[Previously](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=352495) on the intarweb: Lindsay Lohan admited to being bulimic and using drugs. Today I was shocked, SHOCKED to hear that she is denying that story:

> [@](#):
>
> Lindsay Lohan is “appalled” by the Vanity Fair article released last week in which she confessed to dabbling in drugs and battling bulimia…
> 
> …\*n a statement released Tuesday to Teen People magazine, Lohan denied having bulimia and said, “The words that I gave to the writer for Vanity Fair were misused and misconstrued, and I’m appalled with the way it was done.”

Appalled! However,

> [@](#):
>
> An editor for Teen People said Lohan’s denial was regarding Vanity Fair’s reporting of her alleged bulimia, not drug use.

O rly?

Let me get this straight: she’ll admit to the drugs, but not to the eating disorder. Do us all a favor, hun: fire your publicist and seek help. Eating disorder \> drugs in terms of public relations and a return to creditablilty.

Oh noes!

Previously, I assumed that she lost all that weight dangerously quickly through reasonable and healthy methods. And that all those pictures of her drunk and high-looking were just photoshopped.

Now I don’t know what to think.

Depends on the demographic. Drugs may not be a big deal to the fans she is trying to court.
