"She was crying and wanted to go home. She kept saying I don't pay for drinks! This is ridiculous!"

Hide your valuables and lock up your liquor: Is that the warning that should herald a visit from Lindsay Lohan? Based on her reputation for having allegedly sticky fingers – with the latest claim from a bar that was nearly left holding the bill for bottles of bubbly – that may not be such a bad idea.

Lohan, 23, was partying at the Crown Bar in Los Angeles Nov. 6, and, according to one onlooker, caused quite a scene when asked to ante up for her drinks.

"Lindsay stormed into the kitchen and grabbed two bottles of really expensive champagne. She finished both bottles with a friend. When the bartender gave her a bill, she had a meltdown," says the source. "She was yelling at him and screaming profanities at everyone. The bar insisted she pay, so she had to call a friend with her credit-card information."

Before the actress left the club around 2:30 a.m., the onlooker says, "She was crying and wanted to go home. She kept saying 'I don't pay for drinks! This is ridiculous! I'm freaking out!' "

1. She's so annoying that I would have guessed she was in her fifties

That is, she sure as hell seems to have been bothering people for at least that long.

[flvegan]

2. I'd call her a trainwreck, but you can clean up a trainwreck.

15. I would say more like a Nuclear Meltdown - Chernobyl is still trying to recover

just saying!

[graywarrior]

3. Poor kid has a serious alcohol problem

I was her at that age.

4. The parents seem to be part of the problem, too...

...if half of what's written about them in the tabloids is true, it goes a long way toward explaining why things turned out this way. There are just some people who should not be parents, despite their biological ability to reproduce.

9. Part? Probably 90%.

[gratuitous]

21. I knew it!

How long before we see LiLo abusing ducks? It's the next logical step . . .

[SKKY]

5. I've seen this movie before. I know how it ends...

...it was called "Anna Nicole Smith".

[XemaSab]

6. She's 10 years younger than I am

but she looks 10 years older. x(

[MilesColtrane]

7. While I do have a certain amount of sympathy for her...

part of me just wants to hole up with her in a hotel room with a giant bottle of Cuervo and a quarter ounce for 3 or 4 days.

8. Maybe Nancy Reagan was onto something with that "just say no" jive...

Lindsay Then:



Lindsay Now:

13. I don't remember Nancy Reagan speaking out agains alcohol abuse....

Lindsay may be doing some drugs, but it looks
like liquor is her REAL problem.

Just like most drug abusers.

10. I'm sorry, despite everything, I still think she's amazingly hot,

so I sympathize with her meltdown. She shouldn't be paying for anything.

Remember, only a couple of years ago, she was caught passed out after a night of drinking?

Who amongst you and me peons could look that good in our BEST of moments?

Cut the hottie some slack!

[Quantess]

11. I really hope she makes a Britney-style comeback.

She still has more to offer the world, if she doesn't completely self-destruct.

[LynneSin]

16. Britney had one parent stable enough to step in and take charge

Britney's father did a damn good job cleaning up Britney but basically she lost all control over her own self in order for that to happen. He basically took total control of every detail of her life, I think she even lost control of her money & all property. But in return we have a new Britney that has a chance of being a success.

Unfortunately for Ms. Lohen - neither of her parents are capable of taking this kind of control over her life and it seems that Lindsay's little sister (age 15) is going down the same exact destructive path

[cwydro]

12. Just pathetic.

Very sad. She will look awful before she is even 40.

[Orsino]

14. If you think you're too famous to pick up a check...

...hire somebody to take care of such things. It's not rocket science.

[MrsMatt]

17. My husband & I were just

talking about her the other day. Her parents are simply awful; it's no wonder she's turned out the way she has.

If she lives another 5 years, we'll be surprised.

[jobycom]

18. Who knows, it might even be true.

:shrug:

[arcadian]

19. Anybody else find it fucked up in this country

That those that are most capable of providing for themselves are given a free ride, while the poor and less capable are taxed to the hilt. Entitlement. She didn't even carry any form of payment, legal tender, credit cards, check, she was so sure she could just cruise through life by name recognition. We are so fucked.

[Deja Q]

20. many of these hollywood critters are selected for looks and ability to dance,

voice modulation used to shroud when not to sound "modern" or "techno".

Being able to provide for one's self is a different story, especially in today's "new normal"(tm).
