I admit it.  I like Lindsay Lohan.  Certainly, this is not a popular opinion, but I can't help it.  As an actress, I think that she has a natural and unaffected quality.  She was adorable in The Parent Trap and Mean Girls is one of the best teen movies of this decade.  A lot of Lohan-haters may be feeling some schadenfreude at her recent self-destruction, but I'd really like to see her pull a Drew Barrymore and come out of this period of her life a nicer, more centered person and a better actress.

It has been reported that Lindsay has checked into rehab.  I am definitely not a fan of the use of rehab as a PR tool (which seems to be happening with Hollywood types a lot lately), so I hope that Lindsay is truly trying to make a sincere attempt at recovery.  She is talented, charismatic, and very pretty.  Lindsay has definitely suffered from some pretty poor parenting, but plenty of people have overcome similar obstacles in their lives and have gone on to be positive, functioning members of society.  I believe Lindsay can do the same...if she wants to.

So what do you think?  In ten years, will we see Lindsay Lohan as an Academy Award nominee and owner of he own production company...or just another burnout?
