Lindsay Lohan Supermarket

by Arieanna on August 22nd, 2007

Lindsay Lohan briefly steps out of her Utah rehab to go to the supermarket yesterday - I was just about to blur the photo, when I noticed that the peeps in the photo were not other patients, but Lindsay Lohan’s siblings! All three there to support her:

    I just always used to believe that rehab was not supposed to be an enjoyble experience of leaving the facility to do outside activities. I thought the experince is supposed to be difficult and mentally challenging. Instead of leaving rehab feeling greatful for being released or more informed as an adult on how to make the right choices all these celebrities seem to care about is how their “rehab” stint appeared to the media. Just because you say that you believe white is black does that make it true. In the case of celebrities this is the type of denial that they are displaying. In so very few cases has a celebrity actually stated “I made a mistake” or “I need help”, and in even fewer cases have I heard of a celebrity stating that “I need to suffer the consequnses for my actions.” For someone who has completely pushed the rules a few too many times I feel no sympathy for their desperate not guilty pleas. If you are going to take part in illegal activities, no matter who you are, one should always be aware of the potential consequenses of their actions. In general I am so disapointed in celebrity “role models” unability to take responsibility for their own actions. How can celebrities be so irresponsible for their own actions? The real victims in the situation are not the celebrities, but the poor children who look up to these celebrities.

    Is there a ring in her ringfinger? She looks so good and I’m glad her siblings are there to support her.

    Man, all you peeps who adore this girl are very lost. You don’t have the right perspective. Great, she’s in “rehab” and her family is there to support her, it’s what they’re supposed to do. Sad to say she’s another spoiled, selfish and uncaring person who unfortunately has a lot of money because she was lucky enough to get started in movies at a very young age. If my next door neighbor, who is comparable to Lindsay in many ways, was in the same “pickle” as Lindsay, they’d fine her, slap the cuffs on her, throw her in jail and that’s that. But, nooooo, all you can say is: “poor Lindsay, she has it so tough, boo hoo!” That girl needs to learn a lesson. First of all the image she puts out to the younger audience who look up to her is AWFUL! If I was to feel sorry for her, it would’ve been 20 years form now when she made the same mistake after she suffered a major tragedy. But she got caught twice w/in 2 months! C”mon, give me a break. If she’s a true person, who is truly sorry for what she had done, there would’ve never been a second time. What’s it going to take for her to fully realize her potential to cause a catastrophe? Vehicular manslaughter? She’s old enough and “worldly” enough to just say “NO”. We all have the freedom in this great nation of ours to have the right to choices. She’s abusing the system because she’s a celebrity, just like all the other idiots out there in Hollywood World that take advantage of their status because people liked their act at the movies. Tsk, tsk, tsk, shame on all of you for idolizing this girl and giving to her undeserved devotion. You think she would come to your rescue, you, the undying fan, if you were in trouble? She’ll get to pay a fine and do community service. And then she’ll get kudos for the work she did in community service. Shame, what a waste.

    Dear “concerned parent”,

    To the extent that your “concern” is genuine for the safety of your children (or the children of others) or anyone who may (heaven forbid) somehow come into the path of harm’s way due to Lindsay’s (or ANYONE’S) irresponsible behavior — you have my complete agreement.

    However you seem not to have caught on that many of the fans in this post fully recognize the transgressions, mistakes, errors in judgment, etc. which MAY — or may NOT — have been made by Lindsay — depending on which ones REALLY happened. We know she is not perfect — and for us, she does not have to be.

    Also, we fully realize that there are conditions surrounding her personal life, health and career which require immense support (which has been greatly lacking, given difficulties in her family) and maturity — to which she is only now beginning to attain. How many 21-year old’s do you know who are required to manage business contracts, schedules, work, publicity, incessant media hounding, difficulties of a split family in which there are financial complications as well as emotional ones — while attempting to find meaningful, caring relationships in an environment that can only be described as self-seeking, hostile and predatory?

