In a move so shocking that I was shocked until I died from getting shocked to death, Lindsay Lohan has admitted in an interview with Vanity Fair that she dabbled with drugs and bulemia.
“I knew I had a problem and I couldn’t admit it,” Lohan, the star of movies such as “Mean Girls” and “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,” told Vanity Fair magazine.
“I was making myself sick. I was sick and I had people sit me down and say ‘You’re going to die if you don’t take care of yourself,”‘ she said in the magazine’s latest issue, which hit newsstands on Wednesday.
Lohan said she used drugs “a little” but quickly tried to retract the admission and denied that she had taken cocaine. “I don’t want people to think that I’ve done … you know what I mean? It’s kind of a sore subject,” she said.
Lohan’s publicist called Vanity Fair the day after the interview to try to get the confession omitted from the article, the New York Post reported.
In an apparent U-turn from interviews last year, the actress admitted fighting the eating disorder bulimia, which made her lose weight at an alarming rate.
It was when she saw footage of herself on a “Saturday Night Live” television appearance looking skeletal that Lohan became aware of how ill she really was.
“I saw that ‘SNL’ after I did it. My arms were disgusting. I had no arms,” she said.
Her physical condition led to a two-week hospitalization with a swollen liver and kidney infection last year.
Lohan was admitted to hospital on Monday after experiencing breathing difficulties in her hotel room in Miami, spokeswoman Leslie Sloane told Reuters.
It’s always infuriating when a celebrity admits to something the entire world has already known for years. Why won’t these lying bastards save us some trouble and admit to it straight off the bat. It would be like the sun coming out in a press release tomorrow and telling everybody it was big and hot and more than a two hour car drive away.

well at least she admitted it, and she’s gotten better. some celebs out there deny it forever (nicole richie) and at least she got help.. maybe someone should show nicole some pics of her skinny self.. maybe she’ll eat
*shrugs*

Say what you want, but that’s a sweet pair of tatas on this party girl.
amma | January 4, 2006 at 5:35 pm
…She’s more sad than funny. I saw Mean Girls with my little sis, and wow–the change over time has been amazing.
I give her credit for admitting her stuff…But ultimately, I totally blame her parents. When will people learn they can’t become gazillionaires off their kids without that kid ending up in a Nick Nolte like mugshot moment?
I think she’s really cute, and really dumb. At 19, who isn’t? I predict she will marry Kevin Federline by age 21.
Lolà M. | January 4, 2006 at 5:43 pm
Who isn’t dumb at 19?
Me! I’ve always been a smart girl! lol
sadietolstoy | January 4, 2006 at 5:44 pm
I like Lindsay Lohan, but as a cover girl for “Vanity Fair”, which is supposed to be a fairly intelligent magazine? All I can say she’s an improvement over Paris Hilton, who was featured on the cover a few months ago. Vanity Fair must be trying to appeal to the teeny-bop set.
MortyFishbein | January 4, 2006 at 5:56 pm
Yeah, they’ll put anybody on the cover of anything these days.
But I actually wanna say I’m not necessarily glad she admitted it. I’m just glad she’s getting better no matter what.
Since this IS The Superficial . . . as soon as she gets back them boobs and that red hair, we’ll have ourselves a nicely-chested, young version of Julianne Moore minus 60 IQ points!
hafaball | January 4, 2006 at 6:01 pm
anyone else notice she’s going threw the whole career phases in months? It used to be, you start slow, get famous, start drinking, take drugs, then at 40 admit you had a problem. Like Sean Penn, or Robert Downey Jr. Even though I think Downey’s still on the blow, so bad example. But all these “famous” girls nowadays are so boring because they all know exactly what they;re doing, then retire or are has-beens at the age of…let’s say 25. I mean Ritchie all ready made her god damn autobiography, and she;s…20? 21?
claire bear | January 4, 2006 at 6:13 pm
Wasn’t she supposed to be nude on the cover?
Jewbacca | January 4, 2006 at 6:15 pm
NOTHIGN WRONG WITH A LITTLE BLOW ON THE WEEKENDS. I’D LIKE TO PARTY WITH LINDSAY, I BET SHE GIVES GOOD HEAD.
BOOTSY COLLINS | January 4, 2006 at 6:17 pm
shes still a skank….
Captain Awesome | January 4, 2006 at 6:20 pm
I like my women to be physically weak, it also makes it harder for them to run from me.
