LiLo got her claws out on Letterman and despite my better judgement I somehow still like her?

 

Aw, Lindsay. Look how much she just loves that spotlight.

Okay, so Lindsay made an appearance on David Letterman to promote her public image ’Scary Movie 5′, but of course, Letterman just asked her a whole bunch of questions about rehab, because he’s David Letterman and making starlets squirm is like his favourite pastime.

I’ve got two options for you, the whole interview or just the promo clip, for those of you who can’t handle looking at her inflated trout pout for 14 minutes.

 

 

So I had two fairly different reactions after watching the promo clip versus the whole interview. I saw the promo last night, and it was just… you know… more of the same shit that I’ve watched Lindsay spew every time she’s been in trouble over the last 8 or 9 years, but with an acerbic edge to her voice that reminded me of the time her ex-BFF Paris Hilton got drilled by Letterman about her jail time.

 

2007. The golden era, right?

 

Okay, so then this morning, I watched the whole interview, and you guuuuuuys, I don’t know how Lindsay does it, but there’s something about her that just makes me want to believe her and want good things for her. I know, I know! It’s absurd, right?! Like how many times am I going to let her play me?

Despite my better judgement, that sees that I’m just falling for Lindsay’s ‘see how likeable I am because I’m making fun of my situation?’ there’s this part of me that’s like ‘aw, I hope she manages to get her shit together this time.’ It’s completely ridiculous, because when I actually think about how many obstacles are between the current version of Lindsay Lohan and the well-adjusted, happy, functioning adult version of Lindsay Lohan, it doesn’t seem likely that 3 months would even scratch the surface of her addiction problems, let alone the denial of said addictions. Even if they somehow managed to tackle those problems, there would still be the fame/drama/chaos addiction that she seems to deal with, and they still wouldn’t have even touched her parental issues with Michael and Dina, you know? But then again, I’ve watched 13 seasons of Intervention, and if they can manage to clean up decades-long heroin addicts, I guess there’s always hope for Miss LiLo.

With that being said, though, Lindsay went out partying straight after Letterman. *sigh* The Lindsay Lohan saga continues…

Trainwreck tidbits from the last few days: Lindsay and Amanda watch 2K13.

Lindsay’s doing all her favourite activities before rehab: stealing and clubbing.

So Amanda Bynes says she has an ‘eating disorder’ NOT a ‘mental illness’.

Amanda Bynes is still saying that it’s not her with the red hair. Except that it is.

Russell Brand the successful comedian/actor is jealous of Russell Brand the junkie.

 

My boy Russell Brand has a new documentary coming out for the BBC entitled ‘Russell Brand: From Addiction to Recovery,’ and I will absolutely be watching it. If you know me even a little bit, even from reading this blog for awhile, you’ll know that I’m obsessed with drug addiction memoirs (and if you are too you need to read A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown right now… seriously, stop reading this and go buy it. Here, I’ve even linked you to it on Amazon because I’m a good friend to you.), and you’ll also know that I love Russell Brand a whole lot.

In the documentary, he watches old footage of himself smoking heroin and confesses that he’s jealous of past-Russell, saying:

This is when you know it’s a disease. It doesn’t matter that I sat in that flat in Hackney and now I’m in the [upscale hotel] Savoy. I’m jealous of me then.

It doesn’t make a difference to me. The money, the fame, the power, the sex, the women — none of it. I’d rather be a drug addict.

He talks about how ‘greedy’ heroin is and how it’ll ‘take everything’ from you:

First it’ll take your money. Then it’ll take your friends, your family, your car, your house. Then it’s going to take bits of your body. In the end I used to be scoring with people that had eyes missing, limbs missing. You’ll take it until it takes your life. It’ll take everything until the last thing and you’ll gladly give it that rather than give up the drugs.

The documentary will air on BBC Three on August 16th, will you be watching/downloading?

Let’s check in with Katy and Russell.

Apparently Katy Perry is interesting enough to warrant a 3D film about her life. Who knew?

Russell Brand appears before Parliament to fight for ‘love and compassion’ for drug addicts.

So while Katy’s been off making out with the guitarist from Florence and the Machine at Coachella, Russell Brand has been visiting Parliament, pleading for drug addicts to be treated with “love and compassion.” That’s the short version, so you should just watch the videos below because aside from the fact that I’m a bit in love with Russell Brand, they’re really interesting:

 

The two best clips are on the BBC’s website, and of course, you can’t embed them, so if you’re interested, you can click here and here to watch them. And you should, because you can actually hear what he’s trying to say, as opposed to a string of quips and jokes badly edited together like the second video up there.