    We support her on the basis of both her genuine talent as an actress as well as out of personal affection for her as PERSON — not as an idol. We feel concern for her as a developing, struggling young woman– not “sorry” for her. We do not idolize, we support. Many of us would gladly tell her when she’s being “dumb” — given the opportunity — because we care. People who care don’t let the people they care about do dumb things. If actual evidence warrants “jail time” — we will not contest it. And we will support Lindsay through it, with the greatest concern that she become fully cognizant of the gravity of her actions, and make the necessary changes to remedy them.

    We do, however, stringently contest the presuppositions of guilt, or that there is culpability which has somehow been avoided due to “special favors” — when in fact there has been none.

    So if (when) you know FOR A FACT that Lindsay has been “let off the hook” (i.e. not punished for some crime that she ACTUALLY committed) — then I may consider your “complaint”. Until then you are placed — along with SO MANY OTHERS — in the position of conjecture and conspiracy along with those who idolize presuppositions and give them their “undeserved devotion”. There is but one word which adequately describes this position (dave — would you care to give us the … word?)

    Do I think she would ” … come to your rescue, you, the undying fan, if you were in trouble?” What an odd question — why would I want to think that? I’m not sure that I would think any celebrity would — necessarily. However, while not visiting their “undying” fans, other celebrities have done that sort of thing for some of their “dying” fans (notably — children with cancer). You know — SHE MIGHT! Lindsay is like that — she probably would, if she knew, and if she could. What makes you think she wouldn’t?

    To the extent that anyone idolizes ANYONE — celebrity or otherwise — and gives them “devotion” — undeserved or otherwise — they have my sympathy — and concern. Only God should be worshipped — and that without idolatry in any form.

    But to support someone in love — that is not idolatry — it’s simply being His Hands, His Heart, and His Feet in a world He Created and Loves — and that includes Lindsay.

    … and that includes you, concerned parent.

    dave — thanks — I KNEW you would have just the right ‘word’ to fill in the blanks — just when I couldn’t quite come up with one on my own ;-)

    Thanks guys — and Arieanna — I appreciate how we hang in here together for our Lindsay — you guys are a great support to me too when things start getting confusing (happens a lot where Lindsay and the media are concerned!)

    We’ll just keep on keeping on for our gal — I hope she can continue to stay on track — despite the influx of the paps (I was so hoping that Utah would not be as “camera-’friendly’ as LA)

    At least she’s not in LA!!! That may be one of the best things going for her. Now if we can just keep LA out of UT.

    GREAT NEWS TODAY!! But only the beginning of the rest of her life — she will always need the best friends and fans she can find !!!

    (that’d be us, right guys?)

    Lindsay — God has blessed!!!

    Take time to thank HIM —

    — and take even more time to get to KNOW HIM — WHO LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANYONE EVER CAN — FOREVER!

    In His Love, as always, your Affectionate Fan!

    to that saintly concerned parent character…
    your opinion is so much blather,but i would like to address the ‘idolizing’ line at the end.i actually met miss Lohan at trl,times sqare,in nov2005,myself and hundreds of fans packed in for her ‘confessions’ release.she signed my oct04 GQ mag,said hi and said thanks for being a fan when i said i really loved Mean Girls,and i was forever hooked.she was so real and alive in that brief couple of minutes,and in her performance on stage,and i truly am a huge fan,and she WILL get through this madness and emerge the star she was meant to be.so,you can just take your judgemental and vindictive rhetoric and go worship the devil or david koresh’s ghost in the sahara desert or whatever.who are you to preach your sanctimonious drivel at people who like someone for their talent,drive,beauty,etc,i’m a fan and you can take your reactionary,knee-jerk saintliness and stick it.bye now.love you,miss Lohan.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace
    p.s. i wish i could get one of those ‘love me some lohan’ t-shirts,take a polaroid of myself wearing it,and mail that pic to your sanctimonious derriere.nuff said

