Gotta give her props because Lindsay Lohan is certainly making a potent declaration with this not-so fashionable quasi-ensemble… but I think the call for attention is just that.  And clearly her ’Don’t Follow Me’ efforts weren’t working out.  Seriously, she’s wearing that hideous jacket because she wants you to follow her… why else bother if not to draw a myriad of cameras and onlookers from every angle of the periphery.

All the while, we’ve got headliners showcasing popstar Britney Spears’s smoking sessions while her kid holds the cigarette lighter, sensationalizing so-called starvation antics onto super svelte Nicole Richie coupled with Christian Bale’s reported family abuse, and obviously, The Hills are alive with more than the sound of underage drinking. Plus, we’ve got Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt packing ammunition with gun photo shoots while planning a trip to Iraq in some bizzarro musical charade? What? Not that I don’t like reality TV or celeb gossip… it’s totally cool, but it seems no matter how hard they try, it’s just one melodramatic disaster after another.   Example.

With networks in an uproar, it’s fairly obvious what her secret weapon is.  Oops, I mean what her Secret Obsession is, but poor Eva Mendes has gotten herself banned from televisions everywhere for Calvin Klein’s ultra sexy commercial advertising their ultra sexy fragrance… what is the world coming to?  Sex sells.  It’s not rocket science–it’s a celebrity fact of life, but with all this media hoopla, I think society has enough to deal with that we just don’t need another reason to keep our eyes wide shut.  

Nothing we haven’t seen a million times over, right?  I mean are people really that shocked?  Not likely.
