Poor L. Lo
I am not upset to say that I think Lindsay's singing career has come and gone, and not fast enough. While her first release "Rumors" was quite catchy and even became a theme song for me and my friend Brandon for our trip to DC Pride last year, it is done, she is done. I don't want to hear no more. Why am I talking about this? Well, I am glad that you asked because Miss Lohan's record label, Universal Music Group, is being sued for payola and has been fined $12 million. Sony has been fined $10 million and Warner Music Group was fined $5 million, all fined for shoving god awful music by Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson (WHY IS SHE STILL AROUND?!?!?), Jennifer Lopez, Lindsay Lohan, and many other "acts".
From Foxnews.com:
"Take Lindsay Lohan. The teen actress was turned into a singer by Tommy Mottola, who made an interesting deal at Universal to start a label just for her. Mottola also managed Lohan, which no one questioned, and he claimed that UMG had put up $50 million to get the ball rolling. But Lohan is no singer, and no one, not even her movie fans, wanted her albums or to hear her on the radio. Nevertheless, the record company persisted. A series of e-mails in June 2005 shows what was happening — a manipulation of MTV’s “Total Request Live” show that airs every afternoon and can seriously affect a new record’s fortunes. UMG, according to Spitzer’s reports, was spending money at radio stations and for “TRL” to “stuff the ballot box” (my words) and turn losers into winners. The memo series is all about one subject: “We are hiring a request company starting Monday to jack TRL for Lindsay…Guys this is a no win situation how should I respond...there is no airplay we have been pursuing…”"
Go with what you know, stick to your talents: Acting, underage boozing, and whoring it up with every new "It" guy that turns the corner, because we do appreciate you for that...really we do.
