Lindsay Lohan seeks corporate sponsors for her birthday extravaganza



Forget costume parties, dinners and nights out at a club, Lindsay Lohan has hired a marketing firm to arrange her 22nd birthday. Their duty: to track down corporate sponsors, because lord knows Lindsay ain’t paying for crap. Besides, what kid wants to plan a party when they can design leggings? What’s in it for the sponsors? Well it will be "an internationally media worthy event” after all. And, like, Lindsay will totally love you for it. Check out the pics for more info on the Moroccan themed birthday. [Gawker]








Do you think celebrity birthday bashes have gone too far?

    WOW!!! I know celebs tend to be conceited but this just takes the cake! She actually thinks that corporations are tripping over each other to be the lucky ones to pay for her birthday party!!! Pardon my language but WTF!?!?!?!

    I confess to being a LiLo fan-- as long as we're talking Mean Girls and Freaky Friday. Not so fond of her more "grown up" stuff lately. That being said-- she's a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. WHO EXACTLY IS GOING TO SPONSOR HER PARTY??

    Beer and liquor companies can't do it-- it would look like they are sponsoring a relapse. She can't let beer or liquor companies do it because she'll look like the addict party chick she's been trying to put behind her (and the latest gossip suggests she's backsliding).

    So. .who's going to sponsor it?? Countrytime Lemonade and Betty Crocker?? A make-up company? Home Depot? K-mart? I'm sure that will bring in the who's who crowd from Hollywood in droves.

    Besides, until she gets her career back on track and proves she's worth her weight in Hollywood box office receipts again, she might as well be a has-been. And big-time sponsors don't line-up to pay for birthday parties for has-beens and problem children.

    There are times we have to take a deep breath and instead of being critical ask, "what can we learn from this, especially the young girls and boys influenced by the constant press given to those in the spotlight.

    Easy to say we know what we do not want for ourselves and our kids.

    There are two sides to the coin. Lets be aware of what we want.

    These kids have more security in the material world sense than many of us will have in a lifetime and our kids lifetime.

    If you notice when they are really down and out they sport the symbolic red string bracelet from the Kabalah, carry Spiritual and Self help books for the cameras to flash.

    To me this is a scream for help to know who they really are. The material world is not going to give you that completely. It will not "give" them or us security, self-esteem and inner peace.

    The symbolic bracelet, books and OM tattoos well they will not in the physical sense but the energy behind them will.

    These kids and adults are in search what we are all in search of. TRUTH. And in the silence of mind, peace of heart and understanding of lifes challenges is the answer. How does one get to this place? We all personally are faced with the opportunity to do so. It is called free will. It begins with understanding who we are as a human being but also as a Spiritual being.. it seems to me the latter is always missing in the rehabilitation. (At least from what is printed) Yet the call for help is clear in the red bracelet and books..We must all take this responsibility on, teach our children at an early age how to understand their feelings, good and confusing ones, happy and angry ones. acceptance and rejection, the list goes on. But the catch is we must do for ourselves first. So lets send them light and strength instead of criticism. We are one big melting pot of emotions and thoughts so let be responsible for them, nurture and heal them. Also be grateful for all you have as much or as little as that may be at this second it could change tomorrow to show you how strong you really are.Thanks for listening.. Beth L

    What in the heck is wrong with this country? Why should companies pay to sponser some spoiled has-been's birthday party? How long has it been since this idiot girl has had a hit movie or done anything worthwhile? Why aren't people saying "No, this is not acceptable behavior" to these stupid party girls? Why should their every whim be catered to? What's even worse is that undoubtedly Lindsay Lohan's big birthday bash will be all over E! News, Entertainment Tonight and the Insider and in Us Weeklly and People and people will watch the shows and buy the magazines. We're so shallow that we're not only allowing this ridiculous behavior, we're funding it!
