02/22/2008: "Giving The Eye Candy A Break"

As blogs go, this isn't the most controversial one you'll come across. I rant a little on whatever crosses my mind, laugh a bit at the stupidity of mankind, and dig up a hottie to tide us over the weekend. No big deal. So any time my email box fills up with comments about something I've said, I know that somehow, somewhere, I hit a nerve.

Yesterday, one of our entries was about Lindsey Lohan and her decision to pose topless for New York Magazine. We weren't very supportive of the decision, calling it desperate and ill-advised, and reminded people of what happened to the original model of the photoshoot Lohan was trying to reproduce.

And it didn't go over very well.

Literally dozens of emails ... well, several at least ... chided me for riding LiLo so hard. Give the kid a break, they said - at least she's managed to stay relatively sane and out of rehab (for the time being) ... more than can be said of some of her contemporaries. And look - she made a brave choice to try and build her flagging career. At least she's trying, they said.

Fair enough. I respect fighters, and she's trying to put up a fight - last thing I want to do is pile on. So we'll do our part to try and help her out by naming her our Weekend Eye Candy. Sure, we don't get as many readers as NYM, but at least we'll let her keep her ... assets ... covered ...
