I'll be buying this issue of Vanity Fair just to see what she has to say. Good on her for admitting she's had problems and that she's working to overcome them. I hope she's made peace with whatever caused her so much grief.

[Sam18]

[Evil Empire]

Good to know. Hope she recovers and gets off the drugs.

LINDSAY LOHAN ON EATING DISORDERS, DRUGS, AND BEING A ROLE MODEL

Lindsay Lohan admits to Vanity Fair contributing editor Evgenia Peretz that at one point she began using drugs "a little," but adds quickly, "I've gotten that out of my system." Lohan also tells Peretz, "I was making myself sick," referring to her bulimia. In the extensive interview in the February issue of Vanity Fair (on newsstands in New York and L.A. on January 4 and nationally January 10), Lohan talks about her violent father, her near self-destruction and emotional breakthrough, and about a film she wants to write about a girl growing up in Hollywood and "how crazy a person can go. But, at the same time, how much they can change."

Lohan tells Peretz that when she was especially skinny, Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels "sat me down, literally before I was going to do [Saturday Night Live], and they said, 'You need to take care of yourself. We care about you too much, and we've seen too many people do this, and you're talented,' and I just started bawling. I knew I had a problem and I couldn't admit it.… I saw that S.N.L. after I did it. My arms were disgusting. I had no arms."

Lohan blames herself for the breakup with That '70s Show actor Wilmer Valderrama, saying that when it came to dealing with the pain of her parents' situation, she'd turn to Valderrama, wanting to be with him "every five seconds" because "I didn't have anyone to go to." The pair were living together at the time and, at 24 years old, he couldn't handle it, she says. "I'm ruining this relationship with this guy that I think is my first love," she remembers thinking. "I'm ruining it because I'm taking everything out on him."

[penfold]

Oh, I'm so stunned. Not. Young Hollywood at it again....

Well, hopefully, she takes enough time out for herself and has a complete recovery. Stardom at a young age can be really tough to handle.

[Big_E]

BREAKING NEWS! WATER IS WET!

Wake me up when a Hollywood star is NOT on drugs, bulimic, anorexic or getting divorced after 30 minutes of marriage.

[PettittesPrincess]

I am shocked.

[corynnmarie]

She is one screwed up little girl. It's good that she finally got around to confirming what everyone has known for months...but it's too bad her PR person tried to cover her ass afterwards.

I hope she gets better and fixes things for herself - I liked her quite a bit before she went psycho meth skeleton.

Nah, Misti's cool. Now, Lindsay Lohan is messed up.

[ChocolateGirl]

Wow, what a surprise.

I am totally shocked that a young person in showbiz like herself doesn't think about the consequences of what happened to other young stars who also rose to stardom (some at a young age) and decided to go down a dangerous path by choosing to do destructive things. She probably needs to tune in and watch reruns of Behind the Music and E! True Hollywood Stories.

[keithf1]

What a shame, she is/was beautiful. I haven't seen her lately so I don't know. But she was hot in Mean Girls

[SuperMario66]

Nah, Misti's cool. Now, Lindsay Lohan is messed up.

Seriously? Cluck you.

[Sam18]

Seriously? Cluck you.

Ok fine, you're messed up too.

[RhodyYanksFan]

What a shame, she is/was beautiful. I haven't seen her lately so I don't know. But she was hot in Mean Girls

She was the absolute #1 on my F5 for over a year. Then she lost half her weight, 80% of her curves, all her freckles, and started smoking. Total 180 and I hope she makes a full recovery.

She looks good on the cover of VFair though.

[JDPNYY]

She seems like a nice kid. I wish her all the best.

[DontHateOnNumber2]

It's sad but it seems like it should be expected with young actors and actresses. Is anyone else besides myself waiting on Nicole Richie to fess up to her (possibly) old problems, whatever they may be?

[Stealthspy]

Casual/Light drug use? Fine, as long as it's not habit forming or mentally/physically destructive. Bulimia is far worse in my opinion.