It’s how I roll.
andrewthezeppo | January 4, 2006 at 6:24 pm
Good for Lindsay,
That takes a lot of courage to be so public. And for you jerks who want to criticize her for waiting so long, a big aspect of having an eating disorder is being in denial of it and now she’s moved on. If we can forgive our retarded president years of doing blow, surely we can forgive Lindsay one bad year.
VanillaSalTyBaLLs | January 4, 2006 at 6:48 pm
I so wanna hit that…… she’d look like a glazed donut when I was done…….mmmmmmmm donuts!!!!
CrAcKtOn | January 4, 2006 at 6:53 pm
I agree with andrewthezeppo, not many people have the balls to admit they have a problem, even if it did take her about a year to do so.
Anyways, at least she’s en-route to growing back those sorely missed breasts of hers.
esther sativa | January 4, 2006 at 7:26 pm
good on her for admitting but hello? shes going to do drugs again shes still a teen its not like this confession is coming from a 40 year old cocaine abuser out of rehab. she will probablly puke up again to. big deal. hip hooray lets write a book about it. its just another teen celebrity with far too much attention on her. but nice photo…her eye brows have always annoy me…
bluecanary | January 4, 2006 at 7:43 pm
She’s the next Tara Reid.
and her channeling of Madonna circa “Who’s That Girl” is ill-advised. blonde hair + dark eyebrows = unattractive.
Synthwhore | January 4, 2006 at 8:13 pm
It’s spelled bulimia, not bulemia. And get over it, plenty of people admit they have an eating disorder, she’s a celebrity (because of her amazing talent, of course), you wanna give her a fuckin’ cookie ’cause she’s SOOO strong? She’s getting press from this, idiots.
derekd | January 4, 2006 at 8:30 pm
Am I the only one who doesn’t think she’s all that hot? I mean I’d lick her pee hole but that isn’t saying much. 5 outta 10.
derekd | January 4, 2006 at 8:33 pm
Big deal she admittted she had a problem! Its not Pulitzer Prize worthy! All you fags praising her get a fuckin life!
Captain Awesome | January 4, 2006 at 8:48 pm
I enjoy the fluffy pat-on-the-backs people give celebrities when they reveal or ‘come out’ about an issue many regular people have done for years.
“You’re so Brave”, “You’re a true hero” please. Because she’s done a few shitty movies and made a pop album, its a “big” deal.
“Hey, Melissa at work just overcame her eating disorder and Crazy Carl did these wicked back flips even thought he has no legs. You totally missed out on a good lunch dude.”
“Whatever queer!”
I love K-fed's Corn Rolls | January 4, 2006 at 9:26 pm
It’s sad her head was in the toilet for to long she didn’t notice some moron ruined her looks by dying her hair that HIDEOUS colour…
You know, she’s a moron… I totally agree with HAFABALL, it’s her damn fault when the world turns their back on her because she had a 40 year old career in the press two years from now… I’m so sick already about hearing about this Hilary Duff wannabe (ouch…) She needs to fade away…
I love K-fed's Corn Rolls | January 4, 2006 at 9:27 pm
I hope she marries K-Fed, he needs a strong First Lady for the Presidential Canidacy Straight 2008
HollyJ | January 4, 2006 at 9:30 pm
They must’ve used a gallon bucket of body base make-up to cover up her bazillions of ugly red freckles for this picture.
Either that or some airbrush artist is now suffering carpal-tunnel syndrome about now.
And YEAH! to bluecanary – That dark eyebrow and blonde shit has GOT to GO. ACK She looks best in a soft, warm reddish brown.
kemb2722 | January 4, 2006 at 9:40 pm
its pretty freakin hilarious how everyone is so personal about this 19 year girl that none of us know. oh well. it’s admirable to admit these things..i agree.
