Between the multiple jail and rehab stints, alcohol-monitoring devices and a dearth of high-profile onscreen roles, this year appears to have been especially trying for Lindsay Lohan.
On Friday, the actress was sent to jail for the second time in three months (she was released the same day) after she admitted to failing a court-ordered drug test. Lohan will reportedly don a SCRAM bracelet for the second time this year and is due to head back to court on October 22. Her legal drama has all but eclipsed her film career and many wonder if Lohan can still attract fans with her work as ably as she can hog headlines with her antics.
On Sunday (September 26), just days after her most recent jail stint, MTV News went to directly to the fans in New York's Times Square to ask how they think Lohan can revive her career.
"[She could make a comeback] if she actually would just learn from something and ... take something seriously, and not act like ... the world revolves around her and she has these special privileges that no one else has," Lauren Suitors said. She pointed out that many are able to overcome bad decisions after they've hit rock bottom. "Other people have gone to jail and they come out and they're just fine, but she just keeps making the same mistakes again."
"I really think that she probably needs to revamp herself and prove to everyone that she's capable of being a good actress and cleaning up her life, 'cause, as of now, she's kind of gone into a downward spiral," Jenny Phillips observed. Phillips said Lohan should head back to rehab and put in the work when it comes to a comeback because she is ultimately a talented star. "She's a legitimate actress when she's not all drugged up and stuff."
Sarah Leigh said Lohan's issues stem from her substance abuse problems, an observation the actress largely agrees with, and suggested a single step toward getting her act together: "Stop taking drugs!"
Evoking the "All publicity is good publicity" philosophy, Mel Dummett said that Lohan's high-profile high jinks will probably boost for enfeebled status as a box-office draw.
"I think this is actually going to revive her career 'cause she's been in the news," she said. "Any celebrity site you go to she's covering the whole thing."
Tramel Ulysses agrees that she should "keep doing what she do" and that, ultimately, everybody makes mistakes.
"I don't think she should be judged because everybody mess up, people do wrong things, people say they civilized but people also do bad things," Ulysses noted. "Everybody have their bad days."
Sebastian Moore said Lohan should look to a higher power to guide her through the drama.
"Just try to reach out to Oprah and let her solve everything," Moore said. "That's what I would do."