    Hi Guy’s, been reading these posts to catch up, I am a late night person, was busy this afternoon, still trying to digest all the import of this day. ( Yesterday now) Nolo Contendere ( I had to look up the Spelling) ” A Plea in a criminal prosecution by which the Defendant announces His ( or Her) intention not to contest the Action. ” In short, I may be Guilty or Not, but You Bring the Charges, I won’t contest them. as a Plea, this is better than some, but I still think she could have beaten the driving charge in the second case, 2 counts were dropped, wonder which Arrest they were dropped from ? probably the July incident. I applaud Lindsay’s decision to take responsibility for her actions in this matter, She felt the Burden of Guilt, a terrible weight to bear on your Soul, so this gets rid of that ( Or at least eases it Tremendously). GOOD You Go Woman\Girl, But I can’t help but feel that She could have beaten the second DUI out-right !! Sigh….. now we’ll never know, However one Bright Lining in all this ; Lindsay Has Taken Responsibility, for her Addiction, something we ALL wanted her to do, sort of in line with becoming an Adult !! So with the Nolo plea, and the Probation, IF ( hugh 128 point font here on that IF ) She can maintain her record during the Probation, now that the Court Action is settled in this case, Her life can get back on track much more Quickly, and it can Still in one sense has in fact in another ” All Blow Away ” as it will soon become a point of NO Interest to the Hater Trashloid Media. So maybe was a good defense after all. makes all the dark end sooner, a full blown trial would have dragged the whole mess out longer, and longer, and delays and postponements etc, could have gone on well into next year. This way Lindsay can get on with her life, in a positive way, much quicker. Hmmmmnnnn, Silver Lining in this ugly cloud??
    Well Regardless, I still Need Her, and She Still Needs Me, SO ….come see me in OR here when you get your life sorted out a little better, And I’ll help you with as much as I can. GOD Bless You Always, Lindsay D Lohan, is my Prayer for You, Always, I Love You Always, this from me, Larry T Robinson, OR Tn.

    I suppose my next concern is that, when Lindsay DOES get herself together, WHERE, and in WHOM will she find the TRUE, TRUST-WORTHY friends and support that she will need to KEEP herself together?

    A BIG part of her recent problems is that those absolutely VITAL relationships have been non-existent — not to mention the absolutely counter-productive and destructive parasitical “relationships” she has suffered!.

    How will she KNOW who she can trust — for what? She ABSOLUTELY will need protection from those whose only goal is either to feed themselves at her expense and/or bring her down. I think we have established that Lindsay is a high-profile target of satan’s activity — that is not going to go away!

    Lindsay — you need Jesus. And His people — the Church, who are called by His Name and follow Him.

    Lindsay — please — come walk with us, towards The Light, away from the darkness — one day at a time, one step at a time — from here to eternity — with Him.

    As Always, in His Love,

    Your Affectionate Fan

    Well, to all of you out there who commented on my opinion of this currently lost soul, I’m not sure how you read anywhere that I claim to be saintly, but this in itself does prove how warped peoples views can get. You seemed outraged at what I said. Good for you that you want to support this girl. Good for you that you have the gall to tell her she’s dumb. The reality of it is that she’s a big girl and has known right from wrong and her choices have obviously been to throw care in the wind. I’m glad that she got sentenced one day in jail, but it doesn’t justify the fact that had any of us been in the same predicament, you bet your bottom dollar we’d do more than one day in jail. Guess what else, she won’t be incarcerated amidst the general population. As far as Jesus is concerned, He cries for her and the fact that we ALL have been called to Him at one time or another, and yet, many turn away from Him. How sad it is to know so many people are “good” and do good works. How great to know that many pray for those who need to accept Him in their hearts and walk with Him throughout the Christian transformation that us “born again” Christians have to walk. But unless you do as mandated, when you die there’s only two places to be. I am not holier than thou, I have many things to overcome, and He knows that. What a shame that such devout support couldn’t be used for some cause that is more tangible to your surroundings or community. And I say this because the amount of time that so far has been shown to be spent on this website by you fans tells me much. And that’s not judgmental, I see it as it is. I have already wasted enough time on this subject and website. My views have not changed, unless she does an absolute transformation. Many of us have had difficult family situations. I’ve been on my own since I was 16. Did I do righteous things at all times? No. My family situation involved a raging, alcoholic mother and no father around. Am I sad or do I feel sorry for myself? Am I looking for props for not ending up in jail or any other situation? No. I chose to rise above it. Simply put this girl has the ability to do better and yet, she keeps doing wrong and everyone on this site is saying: “It’s going to be OK, you’re going to be fine!” Tell that to the many famous people who died from drug overdoses or AIDS. All I hope is that at the moment of passing, some of these famous celebrities had the chance to ask Jesus in their hearts. Otherwise, take time and pray for the lost. But celebrities as people are untouchable, even if they take a moment of their time and genuinely seem very caring and thank you for loving her. Peace to all out there. You have given me another reason to pray and no, I won’t bother you any more, and no I won’t ever visit this site nor will I know your response to this comment. I sure this will gladden many of you.