The thing i find really interesting is now we KNOW for sure that paris and nicole and all those girls are without a doubt crackheads too….as they were all together so much in the night club scene. i love it. crackwhores.
bleep08 | January 4, 2006 at 9:49 pm
Wow, you guys couldn’t be any more ignorant about eating disorders. I’d say I have at least 8-10 friends who have had them. It’s something that’s NEVER talked about…except behind that person’s back. I mean think about how many celebrities have gone anorexic/bulimic in the past decade or so…all you hear is denial, denial, excuse, excuse, then they gain back some weight and never mention the subject again. Calista Flockheart, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lara Flynn Boyle, etc…no one wants to come forward because no one wants to be the celebrity poster child for a mental disorder.
bleep08 | January 4, 2006 at 9:49 pm
PS Forgot to say something superficial. Man those boobs look FAKE
Jeremy1Esq | January 4, 2006 at 9:59 pm
Lindsay is just another young piece of ass that men fantasize about because she is visible because she just happened to be in the right place at the right time allowing her to be in the national media. She is basically worthless as a human being beyond the fantasy which isnt all that great anyway. Yeah we would all “hit it”, but wouldnt we want to hit most girls that age if we could. I see girls her age all the time walking on colleges campuses, working for dirty old men, and just being out and about that are better looking then Lindsay who will never get any media attention at all. This twit shouldnt be newsworthy. In 15-20 years she will look like Shaun Bagwell and will be selling her underwear on Ebay while she wonders what happened to her life.
niki | January 4, 2006 at 10:00 pm
geesh, little mary kate olsen had this same “eating disorder”. my friend was in the same rehab as mary kate in utah. my friend said she was in there for cocaine… in fact, they don’t even treat eating disorders at that facility. it’s so funny to hear people continue to call it an eating disorder.
i’m actually kinda proud of lindsay lohan for admitting she’s dabbled in drugs. nicole richie and mary kate are probably too worried about their “young audience” to have courage to speak the truth.
Synthwhore | January 4, 2006 at 10:06 pm
Actually, bleep08, you’re ignorant if you really think people with eating disorders don’t talk about it. *I* fucking had an eating disorder, and my friends knew, and it was talked about. I’ve known countless other chicks that have or have had EDs, if no one talked about it, how the would I know that. ANYway, I’m embarassed I even comment on this site. SO GAY.
Synthwhore | January 4, 2006 at 10:07 pm
Oops, that was supposed to say how the FUCK would I know that.

its pretty sad when u watch kids grow up and then see them turn into WRECKS as young adults. funny, but sad.
batteryacidqueen | January 4, 2006 at 11:48 pm
My former roomate has an eatting disorder. Its not talked about by her, the only reason we knew off the bat about it was because her mom made us aware of her situation (and that she is both anorexic and bulimic)so we could keep an eye on her.
Its such a hard thing to over come. Partially because its mostly a control issue. Partially in Lind’s case its stupid people that make comments about her body and all of the scrutiny its under.
So even though I’ve never seen her movies I hope L.Lo takes care of herself and gets better. My former roomate still has not accepted what she has, so she won’t treat it. Won’t listen to her doctors.. won’t help herself….
~S.Starr~ | January 5, 2006 at 1:39 am
I used to live in west hollywood and let me tell you…coke, out here, is as common as brushing your teeth. A good percentage of people, that I know of, do cocaine out here. I have only met a handful of people (entertainment industry & regular people) that don’t, or haven’t at one point, done coke. I am straight edge so being out there I always felt like the weird one. You would be surprised what you see celebrities do out here.
blackblackheart | January 5, 2006 at 3:41 am
I actually feel sorry for Lindsay. Take the fact that she comes from an abusive household into hand, did you know that about 9/10 sex workers and drug addicts come from abusive families? I know a kid who is in a family filled with drug addicts. His father is behind bars and I have no idea what his mother is up to. I actually feel sorry for the kid, even though he is a rank one ass hole to me every time I talk to him. ‘Point being, Lindsay Lohan may be a total idiot sometimes, and you might call her a media-whore and whatnot, but she’s still human, you’re human, have some sympathy. So what if we all “knew” she had done this before she confessed, she’s very strong for confessing this, being that half of the world’s population hates her already and most of the other half doesn’t know who she is.
blackblackheart | January 5, 2006 at 3:56 am
Hmm.. Just read a few of the other comments here… “Synthwhore”…. What is your definition of “gay”? I’m gay thanks, and I can tell you right now that I’m not the same as what you called gay. I’m not a website you don’t like. I may be a person you don’t like for what I’m about to say, but I’m not a website.
