Lindsay Lohan Hits Puberty, Won't Go Nude For An Oscar

It's been WEEKS since I mentioned our favorite shrinking starlet. Here's the Lo-Down you so crave...

THE WEEK IN LOHAN

LA hasn't been kind to Lindsay Lohan. Last week the paparazzi tried to kill her. Then at Tuesday's premiere of Herbie: Fully Loaded, Lindsay stormed off when she learned her big song had been moved from the race scene to the closing credits!

Now in NYC, she's in better spirits. During a whirlwind two-day talk show tour she hit The Today Show, Letterman, The View, and Conan O'Brien. If you didn't Tivo Letterman, you missed this explanation for her disappearing figure:

I just hit puberty. You grow up, you learn, you eat healthier, you work out, and your body's changing ... I will eventually take a break and just live my life and just relax and find something to do. But when I'm not working I don't know what to do with myself!
And on Access Hollywood yesterday, L. Lo told Billy Bush:
You will never see me in a nude scene. Then there's no mystery for my private life ... I don't think that's what needed to win an Oscar for me. Personally I think there's other things you can do to show people that you have talent.
On The Today Show she told Matt Lauer she wants a career like Jodie Foster's and she hates the term "partying." You might've also read Lindsay's uncle was arrested Tuesday for scamming money from a government loan intended for small businesses affected by 9/11. And that she's dating Elefant's Diego Garcia.

Lohan turns 19 next Saturday. She will celebrate by watching Live 8 with Nicole Richie and blowing out a birthday cake fashioned out of nicotine and diet pills.

Hit puberty....at 18? Huh? Wha?

Poor girl. Poor deluded girl. She's 18 and so horribly mixed-up. No wonder she's starving herself to death. I think she's just lost touch with reality.

I pity her more and more every day.

she does have a pretty face, but it used to be prettier when she was FAT, but I dont know if she's confused or not, I just dont think she's very smart. Her body is pretty ugly now though so I dont know if anybody wants to see her in a nude scene for the oscars.

So she's post-pubescent now? Yes! Finally. It's just a shame that now that there's grass on the field, no one wants to play ball.

Seriously, though, does anyone else see this excuse as highly ironic seeing as how her "puberty" has caused her to lose her boobs and hips and that she probably doesn't get her period anymore now, either? Hmm. I guess puberty sounds better on the talk show circuit than diet pills and coke.

How many times has Lindsay Lohan gone through puberty now?

I wonder if that's going to be her excuse when she starts molesting little boys(girls?) at her secluded ranch in Santa Barbara.

Linsay look awful as a skinny-ass blonde. I liked her better as a curvier red-head. What girl hits puberty at 18, I mean come on! Statistics have shown that girls are hitting puberty earlier and earlier now-a-days, some as young as 8 or 9. I used to like lohan but not anymore!

I don't think she looks that bad. The first skinny pictures were scary. Now the worst part is her hair, skin tone and choice of attire. I think the real difference is that now she hit the Hollywood mode. Before she was different, and that's how we liked her.

I don't really like where Lohan is heading at this point, but it was kinda fucked for Disney to reduce her boobs for the movie. From what I hear she is supposed to be playing a 20 year in this movie if I am not mistaken, how freaking innocent is a 20 year redhead bombshell gonna be? It makes me sick actually, I would not be surprised if this one of the reasons she has gotten so sickly stickly.

You bitches is fag. First off i wanna say she looks amazing. Especially in the pic on the right. Her hair is dyed blonde for a new movie she is working on and as far as the puberty thing is concerned girls do hit puberty at 12 and 13 but it doesn't mean they dont keep changing for years after or else every girl would look like a 13 year old. all the girls i know changed a hell of a lot from 13 to 18. im sure she is on a health trip and instead of going off to college and gaining the freshman 15, she's workin her ass off making mad money. And so what if she does a little drugs and parties? Don't we all, unless your a loser. Leave the poor girl alone and get off her cooch. Fools.

