Is Lindsay Lohan Toying With The Law in Order to Make a Buck?
Is it conceivable that Lindsay Lohan is getting into all this trouble lately sort of on purpose?
At first the answer looks like a certain "no" simply on the grounds that we have seen her crying and under obvious duress during her arrests and courtroom appearances, plus we also assume that people are like us and do not want to get arrested and go to jail! But when we reach behind the scenes and examine the economic realities of the little tramplet's lifestyle, the probabilities of her wanting to remain on the right side of the law change radically.
Furthermore, when we recall that she wrote "F@!* YOU" on her fingers and made sure that all could see it in court, as well as blatantly failed her drug tests, missed mandated court appearances and failed to attend her required alcohol awareness classes, Lohan's interest in staying legal and out of trouble dwindles to the point where we don't believe it any more.
What sparked our initial interest in this question, the idea that Lindsay might be trying to get into trouble in order to push herself into the public eye, was the story we printed here that Lohan was having trouble making the $300,000 bail set by Judge Schnegg last Friday.
Granted $300,000 is a lot of money, but frankly, not by Hollywood 'A' list criteria and this leads us to the core of the problem. Lindsay is broke!
According to an inside family source, and just plain common sense, it has been quite some time since LiLo has earned the big performing bucks that came her way when she was starring in movies and concerts.
The same insider let it slip that most of Lohan's earnings these days come from selling out - literally selling her own sad pics and stories to the trash trade including some blogs and gossip mags. There was a time when Lohan was earning really big money - 11 million dollars in 2007 - but this year that amount has dwindled to a small fraction of that. Still a very respectable amount when viewed from the perspective of an average American but the average American doesn't spend 10's of thousands per week on designer clothing and jewelery, get driven about town by expensive bodyguards in 1/2 million-dollar automobiles, stay in $10,000 per night top hotel penthouses, fly all over the world at her whim, consume tons of expensive illegal drugs, and last but certainly not least pay huge legal fees!!
