I'm disgusted at the media. As usual.

WTF is with Lindsay Lohan. All I've heard about all freaking day is the crazy DUI/cocaine/chasing someone in her car and then getting arrested, blah blah I DON'T CARE. I never liked her anyways, and I don't feel bad that any of this is happening. She's an adult. She caused her own problems and she should deal with them, not get special treatment because she's a celebrity.

But what ticks me off yet kind of amuses me is that a lot of articles I read today are calling her the "Robert Downey Jr of her generation". We all know how much I love Robert, but sadly this is true. I like the way this article puts it:

Lindsay Lohan is now officially the Robert Downey Jr. of her generation. And I say that with all due respect to Downey, who once was a mess but who has cleaned up his life and is back to doing excellent work, as in “Zodiac.”

The Downey comparison is appropriate because when he was going through his troubles he kept going before a judge and kept pleading for another chance — and to stay out of jail. After numerous run-ins with the law, he told one judge in 1999: “It’s like I have a loaded gun in my mouth and my finger’s on the trigger. And I like the taste of the gun metal.”

Downey spent a short time in prison. Three months after he got out, he was arrested again on drug charges. That killed his gig on “Ally McBeal.”

One of the big differences here is that Downey was an Oscar nominee, in 1992 for “Chaplin.” In other words, he had a career. He reached a certain rarified place in the business. Creatively, he fulfilled his potential. But drugs plagued his career from a business standpoint. He became unemployable for a time. Only a slow march toward sobriety enabled him to rebound and work again, and the cold slap of jail time undoubtedly had something to do with setting him straight.

Lohan has an enormous amount of talent, but unlike Downey she hasn’t distinguished herself as an actress. Sure, she was good in “Mean Girls” and “A Prairie Home Companion,” even “Herbie Fully Loaded.”

Yet Hollywood is all about perception. And what do people remember most, her roles in those films and others? Or the car accidents and partying?

That’s why she belongs in jail. For her own good.

At least it doesn't make Robert sound totally horrible. But it has a point, jail turned him around, look at him now. Maybe it would do the same for LL, because as much as I dislike her I wouldn't want to see her die. Too many people die from drug and alcohol abuse. It's sad. She needs jail time, but also some real help.

Blah. No more ranting. No one cares. I'm just mostly sick of this being treated as the most important news ever. Hello, there's still soldiers in Iraq dying every day, campaigning for next year's election, etc. Celebrities aren't that important.

I hate media.

The end.

Avril is SUCH a fake (like I didn't already know??)

So...my least-favorite Canadian Avril Lavigne is being sued by the 70s band the Rubinoos because they say she took a lot of her song "Girlfriend" from their (much cooler) song "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend".

If you listen to the two songs, you can clearly tell that she totally ripped them off.

She was also accused recently of stealing songs from someone she used to work with.

She denies all of this here.

But just watch this video, which compares the two songs, and try to tell me that it's not basically the same song. Beat, tune, almost everything is like the Rubinoos song.



Talentless crap like her make me sick. If you can't come up with a decent song yourself, don't steal one. And if you do, don't release it as as single so everyone (including the original artists) can hear it and call you out on your plagiarism.

What a dumbass. I hope she loses everything. The Rubinoos deserve so much more than she does.
