    Ten years from now, Lindsay Lohan will be lucky if she can get a spot in Dakota Fanning's entourage.

    That Jennifer Lopez tape is going to be hot. This is before she was stumbling over her dancers with 15 to bad movies on her IMDB. The time frame of the tape is arguably her prime and by extension, her butt's prime.

    @jasonelias: I thought it was going to be a present-day tape of her and Skeletor, and I was thinking, "Why the fuck did she wait this long?"

    Both the headline and the Victoria "Ground Cumin" Beckham item are signs from God that I should make my delicious leftover turkey tacos for dinner tonight.

    Wow, now I need to become a famous celebrity chef, so I can write a memoir revealing how my first venture into haute cuisine involved roasting and eating my baby brother.

    I love Gawker specifically for the snark I can't get anywhere else, and while I definitely got a few laughs from the timeline of crazy (can't WAIT for the Suri Cruise memoir), I still think it's a bit much to place blame on Mackenzie Phillips by positioning her as a famewhore.

    Obviously this has made her "relevant" again, and will make her a lot of money, but this woman was a victim of rape by her father at the age of 19. She was also (uncomfortably, she admits) in a long-term incestuous relationship that was founded on drug use. I simply cannot place blame on her. She's too messed up to be seen as anything other than a victim.

    I will, however, place blame on her publisher and on Oprah, who sure picked up this story quickly. There are a lot of way to cope, but publishing a book? I can only hope this was an emotional release for her in some way.

    @chickachicka: Think of it this way- everyone knows that Mackenzie Phillips has had a long, horrific battle with drugs. Everyone knows that her dad was her partner in her addiction, and in many ways facilitated it. WHY do we need to know this? We don't. She does not need to write a book about this to heal or stay sober. When Rehab programs talk about "rigorous honesty" , they are not talking about shit like this.

    @chickachicka: i'm a bit torn with all of this.
    part of me thinks she is just a crazy junkie who needs to sell books/garner attention (hell, her own sister had to get her own spread in US Weekly over this story this week....makes you wonder what kind of support she has ever gotten from her family)
    but the other half of me just cannot believe someone would make all this up. i think she finally went to rehab (after last year's embarrassing arrest) and is finally admitting why she has been so fucked up.
    but seriously, is this cathartic? i don't think so. i think it's a small piece of a very sad puzzle. this poor woman will never be healthy and normal - because of her own actions and because of the actions of BOTH of her parents. it's tragic as all hell.

    This Phillips person has the distinct look of some I have known who have been abducted by aliens for Satanic Sexual Abuse. The resemblance is uncanny. Like Downs Syndrome almost.

    So because the topic is uncomfortable and shows the dark side of drug use, you write an article to poke fun at her revelation. Perhaps, confronting and acknowledging the situation will allow her to recover. This is tasteless.