    ‘concerned parent’….what were you doing here in the first place? i am not a religious person but i respect the religious views of fans like Lindsay’s friend who has never passed ONE word in judgement of miss Lohan.your comment ticked people off because it was somewhat pious and did not take into account that not everyone can be strong against peer pressure,bad influences,bad parenting and role models,etc,and your comment did seem somewhat judgemental in its wording and context.you sure have a funny way of lording your religiousness over the troubled and less fortunate souls,regardless of their money,fame,standing in life,etc,all of which are fleeting at best.what,no response?kind of sanctimonious and cowardly that you would throw your piety out there and run from the fans who would debate you.oh well,see ya.peace

    Hello All, Once again Lindsay’s friend, Deep background, and ( not the least by any means) Dave, Have All said what we feel, and many elements of real truth in their deep thoughts. I applaud truly. ( Doing Laundry, sitting here thinking, listening to it get clean, ) To All the Rest, When as Dave pointed out, You pickup an Addiction OF ANY KIND !!! that Addiction will in some cases be a life-long battle, weather Famous, Or Incredibly Powerful, for a Created Being ( Like Myself ) That Addiction needs to be fed, psychologically, physically when dependant on substance abuse, cravings can destroy, Whether it is FOOD, for the Obese, Rich or Poor famous or a no-body Loser ( again Like ME ) ; or more Serious substances Like Illegal Drugs, Whether it is being a Pathological Liar, or being hooked on Child Porn, ALL such Addictions are very real, and can be very destructive to the individual caught up in them. Just look at all the Church -Going family men in Congress, the Senate, and House, Even Presidents and Kings, we hold them to a higher moral standerd, but at base, they are P-E-O-P-L-E, and subject to the same Lusts and Desires, as people whose lives are shattered every day by the same things, but those ” little people” you never hear about, because we deam them ” Unimportant ” by our very silence, and lack of attentiveness to their plight. Now to finish the thought thread I started earlier, This Thus is common to the Race of Man, wherever situate upon the Earth, So Being In CHRIST, does not mean you no longer sin, as some addictions, like being unforgiving, and judgemental, can take a whole lifetime of work from the Creator to remove, if even conquered then. NO Being in CHRIST, means we ARE Forgiven ( Underline that last word ) for those Sins, and we try to conquor them in the living of our daily lives. Not to say we have conquored them wholy, but the Battle has Been WON, by Christ, we simply may not have gotten to the Victory Point in our personal struggles in our Lives yet. Thus it is with Lindsay. At some point in this Struggle she will have to make a momentous Decision, if she has not yet made it. and that is to Put CHRIST On in Baptism. If she HAS done that already, then the Walk is between HER and GOD, and we her Brother and Sister Christians, now have the responsibility to pray for her if we will, A task I say that I gladly Take on, as I Love Her. If she has NOT yet Put CHRIST On in Baptism, then perhaps we should pray that she will. WE LACK INFO. SO I Pray for GODS Blessing in Her Life, ALWAYS, as it may lead to Eternal Life for Her, with HIM !! But I am also compromised in the fact that I am Personally Involved with this one, as I admit that no passing fancy, or crush, I Love Her, Outright Plain and Simple. I Love You Always Lindsay D Lohan, this from MY Hand, Larry T Robinson O.R. Tn.

    Dear concerned parent,

    Thank you for having taken time to come back at least once to share more of your views. I am gratified to know that you also walk in The Love and The Light of Our Savior. You have said so much — both in what you have said, and how you have said it. Coming from where you have, I admire your strength, and I can see how you might somewhat hold in disdain others who have not made the same choices as you have made.

