Troubled starlet
Lindsay Lohan
has a message for all the doubters and cynics out there: Back off and leave her alone.
The headline-friendly star (aka the walking tabloid), 22, is sick and tired of all the media speculation about her joblessness, dwindling finances, sobriety and above all, her relationship with *
.
*Cheer up love, it might never happen
.
"They need to stop saying we're fighting," the indignant starlet tells E! News of the media's continued fascination with her often documented tempestuous relationship with 31-year-old DJ Ronson.
"People telling lies about me to her and all this garbage. I'm really a good person and I have a good heart and just want to work.
"The only reason I go to clubs is to hear Samantha spin or be normal," she adds.
Li-Lo also warns us against believing everything we see written about her.
"
I don't drink, I don't do drugs and I don't lie
," she said. "I love to act and write and be creative, and I want to help people by playing characters that can send a positive message out to whomever may need it."
Sicko fans...
She also blames her lack of employment opportunities on "sicko fans".
"If people would just leave my personal life alone - because it's really not that interesting - then I could land a great role, but
all the sicko fans and the noise is so distracting
," she moans.
And while she admits to having a rather chequered past, Li-Lo is adamant that she's turned over a new leaf and is on the path to redemption.
"My past is my past and it's been a long one, but I'm growing more and learning more day by day. I'm not the same person and I don't make the same mistakes," she says. "I move forward and I change. Life's too short not to."
Lohan continues: "I just want to live the dream that I've worked so hard for since I was 4 years old...I'd like to have my own charity, do work overseas, be in Oscar-nominated films, write movies, produce movies/shows/videos, design clothes, make music, write books, etc."
There's no fate but what we make, babe.
"It's all possible - if people would just stop judging me and accusing me and making me out to be this aloof, spoiled, ungrateful and unprofessional person that I am not and could never be," she adds
Whinge, whinge, whinge. Lohan: It's all too easy and convenient to blame everyone else for your situation. The trick is to believe in yourself first, the rest will follow. Stop listening to the "noise" and trot on.
Madonna's adoption plans foiled?
Pop maestro
Madonna
's love life could scupper her chances of adopting a second Malawian child, reports say.
Madge, who has been romantically linked to Yankees slugger
Alex Rodriguez
- while both were still married - and is/was reportedly in the throws of a fling with Brazilian hunk
Jesus Luz
, could face an uphill struggle to adopt 3-year-old Mercy James.
Gossips over at the
New york Daily News
claim that Malawi adoption officials aren't impressed with the romance rumours surrounding the star.
A senior official from Malawi's Ministry of Women and Child Welfare Development allegedly told the newspaper, "Our official policy is that we do not encourage our children to be sent into broken homes." Obviously referring to Madge and Guy's recent divorce.
Then there's the small matter of her rumoured A-Rod hook-up, and relationship with Jesus. The senate does not approve.
"
[Madonna's] relationships may negatively affect the adoption of Mercy
," the official adds.
"The news she is linked to another woman's husband and a young man less than half her age makes us question her morals." Charming.
Officials are also believed to be unhappy about Madge's saucy W magazine spread with Luz, says the paper. We can't imagine why - it was all in the best possible taste.
Madge's 'erotic' W magazine spread
(Call us conservative, but probably slightly NSFW)
And to conclude, the paper quotes a child welfare chief who obligingly says morality plays a big part in the adoption process.
"We do not only look at the material issues, but also the moral standing of prospective adoptive parents, because we do not want our children's morals to be corrupted."
Roll call. Time to rally the troops and drum up some positive PR, Madge. TTF anyone?
