Though she had a pretty rough go of it so far this year, Lindsay Lohan has managed to stay clean and sober since her most recent stay at the Cirque Lodge in Utah. But it looks like she may have found a new addiction that won’t land her in the Big House, but rather the poor house.
Reportedly, the “Mean Girls” actress has taken up spending massive amounts of money as a means of coping with her addictive personality. And the endless trail of paparazzi photos of the singer/actress trying on everything from clothes to sunglasses to hats isn’t helping her image.
To further the claim, LiLo is constantly filmed and photographed eating at some of Los Angeles’ most exclusive, and therefore expensive, restaurants multiple times a day. It looks like Lindsay needs a little help with her “retail therapy.”
Clinical psychologist Andrew Tatarsky says this kind of behavior is common among people with addictive personalities. “In terms of substance abuse, an overwhelming number of people come out of rehab and resume their addictive behaviors. And many who do stay sober … still find themselves switching to other addictive activities, such as shopping, working or eating.”
He explains, “If shopping can help people manage difficult situations and times, then we might say it’s actually therapeutic. But that’s very different from getting into a compulsive relationship with shopping and letting it become a quick-fix high that gives you a temporary rush.”

Lindsay Lohan: Shopping Addict

Lohan gets role on “Ugly Betty”
According to a source on the set of “Ugly Betty”, Lindsay Lohan has accepted the role a fallen beauty queen who takes a gig as the assistant manager of the fast food chain where Betty’s dad works.
“Everyone’s very excited,” the source said. “Of course it brings a lot of attention to the show, and it’s a great part for Lindsay.”
“It sounds really cute. Betty tries to help Lindsay’s character by getting her a job at Mode, the fashion magazine where she works on the show.”
Ironically, it was Ugly Betty star America Ferrera who was quoted last month saying Hollywood’s out-of-control young things should stop partying and “get a job.”
Candids: Starlets Edition
The young and fabulous have been out and about and of course all we care about is what are they WEARING. Here’s a mixed Fendi bag of some of our favorite fashionistas.
My usual style darling has made a misstep somewhere along this outfit. But I don’t know where it is… I like the eyelet pattern on the shirt, the scarf is cute and the sunglasses are her sig, but the whole look screams Jimi Hendrix, old Nicole wild child. Let me know what you think, because I’m torn…
Now I normally refrain from commenting on Ms. Hilton as I think she has a much style as Victoria Beckham (take that as you wish), but she does manage to look cute here in a red stripe shirt, skinny jeans and red flats. Personally I would have lost the matchy headband and glasses, but baby steps Paris, baby steps.
Looking very casual as she runs some errands. She always looks very pulled together and simple. Oo la la to her snakeskin bag and booties.
I’m always on the fence about La Lohan. There are times when she looks amazingly beautiful and then times when I wonder if the “rumors” are true and she got dressed in a haze. This, unfortunately is one of those times. You all know how I feel about stockings under shorts (see Kate Beckinsale post), so she loses points there, but then she woos with with her loosely strewn scarf (I’m a sucker for a scarf) and the aviator glasses. Chuck the stockings, add a wedge platform and we’re in business Linds.
Fashion Fight: Tights
Nicollette Sheridan Vs. Lindsay Lohan
Where there’s fashion, fists are flying!
Here our Desperate Housewife seems to be going through a midlife crisis or maybe the stress of dealing with the cattiness on Wistera Lane has finally gotten to her. Whatever it is, striped sheer tights under Lyrca shorts is never a good idea. And where does the gray newsboy cap fit in? You’d think the steller knee boots would redeem her, but it only stirs more confusion into this clearly “dressed in the dark” look.
Lindsay Lohan takes her tights very seriously. And from this look she’s taking no prisoners. Love, love, love the flat riding boots and the babydoll top. A+ for simplicity. Major deduction for the lace fingerless glove and the cancer stick.
WINNER: LINDSAY LOHAN by the flash of a glove!

Lindsay Lohan gets dragged into divorce
Stephanie Allen, while filing for divorce, has alleged Lindsay Lohan slept with her soon to be ex-husband whilst attending Cirque Lodge Clinic in Utah. Apparently Tony Allen's "conduct with another woman" led to the divorce, and 21 year old Lohan is top of the rumour list.
