Virginia Madsen upset over Lindsay Lohan questions
Sideways star Virginia Madsen, having befriended Lindsay Lohan on the set of the new Robert Altman film A Prairie Home Companion, has come out in defense of the teenager, insisting she has to answer unsavory questions the media would never ask of boys. "(In) every interview I read, somebody was asking her about her weight and, 'Do you throw up in the bathroom?' I mean, no one asks teenage boys, 'Do you have pubic hair yet? What size are your balls?' Whereas they'll ask a teenage girl, 'Are you still a virgin?'"
Where is this woman from? Hell, when I was a teenager, people were always asking me about the size of my balls. I'd be like "hi" and they'd be like "Hi! So...how big are those balls of yours?" And I'd be like "Should we really be discussing this in church?" But the reason nobody asks these questions is that, unless you're a reporter for Naked Boy Balls Weekly, the answers aren't gonna sell a lot of magazines. That's probably a good thing.

Virgina Madsen does have a point.

I'm sure if Frankie Muniz was hanging his balls out in public and they were huge and then the next day they were tiny, mag covers would read, "Frank Muniz's Ball Tragedy." If Lohan doesn't like the attention, she should not have hung her boobs out in the first place.
I do agree with what Virginia Madsen said though -- girls are held to a double-standard and exploited and it pains me. It pains me so much, I just sent her into the kitchen to make me a pie and a cartoon-sized sandwich to console me. Gin-gin, don't forget the mayo and Dijonaise and also I like when you draw smileys on my napkins. Don’t make me hit you again.

If you saw Lindsay Lohan walking down the street and she was not famous would any of you guys think she was beautiful? I don't think so cuz she's butt ugly. What's worse is she has billions of freckles & moles all over her body.
Did you know her stylists spent 2 weeks coming up with that shade of blonde? It looks like she bought a cheap box of hair dye and did it herself.

She does look awful with blonde hair. She was very attractive when she was healthy and a redhead.

Given the fact "Gin-gin's" (thanks to comment #3) career is not much of anything, I chalk it up to she is just salty no one has asked her if she throws up in the bathroom or has pubic hair."
I say just answer the damn questions we already know the answers to. Get over yourself already.

Well Lindsay made her bed she should lie in it. People are just concerned about her skeletal figure and she is a role model (unfortunately) for young girls so I think she should answer for her appearance.

Fucking Hilarious

#3 pretty much says it all.
I never had much of an opinion of Virginia Madsen before (other than a subliminal association of nice cans), but based on those comments I'd have to say that she is among great thinkers such as Plato, Freud, and Eienstein. And by "Plato, Freud, and Eienstein" I mean "Paris, Britney, and Jessica".
Another Hollywood bimbo who has done herself a disservice by saying anything other than her lines.

Virgina Madsen's the man! That's true I never thought of that...I want to know how big George Clooney's balls are...but no reporter has the guts to ask...it;s a shame. Sexism is fun! :D
11. Posted by snark on March 1, 2006 11:59 AM
Most of these comments are just proving Virginia Madsen's point that there is a sexist double standard when it comes to female stars. Why aren't we discussing Josh Hartnett's weight? Or whether Frankie Muniz is still a virgin? For chrissakes!
12. Posted by Tetsuo on March 1, 2006 12:14 PM
Because 1) who gives a fuck about Josh Hartnett, and 2) if there was any justice in the world Muniz would die a virgin, but he's probably fucked more women than I've even seen.
Plus if Josh Hartnett had suddenly become about 10 kg in weight people would be asking if he was on crack, and if Muniz had been talking about being all chaste and shit and then been caught in a cross-gender multiperson orgy you bet your arse people'd be asking fucking questions.
And then there's ANOTHER point - because women like to get bitchy at more famous/richer women than them and like to take any chance to take a shot, and men like to ogle hot women and grieve over the loss of a gorgeous set of titties.