    However, while I am not making excuses for (or “enabling”) Lindsay, knowing what I do about addictions, sometimes those “choices” are not so readily available. And — fortunately or unfortunately (it’s hard to know) — Lindsay’s situation is more than likely very different from your own, in many ways. Perhaps that is why it is felt that there may be some presumptuousness in some of what you have said. Also it may comfort you to know that, at least for my part, there is certainly some of my support being ” … used for some cause that is more tangible to your surroundings or community” Perhaps this is also true for others in this site as well — I know that it is most certainly true for chrissy, who has posted here before.

    I wish that we could discuss further, but you have indicated that you are not so inclined. Please feel free to change your mind and rejoin — here or in other posts — keeping in mind that this is, after all, a “fan” site. But it is one to which God seems to have called a number of His followers to come together in His Love — to join in spiritual warfare with the powers of darkness surrounding this particular celebrity.

    Anyway — thanks for having stopped by sharing a brief moment as we all move towards eternity — in His Love,

    Lindsay’s friend…maybe i was a little strong,but i am trying to make this person respond.i cannot stand somebody who will throw their rhetoric out there,and then cut and run when someone with a different viewpoint shows them up,or points out hypocrisy in their comments.i am not disdainful of my fellow man,in that i myself,am capable of doing wrong things,and have broken the law like miss Lohan,but that i don’t judge or consider myself better than my fellow man because i have made different choices than he or she.i really wish this person would respond.sometimes when i get on a rant,some really deep stuff bubbles to the surface,including things from my years under the hanging sword of addiction,and when someone makes ignorant remarks about something they clearly know nothing about,i get a little peeved and bent out of shape.i still fight against my addictive past,but i don’t judge others who haven’t yet succeeded in beating or learning to co-exist with their demons.love you,miss Lindsay,and i hope you get a handle on your demons.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace

    Yes, dave, I agree — ‘concerned parent’ did drop a few sanctimonious-sounding lines, which, while I found them mildly annoying, I can understand how they hit a raw nerve for you!

    dave — thanks for explaining that — I REALLY felt that deeper material coming to surface — but I admire the fire in you! You remind us — especially those of us who could not possibly know first hand — what a DAILY struggle it is, and how there are truly DEMONS who will NEVER leave the addict in peace.

    Thanks again for that reminder — a somber, sobering reminder of what our Lindsay faces everyday — the same demons that you know and struggle with. I am glad that Lindsay has someone with your understanding as a fan of hers — maybe she will find strength in your struggle to encourage her in her own struggle!

    dave — Peace — His Peace — be with you, comfort, and strengthen you, each moment of every day — as only He Knows how — as Only He Knows you, dave!

    Lindsay’s friend…thank you for your non-judgemental support of miss Lindsay and your seeing where my issues may parallel those of miss Lindsay.while you may not always agree with me or don’t see what i see,our opinions,experiences,and mutual support of that interesting and quite fallible human,the incomparable miss Lindsay Lohan,makes for a lively,and quite substantial debate and,or conversation.while i am not a brand-name religious person(i was brought up luthern),i do have a questioning spiritual side that will hopefully someday save me from my all-encompassing addictive past and current struggle.i see what Lindsay has faced,succumbed to,and now struggles against,maybe still in denial,but hopefully not.i was in denial of my utter hopeless condition against alcohol and occasional drug use for almost twenty years before my dui/crash caused my house of cards to come tumbling down,taking my entire world with it.it doesn’t matter how much money,fame,job recognition,accolades,standing in life,etc,you are truly alone in the morass of addiction,standing alone on the edge of a black hole of loneliness and despair,and that truly is an awful feeling.i do know what she is going through,and it pains me that someone so alive and unique is in the same boat as me.you know what really galls me about the haters?this young lady threw away her fame,reputation,career,money,etc in absolute slavery to drugs and alcohol,as i did,yet these haters won’t acknowledge that she has the disease of addiction,real problems,just that they want to call her names and make fun of her,instead of talking about a huge problem in America,that affects all levels of society,rampant use of drugs and alcohol.many people can’t face the huge voids in their lives,and use the crutch of drugs to get through the day.that is what i did for years.i still have the void,but i face it instead of hiding from it.i do believe that Lindsay has a similar problem,resulting from a broken home,bad parenting,hollywierd influence at an early age,and she is searching for something to fill that void.she has stated in interviews that hollywierd is a “lonely” place;key word-lonely,that tells me she feels empty,as fame is fleeting and unsatisfying.i truly hope that she finds some answers,as i can’t help her on that,i am still looking for my own answers.love always,a huge fan and friend.peace

