Lohan Slammed by Producer
Filed under: Drama, Celebrities and Controversy, Newsstand
Erik reported a few days ago about Lindsay Lohan's "heat exhaustion," and how things were so bad that the poor thing had to be taken from the set of Georgia Rule to the hospital. Though her publicists insisted that Lohan's problems had nothing whatsoever to do with her off-set habits, one of the film's producers is having none of it, and wrote her a letter voicing his feelings. And, thanks to The Smoking Gun, the whole world now knows what Mr. James Robinson said.In addition to showing up late or not at all for work, Robinson's letter accused Lohan of acting "like a spoiled child and in doing so ... [alienated] many of [her] coworkers and endangered the quality of this picture." Plus, the tough old dude (Robinson is 70, and clearly has no time for some spoiled kid's BS) is not buying any of her "Oh, I don't feel well" crap: "We are well aware that your ongoing all night heavy partying is the real reason for your so called 'exhaustion'. We refuse to accept bogus excuses for your behavior." Daaaaang!
By Monday, this is either going to spun like crazy by Lohan's flacks (who should be earning at least six figures for the gig), or she'll be off the movie.

Apparently the cocaine use is catching up to her. Or maybe she has begun using heroin...
Either way it is the producer's own fault for hiring such a useless person to begin with...

I Think She's Obviously Partying Excessively...And There's Nothing Wrong With That...But Don't Expect The People Who Are Backing This Project To Accept Your Irresponsible Behavior Little Ms. Lindsay...The Only Reason They're Lashing Out Is Because It's Too Late To Fire Her !...LMAO...I'M GAGGING !

Wow. It's Harsh on Celebrities day!
I honestly do not think any person is useless. I feel sorry for the girl, as from what I understand, she has drug abuse in her family. Assuming of course that's what she's doing.
I really wish we, as a culture, showed more compassion for celebrities... and I guess people in general.

She shouldn't have been hired for the movie in the first place. She's clearly too irresponsible to have a career with such a magnifying glass on it as acting. I wouldn't want my child thinking what she does is cool...and finally some old guy decided to tell her so. Go, Old Man!!!

There was a report about her behavior at a recent party at Disneyland that follows this pattern too: http://www.miceage.com/allutz/al071106a.htm

I just want to Give a round of applause to this producer and say thank you for speaking your mind and not giving in to anyones crap!
And to the second comment - I would have to say that i would be mad to if i had hired someone and was paying them X amount of money (millions) for a job that they are required to do and they just decided they are gunna be late and go out at night and get high or whatever the case may be. Im sorry but i cant show any compassion for someone like that i mean if u were like that at ur job im betting u would be fired.
Lindsey is in control of her own destiny so there is no room to feel sorry for her expecially when she is the one who chooses to get a drug addiction.

I'd fire her and file a suit for damages.

Who Cares? She will not make it in the movie industry as it takes real work habits and commitment which this kid has none.

Being an actor takes hard work and dedication. Being a movie star? Not so much. If you can get to a certain level of fame they will pay you for your name, and you can just phone it in (Brando anyone?). I don't think she is to that point, but who knows. She just happened to pick someone who won't put up with it. Who knows if this is the first time she acted like this.
How many stars that got rich and famous young have gone through this kind of thing? A lot. If I gave just about anyone I know, myself included, millions of dollars, and access to all the big parties, when I was in my teens/early twenties I would have gone batshit insane as well. I can't promise I wouldn't do in now at 30.
Its kind of like the Chris Rock saying "Men are as faithful as their options". People, especially people who don't look long term, will go for immediate gratification anytime. Sex, drugs and the rock and roll lifestyle can be pretty gratifying.
