Lindsay Lohan Photos: Cries for Attention?

Lindsay Lohan in the media again? Say it isn't so! Lindsay Lohan, the 21-year-old actress/singer, is known for all her public rants, stunts and especially her love for the camera, so it is no surprise to me that she has decided to bare it all in front of the camera lens of famous photographer Bert Stern who first photographed Marilyn Monroe in 1962 . Lindsay has been all over the Internet talking about her love of Marilyn Monroe, her sadness over Keith Ledger's death and her own life as a celebrity and tragic life as a child growing up in the Industry.

Lindsay Lohan reportedly posed nude for New York Magazine in a shoot that was to recreate the legendary Marilyn Monroe's last photo shoot, nude. The photographer Bert Stern who originally did the legendary shoot with blonde bombshell Marilyn Monroe felt that the actress Lindsay Lohan had similar qualities as Marilyn and offered the shoot to her. She posed in various positions with various props, which if you ask me do not do her justice at all.

Marilyn Monroe cannot be compared to a "failing child star" such as Lindsay Lohan. The similarities the two share such as repeated drug abuse and alcoholism may link them together as so called "sister's from another" , but they are definitely two different breeds of celebrity. Marilyn Monroe is a pure legend, every man, woman and child fell in love with the beautiful and captivating singer/actress. Lindsay Lohan on the other hand has confused and entertained us with numerous erratic behavior schemes and off the wall publicity stunts that ultimately just display her sad life as a drug addicted child star, like so many before her.

People.com recently did an interview with the star Lindsay and when they asked her about the similarities of her and that of Marilyn Monroe, and Marilyn's untimely death, she basically replied, "I don't know. I'm not them. But I sure as hell wouldn't let it happen to me." according to the magazine PEOPLE. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that she wants the media, fans and even family to believe the same kind of fate could happen to her. A cry for attention is what most child stars know how to do well. Getting it is another story.

To date the well known Lindsay Lohan has been spiraling down the road of "lost fame" and is headed more towards a Brittany Spears recreation than that of Marilyn Monroe. Her hair color changes just about as often as her irrational behavior and new career endeavors, so believe me when I say she is literally "reaching for the stars".

America's "In Touch" Magazine reports that Lohan shot the "eye catching" photos on a beach in Malibu, California sometime last week and was inspired to pose nude after seeing Paris Hilton pose topless for a Vanity Fair Magazine cover. This according to a source from IMDB.com

In some of the photo's Lindsay copies her idol Marilyn Monroe's famous pose, but doesn't appear to have done 250 stomach crunches as stated in an interview with PEOPLE MAGAZINE.What seemed interesting but sad in this whole adventure with Lindsay lohan is that she seemed to speak of celebrities that have either ended their lives or died an untimely death. This should be concerning for her family or friends, and if anything is a cry for help it would be a suicide wish. She is so young and beautiful but is seriously coming close to perhaps not a physical death but rather a career death, such as the one Brittany Spears seems to be hosting.
