"Club Mom" Supports Lindsay
This article recognizes the fact that, while it may seem irresponsible for Lindsay Lohan to have gotten into another car accident, the paparazzi may have been the cause of it or the others.

This article seemed very interesting because it addresses the issue of role models. It is seemingly obvious that Paris and Brittney may not be the best women to look up to for children and tweens, but whose fault is it that they are?
