Lindsay Lohan's Daytime Drama

Forget the drinking: No one stands up Matt Lauer!

Lindsay Lohan was back in court after failing an alcohol test, but day timers are clicking their tongues at LiLo for other reasons. It seems Matt Lauer flew to all the way to the West Coast to catch up with La Lohan on Tuesday and the diva left him hanging!
"Some of you may have heard that I was actually with Lindsay on Tuesday afternoon at her home in Los Angeles," Lauer said on "Today" June 23, 2011. "We were supposed to sit down for an interview to talk about her current situation and her plans for the future. At the last minute, Lindsay and her people did express concern about the timing of the interview and it was canceled. I think we're learning more this morning about the reasons for their concerns."

 

Bing: The latest on Lindsay Lohan 


Lauer was referring to Lohan's most recent day in court, which came because she failed an alcohol test. While she ultimately was returned to house arrest, she was given a scolding (for whatever that's worth!) and told not to have any more parties.


"Don't give people reason to hate you. Don't do stupid things that fly in the spirit of the court's order," Judge Stephanie Sautner told Lohan. "You know I sentenced you to jail. You know I didn't sentence you to house arrest, and what do you do? You have barbecues at your house so your neighbors are writing letters about you."


While Lauer pointed to Lohan's current troubles as the probable reason for her cancelation, industry buzz is still offering various reasons, ranging from Lohan's demand for money to her refusal to do more than a 15-minute interview, so the rest of the NBC gossip shows could have their own fresh Lohan tidbits.


MSN TV is curious to see whether Lohan reschedules with Lauer, which depends as much on her interest as it does on whether Lauer is willing to make another trip West.

Who cares about this spoiled brat. I don't want to read about her ... period. She should be grateful a respected journalist like Lauer would write an honest and balanced report about her and not stand him up. Lauer is not a papparazzi. And the judge should give her some jail time and help her grow up.

Leave the kid alone! (Lindsay)..  She doesn't have more flaws than the average family has SOMEWHERE in their own family.   The press is always pushing, especially when there are "problems" ..  She realized it was not a smart time to conduct an interview..  Matt Lauer is excellent, and one of the only host/interviewers I like, but on this occasion he takes himself back home at company expense.  No big deal.

Lohan may be talented, but she's a train wreck who's only worth watching nowadays when she's going off the rails.  She's undependable and won't be working anytime soon because of her inability to make it through the day without wobbling and falling down, which the public loves to see but producer's won't hire.  Shape up, Lindsay.  Maybe you'll work again...in your 30s!!!

Why does this little ho think she is so important??? I think she is so stuck on herself, it makes me angry when stupid people like the judge just say, ok honey, be a good little girl and don't have any more parties. You just be a good little girl & I won't send you to jail.....SHE IS A GROWN WOMAN WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO UNDERSTAND THAT? All the stupid judges like the ones she has had deserve to be kicked off the bench and maybe yet a better idea, they could serve her jail term for her...

I agree she doesn't care about much.  She is in that part of her life where she is making the most of her looks.  I think the judgments on her are too harsh.  It isn't going to help her.  Not that the outside world is about helping...it is about feeling good about themselves while judging others so that they don't go loco themselves.  Lucky we have some loco's to gauge ourselves with alignments....

 

I'm sure some audience is getting their jollies with her latest escapades.  Why else would it be reported??  It makes money......and she wants in..

This girl has zero respect for anyone, including herself. Hey judge, she makes you look like the biggest idiot who sits the bench.

I just see there are a lot of angry nerdlings on this board. 

 

I'm pretty solid with my comments, unless you count my listerine this morning, u could say I used my perfum..  That be it..

 

If anyone should have a fork stuck in it and declared done is Matt Lauer's time on the Today show..  Enough already.  Let him do his Mr.*cough - uber nerdling boy* Planters' dance right off stage,,,,,I don't care..

The judge put her on house arrest.. as opposed to jail.. of course she's going to have a BBQ and have friends over. maybe some REAL jail time would be more appropriate, considering she has serious problems following rules!

That young woman is sooo over ! just let her drink and drug herself  to her hearts content. If she lives , great ! if not , well, Has she done anything  positive at all for herself or anyone else ??? She has  given herself this image and lifestyle .So , its a pity that she wants or has no reason to change it.  no one can help her now unless she gets the guts to do it herself....Not gonna happen !

Clearly, the judges have been remiss with their responsibilities and should be removed from the bench and stripped of their outrageous pensions.

Wow everybody wants to bash Lindsey or wish she would go away and in fact, so many people are wanting to bash her, it just feeds the media hype.  The media will follow anything that has legs, meaning interest, and the frenzy follows certain people.  Totally hot, rich hollywood babes, seem to fill the bill.  Bash away, its Matt Lauer and these inflated media day time, wonder bread, talking heads, I can't stand!

ear gal, what were you using before you wrote your totally uninformed ramble?

Headline: "No one stands up Matt Lauer!"

 

Story: "At the last minute, Lindsay and her people did express concern about the timing of the interview and it was canceled."

 

You're right, no one does stand-up Matt Lauer . . . including Lindsey Lohan.  Does this headline belong to another story, maybe?

Because if you are going to peer and/or pry into someone's life, caring is the key essential need.  Or else, it has become about only U and UR hang-ups..

Lindsay doesn't care one bit. No one is going to tell her what to do. She's going to do what she wants, when she wants and no one is going to tell her different.

This girl hasn't done anything resembling productive in a long time.  Why do we still care?