Disney did not digitally alter her breasts to sex down the movie. Come on now! Use that large round object on top of your neck and THINK. WHY would they waste millions of dollars on minimizing her breasts digitally when all they had to do was freaking duct tape the puppies and stick her in a turtle-neck?

Chaka, no need to get snappy.

I heard that this happened and it is not like it's never been done before. Either way, perhaps they didn't think about it until after the movie was finished. Either way, I used my "round object" and inquired of a few different sources, I see that the director did deny this.

I think Susan hit the nail on the head - the bottom line is that she's just not all that bright.
I don't fel sorry for her per se, but it's got to suck being surrounded by managers, publicists, etc (not to mention those poor excuses for parents) all trying to "maximize your earning potential", especially when you don't have the smarts to come up with realistic alternatives.
Same goes for her image, such as it is. Whether or not you agree, a huge percentage of her "public" thinks it's "hot" to look like an anorexic call girl. As such, I'm sure there aren't many people around her telling her it's wrong, and it's doubtful she can come up with an alternative with the limited means at her disposal.
As for the Oscar comment - wow. Not that having one is proof that you can act, but - judging from the performances of hers that I've seen - it's just not going to happen, girl.

They did reduce the size of her breasts on some of the posters for the movie, and they also put her in the background on some, as well, because her breasts were considered too large for her young fanbase.

I say whatevs to all of this...and I hope she gets her breasts back someday. I'm sure the plastic surgeon held on to the implants and shows them to his plastic surgeon friends at dinner parties.

As far as this supposed digital reduction of Lohan breastices goes, I can say that I saw a trailer for Herbie a few weeks ago and that cannot be true. I'm sure half of the contract hinged on her not losing her boobs--wouldn't you know she coked them away right before the premiere after all that pressure.

I think Lindsay should hurry up to college and take biology classes ASAP cuz it seems she doesn't have a clue about what puberty is. If she was more educated, she would know that puberty usually happens between the ages of 12 and 20 that and involves some serious weight gain around the hips. In her case, this process happened a year ago when she was curvy and shaped like a Coke bottle. But it seems she's definitlely out of puberty, now that she lost all this extra fat.... Personaly, prefered the old Lindsay cuz she was more authentic, glowing and sexy. She was the hottest red-haired teen in the planet. But nnow she looks like a pale clone of Kate Bosworh or Paris Hilton. She completely destroyed her, once, appealing and yummy figure. Now she looks like Skeletor...Doesn't she know that guys usually prefer fleshy women?

People, quit making fun of Lindsay Lohan. It's called rumours. Like her video, she just wants to be herself but the paparazzi won't let her be. It's sickening the way you are making fun of her. And even if Diego is going out with her, it's because he loves her for who she is.

I'll admit, I liked Lindsay a lot when she was different from all those Hollywood Actors and Actresses who are stuck up. Most of them aren't but there are a few who stick out like sore thumbs. I still like Lindsay she is a fanominal actress and singer. And as for that picture of her to the left at the top of the page I think she looks gorgeous.

Well, well, well aren't we all full of ourselves. I bet each and everyone of you that hate Lindsay are so jealous of her and if you hate her breasts means you don't have any. Lindsay is a beautiful person and who died and made all of you god. We are not here to judge anyone. I think you all need to get a life and leave her alone. If you believe everything you read then you have no brains to realize that it's all crap and made up or exagerated. This crap about molesting children was way out of line and I think you got her confussed with Michael Jackson. You are a sick person to think of people that way. Maybe you do it and want to hide behind Lindsay. Shame on you. What a bunch of two faced people. You all wish you looked as good as she does and who says that it's really her. You know that they can put her head on another body and make it seem like it's hers just so you all can make comments. Just remember, what comes around goes around. I think she was using the word puberty as a metaphore or you all so stupid you don't know what that means. Think about it.
