Lohan Admits to Bulimia, Drug Use
Foxnews ^ | Wednesday, January 04, 2006 | By Kate Sheehy

Tinseltown teen queen Lindsay Lohan has finally 'fessed up to doing drugs — and becoming so bulimic that she couldn't stand the sight of her own skeletal figure.

In an explosive new magazine interview, the freckled "Freaky Friday" star blames her train-wreck teen years on an emotionally destructive dad, killer stress from the cutthroat Hollywood biz, and her heartbreaking bust-up with hunky first-love actor Wilmer Valderrama.

"I was sick ... I had people sit me down and say, 'You're going to die if you don't take care of yourself,' " the star admits in the latest issue of Vanity Fair, which hits newsstands today.

that is what my husband says, that men like curvy woman, not some stick. When we met I thought there was no way he was going to be attractive to me cause I was just a little tiny bit overweight(not fat), but he said he was drooling over me when we were dating. We were married in 9 months of dating and to this day he says he got hooked cause I was more of a natural woman, lol! Some woman just don't understand most men like a Marylin Monroe body, not a Paris Hilton body!

I think Ann Coulter has a lovely face and excellent hair, but she does need to eat!

Paula said it looked like you - and you had done that at your last job... I think that's what she said.

Ya I said it....

That second pic could be Ann-Margret. It's uncanny.

Lohan's damage-controlling manager mom, Dina, is quoted as quickly adding, "She took it a little too far, maybe . . . but it wasn't as bad as it looked.

"Honey, looking almost like Karen Carpenter isn't that bad"

Hey mom, tell her the truth or STFU

"My sister, she was scared," the actress says. "My brother called me, crying."

Lohan's damage-controlling manager mom, Dina, is quoted as quickly adding, "She took it a little too far, maybe . . . but it wasn't as bad as it looked.

Lohan's confession that she battled bulimia was a far cry from what she had told another interviewer less than a year ago amid growing speculation over her rail-thin figure.

Then, a defiant Lohan insisted, "[The doctor] was like, 'Are you anorexic? Are you making yourself throw up? Are drugs involved?'

"And I was like, 'Are you saying this because you've read it in magazines? Because I don't!' " Lohan said at the time.

* She smothered boyfriend Valderrama to the point of breakup because "I didn't have anyone [else] to go to" with problems.

She openly talks of her attraction to older guys like Johnny Depp, whom she favors because "he's edgy and . . . dirty."

But all she will say about rumored latest love Jared Leto is, "We're great friends."

* She tried to cope with her emotional woes by shopping — once spending $100,000 in one day.

* Finding herself at the end of her rope while writing the song "Confessions of a Broken Heart," she "literally had a breakdown in [a] hotel room" that ended with her sobbing uncontrollably as she frantically called the Nassau County jail to try to talk to her con dad. She says she wound up reaching only her brother — and vowing to quit the biz until she straightened her life out.




I had no idea she had such a messed up family life.

My feelings about this is pretty simple: If you can't eat what you like to eat, what's the good in living?

Three BBQ pork sandwiches coming up!

I really liked Linsey in Parent Trap. It is too bad she had to get in the fast lane. Being a teenage star is tough. Lots of money and power and too little maturity. I hope she gets her act together.

So La Linds has been eating all of those generously offered FReeper ham sandwiches. She just kinda ate them twice. Maybe with a burp in-between? Now her big thing is to tilt her head down slightly with just a hint of a closed-mouth smile and bedroom eyes. I'm sorry guys...I just think that she's kinda fakey and insecure. We girls notice these subtleties...things that happen while you bear-type guys are entranced and weak-kneed. LOL.

I guess at least she has copped to owning a scale...unlike pose-n-paparazzi-meister-extraodinaire Nicole Richie, who'se been claiming for months that she doesn't know how much she weighs because she doesn't own a scale. Why the need to include the silly qualifier? My bet is that she has a blinged-out Vuitton version. ;-)

I've now commenced meowing and running for cover. And hi guys...bye guys.

Hey to ya, B. Hope you've been well lately, big lug. :-)

I guess it does answer the question about about her chest. Clearly she should have just told all the reporters "By the way they're real and they're spectacular." At least when she had them.