    dave — as usual, what you share with such transparency from your own experience is always both informative and touching. As I sense your struggle, you make it so clear that Lindsay is in the same struggle — and I sense how very real her darkness and aloneness is. I have not had any personal experience with addictions — either my own or any relatives, so I feel very out of touch with the depth of that particular struggle. However, I have had (do have) my own “demons” with which to struggle. After all, that is satan’s job description — to provide every one of God’s beloved creations with a suitable amount of demonic distractions to try to make us turn away from God and either ignore Him for “better” things, or curse Him for “not-good-enough” things — or usually a combination of those. It is likely you have read C. S. Lewis “Screwtape Letters” — in which we find a very astute portrayal of satan’s “modis operandi” for the likes of you and me — and Lindsay. satan seems particularly focused on her — and I can’t help wondering why the stakes for her are so huge to him.

    So — it has been said that we all have a “God-shaped” hole that ONLY GOD can fill. We all try so hard to fill it with anything else — drugs, sex, money, fame, power, “independence” (the ultimate in loneliness) — but He is The Only One Who fits.

    So, like you, and like Lindsay, I too have experienced that huge void, and the despair, that comes from walking away from His Love — too far, and for too long. But when I reached the near end, and I TURNED AROUND, and cried out to Him — He heard me, and rescued me — He was there all the time — He had never left me, even though I had tried to leave Him (it’s kinda hard to outrun God, after all)!

    So without meaning to seem trivial, I have to tell you that I now know that nothing else can ever take the place of God’s love for me — it never could, and it never will. Oh yes, I still have moments — and days — when I “forget” and try to fill it with something else. (My) human pride does not die easily, and it is the handle by which satan grabs hold of us and swings us around, disorients us, and slams us down. But we get up again, go running back to “Abba” and He takes us in again. Unfortunately — addictions or otherwise — we ALL struggle with some demon(s) sent on a mission to destroy us.

    So my prayer for Lindsay is also my prayer for you, that you will come to know Him, and His Love for you, Who Loves you more than anyone ever can — every day, one day at a time — forever! When you do — I believe that you will find that your void has been mysteriously, joyously filled to overflowing out of His Abundance — beyond what you might ever have imagined possible — and certainly beyond what you (or I, or Lindsay, or anyone) could ever “deserve” !!! And if you ever find yourself nearing that void again, you will not only know what has happened, you will know to Whom to go to change that!

    Continue towards The Light dave — and join me in praying that Lindsay will also join us in our journey Home, into His Ever-Loving Arms.

    As Always, in His Love,

    ps — dave — as far as the “haters” go — yes, I find them annoying. But I have to remember that they are His creation — just like me,. They more than likely have their own struggles, and don’t even realize that they are being played as satan’s pawns to bring down others — notably our beloved Miss Lindsay.

    So while I can not attack THEM — the person who my Heavenly Father created and loves — I CAN “INSTRUCT” them about what they are DOING — and “encourage” them to either stop it — or take it somewhere else.

    Please remember that while God LOVES US (i.e. who we ARE — verb “to BE”) — He HATES the things we DO (verb “to DO”) when we hurt ourselves or others. Who we ARE is sacred and divine; what we DO — is rarely either!

    So while “haters” are people — their “hating” is an action that is NOT WELCOME HERE! I have no problem in joinng you in “educating” and “guiding” their actions — but I can never attack them as persons — I think you will understand.

    And then Arieanna — our beloved and trusty “referee” — knows how to take care of the “non-fan” elements that appear in this FAN site — RIGHT ARIEANNA!!

    God Bless!

    dave — Jesus summed this up when He was dying on the cross:

    “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34)

    i.e. “Father, forgive who they (we) ARE (the verb “to BE” — created by Him) — for they (we) know not what THEY (WE) DO (verb “to DO”) — when we do what WE WANT TO DO … NOT what HE wants us to do …

    He Knows, He cares, and He Forgives.

    That includes you too, Lindsay …

    As Always, your Affectionate Fan, in His Love
