It seems that in celebrity-land fall is the season for
confessions and sincerity. Declarations keep on coming and, surprisingly or
not, they all turned out to be gay. Who would have thought? First Clay Aiken,
now Lindsay Lohan. Some of us knew it all along. Of course, we did not have the
strongly acknowledged certainty everybody is looking for, but sometimes mere
guesses are more important than thin confessions.
These simple hunches are the ones to be followed by
speculations, rumors, gossip and lots of buzz. They subsequently turn into
reports rejected by the stars’ representatives or publicists and, eventually,
lead to an honest and clean confession by the celebrity himself/herself.
It’s not that difficult, really. Evidently, when public
figures come out and turn upside down the closets in which they kept their
secrets, a lot of fuss is created. Although in the end it will prove to be much
ado about nothing, this is the way things go and you can’t stop it.
Following Lindsay Lohan’s Monday night’s “I am gay”
confession, papers filled the stands, online reports blocked fans’ computers
and daddies started talking, obviously.
Michael Lohan can’t leave things the way the are. Ever. And
Samantha Ronson is the one to blame. For what? For everything.
Michael Lohan hates to waste time when time means getting
his daughter back on the right (straight) track. Thus, he sent his latest
attack via e-mail to Fox’s Pop Tarts just to make sure the Michael Lohan-like
comments aren’t forgotten. In his much talked about e-mail, the actress’ dad
wrote that his daughter’s supposed girlfriend is “hideous” and “disgusting,”
accusing DJ Samantha Ronson of being the evil brain behind Lindsay’s most
recent MySpace blog entries. However, Michael Lohan did not stop here. He
continued to offend the disc jockey and criticize her lifestyle, the way she
dresses and the apartment she is living in.
This is not the first time Michael Lohan accuses Samantha
Ronson of being a negative influence in Lindsay’s life, as he claims Samantha
was the one to generate his daughter’s once-upon-a-time drinking issues.
As everything runs in the family, Lindsay Lohan herself
could not leave her father’s comments unanswered. Therefore, the actress told a
newspaper that her dad should be “on medication” to hold sway over his moods.
The 22-year-old star, who has been living with Samantha
Ronson for some months now, avoided to make clear the nature of her
relationship with Samantha until Monday. In her interview with the newspaper, Lindsay
Lohan added that the 31-year-old disc jockey was far from being evil and that
their feelings were mutual.
The actress made her confession on Monday night’s episode of
the “Loveline” syndicated radio show, when her supposed girlfriend called in to
talk about the plane crash in which DJ AM and ex-Blink 182 drummer were
involved. Nevertheless, Lindsay got to say a few words too and, guess what, she
said it. The star confessed that she and Samantha Ronson had been dating “for a
very long time.”
Well, that wraps things up. Who knows? Maybe the headlines
tomorrow will reveal yet another great gay-related confession.
