...that she was not only “born a fighter,” but that she was “born on a rainy day” to boot. Oh Lindsay, we feel your pain (and your rain). Please tell us more…possibly in album form? Lohan??s sophomore effort promise to be more introspective than her first in its very title: “A Little More Personal (RAW).” If this truly is Lindsay Lohan “raw,” she should have stuck to a more refined...

No, she’ll be the kind of celebrity who uses her fame to do noble things, like wear high heels and promote sponsors with the gratuitous product-placement that saturates “Herbie...
