Why Lindsay Lohan is making a comeback

Well, it’s always nice to see positive press about Lindsay Lohan, isn’t it? E! Online published a piece about why Lindsay Lohan is on the way back up!

She could be on the right track toward becoming big business again, or at least more respected. And unlike her peers Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson and Britney, everyone agrees that LiLo can act.

Here’s why they see Lindsay making a comeback:

  • That Marilyn Monroe photoshoot – done by the original photographer, Bert Stern. That was an honor, and a lot of work.
  • She’s working on her 3rd album
  • She’s to star in Manson Girls
  • Also, she’s to star with Jack Black in Ye Olde Times
  • Box-office and PR experts say Lindsay is doing fine right now
  • The potential gains to hiring Lindsay outweigh any negative press. Jeff Bock, off-office analyst says:

    • "the potential gains are more than the losses in terms of her talent and in terms of what she can bring to the table."

So, can Lindsay Lohan recover from her past mistakes? Hell, yeah!

    Hey Tinkerbell, sorry I didn’t intend on raining on your Parade at all! I just think Alot of ppl here make very big statements & its really alot for Lindsay to live up to & its really disappointing that then things are going so slow. I mean, Im soooo glad everything is on track for her but I find it bizarre that some ppl here keep going on about what a big year 2008 will be for LL with Oscar material coming her way- sorry I’d LOVE that to happen but I’m happy just to see her being successful now, sober, looking so pretty & let things gradually come to her & none of us will get disappointed or give LL’s detractors reason to gloat, shes only 21 after all whats the rush?

    yes roll on patty and jp…I agree it will take time, but all Im saying is how do you all know that linds wont just get the perfect role and bam! she gets nominated for an oscar! I know how slim the chances are, but we dont no. All lindsay has to do is get a box-office hit and then everything changes! why do we have to be delusional just because we wanna think positive? man, all of that analyzing, thinking about all that stuff linds did last year, how hard its gonna be for her to get back on top, that isn’t gonna help us or lindsay at all. it just makes you kind of sad, because your like d**n, is she ever gonna get back to the top again? saying all that positive stuff sends off a positive vibe and for minute makes you forget how bad things are. Im sure linds has to try to think about the positives more than the negatives to keep her motivated sometimes. besides all the bulls**t lifes great! stuff may not work out with linds and movies but I know that faith helps. and my mom says the more you speak stuff the better chance thats gonna happen. like If everyone keeps saying and believing she’ll overdose. haters say it all day.hey they may make it happen. So why cant we the fans say good stuff like shell when oscars and be the queen of hollywood one day. man, we might actually speak it in to life! she has all the potential! all Im saying is, saying positive stuff is just always gonna be better than talking about negative stuff cuz its puts you in a good mood, and gives you a little bit of hope. especially for the linds fans and lindsay. we just all wanna feel like its not completely over for her and share how much we support and believe in her. i personally think linds can accomplish anything if she really wants it. If she doesn’t actually want to be sober this time, like she said she wont. its how bad you wanna be sober that keeps you clean. as I’ve read her interviews, its come to me that she wants it bad. she seemed real, like shes serious. but hey, well just have to wait and see how everything turns out.

    I’ll disagree, Patty, in that Hollywood and public opinion can turn on a dime. If she plays a role that somehow is deemed worthy of Oscar recognition, it’ll be like this big surprise and the public, and the Academy love surprises.

    It is disheartening to be a fan while most everyone else tends to write her of as “worthless skank with nice boobs” (direct quote). Hence why this article, or gossip column thing was nice to read since it give an insider view on Lindsay and she’s not so bad off as the above quote.

    It will take work, though. I’m not sure if her next couple projects will do it, but I’ve been patient since 2003 that she’ll do something superlative and I will continue to be patient.

    JP I will be accused of being a hater once more but I think ur comment was 1 of the most articulate & objective I’ve seen here in a long time about LL’s career. I wish it was as easy as some fans believe for Lindsay to be taken seriously but it just doesn’t work like that, especially when you get such a bad name prfessionally as Lindsay. We all know how talented she is but getting recognised as more than a party girl is gonna be waaay harder than just doing a Marilyn shoot or going thru Rehab. I agree with your comment as I see u recognise LL’s talents & how different she is to Hilton et al & I wish other readers here wouldn’t be offended by your comment, u are just being realistic & I know Lindsay can do it, she has bags of talent but it WILL take time, regardless of how long it takes she will get there!

    Good for lindsay that she is geting her
    life back on track u rox Lindsay and dnt 4gt that luv ya Linds.

