What if Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan Got Married?

That's the idea one of my favorite artists, Chuck Frazier had in mind when he drew this disconcerting portrait of marital bliss.  He figured since both troubled actors have been featured non-stop in both the tabloids as well as mainstream "real" news (which has pretty much devolved into frivolous, brain-rotting entertainment these days) Lindsay and Charlie would become the ultimate hot mess trainwreck celebrity couple and would give the likes of Anderson Cooper and Dr. Phil hours of mindless fodder to natter on and on about. What's even more remarkable about this piece is that Chuck came up with the idea before the announcement of Charlie and Lindsay's cameo appearance in the upcoming Scary Movie 5. Spooky action at a distance? Scary! Anyway, Chuck knows I like to color things in, so he allowed me to add color to his impeccable line drawing (BELOW). Thanks Chuck!

Lindsay Lohan's "Golden Charms of Crime" Necklace

To commemorate Lindsay Lohan's latest criminal charge, Tabloid Treasures Jewelers, in association with Kamofie & Company, a publicity-hungry Venice jewelry store, is proud to present this lovely Golden Charms of Crime collectible necklace. Crafted from gold-toned metal and coated with tarnished sheen, each charm represents some of Lindsay's most notable crimes, even the ones she denies. Don't worry, there's plenty of room on the necklace to attach additional charms in the likelihood she continues her daring crime sprees in the future. Sparkling factory-created genuine diamonds add dazzling allure...and at the price of only $19.95, this necklace is a steal. Medium: graphite on paper, digital paint.

Lindsay Lohan is a MILKAHOLIC!

First I would like to thank Lindsay Lohan for bringing sublime absurdity roaring back into the tabloid gossip scene. If you've not heard, she's suing E*trade because she's convinced a "milkaholic" baby named Lindsay used in a super bowl commercial is referring to her. She feels she's known 'round the world by her first name much the same way Madonna or Oprah are known and because she's more famous as a boozing party girl than her acting career, she's concluded E*trade must pay up for using her highly valuable image. Had Linds kept quiet about about it, no one would have noticed, but it's high time she be given a new nickname. Fire crotch has lost it's freshness, Milkaholic is MUCH better.

Celebrity Family Photo Christmas Cards: The Lohans

What do you know, I received another celebrity greeting card today and this time it's from the Lohans. Dina likes to party with her kids, so she arranged for a 2:00 am photo shoot inside Ali's favorite LA nightclub last Wednesday. Don't they look cute? Apparently, the kids' ex-jailbird father showed up and refused to leave. There was a mild squirmish when Dina screamed at him to get out of the photos, "You aren't even dressed properly! And for the love of God, why are you wearing mom jeans!?!?" Michael shot back, "Don't you dare use the Lord's name in vain, heathen woman! Hey wait, is that US Weekly? Hey, over here, over here - I'd like to talk to the press about Lindsay!" Michael wandered off to track down more paparazzi, but unfortunately for the rest of the Lohan family, he still ended up in their Christmas photo. And yes, Dina enclosed a Dina family update in the letter and you may read it here. Adequite Christmas everyone! If you're looking for a classy holiday card from Britney Spears, you'll find it here. If you'd like to see the greatest Christmas movie ever, watch this clip from Santa Claus, a 1959 Mexican motion picture extravaganza. Santa lives in a castle floating in outer space and devils are out to get him.

Lohan Boa Constrictor Swallows Sambora Mouse Whole

Once upon a time, there lived a lonely boa constrictor out in the middle of a Utah rehabilitation facility. This lusty little snake was starved for fresh meat and seething with insatiable desire. One day, a dazed, middle-aged mouse was brought to the rehab facilty. The hungry freckled snake spotted the paunchy old mouse and began to salivate with ardent desire. "Fresh meat, fresh meat, now I shall eat!" exclaimed the nubile reptile, and then she carefully slithered toward the hapless lumpy mouse, wrapped her lusty young body around him, and slowly began to devour the endomorphic rodent. The mouse seemed to enjoy himself even though he knew he was in mortal danger. The end. This dark fairy tale was inspired by Michael K's update about Richie Sambora entering the same rehab facility as the one Lindsay Lohan is currently staying. MK wrote, "I can see her now, slithering into his room like a freckled boa constrictor. She'll take a hold of his mouse and won't let go until she's swallowed it whole. He doesn't have a chance in hell." How could I not illustrate that? Medium: Gouache on vellum. Much thanks to Moonmaid and Filmwatcher2002.

Valentine: Lindsay's Adventures in Wonderland

Oh the agony of the heart that craves the love it cannot have. Troubled party girl Lindsay Lohan has finally checked into rehab in order to recover from her insatiable desire for vodka. The name of the rehab facility is Wonderland. Does the treatment involve the attending of Mad Tea Parties and the chasing of white rabbits? Maybe for Lindsay, but not for anyone else in residence. Sources claim she's given special treatment because of her celebrity status and has turned Wonderland into "a joke". Whatever the case may be, we hope Lindsay receives the publicity treatment she needs for her speedy recovery. Medium: Ink on paper with apologies to Sir John Tenniel. Much thanks to Holly for the brainstorm.

Britney, Lindsay and Paris: The Three Disgraces

La Primavera is one of Sandro Botticelli's best known paintings. The angelic figures shown in this ethereal work of art all represent mythological characters. While viewing this painting at the Uffizi, my eyes were drawn to the fluid movement and delicate beauty of the Three Graces. According to Greek mythology, the Three Graces represent beauty, charm and joy. Contemporary mythological characters such as Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton are the antithesis of grace. This makes them the Three Disgraces. They represent sleaze, trash, and desperate cry for attention. What makes these women think we want to see high resolution photos of their bald, flabby, and in Britney's case, Kevin Federline-infected genitalia? If they want to show off their crotch, why don't they just go ahead and pose for Playboy? Their girlie bits would be thankfully photo retouched to oblivion and our precious eyeballs would be spared the harsh detail of pimples, stubble, cesarean scar and general ickiness sullying their private parts.

The Man-Eating Party Panda

The Lohan Party Panda can be found roaming the hottest clubs across New York, Las Vegas and Hollywood. Quite often, it can also be spotted in various hospital emergency rooms. This lusty little red panda has an enormous appetite for the male species and is a highly skilled predator. The Party Panda's natural enemy is the Paris Hilton Ass Ostrich and one may observe their warring behavior documented inside the pages of The Glossy Field Guide to Hollywood Animals.

Gossip Trading Cards: Wanton Starlet

Lindsay Lohan's swinging love life could easily be mistaken for one of those trashy pulp fiction novels from the 50's and 60's. With her come-hither, yet dazed eyes, she's the perfect model of man eating temptress typically shown on the covers of lurid vintage paperbacks. Consider these actual titles...Born For Sin, Man Bait, or Lust is a Woman and imagine how natural Lindsay would look pictured on the cover. One can hardly keep up with reports of who she's dating, one week it's Brett Ratner and the next it's Bruce Willis.  The most recent report claims she's moving to Europe because she's dating "several men over there." Once she's ravanged Europe, the little kitten on the prowl is sure to relocate to other continents in search of fresh prey. Medium: Acrylic on board, digital text.

To further my point, I scanned a random page from Lust in Orbit, a 1963 title from my own collection of trashy vintage novels. After reading this excerpt, one can easily picture Lindsay as the narrator.
