Linday Lohan online shoppingAmong the best excuses out there, “my dog ate my homework,” “it was the one armed man,” or “O.J. did it” (OK, the last one may not be an excuse but we all know what that means), Lindsay Lohan may just take the cake this time around. Lindsay Lohan has plead to a Beverly Hills judge that she is not able to continue her treatment at the Betty Ford Center because she is unable to pay her $150,000 plus stay at the famed substance abuse clinic.
There may be some clues as to why the young Hollywood actress cannot afford her own rehab. Jail and numerous court appearances, accumulating legal fees, and not to mention the bad publicity has put her clothing label out of business and out of work. Don’t feel too bad for her just yet, did we mention this will be Lohan’s fifth attempt at rehab?

While in rehab, Lindsay Lohan may just have picked up a new addiction to online shopping which she refers to as “retail therapy.” Although, some the wiser may think otherwise, let’s be thankful and give the girl a little credit, at least she can’t drink, smoke, or snort it. Given only one day a week for Internet access at the clinic, Lohan has been caught spending $20,000 online for clothes. This has been a common occurrence during her rehab stints. Friends close to the actress say she doesn’t even wear most of the clothes she buys with a closet full of thousands of dollars in designer labels and handbags. Suggestion Lohan, perhaps use your online powers for good not evil, consider selling your clothes for profit or even charity. It’s not such a bad idea when considering a $150,000 rehab stay. Amazon and Ebay may just have a cash cow on their hands if shes does. PETA has also promised to pay $10k to Lohan’s tab if she promises to stop eating meat during her stay there and an additional $10k if she goes vegan for a year.
The money is there for Lohan if she can learn to curb those shopping habits. She claims she cannot pay for her treatment because she is broke. Well Miss Lohan, as the old adage goes, “crack is whack”.

About the Author
I think it was my parents that said, "One day, you are going to be a doctor and take care of mommy and daddy." Well, some 25 years later now, I am working toward a degree in marketing, playing the starving student bit, and have recently moved back home. Jokes on you mom and dad! I think life is not what we planned it to be when we were younger. Most of us are not spacemen, cowboys, or big Hollywood actors. For most of us we are just people, with beating hearts, trying to do right in the world, finding our love and passions, not living according to a guideline, and making life up as we go. For me, it's about the journey, making more than just a footprint in this world, I AM working toward greatness, just at a different pace, I have Type A ambitions with a Type B follow through, savoring every moment of life, and one day I will take care of Mom and Dad... living in my own place.
