AA: Alcoholic Announcements
12/03/06 Filed in: Balderdash
So Lindsay Lohan is attending AA
meetings. Good for her.
But.
She needs to fire her publicist, who doesn't seem to understand the meaning of that second A.
The publicist could've confirm that Lohan is "seeking treatment" or has "enrolled in Alcohol counseling". Those phrases would've tipped us off that young Missy has acknowledged that there may be a problem, without bringing packs of papparazzi to camp outside of every AA meeting in the Greater Los Angeles area. Those photographers, in their quest to get that golden shot of Lindsay, with or without panties, will snap pictures of some people entering or leaving the meetings who truly wish to be 'A', and that's a shame; those people may not return to get the help they need because they feel that their anonymity, the very foundation of AA, has been compromised.
It would be a different story if Lohan herself issued a statement after attending what is known as a 30/30 or a 60/60 and had a chance to work the program and see results.
