An interesting thing happened in 2004

As a member of the American people, I often cannot help but get a little too caught up in the private lives of celebrities. Our culture has gotten to the point that there are several people who are celebrities, or famous, just for being famous. These people did absolutely nothing to get where they are, but people still want and need to know everything about them. One person who has fallen into this crevice of humanity is Lindsay Lohan. However, Lohan at one point was doing something to earn her fame, and not only that, she was on the verge of becoming a big star, but something very interesting happened in 2004.

In 2004 a little movie called Mean Girls was released. This film was definitely designed to be a launching pad for Lohan, and to a lesser extent some of the other young female stars in Hollywood. However, the background actresses took charge and have ended up easily surpassing Lohan and have managed to stay relevant if not on the rise. No doubt Rachel Mcadams took off the most and has thrived ever since, Amanda Seyfried struggled out of the box originally but is now becoming a threat within hollywood, and lets not forget that an older star in Tina Fey also basically got her main start on this movie by acting in it and actually writing the flick. Also, you have to remember that Lacey Chabert was a member of the mean girls, and while she is not a huge star in hollywood, she is constantly working for several cartoons and in several bit parts all the while not being in the tabloids.

As you can see the film did not go the way that Lohan had expected, and I believe that her animosity towards the other people in the movie is what ultimately crushed her. She has never gotten over the fact that Mcadams and Seyfried have continued to work in great movies. There is no doubt in my mind that Lohan does not regret doing this movie and having people think of her verses Mcadams whenever they remember it.

Sorry about your damn luck. Lindsay, what you need to do is disappear completely for a long time, five or ten years and then come back in a dramatic or comedic role ala Travolta. Either way you better do something. Thanks for reading