She's an actress?

The actress' publicist, Leslie Sloane, said Lohan is being treated for an asthma attack.

Sloane said Lohan is resting comfortably. She said the high humidity may have contributed to Lohan's asthma attack.

I'd actually buy this...except that it hasn't been that humid here lately. No rain, no nothing. The weather has been gorgeous for at least a week now.

The 19-year-old actress-pop star was in Miami to celebrate New Year's Eve, and had hosted a party two nights ago.

Ah, now we're talking...


Hopefully someone will get this girl the help she needs...quickly.

[yankees27]

Not exactly a surprise. I do hope she'll get help. She was gorgeous in Mean Girls, hopefully she can get back to that.

[penfold]

I'd actually buy this...except that it hasn't been that humid here lately. No rain, no nothing. The weather has been gorgeous for at least a week now.

Maybe the publicist is just thinking about what the weather's been like in So Cal... gray and rainy. (Although, it has been clear for the last couple days.)

[SuperMario66]

Not exactly a surprise. I do hope she'll get help. She was gorgeous in Mean Girls, hopefully she can get back to that.

She was beautiful then. Now she looks like she has done a bit too much meth.

[DiMaggio5CF]

Maybe she'll get hot again. To be honest, it's really hard for me to feel bad about people who do things to themselves.

Now maybe Hilary Duff will admit that she's gone to an all-cocaine diet.

It's pretty sad that trailer-trash Britney Spears is looking decent again.

[JavyVazquezIsSick]

Yayo?

[SuperMario66]

It's pretty sad that trailer-trash Britney Spears is looking decent again.

That woman makes me tired.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

She's no Drew Barrymore

[SuperMario66]

She's no Drew Barrymore

Meth whore or not, she is still hotter than Drew Barrymore.

[DiMaggio5CF]

Meth whore or not, she is still hotter than Drew Barrymore.

I concur.

But then again, the monster that lives in my closet is hotter than Drew Barrymore.

[Trish]

Never in a million years would I have gotten my kids involved in the entertainment industry. People used to hound me to get my girls into modeling, and I would always just say, "No way am I introducing them to that world."

Plus, she needs a mother, not a "friend." Parents that don't act like parents are just setting their kids up for problems, especially in that kind of environment.

[effdamets]

Amen!

When I was a child, I lived with a man that was 6' 4" tall, totally intimidating, and I was scared sh*tless of him. He is my father. I think that children should fear their parents a little. Maybe then they'd respect authority. Point is, my Dad is more of my "friend" now, and back then somewhat, but, he didn't play the buddy-buddy game. If I stepped out of line, there were definite consequences. And it wasn't the loss of my cell phone privileges (no cellies back then). It was, come home from school, do my homework and go to my room. I was allowed to come out to eat dinner (but I could not talk at the table) and that's it. I even had to ask for permission to come out of my room to go to the bathroom! Oh, and I did have a TV in my room, but it was removed. I was allowed to read (luckily, I was a sports fanatic and had many books about baseball).

On top of this, both my parents didn't have a problem saying "no" to something that they believed I shouldn't do, or be doing. I know that I have a tough time doing that with my kids, but, make no mistake, I do say no sometimes. My "no" is a little different. I try to explain why I say no. Not like my mother. "No reason", or, "because I said so" was the explanations I got!

I firmly believe today, that the guidelines my parent set for my life back then lead to the life I have today. And I'm proud to say, that although I have had my share of alcohol in my life, especially through my college years, I have never touched an illegal drug in my life.

Lord have mercy when this generation gets into power of this country. You can kind of see the changes already.

[Snatch Catch]

I'm so mad that I never came across her while she was coked out of her mind and stumbling through Manhattan.

[shutout]

Maybe she'll get hot again. To be honest, it's really hard for me to feel bad about people who do things to themselves.

Very well said.

[Irabu's Son]

I miss her bombs.