Virginia Madsen isn't pointing out anything we didn't already know. I also think the double-standard stinks, but it's not going to change anytime soon. So if you choose to work in Hollywood, you better be prepared for the crap that goes along with it. Nobody said life was fair.
14. Posted by snark on March 1, 2006 12:28 PM
Yeah, it's in Hollywood and everywhere else...apparently L-Lo is ugly, her freckles are revolting, and Virginia Madsen is a bimbo with a dead-end career.
15. Posted by layla on March 1, 2006 12:52 PM
I think it to be fine that the public criticizes female celebrities. I am a female myself, but these young female celebs have absolutely no respect for themselves. They stupid things for attention, and always trying to be sexy when we all know they are as ugly as Madusa herself. You don't see these young guy celebs going around, 'hey, look at my balls, hey, ny pants are so tight you can see my sack, and it's Biggg!' So the females exploit themselves. Yes, are you a virgin ms. lohan, ms. hilton, etc, etc.? Why not ask? A slut is a slut is a slut, and these females should not believe that we live in a society where women can slut and be left alone ...it just doesn't happen. Hail to he who dawgs the slut, for she deserves it.
16. Posted by gogoboots on March 1, 2006 12:55 PM
I think Virginia should shut her piehole, we all what to know what Lindsay's weight is and how many times she pukes in the bathroom! it's the reason for our existence!
17. Posted by Cheyenne_1 on March 1, 2006 12:57 PM
I agree: Virginia Madsen does have a point and anyone who saw Sideways knows she rocks.
Getting an Oscar nomination last year might mean a washed up career, yeah...but then again, it might not.
Her point would have more sense to it if starlets like Lohan didn't get a fee that could pay off the Somalian national debt just for doing an frigging interview. People pay for "celebrity" and questions like that come with the territory, sorry Ginny.
I think they really ought to start asking guys questions about their balls, though -- that double-standard is smarmy.
18. Posted by layla on March 1, 2006 01:03 PM
Come on people, let's dump the 'female feminism, power, girly rocks don't put double standards on us' bullcrap! Young guys don't walk around with their ass cheeks hanging out going, 'do u von to spank mi azz?' or shirts open rubbing their nipples, they simply be who they are with occational busts ...never to we hear of them fighting over who is more popular, or who ate the most raw meat or banged the most bimbos. Yet, young female celebs seem to fight and argue, plead for attention and then go and pounce as many of the male species they can. They flaunt their bodies claiming they are all real, and go bulimic and snorexic as if it is the norm. As I am a female, most females suck, and I say no better for them. If your boobs are fake, own up to it, if you are a slut, then you are ...Don't front. Hopefully a double standard will teach these non-users of a douche to clean themselves up a bit and act like a young. repsectful lady dammit!

Hey Layla,
Are a virgin? Or a slut? Or just angry, overweight and overlooked? Just wondering?
23. Posted by BoardBetty on March 1, 2006 01:32 PM
I don't think that most of those probing questions have much to do with a double standard and if they did, I don't think the stars should care all that much. Let's face it - good PR, bad PR, it's still PR and every little bit that makes it onto the tabloids and into the news keeps that star(let) in the public eye. Which is exactly what she/he wants along with her manager.
By the way, does Ms. Madsen think that stars are the only ones who receive tasteless questions or comments? Good lord, woman! Live in the real world where people largely have no manners and etiquette.
24. Posted by layla on March 1, 2006 01:42 PM
Bellisima,
I am not a virgin, or a slut, overweight or overlooked. A little angry though. These young female celebs just really bug me.
25. Posted by Spindoc on March 1, 2006 01:47 PM
What double standard? When Matthew Perry lost weight and was very thin, all the papers were asking what was wrong, and he came out and said he was trying to get healthy and in shape and was pleased with the weight loss....then he ended up in rehab and it turns out the weight loss was from being a drug addict. But that just proves the point, hey, along with the EXTRA publicity that young starlets get over young stars, goes along the extra scrutiny. I'm sure lots of young male stars would kill for 1/4 the amount of write-ups that Lindsay and Jessica get for doing nothing.

SNARK POSTED: Why aren't we discussing Josh Hartnett's weight? Or whether Frankie Muniz is still a virgin? For chrissakes!
REPLY: Because Josh Hartnett is dead [I'm pretty sure that must be true] and Franky Muniz is obviously banged in the ass by his butch boyfriend five to seven times a day. People don't want to read about Frankie Muniz's butt rodeo when they can read Lindsay Lohan's hilarious lies about her not-so-private life.
27. Posted by Cheyenne_1 on March 1, 2006 03:34 PM
Nah, there's no double-standard. I really love the makeup and clothes male stars wear and all the attention they get for that.
layla, you wrote " As I am a female, most females suck"...
Well, that's only if their boyfriends are lucky, hun.
28. Posted by gogoboots on March 1, 2006 04:22 PM
uhm that picture is old, just show her with darker hair she looks much better...
29. Posted by gogoboots on March 1, 2006 04:26 PM
layla, women don't suck, we just can be nasty to each other and then we compare ourselves with these bimbo lollipop heads who will be forgotten in a year or so (i certainly wish Paris above all others would just die in a mysterious car accident or something)and then we'll be like remember this slut, she ran around with her boobs popping out everywhere and now she's on Flavor Flav's show (that's a great idea whoa!). Anyway, my point is, women are great, just some are airheads and care about nothing but their $500 pair of shoes.