    Dave you said it all so far, but I’ll add one line, I having scanned the net for any ” NEW ” instances of her passing out from drinking, haven’t found so much as ONE reference to current after rehab ( this latest round ) Passing out ANYWHERE, so that reference is simply not true. I will always accept true criticism of my Incomparable Lindsay D Lohan, but not deliberate mis-truths, and half-truths, the commenter is just a half tone that does that. Shame Shame. AS for Oscars, and SAG Awards, that comes from truly defining film roles, but even there that comes under unfair judgements from the film industry critics, Her role in Georgia Rule, was a masterpiece, an A-List performance, and the Film, by Gary Marshall did not get just critique from his own peers !!! They did him dirty, not just Lindsay ! And in putting down the film, they also diminished the message, which was that child abuse sexually ion this country and others, by parent step parent or guardian, is at near epidemic proportions, and needs to be addressed, seriously, as a nation. We can fight to save the whales, big Mamals, that live in the sea, we can fight to save trees, big vegetables that live on land, we can fight to have no real furs, from animals that we feed house and shelter for that purpose, breed more than would exist naturally, some might even have already been selected by nature for extinction, had we not intervened, but Save our Children ? no lets sweep that problem under the rug, that’s dirty laundry we can’t afford to expose, because it demeans us in the eyes of the world, so the problem goes on and on. I can’t help wonder how many of Marshal’s peers are guilty of just said sexual abuse of their own children ? perhaps they did not want this movie to make spotlights on their behavior ? so they pan it, and hope the topic will quietly go away. I hope it will get louder and Louder, just to confound them all.
    GOD Bless You Always, Lindsay D Lohan, I Love You Always, me, Larry T Robinson, O.R. Tn. and as a p.s. I hope you have a movie role this year, that goes over the top, without you having to take yours off to get it there, and gets YOU an Oscar. !!!! Go Lindsay in 2,008, a whole lot of Year yet left to be Wildly Successful in !!!!

    JP,which stands for Judgemental Prevaricator(prevaricate means to speak misleadingly or lie)…just when i had gotten used to all the positivity of the many fans on this fabuLLous fansite,you had to show up,and attempt to rain on my parade of goodwill towards this beautiful,hugely talented,and incomparable triple threat performer,and everyone was on my wavelength,so i will NOT let you leave your judgemental and sanctimonious drivel without exposing you for the wolf in sheeps clothing that you are.everybody makes mistakes,some more than others,but here,in america,we get a second,sometimes a third,chance to make amends,turn it around,get back in the saddle and get the job done.you see,in this great country,everybody loves a comeback,a phoenix rising from the ashes,that pick yourself up by your bootstraps attitude,it’s the can-do attitude of this great country.so,jp,you can take your senseless and defeatist drivel back to dlisted/perezhole where you belong,and i’ll remind you that this is a fansite,where fans hang out to positively exchange thoughts,ideas,and hopes about their favorite entertainment personality,the incomparable miss Lindsay Lohan,regardless of her personal issues,and the lies/rumors/haters of the smearNET and trashloid media.as the great Meryl Streep says in ‘the devil wears prada’,”that’s all!”
    LLove you,miss Lohan.LLove always,a huge fan and friend.peace

    Im sorry but some of the fans here are a little bit delusional. She is NOT going to win an oscar ANY time soon. It’ll be at least 7-10 before she’s recognized at that level. Lest we forget that less than a year ago this girl was involved in scandal after scandal after scandal not to mention 3 trips to rehab and a drug habit. If they give her an oscar in the next 3 years it would humiliate the oscars because this girl HAS NOT done any roles that have carried here since mean girls (and if the fans want, i’ll recognize georgia rule – even though she was extremely rude and uncooperative during shooting, something the academy im sure shuns). She’d need to build up an impressive resume to wipe clean her slate of bad problems because right now she is still percieved not as an “actress” but as a “party girl” just like p.hilton and spears and the others. Lets not forget that linds was there dancing the night away with them 5 times a week, getting in trouble w/the law just like them, doing drugs just like/with them and even flashing her crotch, just like them. I think that given her dumb choices the past two years and who she’s hung out with (like calum best who got her hooked on cocaine since before him she wasn’t a heavy drug user) it is valid to compare her to those other fools (hilton,spears,richie). Lohan has talent, but unfortunatly it has been put on the backburner and substituted for a hard partying lifestyle and she needs to be on the straight and narrow for the nest COUPLE OF YEARS if she’s going to regain some of that praise she used to get years ago. And i for one think 2008 will be another problematic year for her since she’s back to drinking and partying excessively (and there is a video of her online collapsing she’s so drunk….thats just sad) i think something bads a brewing.
    *sigh.

    Well, that article was more interesting to me because of how it showed the industry perception of Lindsay. While it is easy to mistakenly think that modeling is easy because you just have to sit there and have your picture taken, anyone who’s been through the ordeal for, say, wedding photos and the like knows how exhausting it can be to pose for hours on end. I knew the Monroe pictures had a positive message attached, it just never occurred to me that the message might be:

    “I sat still for two weeks wearing nothing but a genie scarf while that codger played with the lights. I am ready to behave, for the love of Pete.”

    I like that. It’s funny.

    Lindsay just has to win oscars! and be the queen of hollywood. Its was she was meant to be. and we her fans support her always through whatever situation. It’s what real fans are supposed to do. Love ya linds!