[Arod for President]

Put her in jail or rehab. Just like the system would with any of us normal people. I wouldnt bend the rules for this person nomatter who you are

[JWHIII]

Put her in jail or rehab. Just like the system would with any of us normal people. I wouldnt bend the rules for this person nomatter who you are

She wasn't arrested, I don't think you can just throw her in the can for admitting she did some blow.

[SuperMario66]

Put her in jail or rehab. Just like the system would with any of us normal people. I wouldnt bend the rules for this person nomatter who you are

That ain't exactly how it works. You can't go and arrest someone for telling a magazine she did coke. She obviously has issues, but I don't think jail will solve them. The kid needs some serious rehab though.

[effdamets]

The kid needs some serious rehab though.

And a sandwich!

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Meth whore or not, she is still hotter than Drew Barrymore.

by that I meant she wasn't in rehab at age 12

[BronxByTheBay]

Coke whores is funny whores.

[Irabu's Son]

Since I am trying to lose weight, I think I'm gonna scrap working out and just do the Lohan diet.

[Hitman23]

shocking!

[chisox]

This girl has been through so much and she is only 19. The parents went through a nasty divorce and now her father is in jail. From reading the blurb it looks like Lorne Michaels really got on her case because he has seen too many tragic endings first hand.

Even in the hospital the New York Post can not leave her alone

LINDSAY Lohan sure must have had an action-packed New Year's Eve weekend. After she was admitted to Mount Sinai Hospital in Miami Monday night for an "asthma attack," the hard-partying hottie was visited by a female friend bearing a clear plastic bag full of goodies. A picture of the bag seen by PAGE SIX shows that the friend brought Lohan a pregnancy test in addition to playing cards, mouthwash, Coke and a box of Cocoa Puffs. Here's hoping Lohan, 19 - who admitted to Vanity Fair that she's dabbled with drugs and bulimia - is not with child.

What kind of Coke?

I very strongly agree. Some female doctor I know of (Ph.D.) kept talking about women's issues, and she's some consultant. Then she talked about some woman whom she'd felt represented some top women of some sort (like she should be idolized). It was some supermodel from the early 1980s.

I had to tell her in no uncertain words that she didn't need a doctorate to celebrate some skinny supermodel. I mean, some of these people are skin & bones and that "the camera will add 10 lbs to you" thing is a killer statement, meaning that you'll have women looking like little emaciated girls unable to defend themselves.

I thought it was a terrible thing for her to write, and that she should herself learn to respect women more, since there are tons more who are fuller than models. If the entertainment biz, at least Cher, who at least won an Oscar for Moonstruck. If beauties, at least Gina Lollobrigida, Rita Hayworth (spl) or someone of that great Hollywood fame.

Between feuding parents trying to claim their kids' money, the kids growing up too fast, sometimes I wonder why people would even go into that industry.

[Jersey Yankee]

by that I meant she wasn't in rehab at age 12

Who cares? Strike her, Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez for their Red Sox connection, from my list of lovelies.

I'd have to decide which is worse: being ID'd as a Red Sox chick or some $2 ho.

[keithf1]

Some of you people are pretty insensitive lol.

I highly doubt you talk to people this way in person.

[Tifoso]

Gratuitous "before" phots?

[Kulish29]

Hopefully she can get back to looking like she did in 'Mean Girls'....Not that I've seen that movie or anything....

Troubled teen star Lindsay Lohan has sparked rumors she is pregnant after a friend was photographed delivering a pregnancy testing kit to her hospital bedside. The Herbie: Fully Loaded beauty was admitted to a Miami, Florida, hospital on Monday after suffering a massive asthma attack which broke a blood vessel in her neck. According to PageSix.com, the 19-year-old - who has recently been romantically linked to Scarlett Johansson's ex Jared Leto - took delivery of a clear plastic bag from a girl pal which was seen to contain a pregnancy test in addition to playing cards, mouthwash, Coca-Cola and a box of Cocoa Puffs.

I find it odd, considering she was in a hospital where they can give pregnancy tests
