Because based on her recent actions, she really, really wants one, and she’s not too shy to ask for it. But let’s back up.
Remember those photos I showed you a few days ago, the ones where Lindsay Lohan was wandering around in that tragic fur coat, looking busted as hell and about 25 years older than she actually is? Yeah, those pictures were taken at amfAR, a charity event held to raise money for AIDS research. What a nice event for Lindsay to attend, right? Sounds like a step in the right direction! Oh, except for the fact that she was pretty much there just to convince rich dudes to buy her things.
From the New York Post:
Lindsay Lohan tried to persuade a wealthy patron to bid on an expensive gift for her in the auction at the star-studded amfAR benefit Wednesday night.
The gala, hosted by Sarah Jessica Parker, raised more than $1.4 million for AIDS research at Cipriani Wall Street, and brought out stars including Jennifer Hudson, Elizabeth Hurley and Linda Evangelista.
Spies said that when Lohan recognized a wealthy Canadian financier at a nearby table, she shot over to schmooze him — but then sent an assistant over when bidding on the charity auction began.
“There were items being auctioned for $20,000,” said a spy. “After chatting with the businessman, Lindsay sent over an assistant, who said, ‘Lindsay would very much like it if you’d bid on this item as a gift.’ ”
However, the gentleman declined. “He just cracked up,” our source said — and the piece, believed to be a Hublot diamond watch with a white alligator strap, went to another bidder.
Lindsay was overheard telling guests she was at the gala because of her role playing Elizabeth Taylor, a major amfAR donor, in an upcoming Lifetime movie. The platinum-blond starlet wore a white dress and a coat with long fur cuffs and long fur trim (bringing to mind a glam, shaved yeti).
She changed into a black number for an after-party at Meatpacking hot spot Double Seven, and chilled in a booth as her mom, Dina Lohan, partied with pals across the room.
Heidi Klum, sitting nearby with financier Vivi Nevo, told us she couldn’t stay in town for Fashion Week because she had to head back to LA to shoot “Germany’s Next Top Model.” Klum’s in the midst of a breakup with Seal, and sources say he’s leaving the country this week for a judging gig on “The Voice” Down Under.
Asked about Lohan’s assistant’s request, her rep sniffed: “This is another instance of people making up stories about Lindsay.”
Except I don’t believe this is another instance of people making up stories about Lindsay, mostly because I think every story about Lindsay is a true story. Besides, can’t you so vividly see Lindsay pulling a move like this? It’s because she lives in a world where she can talk to a man for five minutes and believe that he is so smitten by her that he will shower her with fancy jewelry, and that’s a world that hasn’t existed since maybe like 2004. Or ever.
Do you think any dude would ever drop $20,000 on Lindsay? Or more appropriately, do you think Lindsay truly believes that it would happen?
I have decided that there is no hope for this woman. Substance abusers typically have a skewed view of reality, but hers is out of whack to the extreme. She has no one around her who seems to want to help her get better, they just keep saying she’s fine. And she doesn’t seem to have been brought up with any values whatsoever that she can fall back on. I really don’t know that she has any chance at all.
this one I actually don’t believe. as the column says you can make up any crazy story about Lindsay and people will believe it. I can’t stand the bitch but at least give me something that really happened I can hate her for
Is she wearing a wig?
She would be looking really great in that pic if she didn’t have that dumbass hair hanging off her coat… ughhh… WHY???
