[The Limey] – On Monday every D-list starlet’s favorite outlet for self-serving stories, those ubiquitous ‘friends’ spoon-fed a laughably transparent tale to the down-market tabloids that Lindsay Lohan was engaging in ‘knife play’ and ‘cutting herself’ from despair.
The resulting attention then gave Ms. Lohan the chance to ‘graciously’ speak to the media directly, firmly denying she’d done any such thing.
Result? 3-4 days of cost-free, worldwide attention, without one iota of talent or work being required.
Replace Lohan with the ‘star’ of your choice and you get the same result:
Day 1) ‘Leak’ a dumb story to the low-rent media
Day 2) Bathe in attention
Day 3) Release a statement denying dumb story
Day 4) Get more attention
Day 5) Make up another dumb story…
…Then just wash, rinse and repeat until your career is so fried they find you lifeless in the bathroom, surrounded by pills.
One day Lindsay will use the ‘knife play’ trick again [or something like it,] and get all the attention even an ego on her scale could wish for.
Posthumously.
