Lindsay Lohan: Rep Steve Honig Quits; She’s Being Paid In Cash; Will She Join The 27 Club?
October 26, 2012 by Hollywoodite
This time last week, Lindsay Lohan’s father was trying and failing to stage an intervention with the support of her entertainment lawyer, her criminal lawyer, and her manager. All of whom were present on an email chain co-signing and arranging plans with her boyfriend in hopes of forcing her to get help. Missing from the list of supporters was her former rep, Steve Honig, the guy who sounded increasingly weary with every rebuttal because it had became his job to rebut crack-drama after crack-crime after crack hit-and-run and all his statements ended up sounding pretty much like “You know she did it, I know she did it, so stop bothering me with this s**t.”
And he got tired enough of the drama to leave Thursday evening, because he disapproved of how Michael Lohan handled the press during the intervention (and, probably, how he handled the failed conservatorship).
They worked together for two years but, as of today, the actress is without representation.
In other news, following on from blind items in December that the actress was paid $15,000 cash to staged bikini photos for a shill paparazzi agency, TMZ.com also says Lohan was paid in cash for a promotional appearance this week. Apparently, after being paid $150,000 cash to hold soda on the red carpet for a few seconds, she gave the money to her elder brother to hold in his account because she’s horrible at managing her own money.
And, finally, National Enquirer appears to be regurgitating a story from five years ago about how Lohan’s on death watch (she, Britney Spears, and Amy Winehouse were on the same watch in around 2006… Spears turned it around, we lost Winehouse, and Lohan’s still being… Lohan). Moreover, one reporter says she may join the infamous 27 Club. Lohan is currently 26-years-old.
Folks, I’m not easily shocked, but…YIKES…fellow gossiper/old pal Liz Smith, who dished dirt for decades with trademark gentility at the New York Post and is now syndicated nationally, blew my mind when she suddenly started a Death Countdown Clock tick-tocking on wild child Lindsay Lohan, aka God’s Gift to Gossip!
After rhapsodizing about meeting LiLo as a young actress, and finding her totally adorable and talented, Liz went rogue and wrote: “I can’t trash her even now… I can only beg somebody to step in and take action before the next headline is: ‘Lindsay Dead.’ I have this awful creepy feeling that she is going to join the ‘27 Club’… all those stars like Janis [Joplin] and Jimi [Hendrix] and Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, etc., who passed at that age. (Heath Ledger was 28. Close enough.)”
WHOA, Liz: I pray, as do many readers I suspect, that this talented girl, shoved down the road to Hell way too young by money-grubbing parents Dina and Michael Lohan, will finally get strong… and get straight!
Despite my many shocking scoops about LiLo’s peccadilloes I’ve never seen her as a real Mean Girl… so, folks, join Liz Smith and me in a heartfelt moment of prayer for LiLo, starting…NOW! – via National Enquirer.
