> [@MPB\_in\_Salt\_Lake](#): > > While she could certainly drop dead at any time now, the actual “27 Club” is for _musicians_ who die at age 27, not no talent actresses, so-called. Lindsay Lohan had tons of talent. Her early performances are terrific. She can’t really act anymore because she’s clearly mentally ill, but she’s got more than enough talent. ---

If she’s murdered by the [Star Whackers](http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/features/2011/01/quaid-201101) versus dropping dead “naturally”, would that keep her out of the 27 club? ---

The sister already is, and will further be, screwed up, but from what I’ve read of her on the internet, no one is very interested in her. She isn’t a ‘celebrity’ other than working as a D-list model somewhere. She did make an album a few years ago, there is a stack of her CDs at the dollar store that have been there for years. Stocking stuffers, anyone? It’s the toxic parents who will attract attention, but not for very long. ---

She punched someone in the face. It was a psychic (aka scam artist). A scam artist who refused the first demand to go away. One named “Tiffany Mitchell,” who then pulled the tortuous contrivance of an anti-Roma race card when called a gypsy. What makes LL any different from a commercial fisherman’s, steelworker’s, biker’s, etc. reaction to that shit in their bars? ---

Except the movie star part, that describes a lot of working class barflies. ---

Good point. This wasn’t a fight. One punch was thrown. Typically the bouncers separate the people and kick them out of the club. No big deal. Happens in bars everywhere. But, when you are a washed up celebrity. Cops are called. Reporters show up. Charges filed. Total waste of the courts time imho. Lawyers make money, the celebrity clogs the courts for awhile and life goes on. > [@](#): > > What makes LL any different from a commercial fisherman’s, steelworker’s, biker’s, etc. reaction to that shit in their bars? > Reply With Quote ---

I give her a pass on this one. Punching a psychic should be good for one Get Out Of Jail Free cards. BTW: How is LL’s twin sister doing? ---

Lawyers make money, the celebrity clogs the courts for awhile and life goes on. She’s a convict on probation. Of course the police were called. Getting into even a minor scrap can mean loss of probation. ---

Anyone remember the pics of her french kissing her mom in some club? That right there simultaneously made me disgusted and sympathetic to her, I mean with a mom like that is her life any mystery?
