Okay, we'll say it up front... our New Year's pledge not to name Lindsay Lohan in our website for the rest of year lasted less than our vow to stay out of Dunkin' Donuts. However, we plead guilty - with an explanation and hope readers will show mercy on us. How in the world could we have known that Lohan would be involved in an erotic photo tribute that actually pertains to a classic movie icon? In 1962, photographer Bert Stern famously photographed Marilyn Monroe for her last publicity session. She committed suicide six weeks later and Stern's stunning photos have become part of pop culture legend. Now, New York magazine has arranged for Stern to recreate the session using Lindsay Lohan as a model - right down to a blonde Marilyn wig. The bizarre but sensual gimmick is bound to sell record numbers of magazines but even better is the news that the photos are posted on the publication's website. Talk about a humanitarian gesture! One of the reasons we vowed not to cover Lohan's outrageous activities (along with her two rivals for Bad Behavior Queen who shall remain unnamed), is that it became obvious that her daily exploits in self-destruction were having real consequences. Lohan, like the other two would-be divas, was spiraling into a state that could have resulted in her death - and there is nothing amusing about that scenario.
We don't have a clue as to whether Lohan is still violating her vows to get on the straight-and-narrow, but we can say this: the photographs prove this is not a malnourished, decaying woman. The provocative photos display some eye-popping images and Lohan seems none the worse for the wear.
