Lindsay Lohan's has defended the letter she wrote following the death of director Robert Altman, insisting the message's unusual grammar and spelling doesn't matter because it was written "from the heart." After Altman died at the age of 81 on November 20, A Prairie Home Companion star Lohan wrote a tribute describing him as the "closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I've had in several years," signing the message "God Bless, peace and love always. Thank You, be adequite (sic)." Journalists have lashed out at the tribute's unconventional grammar and spelling, with media commentators labeling it "alarmingly incoherent" and claiming Altman himself might have found it "comedic." However, Lohan's publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik has defended the actress, claiming she wrote the letter on her Blackberry just moments after hearing about Altman's death. She explains, "She was devastated, she was crying... here was a girl who found something special in this man that she felt so close to, and she was completely socked and blown away that he had just died. It was written very quickly and from the heart."

Lindsay Lohan's has defended the letter she wrote following the death of director Robert Altman, insisting the message's unusual grammar and spelling doesn't matter because it was written "from the heart." See, this is why I don't like Nabokov's writings: it can't be from the heart cause grammatically it's so perfect. Straight from the brain, bypassing the heart, on to the page.
Now she's doing some AA meetings, maybe her brain will connect with her fingers again and she'll be able to write more coherently?

Awesome.
Defamation of character. Amongst other illegal accusations, I will repeat this over and over to make my point.
I am not fully aware of what these, again, accusations are, but I am fully and eagerly prepared to learn them.

Somewhat disappointingly, the incident didn't end with Lohan smashing a champagne glass to the floor and rushing out of the party with hands clasped to her ears, hoping to drown out the harsh cackles of powerful politicians, higher-paid, better-regarded actors, and Ben Affleck.
She's made of tougher stuff, and hung around long enough to make out with Johnny Knoxville, salvaging what she could from an otherwise disastrous evening.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Lindsay Lohan says she's been going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for a year, but hasn't talked about it because "it's no one's business.""I just left an AA meeting," the 20-year-old actress tells People magazine in a story posted Tuesday on its Web site.
"I haven't had a drink in seven days. Or anything," she says. "I'm not even legal to, so why would I? I don't drink when I go to clubs. I drink with my friends at home, but there's no need to. I feel better not drinking. It's more fun. I have Red Bull."
"I've been going to AA for a year by the way," Lohan adds. When asked why didn't she say so until recently, she replies: "Well it's no one's business. That's why it's anonymous!"
Her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, didn't immediately respond Tuesday to a message from The Associated Press seeking comment.
The New York Post first reported sightings of Lohan at an AA meeting two weeks ago, and Zelnik later confirmed to the AP that Lohan had been attending meetings.
"I was off from work, I was getting ready to start a film, and I was like going out just to get it out of my system," Lohan tells People. "I was going out too much and I knew that, and I have more to live for than that."
Lohan would like to make headlines for her movie roles, which include "Freaky Friday," "Herbie Fully Loaded," "A Prairie Home Companion" and "Bobby."
"I was like, 'I don't want to be written about at these clubs with these people,' " she says. "I work, I act, I have a living. That's what I do every day. I work every single day."
