Lindsay.

I have a confession.

I'm rooting for Lindsay Lohan.

I know, I know. She is a hot mess. I know. Seriously. I. KNOW. 

But really, there is something about her that just seems so sad. And real. And genuine. And I feel like she really wants to be great and good and wonderful and she just somehow, somewhere lost her way.

Her new show on Oprah's network, OWN, premiered a few weeks ago and I am hooked. Within the first ten minutes I was reminded that her career started in 1997, with The Parent Trap. (Ohmygosh, how cute was she in this movie??!!) Flash forward 10 years to 2007...she had 2 DUI convictions, 36 months probation, and 3 stays in rehab. Whoa. But wait...there's more. From 2010 to 2012, she had a theft charge, violation of probation, and stays 4 and 5 in rehab.

Yowza. That's a lot, right? Like a crazy amount of no good. And a crazy amount of rehab. 5 stays in rehab?? I don't understand how that happens. I really don't. In one episode Oprah said, "You need to cut the bullshit. You really do. Just cut the bullshit." YES, Lindz. Yes. Cut it. And also, GOD, I love Oprah.

So yeah, I'm rooting for Lindsay. My wish for her is to just get it together and prove everyone wrong. I hope this opportunity with Oprah and her network is the wake up call she so desperately needs and desperately wants.

You can do it, Lilo! I'm cheering for you!
