There are all sorts of reasons to be critical of Madonna, but I don't get the snark about her only giving away $500K per year. That's a lot more than many wealthy people give away. In the US at least, foundations are required to spend 5% of their corpus per year, so she's over that minimum. #lindsaylohan
@Doreen DelPurgatorio: I never understood the whole "Let's beat up on someone giving to charity!" thing. To be honest, I've always found Brad and Angelina a bit smug, but I'm always shocked how many people will criticize their charitable donations and work. It's like people don't understand that they don't have to do that. #lindsaylohan
@Bunsen Honeydew: Yep. I've been a fundraiser for most of my career, and I've been told "no" enough times to know that the nature of philanthropy is VOLUNTARY. #lindsaylohan
"Dr. Nathalie Maullin, a psychiatrist who treated Anna Nicole Smith for drug dependency, testified that she tried to set up a program to wean the pin-up off prescription painkillers but found the her uncooperative and hostile during her stay in the hospital."
Um, yeah. That's called withdrawal. Happens when you try to get off opiates. #lindsaylohan
@bluebears: Oh, yes. I would travel far and wide to see this woman. I hope I get to meet her someday. I do not think she will disappoint. #lindsaylohan
Kylie's a brave woman appearing in that Bollywood film. You could not pay me enough money to put myself out there for comparison with Bollywood beauties. #lindsaylohan
Okay, Carrie Prejean is an idiot and a bigot, but I can't be the only one that thinks it's outrageous for the pageant officials to tell her to get a boob job to help her win and then demand the money back when they don't like her anymore. #lindsaylohan
@yvanehtnioj: I agree. Not a big Prejean fan, but come on, pageant officials. It would be like me demanding my ex-bff's birthday present back because we don't get along anymore.
Ok, not quite like that, but there are similarities! #lindsaylohan
@yvanehtnioj: yep. as that great internet feminist Twisty writes (about Prejean)
"The poor deluded kid enboobified herself in order to appease her oppressor, and absorbed homophobic messages for the same reason. The whole fucking system is homophobic and loves huge tits. What’s the big surprise? Mocking women for getting boob jobs is juvenile and unsophisticated. What needs mocking is the system that requires the boob jobs. " #lindsaylohan
@yvanehtnioj: Where does it say they told her to get a boob job? Given her behavior since, I seriously doubt anyone forced her to do anything she didn't want to do. And while I agree it's petty of them, I can understand why the officials are angry enough to make the demand. #lindsaylohan
@yvanehtnioj: How is that clear? The reporting says they "fronted" the money, which can easily be interpreted as she asked them to pay for it. #lindsaylohan
I don't get the celebrity obsession with Kabbalah. I have studied it a little bit and it seems to me that Kabbalah and "mainstream" Judaism are really strongly connected. I don't understand how one could be a Kabbalist and not be Jewish, or at least not study Judaism first. Oh wait, I forgot. The Kabbalah Center is a cult that teaches a perverted version of my religion in order to get money from people like Madonna.
That being said, I eagerly await the inevitable Holy War between the Kabbalh Center and Scientology over control of Hollywood. I'm even going to make popcorn. #lindsaylohan
@boobookitteh: I hope Elie Wiesel went home and took a long hot shower to wash off the Axe, hair gel, and Ed Hardy dust. Hasn't he been though enough? #lindsaylohan
"Oh my god you just killed the mothership" is officially my phrase of the day. Drop a pencil? Step on my toes? Phone rings in the middle of class? Congratulations, you're officially a mothership murderer. #lindsaylohan
@AtomiClash: humanitarian misanthrope: I was always a fan of her art (seriously brilliant), but "meh" on her personally, but after reading her tweets, I kinda love her. #lindsaylohan
I am shocked to hear that an addict was "uncooperative and hostile" when someone tried to wean her off drugs. Simply shocked, I tell you! #lindsaylohan
