Plum Miami Magazine’s Lindsay Lohan Cover Story Is A Bust
July 13, 2011 by Hollywoodite
…through no fault of their own, mind you. But, yeah, the story’s a complete and utter mess. Not least because, after days of being shadowed by the interviewer, there was no sit-down interview that took place after an extensive photo shoot. Pretty much, Plum Miami’s Jacquelynn D. Powers was worn-out by the boozehound/ crack-shenanigans and she gave up before getting that far.
There’s a preview of Lindsay Lohan’s Plum Miami cover story, in which she’s portrayed as an excitable and demanding mess who’s surrounded by equally-dysfunctional hangers-on. Lohan refers to herself by name, so people know she’s a celeb-ri-dee, and she’s written to be petulant as she is arrogant.
So, it’s pretty much what you would expect from a piece about some poor writer who trailed around Miami, slack-jawed at what she saw. The profile/ ‘interview’s’ a mess. And so was Lohan.
Okay, so here’s the preview and there are some quotes from Lohan herself in a behind-the-scenes video from the magazine.
Powers shadowed Lohan in south Florida during the Plum Miami photo shoot and they were scheduled to do an interview, before Lohan’s house arrest. Upon meeting Lohan, Powers remarks: “In the chauffeured Lincoln Navigator, it was all about puffing Parliament Lights and Miami chitchat with her entourage. Lindsay traveled with a revolving pack of pseudo-chaperones, whose most responsible member was her 17-year-old sister, Aliana.”
Powers describes Lohan’s arrogance and mood swings: “As we pulled up to the Fontainebleau, a bright-orange parking cone was blocking the entrance,” Powers writes. “Not accustomed to waiting, apparently, she lowered the car’s window and shouted, ‘Move that cone. I’m Lindsay Lohan.’ And it was done. This foreshadowed the arrogance and demanding personality she exhibited as her sweet-girl façade started slipping.”
Powers on Lohan as a person, in person: During another moment of observation, Powers noted that “Lindsay’s aura, while professional, seemed almost melancholy. She was pretty and talented, albeit a little sad and weary. And constantly looking for drama, whether it was picking a fight with her younger sister… or freaking out over a lost pair of Zanotti heels.”
Powers confirms that alcoholic Lohan is still a boozehound: “Saturday was another night at LIV, and all that implies. Sunday was an all-day party in the penthouse and on the beach. When I arrived at The Raleigh at 7 p.m. to conduct my interview, even her handlers were incoherent. Car services were sent and rebuffed. Even Aliana departed, but Lindsay wouldn’t end the party… it was like watching the lights come on at a nightclub after-hours… not pretty.”
Powers admits Lohan’s drama was too much for her: “I never got my interview,” Powers wrote. “My associates and I were exhausted from the constant demands, drama, outbursts, cancellations and tsoris from the Lohan clique.” – via Plum Miami.