    After Dave’s comment there’s not much to add.
    I hope that 2008 will be a succesfull year for Lindsay.The wheel of fortune is on the rise.
    She is gonna win that Oscar and start hitting haters on the head with it (metaphorically-or not-).

    something i forgot to add in my previous comment,is that everytime i see Lindsay in one of her roles,i feel like i am peering into her soul for a short while,a guest in her house of talent and showmanship,that for a little while,i am in the presence of greatness.no other actor,actress,celebrity,politician,singer,or entertainer makes me feel this way,period.i grow weary of all the sleazy,corrupt politicians,lipsyncer ‘singers’ with no pizzaz,’unreality stars’,unfunny ‘comedian’ hacks who steal others jokes,souless and vapid actresses and actors,and to put it plainly,i want more Lindsay!!!it’s miss Lohans world,and i’m happy to be a huge fan in it.go,Lindsay,go!!!i’m still waiting to see Chapter 27 in my local cineplex,wish i could’ve gone to NY or LA for those showings,but i can’t afford to travel at the present time.i have seen Chapter 27,a german dvd from 2007,but i still want to see it on the silver screen,and support the beautiful,unique,and incomparable Lindsay Lohan.she truly is the soul of this movie,as chapman has lost his soul in his madness.i recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of character acting,losing yourself in the role,and all fans of the diverse and multi-talented miss Lohan.LLove always,a huge fan and friend.peace

    i would like to give an example of why i am such a huge fan of the incredible and immensely talented miss Lohan.toward the end of that fabuLLous movie,Georgia Rule,there is a confrontation scene between Rachel and her mom,Lily.Rachel lies about lying,to smooth over the situation with her stepfather,and her mom leaves in shock over her daughters lies.after mom is gone,a distraught Rachel closes the door,leans back against the wall,and in obvious anguish,bangs her head off the wall repeatedly.you can feel her pain,misery,self-loathing,it is heartbreaking to see this wounded kid fighting her demons.i still get all misty everytime i see this scene,and i really connect with this character,the small town,rigid relatives,the rebellious Rachel,a great movie with great characters,morality lessons,and family ties.i cannot say enough good things about Lindsay,and it’s not just this movie,it’s all her other movies,her music,her photos,anything she puts her mind and considerable talents to.go,Lindsay,go!!!LLove you,miss Lohan.LLove always,a huge fan and friend.peace

    Lindsay deserves a comment all to herself,so i will give my opinion as to why she has NO peers,she is in a class by herself.

    go,Lindsay,go!!!

    top 10 reasons why miss Lohan owns hollywood
    1)that edgy,unpredictable verve that lights up everything around her.if you have met her,you know what i am talking about

    2)sheer range of talent,triple threat and more,acting,singing,dancing,modeling,the list goes on

    3)charisma and personality,once again,that edge and aliveness

    4)physical beauty and raw sensuality,that sense that she is so much more than just a beautiful face,in two words,’hello,gorgeous…’

    5)sheer range of emotion,expressions,and seeing that she truly IS the character she is portraying,that there is a piece of the essence that is Lindsay Lohan,in every role.

    6)the actress truly is a layered,multi-dimensional persona,capable of the raw and the refined,that the best is yet to come,and i truly get the most bang for my entertainment buck,when i see this outstanding and hugely talented personality in whatever venue.LLove you,Lindsay!!!

    7)personal style,and doing it her way,screw the haters

    8)that unique,raspy sexy voice and music

    9)a chameleon of looks,personality,style,charm,grit,danger,in other words,this unique actress can suggest and portray the good girl,the bad girl,and every shade of gray in between.this is very hard for most actresses of any note,to pull off,and the only actress currently working who can do this,is Meryl Streep,another favorite of mine.Lindsay has that rare ability to go from innocence to evil,if you’ll pardon the expression.she can be the bad girl,yet still make you like or sympathize with her,no matter how over the edge the character is.bravo

    10)Lindsay is a totally different persona in pictures,both candid and posed,then she is on film,a rare ability in performers,as she is a magnificently photogenic and preternaturally alive presence,in front of the lens.an outstanding and commanding screen presence.LL rules!!!

    LLove always,a huge fan and friend.peace

    i only disagree with one thing in this rather positive item,the line that says that parisite hilton,spears,and j.simp are her ‘peers’,puh-leeze,these no-talent tramps aren’t even in the same talent universe,much less to be said in the same sentence as Lindsay Lohan.parisite is a spoiled,vapid,talentless,silver spoon wannabe,who has the personality of a concrete block,no offense to the block.spears is a has-been lipsyncer,whose only claim to fame,was as a object of desire for pervy old men and tweeners,and totally forgetable ‘music’.j.simp is another manufactured ‘star’,devoid of talent,persona,anything even remotely interesting,just another rather dated object of desire,whatever.

    i just wanted to distance the use of miss Lohans name from those talentless slugs listed above.LLove you,Lindsay.LLove always,a huge fan and friend.peace
