Justin Timberlake, Cameron Diaz, and Lindsay Lohan - Tripping

Lindsay Lohan — never one to lead the simple life — broke her wrist last week while in New York for Fashion Week at a Milk Studios soiree.

According to her publicist, the seemingly comatose Leslie Sloane Zelnik, Lindsay "was walking in an outside area wearing flat Chanel boots" when she slipped and fractured her wrist in two separate places. Lohan was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital, where her mother, Dina Lohan, met her shortly afterwards.

LindsayNYCFashionWeek Sloane Zelnik also added that Lohan's lawyers would be investigating the incident to see if Milk Studios had taken appropriate measures to cover the "slick ground," as the incident may affect Lindsay's "ability to work" and "attend movie meetings" in Hollywood.

Strangely, Lindsay was able to attend several evening "meetings" where the agenda centered more around "partying" and "kung fu shadow boxing" than work.

TMZ, the most committed celebrity hunter in the celluloid jungle, captured footage of Lindsay Lohan doing some kind of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Firecrotch" action completely unaware she was being videotaped. (Hint: Lindsay, always assume you are being watched). Just watch the video for an epiphany on Lindsay's spiraling descent into madness.

It's sort of like watching a chorus girl get possessed by an Asian street thug. We could call it La-Cage-Ku-Fu. Whatever it is, Lindsay isn't letting a little thing like a double wrist-break and a cast keep her from letting her "inner" crazy out. If Lindsay wishes to pursue her "investigation" into why she's a clumsy knucklehead, she may want to cut down on the street aerobics.

All this craziness makes me wonder: is there a gas leak in Hollywood? Did someone poison the water supply? Because peeps be buggin' out.

In another example of "exaggerated for dramatic effect" news, Cameron Diaz filed a police report alleging that a photographer had "assaulted her with a deadly weapon" during a scuffle outside a friend's apartment this past week.

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting According to LAPD officer April Harding, Diaz's report states the following occurred:

"Diaz and Justin Timberlake were leaving a friend's home when a photographer hiding in the bushes tried to take a photograph of her. They both then chased the photographer for a short distance. The photographer then got into his car and drove toward both them, causing Diaz to jump out of the car's way. She felt the driver was trying to hit both of them, and so she filed the report. She's alleging assault with a deadly weapon, with a vehicle."

I feel some sympathy for them, too, but they have resources unlike anything any of us will ever touch. They also have the option of just staying home. Hell, that's what I do.

I'm sure it's the relentlessness of it all that gets so wearing and I can sympathize with that, but as Dawn said, it's not like they were clueless going in, nor that they aren't very well compensated for their troubles

They aren't clueless going in, but very few of us can prepare for the concept of "wealth beyond our wildest dreams" or "hordes of photogrophers and observers watching our every move." It seems such a surreal existence and in many cases it seems to happen "overnight." That said, there are many successful people with high degrees of visibility who manage to live "normal" lives.

I think the core of who a person truly is also comes into play. Paris strikes me as a vapid person who would live a useless life with or without the money- we'd just never know about it. Tom Hanks seems like he would be a good guy to watch a ballgame with even if he worked as a bank branch manager.

Fame and celebrity and wealth can certainly have an impact. It can wear on a person and it brings challenges and resources. A good, grounded person stands a better chance of overcoming that then the Paris Hiltons of the world.

I totally agree with your assessment of celebrity culture DJR. What we see at their best and worst moments culminate into the kind of people they are their core. Paris is vapid, Lindsay is young, Tom Hanks rules.

i think cameron is trying to sabatoge her own career by going with the black hair and that j-timberlake has a mommy/son thing going with the older, haggy looking diaz.

lindsay lohan and her mom can't disappear fast enough...how long before lindsay pulls a dana plato?

part of Cameron's appeal as an actress is that she can actually look quite odd as opposed to looking smoking hot all the time - I believe I am making a compliment

I have a little more faith in Lindsay. I truly think she has talent and smarts, the question is can she make it to maturity without causing herself permanent damage. She's basically acting her age, but with shitloads of money and fame. Not a good combination. Her mother should be ashamed for not being more involved in her life other than to take her money.
