Lindsay Lohan could use the metro

Little Lindsay Lohan was popped for drunk driving in Santa Monica early this morning. The story, as TMZ tells it, is that her assistant quit, the assistant's mom came to pick her up (her mom? for reals?), and Lindsay jumped into her Denali SUV to give the two chase. Momma called the cops. Flash forward: Lindsay is arrested for drunk driving and she's got coke in her pocket.
Lesson learned: driving after your just-quit assistant and her disgruntled mother is not a good idea.
And this tragedy could have been prevented if only Lindsay had been riding the metro. It's ok to be stumbling drunk on the metro. It's ok to race into a subway station after your ex-assistant. It's even ok (if annoying) to get into a loud argument while riding the metro.
So Lindsay, give up the 13-miles-per-gallon SUV and start taking public transportation. It's for your own good.

If Lindsay starts riding the Metro, I'll know I've succeeded...maybe too much..

Carolyn -- EXACTLY what I was thinking when I saw the news this morning...why in hell doesn't she have a driver? Or take public transport?
So, so bizarre. And something so easily fixed with the metro!

I may be naive, but the biggest question I have is why does a 21 year-old multi-millionaire, world-famous, actress, who is supposedly doing what she loves for a living use drugs/alcohol excessively?
The world is her oyster, and she's doing drugs??
All of us working stiffs should have O.D. a long time ago, by these rules.....

MY question is why does she have to take yet another mug shot? couldn't they just pull out the old one or use her head shot? (I'm serious!!) stoopid wanker was just there last month!

That's why New York celebs never get nailed for anything but shootings and perjury: they take the subway or a cab.
And #5, uh, news flash: drugs and booze are fun no matter how famous you are.
