls, yet they seem to pander to the desires of teenaged boys and lonely old men. Lindsay Lohan is either a great teenaged actress or a barely legal, heavily dressed adult film star working in the industry. You decide.
