s her daughter’s manager, Dina received 15 percent of her earnings. She received no support from her then husband, Michael Lohan, a former Wall Street trader who spent years in jail for criminal contempt in a securities case, attempted assault, and D.U.I.
The very nature of celebrity was changing, with the advent of reality-television shows, which made “stars” of people with very little to offer except the ability to draw attention to themselves. Feeding this new Internet and tabloid gossip pipeline, L.A. nightlife became flooded with some highly ambitious young women who seemed hellbent on becoming the biggest stars of all—or “starlets,” as they were now being called— sometimes for having done nothing more than appearing on a sex tape.
“Like, I was going out almost every night,” Lindsay told me. “Because I just thought, Oh, it’s what people do. And everyone I knew was going out, so what was I gonna do, sit home by myself? So that’s why it became O.K. It became like a routine.” No wonder. “These girls would call the tabloids on each other—tell on themselves,” said the young woman who was a part of the scene. “They were always fighting for attention and over boys and stealing each other’s boyfriends.” Lindsay herself was “linked” to an improbable—and improbably long—list of conquests, including Jude Law, Jared Leto, Bruce Willis, Christian Slater, Colin Farrell, Johnny Knoxville, Benicio Del Toro, and director Brett Ratner .
“He’s put myself and my mother and my mom’s parents through so much hell,” Lindsay told me, “from the death threats to throwing shoes at my grandfather’s head and giving him a concussion to threatening to kill my mother in front of my little brother Dakota.” Bloom said Lohan “denies all these allegations.”
She said she didn’t want him there, and didn’t want him near her little sister, Ali, who was in the courtroom. “Oh, that moment where I turned and she was crying—it was heartbreaking.” Her voice cracked and she gasped a little to keep from crying. “I think everyone has their own addictions and hopefully learns how to get past them,” she said. “I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life.” Her 2005 hit single, “Confessions of a Broken Heart ,” asked, “Tell me the truth, did you ever love me?”
But more than anything, it seemed to harm Lindsay, whose professional reputation was already in tatters. That same year, 2007, the problems of her post-D.U.I. rehab schedule reportedly caused producers to pull the plug ona crime comedy set to co-star Shirley MacLaine and Olympia Dukakis. In April of this year, Lindsay was fired from the filma fantasy adventure starring Woody Harrelson, when financiers reportedly became worried about her continued bankability.
She said, “It reminded me of all the women in the world that are in these relationships with men where they’ve become so afraid to leave, or are so co-dependent they lose sight of who they are or how powerful they can be.” I asked her if this was something that had ever happened to her. “Yes,” she told me.
“I’ve lost enough for all that I’ve worked for. And I’ve been working really hard,” she said. “I’ve been very diligent in all the work that I do and very hands-on.” “The story behind fashion should never be the issue,” she said. “It’s about the product, the quality of the clothing, and if you like it or not. I don’t think about not buying a piece of clothing because someone got arrested.”called Lindsay’s turn as artistic adviser for Emanuel Ungaro “an embarrassment” and a “train wreck.” According toa runway show of her designs, which was staged at the Louvre during Paris Fashion Week, left “several people in the audience aghast.
“Once you’re famous, there’s always a way to make money,” said one of the paparazzi. “She might not be doing what she’d like to be doing, but she’ll always be Lindsay Lohan.”Underground Movie: 2010,“The things that girls must do...:/ if you only knew,” she tweeted in June.’d talked to Lindsay and to a lot of people about Lindsay—none of whom would agree to let me quote them by name. “She’s Hollywood kryptonite right now,” said a movie publicist.
