Poor Lindsay Lohan! Her star is on the rise -- Herbie: Fully Loaded hits movie theaters June 22; she recently wrapped her first romantic comedy, Just My Luck; her debut album, Speak, went platinum; and she's Elle magazine's July cover girl -- but can she handle the pressure that comes with success? Of her recent, drastic weight loss, Lohan, 18, tells Elle: "It's not because I'm bulimic or anorexic or doing drugs. I worked a 21-hour day the other day. My body can only handle so much!" And the girl does eat! At the Elle shoot at NYC's Pier 59 Studios, she chowed down on chicken, salad and decadent tiramisu for dessert (one serving has about 900 calories). But her workload may not be the only reason Lohan is stressed out. On May 27, it was reported that her dad Michael was sentenced to up to four years in prison after pleading guilty to a slew of crimes, including driving while impaired and attempted assault. Lindsay herself just got into a traffic accident while driving her Mercedes-Benz in Beverly Hills. Before the May 31 incident, mom Dina thought Lohan was safer than most teens: "She gets more supervision than most kids!"
And her Herbie costar, Matt Dillon, 41, also thinks Lohan is handling fame just fine. "Being a famous girl, coming up in the movies, everybody's got you under a microscope," he says. "But you know what? Lindsay's got a fierce courage despite the fact that she's young. She's a gutsy girl." Amen! |
