Not that this is a shock or anything, but in light of recent events regarding Paris Hilton you would THINK these young stars would wake up.. But I guess not.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Lindsay Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday after her convertible struck a curb, and investigators found what they believe is cocaine at the scene, police said.
Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m., Sgt. Mike Foxen said. It appeared the actress was speeding, Lt. Mitch McCann said at an afternoon news conference.
Officers at the scene found a "usable amount" of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine, McCann said. He declined to say where the drug was found other than to say Lohan was not carrying it.
Lohan, who spent time at a rehabilitation center earlier this year, was driven in another car to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, McCann said. The two other people in her car were not hurt.
Officers received a 911 call about the accident and arrested Lohan at the hospital for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, McCann said.
She was released from custody because she was admitted to the hospital, police said.
McCann declined to comment on Lohan's blood-alcohol level. He said the case will be presented to the District Attorney's Office where the actress could face more charges, including felonies. Her tentative arraignment date is Aug. 24.
The crash was Lohan's third accident in about two years. In October 2005, Lohan and a passenger received minor injuries when her convertible hit a van in West Hollywood. Authorities said the van driver, who also received minor injuries, was at fault.
Months earlier, Lohan collided with a minivan when she made a U-turn as the van, carrying paparazzi, followed her from a Los Angeles restaurant. A photographer was arrested for investigation of assault with a deadly weapon but prosecutors declined to charge him.

After months of denying she was a drug addict or was a drinker she is caught red handed with that stuff in her car. Very sad.
Pfft... If they wanna do drugs, it's fine by me. It's not my life they're ruining.

But there are impressionable young girls that look up to her (no idea how or why), and constant celebrity worship and news coverage of it does do damage. I just know that my kids are going to have real celebrity heroes, and they won't be gracing newsstands like Lohan/Hilton/the rest of them.
not like they cant afford a taxi home right?
OH NOES SOMETHING HAPPENED TO A CELEBRITY! Again, who cares?
No, thats not the point, I dont think anyone here cares if she was send down for the rest of her life. It is a problem when there are countless girls that look up to her as a role-model and try to copy her and she does this.

Celebs crash and burn all the time, its best to burn out than quietly die.
