I mean, the very idea of letting potential ratings bonanza Lindsay Lohan leave sooner than her arc was done is insane. Especially since her Betty-hating pushy entourage ways and yellow-stained nicotine habits were the culprits. What the ef did you think was gonna happen with that gonzo girlfriend on the premises? Meryl Streep (whom Lindsay told me she not only idolizes but wants to sleep with, no joke), she's not.
Here's what you do: Surreptitiously snap pics of the badass broad being, well, herself, leak them, along with the appropriate bitchy copy, to the likes of me and my colleagues, and, doll, that is friggin' appointment catfight viewing.
Every scratching type in America knows that one, duh. You just can't write crap that good. Besides, would have kept L2 working. I shudder to think what descent is next for her—this is a lose-lose all the way around. Some tough-ass producer really should have seen the nastiness right on through to its messy culmination.
