This being a pop-culture site, we are bound by international conventions - the Tabloid Protocols of 1967, to be exact, although we are still negotiating over the 1977 amendments - to mention Lindsay Lohan, or any member of the Lohan genus, when Lindsay Lohan does something wrong. This time: she has blamed Bravo network for setting her up. She was supposed to have a photo shoot promoting her brand of leggings - they have extra starch so they'll keep you standing even after a night on the town - and did not show up. Unfortunately, Bravo was shooting a TV show about the event, so it turned into a Big Deal. TMZ reports:
She has tweeted her side of the story: they set her up. They gave her the wrong time. Yes, indeed; there are no doubt special teams inside most of the tabloids and TV shows devoted to concocting vast, intricate, Mission-Impossible-style scenarios that trick her into oversleeping, and when she finally arrives the person she thought was her mother leaves the room, rips off her mask to reveal the face of Peter Graves, and they all get in the car while the theme music plays.
Bravo says uh, no:
The only way you can oversleep for eleven hours is to be in a medically-induced coma, and even then they check for vitals every so often. Anyway, I'll save you the bother of commenting, since it always boils down to the same: Who cares? Granted. Remember when Bravo was a fine arts channel? I do. Opera and ballet and symphony concerts. . I'd hate to turn on the TV in 20 years to find the Golf Channel was now devoted entirely to old movies, and AMC was NASCAR 24-7. Robert Osbourne is a talented guy, but I can't see him calling car races.
