Female Beauty

The “Bobby” star, Lindsay Lohan, 20, has revealed that she’s been going to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings for a year, but hasn’t talked about it because “it’s no one’s business,” she told People magazine in a Dec. 12 interview, “I haven’t had a drink in seven days. Or anything. I’m not even legal to, so why would I? I don’t drink when I go to clubs. I drink with my friends at home, but there’s no need to. I feel better not drinking. It’s more fun. I have Red Bull. I didn’t feel bad before. I never felt bad. I just wanted to, like, find a balance. I was out too much. I was too caught up. I mean, I’m 20 years old. I was off from work, I was getting ready to start a film, and I was like going out just to get it out of my system. I was going out too much and I knew that, and I have more to live for than that.”

Lohan also said she hopes to shift the focus from her partying to her career. “I was like, I don’t want to be written about at these clubs with these people. I work, I act, I have a living. That’s what I do every day. I work every single day.”
The next year will see Lohan in a number of films including A Prairie Home Companion, Bobby, Chapter 27 and Georgia Rule. Another big project she has in hand is The Best Times of Our Lives, where she will play Caitlin, the wife of poet Dylan Thomas.

As someone who has been through the AA grind, Lohan has some advice to offer those trying to ditch addictions. “Don’t do it for someone else. Do it for you, because if you do it for someone else you’re going to relapse. It’s not going to be a change. You have to really do something if you want to do it. If it doesn’t work, you’re not meant to.”

Last week, Lohan sent a rambling e-mail to friends, which was published in the New York Post, saying that she was going to clean up her image and take on the media with the help of a friend, former Vice President Al Gore.

“Al Gore will help me. He came up to me last night and said he would be very happy to have a conversation with me. If he [Gore] is willing to help me, let’s find out. Hilary [sic] Clinton, Bill Clinton, and Evan Metroplis [sic], and John Daur who works with them would be willing, if we just ask. If we just ASK,” Lohan wrote in a letter riddled with misspellings.

In her e-mail, Lindsay goes on to mention a tabloid report claiming she had overdosed on drugs’. Let’s sue the tabloids for saying the things they say. Defamation of character,” the e-mail reads.

The actress proceeds to state her desire to “release a politically/morally correct, fully adequite [sic] letter to the press,” adding she wants to voice her opinions on “how our society should be educated for the better of our country. Our people . . . because I have such an impact on our younger generations, as well as generations older than me. Which we all know and can obviously see.”

In the e-mail, Lindsay also mentions taking someone she refers only to as “LR” to court for “what she’s done to me.”
“It’s my life. I want to live it. People cannot lie and think that it is okay to continue on having done so. I have had many ups and downs, as do we all. But to make false accusations to one girl is unjust in my opinion. I am willing to do anything I need to get my life the way it should be,” the e-mail continued.

Lindsay concludes that she wants to “hold a press conference” and “will do anything necessary to do so,” adding that she is at “such a young and tender age in a woman’s life. It’s enough already, I’ve had enough and I am going to be the one to make a change.”

Sloane-Zelnik refused to comment on the letter, though she did not deny that it had come from her client.

However, when Access Hollywood contacted Gore’s office for a comment on Lindsay’s e-mail, plans seemed to be anything but firm.
“I can confirm for you that Mr. Gore has only met Ms. Lohan once, very briefly, at the GQ Men of the Year dinner last week. There were hundreds of other guests,” said rep for Gore.
Lohan’s e-mail came just weeks after she released an odd statement in response to the death of director Robert Altman, whom she worked with in “A Prairie Home Companion.” It’s “as if I’ve just had the wind knocked out of me and my heart aches,” Lohan wrote, describing the 81-year-old director as the “closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I’ve had in several years.” The statement concluded with, “Thank You, BE ADEQUATE, Lindsay Lohan”
