Let’s Dispense With The Sex First
Because there’s going to be a lot of it. Florida pastor counsels the devout to do it daily as a counter-divorce measure. Boston Herald.
Wacko preacher, who has also counseling channeling Shrek the Third to understand what happens “when we trust in God,” may be on to something. Not Shrek the Third. No opinion on that. But encouraging people to crank up the intimacy. Work at it. Giggle a little. Could be good. Idle … you know … are the Devil’s walking stick and glove. Martin Luther was reportedly a big fan of sex. Gift of God. He encouraged husbands and wives to do a lot of it. Marriage is a “hospital” for lust. But sex outside marriage, according to Luther, is wicked bad.
OK, next order of business. Now that we’ve got all that Godly, socially responsible sex out of the way, we’re jumping over to the other side of the sextrum. From the sex of religion to art of sex. Wistful, nostalgic sex. Sex and tragedy. Sex as a trainwreck. Lindsay Lohan attempts to react Marilyn Monroe’s last nude photo shoot. You be the judge.
Game effort, I’d say, points for irony. But Lindsay’s no Marilyn and sadly, the last Marilyn thing she’s most likely to successfully replicate is the last Marilyn thing. But the irony jet buzzes at bleachtop level right over Lindsay’s head. Boston Herald:
Linds, who battles addictions like the late screen queen, called Monroe’s overdose “tragic” and mentioned it reminded her of the death of “someone else.” Meaning, of course, hard-partying “Brokeback Mountain” star Heath Ledger, who recently died of an accidental overdose.
“They are both prime examples of what this industry can do to someone,” Lohan said.
The “Herbie: Fully Loaded” star, who has been in rehab three times, insists she will not end her life like Marilyn and Heath.
“I’m not them . . .I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me,” she sniffed.
OK. That was quick. Sex dispensed with.

Actually, Lindsay Trainwreck could easily imitate Monroe’s last act — od-ing on sleeping pills.

Far from “inhabiting” her idol, Lohan just looks flat out bored. Or stoned. Despite the fact that she’s naked, that’s about the least sexy pose I’ve ever seen.
