Things You Need to Know, vol 1.1

from MSN.com


(BANG) - Al Gore has denied he is going to help Lindsay Lohan salvage her reputation.

The 20-year-old actress sent an email to friends and lawyers claiming the former US Vice President had offered to help her clean up her image, but he has been quick to disassociate himself from the claims.

In a statement released yesterday (07.12.06), a representative for Gore said: "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."

Lindsay had claimed in her email: "Al Gore will help me. He came up to me and said he would be very happy to have a conversation with me."

She also wrote: "Hilary (sic) Clinton, Bill Clinton would be willing, if we just ask. If we just ASK."

Representatives for both Clintons have refused to comment on the subject.

Lindsay wanted to call upon the politicians to help her, "release a politically/morally correct, fully adequite [sic] letter to the press," as a vehicle for 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."

Sometimes I feel that the entirety of mainstream 'pop' culture must be a fictional figment of someone's imagination; it just makes no sense otherwise.

You guys shouldn't be so hard on Lindsay. She is really pretty and is having a super hard time with her drinking habit. I think that Paris and Britany are making it harder for her. Who needs friends like those! I respect her decision to seek help from the Clintons and Mr. Gore to help make the USA the best place to live. I have full confidence in saying that Lindsay will make it out of this dark tunnel of drinking and partying and that she will become a beautiful "natural looking" woman with brains and beauty. It easy being a Hollywood star, I really feel super bad for her.

L8R-bye!

I can barely stand the fact that that is what she actually said. What can be going through that poor twisted up little mind.

so if you click on art crimes it brings up grafitti. What about landscape painters? What about building large papier machee abominations?

what are some other art crimes?

in some regard's performances which discredit one's behaviors (Gibson, Richards, Spears, etc.) are criminal, providing new character's to symbols which were previously untainted...

where the heck am I going with this one now....

Lindsay just needs a bff and she'll be alright.

I love that she sent the email to "friends and lawyers." It's so funny that she would make up a total lie and then make sure that it landed in the hands of people she knew would deliver it. Very clever. Even Gore's spokesperson was forced to comment. Superb modern media theatre.

I think this is the future of entertainment; celebrities preempting tabloids and spreading dirt about themselves through planted emails and staged YouTube blow-ups. Maybe some savvy executive offers up a nice nest egg for a timely racist rant, or a recovering starlet makes an attention grabbing statement to the voracious Hollywood media through a redirected email...

It's like professional wrestling: a "reality" soap-opera opera where the line between fiction and reality is thinly drawn. Bravo Lindsay; you grab those headlines girl!

yup. destroy one's reputation to recreate one's rep. pheonix complex.

Perhaps, but who is the playwright??

Then again, one shouldn't take metaphors too far.
