Lindsey Lohan Tweets Amanda Bynes: Unfair?

Amanda Bynes' booking photo
Los Angeles - She'll have fun fun fun now that BIG DADDY has taken her car away? Not likely. As Nickelodeon star, Amanda Bynes, sits car-less in Los Angeles, Lindsey Lohan tweets her indignation over what she considers to be the kid-glove treatment of the star.

Be patient LiLo. Bynes downfall is still in its infancy by standards of your rap sheet. Lohan's well documented brushes with the law include DUIs, misdemeanor theft, and probation violations.

TMZ reports that Bynes faces up to a year in the pokey for two counts of hit and run earlier this year. 

Adding to the Nickelodeon star's woes are two counts of driving on a suspended license. So much for trouble coming in threes. The first time she got off with a warning. The repeat got her car impounded.  Bynes is due in court September 27.
 Is Lohan justified in griping about how slowly the wheels of justice turn for Bynes?

Milk, Cows, and Free in the 21st Century



Can’t Buy Me Love

Teased  hair, short skirts, leather jackets and some military-style lace-up boots, it may have been Reagan’s morning in America but my girlfriends and I reigned the Los Angeles night dance scene of 1980’s; or at least we thought we did.  As I gave my elderly aunt a peck goodbye on my way out to meet my friends, she peered over her reading glasses and said sweetly, “Have fun tonight but remember, a boy won’t buy the cow if he’s gets the milk for free.”  Her advice was a tactful metaphor cautioning that promiscuity does not beget marriage.  Her logic did make sense. But, I knew several women who had managed to find a willing buyer and not earned the wholesome white of the wedding dresses they wore down the aisle. It seemed that free milk was more complicated in human relationships. Certainly there must be some advantage to just giving a taste.