You’re a fucking idiot. I may not be completely politically correct but at least I’m trying. It’s called *people skills*, okay? Try not to make people hate you after you intentionally use one word the wrong way. That’s called being a bigot, and frankly, I hate bigots.
aims_25 | January 5, 2006 at 4:16 am
I’m glad she’s admitting it and getting better. I neither love nor hate Lindsay so I’m just happy to see her beginning to resemble a human being not a skeleton. There are only a few people I’d like to see completely fade away…Paris Hilton for one.

Which illegal drug goes best with Pop-Tarts? I want to email Lindsay a book of recipes that have drugs as side dishes so she can overcome her eating disorder as well continue her drug use. It would be too difficult to kick both of those habits at once. Please send in some recipes.
K-FED FOR PRESIDENT STRAIGHT 2008
tess | January 5, 2006 at 11:47 am
Her ex-boyfriend, Wilmer, is really an a-hole. How could he let her down when she needed him the most? He dumped her like a dirty old sock but she’s obviously still in love with him. She’s been whining about him in the last 12 months, in most of her interviews. Her bulimia was a cry 4 help because she felt lonely and rejected. This girl was so gorgeous back in the days. It’s really sad to see her struggling and suffering like this.
~S.Starr~ | January 5, 2006 at 12:11 pm
Wow Tess… Personal friend of hers or just one of those people who assume to know everything?
Synthwhore | January 5, 2006 at 2:45 pm
Awww, blackblackheart is a PC fag. Sweetie, I live in West Hollywood, my roommate is gay, I date a guy who works in a gay bar (he’s supposedly not gay), lots of my friends are gay, hell I’m a fag hag. Get a sense of humor and recognize slang when ya see it. The whole self-righteous thing is SO unbecoming.
~S.Starr~ | January 5, 2006 at 3:35 pm
Synthwhore: I live in West Hollywood too! Somethings ya just can’t understand unless you live here…ya know. It is a whole different game here in Hollywood, esp west hollywood. Someone in lets say…south dakota (or anywhere that is hollywood…haha) just wouldnt understand.
~S.Starr~ | January 5, 2006 at 3:37 pm
Correction: (or anywhere that isn’t hollywood…haha)
Puffy | January 5, 2006 at 4:00 pm
Yeah, people in Hollywood are SO too look up for right? WRONG. (this also goes for lots of people in this country, and some of NYC as well).
They’re egotistic, extremely self-absorbed, non-real world, fantasizing, assholes. (most of the wanabees anyways)
THe jerks that are somebodies, are just on power trips. It’s all about them.
Put any “normal” person in hollywood for a few years, and it will negatively impact them somehow. Whether they act like someone else, feel the urge to be prettier, cooler, richer, or skinnier. It’s all about being better than who you are. It’s not a place that will accept you for you. It’s bullshit. You have to have a certain personality to live in Hollywood, and thats not a good thing. You basically turn into a shallow, prick, and you lose all sense of things that really matter for image, and bullshit. High School living ur whole life.
NORMAL people are supposed to get past this, but in Hollyweird, you get praised for it.
The only place on the planet that praises superficiality and dysfunction.
Sad. I hope it gets nuked. The whole damn place.
Everyone knows that hollywood is just a bunch of fake , calculating bullshit anyways.
HughJorganthethird | January 5, 2006 at 4:04 pm
This is what passes for a drug abuser in hollywood these days? That’s pretty fucking pathetic. As a drug user I take offense to any of these fake platic starlets honing in on my gig. This stupid little girl wouldn’t last 30 seconds in my world.
Synthwhore | January 5, 2006 at 4:15 pm
Actually the only reason I mentioned I live in West Hollywood was because it’s a notorious for it’s primarily gay population. Uh, not because I think people in Hollywood are cool. Most of them aren’t. But that’s okay, freak out about it. ANYway, the instructions are to keep things relevant, so, like I said yesterday, um, Lindsay Lohan is a no-talent pointless attention whore celebrity! Excellent!
sammygirl | January 5, 2006 at 4:32 pm
Ah, come on people, don’t shit on L.A. just because the celebrity freaks live here. I’ve lived here my entire life (right by UCLA to be exact) and I’m pretty normal, i.e., no cocaine, no eating disorder, no body dysmorphic disorder.
And saying “that’s so gay” is similar to saying “that’s so lame” or “that’s so retarded”. It’s one of those phrases that’s become politically incorrect, but for those of us who grew up with the phrase, it’s hard to suppress. It’s not intended to offend homosexuals. I love the homos, they are so fun to hang with.
