CONFESSIONS OF A DRAMA QUEEN

Lindsay Lohan thoroughly embraces her notoriety. From NYLON's May cover story...


"I get embarrassed about the paparazzi if I’m in a chic restaurant, or when I was in the AA meetings," she says. "I felt really disrespectful because those people are doing that for themselves and it’s no one else’s business. But that was the only time it was embarrassing—other times, I obviously like it." A pause, and a demure smile. "I wouldn’t ever want them to not take my picture," she says. "I’d be worried. I’d be like, ‘Do people not care about me?’”

Lindsay is just another person who happens to be criticised all the time I don't blame her for going off the rails sometimes because everyone is always saying something! She is a talented actress and I think she does have a drinking problem. I hope she gets it sorted out but i wish people would just leave her to do what she is gonna do!!!

Nylon, I used to love you; you'd feature wonderfully individual cover stars, my favourites being Jessica Miller, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Eldridge... and now? Lindsay Lohan? An over-exposed "actress" with no real credibility? The only thing you're good at lately is disappointing your loyal readers, and I'm sorry to say it.

she is a normal person with a dream and went with it. right timing, right face, right connections, right talent.. who knows. i dig it and will buy this issue.. however, i love all of nylons issues soooo... <3

for me personally i love lindsay lohan. i think that because she is seen in so many tabloids people forget that she really is a talented actress. i think people should give her more credit she is just young and enjoys having a good time who could blame her. and give nylon a little more credit they are a great magazine and im pretty sure they know what they are doing.

lindsay is definitely talented and once upon a time i thought, by now, that she's be totally fabulous and have an amazing career. that hasn't happened, and i fell sorry for her for the obvious lack of guidance that she's had from the "adults" around her. i still love her, but i hope she changes her tune!

I am very disappointed with this month's cover and story --Lindsay effin Lohan. i was just telling my friends that i didn't want her on the cover nor did i see her has a nylon girl and what do you know, she's on it. Grrr! nylon i thought you had more sense!

Nett

04/26/2007


hey !! Nylon i do not accept u on this month.I dont think it is the right way to put Lindsay on ur cover !! but i am still look forward ur next issue ;)

jules

04/26/2007


whatever. i think doubly l looks so good. like nylon can put anyone on its cover, and make them look amazing. NYLON, in my opinion, has been making good cover choices. everyone who appears ont he cover is the person of the moment, and i think lindsay has shaped up, so let her be. she looks damn good now. and nylon, im pretty stoked to buy the next issue. ps. the cover isnt the only part of mylon, so quit your yapping about how much you hate her. there is so much more nylon to love.

I wouldn't say this article painting her in a good light so why not just skip writing about her altogether. There are already enough magazines covering her..

Thea

04/26/2007


Although I love your magazine, i've been dissapointed with your oover girls of late..why would i want to read about someone who is on every mag cover every week! What about lovely talents such as Ginnifer Goodwin, Alexis Bledel or Isla Fisher?

I absolutely adore Lindsay. I think the tabloids publicity on her is ridiculous. Personally tabloids and people who create them are very low creatures in life, basically they just bring hell to the world and encourage hateful sayings. Lindsay is a great choice for Nylon and i do support her all the way. Despite Lindsay on the cover like others said, if you dont like her there's way more to Nylon than just its cover.

erin

04/27/2007


I think Nylon should put Evan Rachel Wood or Kristen Stewart or Kristen Bell or Alexis Bledel or Cameron Diaz any of those on the cover would be fucking hott.

CRISTY

04/27/2007


I absolutely love Lindsay Lohan. I know that she's all over the media 24/7, but she's extremely talented. I really like this article on her because she's honest and at times, blunt. And, it's nice to read about people when they're being real.

lynn

I am so disappointed in Nylon for showcasing Lindsay Lohan, a commercial star with no sincere credibility. I have been a great admirer of Nylon and would go as far as to say it is my favourite magazine. Please go back to un-earthing real genuinely interesting talent!

WTF are you people talking about?! I LOVE Lindsay, she is AWESOME! All you jealous people just need to leave her alone.

anita

04/28/2007


wow, another creepy, mouseketeer-esque, former child star hungering for fame! i guess i can overlook the vapid covergirl choices as of late (Christina? Ashley Olsen? Avril?) since the rest of the mag is still good. nevertheless, it does make me think twice about buying these issues

cha

04/28/2007


thats it i am tired of your cover stars. You have lost all your originality. You should put people worth while. Here are some examples: Anne Haathaway,katy rose,evan rchel wood, the donnas, kristin stewart, drew barrymore and sam roberts!

kristanyc

04/28/2007


srsly nylon waht is wrong with you!! i knew that after you put avirl on the cover your magazine was going to be a big mess of just another teen magazine. but i still keep on buying. haha

eva

04/28/2007


lindsay is an amazing actress and shes gorgeous. im definetly buying the magazine.

