- From a ridiculous piece on Amanda Seyfried:
“Will she deal with the sudden fame, money and attention in a level-headed way, keeping her personal life in check while carefully choosing projects to build a long-term career? Or will she pull what can only be called ‘a Lohan,’ falling down a wormhole of nightclubbing, booze and broken dreams that can only end in one of two ways: with a straight-to-DVD sex tape, or worse, a spot on the judging panel of America’s Got Talent?” Ugh. Seriously? This is the best example of building up and tearing down. WTF. Another preposterous line: “Seyfried has said she probably won’t get married for at least 10 years. Uh oh.” Unmarried wimmenz are out of control!!! [NY Post]
