Guitarist Dave Navarro thinks that the public and the press has been too tough on poor little Lindsay Lohan.
Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro has claimed that the media’s reaction to the recent behaviour of Lindsey Lohan has been over-the-top.
Mark Malkin at E!online quotes him as saying: “When I was 20 years old, the s**t you would have on me would have been mind-blowing.”
He added: “I just see girls growing up in Hollywood and I don’t mean to diminish it but the reality is that billions of kids go through the same stuff all over the country.
“But just because she happened to have a big movie or two, we’re blowing it up as this big shocker - but it’s not. It’s adolescence!”
Lohan was arrested for driving under the influence on July 24 and was checked into a rehab centre in Utah earlier this week.
Hmm. Well, first of all, Dave, there aren’t billions of kids in the country, but we’ll let that slide for the moment. I still don’t think that multiple arrests and rehab stints are exactly an adolescent rite of passage.
Wait - am I trying to reason with something said by the guy who was looking for his band’s lead singer on a reality show? Christ, I’d get more well-reasoned discourse from the guy downtown who wears a diaper while handing out bible tracts. At least that guy had the good sense not to marry Carmen Electra.
