> [@Evil\_Captor](#): > > In the photo I saw, Britney looked like the healthy kicker gal she always was. She is 29 or 30 and has deep facial lines already, and her face is not holding up. A double chin at that age is also not a good sign. She has a tiny frame, but she must weight at least 125. It’s also a bad sign that her weight fluctuates so wildly. Not good for the skin at all. She’s loose and sagging in places that should still be firm at her age. Luckily for her, she married a good businessman who loves her and takes good care of her, she’s sane again and has two beautiful kids. ---

Actually she was famous for being a good actress before she was famous for being a fuck up. She certainly didn’t have a long career before going downhill but she was definitely on her way to mega star. ---

Nah, the reason she’s known for being a fuck-up is that there was talent there to fuck up in the first place - she _was_ a famous child star. It’s not like being a fuck-up is _all_ it takes to be famous, esp. if you don’t have a rich family who are on a reality show. And somehow I doubt she needs to work at Target. But woah, her taste in hairstyles and fashions really do make her look very old right now. Her face looks OK, I think - hard to tell when she’s wearing an old woman’s hair from 1986. ---

One of the comments on the Yahoo article about the movie being made about the making of Alfrd Hitchcock’s _Psycho_ suggested that Lindsay Lohan should play Norman Bate’s mother. ---

Watching her now on SNL. I think she looks OK. I’d hit it. (After Nasim Pedrad.) Her opening was good. ---

> [@River\_Hippie](#): > > Watching her now on SNL. Gosh, that was an insultingly bad, humor-free show (except for Jon Hamm’s brief cameos). Lindsay used to be able to act, but here she seemed like a game but flustered audience member pulled up onstage at the last minute. ---

She was totally phoning it in last night, but the writing certainly didn’t help. Some of those skits were just painful. It was interesting when they put her in that red wig. Even though it was ratty, she looked so much better and younger. ---

> [@Oslo\_Ostragoth](#): > > Has she had implants, or does she naturally resemble a lactating cow? Her breasts large but are real. They look so overwhelming because she doesn’t wear a bra. The Housewives of Disney was very funny, but she wasn’t very good in the prison skit. She messed up her lines 2 or 3 times, and was fixated on the cue cards. Her acting sucked in that skit. She could have taken it to the extreme and it would have been hilarious. The 2012 psychic awards was funny, but she didn’t do much in that one. Someone she trusts needs to tell her to ditch the cheek implants, stop the lip filler and go back to dark auburn hair. Wholesome and fresh was such a good look for her. ---

Anyone else think that between the hair and the dress she looked like Shelly Long in the opening? ---

I think Lohan is still a bankable star because of the goodwill she built up in her early films. The SNL appearance wasn’t great acting or consistently funny, but I think she helped her career just by demonstrating to future employers that she has it together well enough to show up sober and work hard. > [@thirdname](#): > > Dakota Fanning just turned 18 on February 23. _Dakota Fanning_ is now legal in every state. That makes me feel old. For those whose tastes lie elsewhere, Justin Bieber just turned 18 as well. ---

It’s too bad her SNL appearance didn’t go well. I was hoping it would be a good break for her. She needs one. She’s one hell of an actress who fucked herself up royally. Besides, how’s she going to make the 27 club if she’s not at the top of her career? ---

Why should she get a break? There are a zillion other actresses out there, it’s not like she was anything special. Other than being a freak show. Maybe she could get an occasional job on the Today Show, Matt Lauer seems to be one of her biggest fans. ---

exactly salingmind - I don’t mean to be cruel but it’s hard not to care about Lohan after she threw away what so many work so hard for. granted, she apparently has an obnoxious fame whore for a mother. but I think Lohan has used up her breaks and should just go away.
