(who I LOVE) is given an enormous amount of support/plaudits/leeway when someone like Lindsay Lohan (ok not Helen Mirren but is a pretty decent actor unlike Paris Hilton, Kerry Katona and others of that ilk) is derided and demonised? Is it because she is female or am I missing something? Is it because she is percieved as courting celebrity? I don't know, but some of her films are well acted and I can't think of many female celebrities for whom silly behaviour is forgiven easily.