Becca

it was a risk and nylon went for it. so to that..cheers. and i like lyndsay i guess but i just think you guys can be a bit more creative than this. love you guys. <3

I can interpret the turn towards banal cover choices in two ways. You either want to sell more, and maybe it's working. That, or you see it as a challenge to cover someone more famous for her partying than her acting. It's no small feat to produce good articles about overexposed and boring people, I'll give you that, but please Nylon, you don't have to prove anything. Celebrity covers may sell more, but at the expense of your cred. Thank you.

senecca

04/29/2007


whoa. bad choice. icky.. it kind of makes me not want to check up on nylon EVERYDAY like i usually do, until you get a new girl up there at least. i will admit she's kind of nonchalant, and real, but its too ... ew for me to appreciate.

FOR GOD SAKE SHE'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN HOLLYWOOD AND IN THE WORLD I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE CAN BE SO MEAN TO HER. SHE'S AN EXCELENT SINGER AND AN EXCELENT ACTRESS. SHE CAN'T STOP BEING THE BEST EVERYBODY LOVES HER REALIZE THAT!! SHE WILL ALWAYS BE THE BEST. LINDSAY I'M WITH YOU FOREVER YOU'RE SIMPLY THE BEST! http://llohanrocks.blogspot.com

i think you've made the right choice and people will buy your mag because i mean is LINDSAY LOHAN c'mmon she's the best. besides you always make the rigth choice in the cover stars and this one was the best of all

Lindsay has Athazagoraphobia. That sucks.

go LINDSAY!

05/01/2007


HONESTLY people! Leave the girl alone. She's been through so much, so of course she'll have a bit of a drinking problem and because she's a not a normal average young adult who just goes to school with a part time job. It's not easy to be an actress and a singer. I give her MAJOR props!!

Natalie

05/01/2007


Haha, I use to hate her. She's a good actress and has a nice voice. But I guess she just chooses to pick the wrong movies to play and the wrong songs to sing. Otherwise I love her. She's just a party monster... and a stylish one at that.

eh

05/01/2007


i'd buy that for a dollar! she has sharp knees, obviously.

carmen_cupcake

05/01/2007


Obiously the she has been through alot. With fame she's gotta realise that it brings a downside to it. So she's gotta stop complaining about paparazzi following her. She needs to see the "real" world & look at the other people who are worse off..

ALLISON

05/01/2007


Nylon...I don't know where to begin. I am a new reader of nylon, and I was so excited about your magazine when I started reading it because I thought that you were unique, edgy, and just all-around cool. Why, why, WHY is LINDSAY LOHAN on your cover???? WHY??? She has absolutely NO credability, and I am so disappointed that my new favorite magazine has sunk to her level. SHE HAS NO TALENT! As an actress, it kills me to see people like her get so much attention when there are other lesser- known, much more fantastic actors out there who actually need exposure, unlike Lindsay, who has so much exposure that it is basically why she is famous. I sincerely hope that you will go back to more qualified cover girls, like Ms. Ricci on a past issue's cover, soon.

Kameron

05/01/2007


So does Paris have the next issue? For a mag that defends true talent, its interesting that you would put someone like lindsay on the cover. She is the hollywood your mag used to make fun of and frankly i would like that mag back.

ilovenylon

05/02/2007


im sure lindsay is a fun girl to party with and come on, drinking is a part of life. every teenager goes through it and has their fun and hopefully later in life they wont drink as much. you cant blame her for wanting to have a good time and having the money to do so. however, i do think that you guys have fallen down on this one. i love how almost all of the artists you choose have been complete individuals who have some special quality. lindsay is on every tabloid, magazine, whatever. i read nylon to hear something new, not to read a redundant article on how an overpopularized hollywood teen is an alcoholic.

thailand reader

05/02/2007


Wow!!! She's all that!!I will buy this issue for sure

brittany

05/02/2007


personally, i love lindsay lohan. no matter how crazy she gets. she looks amazing in her photoshoots. & i actually bought the magazine to read the whole story on lohan. i loved it.

Bianca

05/04/2007


I'm not gonna lie.. where I'm from it's pretty embarrassing to like her.. but shes hot and i think shes got talent so can you guys chill out on all this crap you guys put on here about her. you guys don't know her.. and shes doing more than you are.

fran

05/04/2007


it really sucks that you guys had to sink so low as to put this girl on your cover. i know that you guys are an amazingly creative, smart and cool magazine crew, what happened? i am very dissapointed.

