Third time's the charm.


As many may have heard, Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to jail time along with community service once again.  A part of me feels bad, it's like it never ends for the girl.  For Lindsay it should start feeling a like second home by now, but this time not only is she getting jail time for the third time in a row for her necklace theft case, but she is also getting sentenced to community service work both at the Downtown Women's Center in Los Angeles but also to janitorial work at a Morgue, where she will indeed see dead bodies.

Judge Sautner's intentions are clear here-she is not going off easy on her by any means, especially with her notorious victim mentality, carelessness, and unrealistic mentality of what her life really looks like at the moment.  A few years back, Lindsay was a "star."  Young, hot, the next big thing, you name it, but we have to remember-this was almost a decade ago and quite frankly there is new talent out there that can do her job just as well as-or better than she might have done back in 2004.  She wants to regain her significance within the film industry, but she is up against raw amazing talent that does not have all these mishaps going on in their lives.  For Lindsay it's a tough call now, because not many directors will have her in mind as their first choice.  Lindsay still wants to prove herself as an actress even recently scoring a confirmed new gig on a Gotti biopic (which has been confirmed after speculation and rumors).  Unfortunately, in the eyes of the judges, attorneys, film execs, and the public, she cannot be taken seriously at this point.  She is on the receiving end of the information that is being slapped straight in her face, with a sentence that has no room for her have any sort of leeway in.  She may play the victim role well, but the girl needs to stop with her tremendous sense of entitlement which shows through her choice of dress to court (the world is her runway), her still going to clubs (despite that being the trigger for her drinking and drug use), and looking for acting jobs during this time.  As trite as it may sound, Lindsay needs a reality check, and maybe the best one for her will be viewing dead bodies-a sentence unlike any others she's had so far.  She needs to pick herself up by separating herself from everything that she knows and build herself up even if it hurts a bit.
