Everyone's a Ho-Han


Just a theory, In this day and age of outsourcing, contracting and phantom companies, one never knows exactly who is working for whom. One can supposedly trace the money trail to defense, corrections, power, or oil production industries, without knowing of their contributions to such. I think there is an equivalent in the entertainment business and it all ends with Lindsay Lohan.

Lohan, who once was employable, performed well at her particular function, and promoted a product like Mean Girls, that earned a quantifiable income to herself and her studio. Now, one can only speculate on what it is that she DOES, her primarily function. She does show up for certain "public events" with her "friend" but it bears little resemblance to the functions of an "actress".
I suppose if I looked this good and got paid for standing inert the way she does I would choose such a line of employment. Handling post-rehab temptations and keeping up with the probation officer is a completely different skill. I'm sure I'd handle that with more discretion.