Laura

05/05/2007


WHY?

vanessa

05/05/2007


i l0ve lindsay l0han.. and this article was awesome.. i love how it shows that shes a regular human being just like the rest of us that want to post as angels!! shes young and wants to party just like people our age do!! the only diff here is that shes famous and we arent!! thats why her life is out there more than ours.. but you know what w/e.. let her be.. "LINDSAY BABY.. CONTINUE PARTYING AND HAVING FUN, CAUSE I SURE AS HELL AM DOING IT TOO... JUST LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD" NICE ARTICLE!!! when is the next one on her again?

ovni

05/06/2007


i don't like her. she's so poser.

India

05/06/2007


Honestly, however much I love and adore this fabulous fabulous magazine, it's getting me down. I used to love reading about the people I had never (or hardly ever) heard of and now its just the tabloid girls. Though Lindsy may attrach people to buy the mag, wouldnt it be better to be original? Don't follow the crowd. no one needs another Elle when we can get a good NYLON. -India <3

heather

05/08/2007


PLEASE stop with the bad covers. put AUDREY TAUTOU on the next one!! she's lovely and has class... unlike lindsay.

Clare

05/08/2007


This is ridiculous! Where is ricci? Where is anyone interesting? I used to buy this magazine religiously but after the Avril issue and this? I don't know what's the point.

Annika

05/08/2007


if i wanted to read about lindsay lohan i would of picked up a copy of cosmopolitan or teen people. bleh. com'on nylon! get back to your roots. i still love you though.

Max

05/09/2007


OKAY now what has happend to my favorite magazine of all time! I mean COME ON! Lindsey space cadet Lohan! I 100% agree with Annika, if i wanted to read about her i would buy a copy of cosmo or teen people, or even the flippin news paper to read about her meaningless life! What the flip is she doing that is worthey of gracing the cover of Nylon...snorting Coke off a toilet seat! I have been traveling in India for about three months, and the only magazine i have is the march issue with Ricci on it! Honestly its one of the only physical things that keeps me from getting homesick! YAhh off to Japan, and i hope to god they have a Nylon in the airport! LATER! Hopefully next issue will have someone SUPER cool on it!

Lindsay said something like this in an interview 3 year ago about paparazzi love-hate relationship,she knows how to toy with them with only 17 - smartgirl She's a talented actress and incredible person,and to be claimed as an icon of this generation not B/C of some story from tabloids but her so multi-talented as an actress,singer,director etc..... I heard so much about people that work with her for the first time and so surprised by her calm manner and the way she talks and deals with much older people. Lindsay's real fanbase are movie fans not from crazy tabloid fan that criticized and dogg everyone on every gossip site,and their opinion doesn't matter in real world that most people still much love for LL ,not just some teenage but both kid and adult,they're love to watch Lindsay movie. I'm glad Nylon learn the truth and put her for the nice COVER -Love Lindsay and Nylon

Why would you put someone on the cover who said, "I wouldn’t ever want them to not take my picture, I’d be worried. I’d be like, ‘Do people not care about me?’”? You're just feeding the monster! That's disgusting! WOW us with your next mags. Please!

Stephanie

05/11/2007


I think Lindsay Lohan was a great choice. We all forget that she is acting like a normal 20-something - partying and hooking up with guys. Sure she overdoes it sometimes, but what 20 year old hasn't pushed the boundaries? The photos are awesome! Great work. She is absolutely beautiful.

kate

05/19/2007


why the hyper-focus on lohan.. just all-around dissapointment in her being featured i passed the mag along to a lohan-worshiper friend who ate it up. as i read the article i couldn't help but picture lohan eating sunless tanner and smoking cigarettes.. i think mostly the article helped me understand why lohan is at best a mediocre actress.

First of all, that was quite egoistic of her. && second, I believed Lindsay to be a good actress--until she came out with "Mean Girls" that is. Then she decided that she needed to be a double-threat && become a singer as well, as if she has that kind of talent! She's ruined her life, and along with Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, the three "friends" are all going to end up just like the beauty that was Anna Nicole Smith--dead.

I have to admit, it was incredibly disappointing to see La Lohan featured here. Nylon is usually good about selecting people who are truly interesting, talented and recognized for more than just their tabloid-worthy antics. What happened???!?!?!

This is my first ever nylon issue. I've seen the nylon magazine a million times on the stands. But this particular issue made me give my hard earned cashmoney to the man behind the counter of a magazinestore...in Amsterdam. I bought this particular issue because of the girl on the cover...Lindsay. What a magnet. She looks good on the cover. And I think she's a great girl in real life. And yes I do think she's an attention-seeker. But...don't we all like that chick? Well I have to agree with India about Nylon following the crowd. Yeah Nylon did follow the crowd / the hype. We all make mistakes. But sometimes you gotta make mistakes to go to the next level. And sometimes...a mistake is GOOD.

i think people should stop bashing this article just because lindsay lohan is a very well known celebrity, and it is somewhat out of NYLON's character to put her as their covergil. but i think its kind of ironic. people get sick of her, so NYLON took her and put her in a new perspective. ;)