Another Virginia Madsen quote:
"I hope Britney doesn't get bummed out that Lindsey is a better singer. It is not Lindsey saying it, it's me. Lindsey would never say that. She's an actress first. It's just a bonus that she can dance and sing. "
Yep. They've had sex. They did it for the kids.

There's actually a story on imdb "news" section about Clooney's private parts (it also involves Roseanne Barr...no that's scary). No mention about the size of the balls though.
Clooney Denies Barr's Genital Claims
George Clooney has laughed off Roseanne Barr's outrageous claims they once got so drunk together he allowed her to keep a photograph of his genitals, insisting she has twisted the truth. The comedienne recently alleged that Clooney, who found fame as Booker Brooks on her sitcom Roseanne, posed for the saucy picture during a raucous drinking session, and allowed her to display the image in her kitchen. She said, "We were all drunk, John Goodman took a picture of George naked with Groucho Marx glasses over his private area and we used to have that on the fridge." However, while the Oscar-nominee admits the tale is partly true, he insists Barr played no part in his puerile prank. He tells the New York Daily News, "I called it The Face. But I knew better than to do it at that stage of my career. I must have told her the story."

"I mean, no one asks teenage boys, 'Do you have pubic hair yet? What size are your balls?'"
Actually there are people who ask this. They're called child molesters. Other favourites include "wanna take some pictures?" and "Are your underwear clean or dirty?"
35. Posted by Tania on March 1, 2006 06:58 PM
Layla: I do agree with your point about passing off breast implants as real and people like Nicole Richie who clearly aren't healthy but insist "I'm naturally very thin", etc. I have a lot of respect for someone like Sharon Osbourne who will admit that she wasn't happy with how she looked so she did something about it. She didn't just insist that she started using a new face cream and is drinking more water.
As for the story: I'm sure Jake Gyll-something and Heath Ledger were asked risque questions while doing press for Brokeback Mountain. That's how the media is - invasive. Generally speaking of course, men just won't blab about everything like women do.

At the next interview, Lohan should just pull out her taped-down penis and shake it at the interviewer.
37. Posted by Roderick on March 1, 2006 10:13 PM
Women make the double standards, and are completely to blame, because if more women started publicly caring about male celebrities in the same way men care about female celebrities (What woman is counting down to a male celebrities 18th birthday?). If women were hornier this would never happen.
Oh, and I for one think Lindsay 1. Looks awesome with blonde hair. 2. Looks awesome with black hair. 3. Is still rediculously gorgeous. And hey, freckles can be hot.

Virginia Madsen is the type of woman who complains about how women show their breasts onscreen all the time so why can't men show their penises? A. Breasts are not equivalent to a man's penis, their clitoris is.
The comment "what size are your balls?" is not equivalent to a question regarding ones virginity. The comment "is your hymen still intact?" or "is your vagina tight?" would be equivalent. I'm so sick of women complaining about double standards and being victims and then using the same things their bitching about to further their careers. The smart hollywood women don't complain about crap, they just look as "f..able" as possible and collect their paychecks. Gimme a break V.Madsen is only saying this now because no one wants to see her old tits anymore. I can remember a time early in her career when I saw plenty of her tits and I'm sure she wasn't bitching about all the "problems" women have in hollywood and the boo-hoo double standards.. she was floppin around like a blond whore and collecting a paycheck. Stick to your once in a lifetime dream roles you were SOOO lucky to get in "Sideways" and let the young hollywood bimbos go thru their own crap they bring on themselves..

Sweet Jesus, the misogynists are out in full force today.
12, gotta love how you point out how bitchy women are for slagging off famous rich celebrities off the same sex, while criticising two male celebrities who are undoubtedly wealthier than you.
layla, I remember you from the Brangelina topics! Weren't you the one talking about how you have to get knocked up to hold onto a guy?
Tania, Roderick, lohans8ball - STFU. That is all.

I couldn't even concentrate on reading tha article... I'm so intrigued by Lindsay's tan line, it starts off white then gradually darkens into an oompa loompa spray tan, she really needs to talk to her make-up artist. Unless her make-up artist is indeed an oompa loompa who can't reach the top of her head, although with all her bending over to snort coke it should be rather easy.
