5 Ideas for Life After Rehab, Linds

And she’s out.

Lindsay Lohan left her (latest) court-mandated 90-day rehab stint yesterday, and now that I see this pic of L2, all glowy smiles as she left the Malibu center in which she was working on herself, I cannot help but feel hopeful.

I know – Glutton for Punishment Alert!

All kidding aside, I guess there’s still a part of me that’s rooting for this girl, no matter how hard it tries to quit her.

So here are a few unsolicited suggestion that I believe could help La Lohan keep it together and reclaim her rightful place among respectable Hollywood folk:

1. Fire Dina Lohan. She don’t need to be your manager, she needs to be your mom (and do a heckuva lot better job at that one that she seemingly has so far).

2. Keep Michael Lohan at bay, but don’t freeze him out. He’s your dad, girl – he ain’t goin’ nowhere. Have a frank hear-to-heart with the man, tell him you appreciate his intentions but hate his methods. Last chance.

3. Audit a college class. Something easy, like a language. At a small institution – don’t get fancy. Be among real people for a change.

4. Stay out of the clubs. They obviously haven’t done you any favors. All those rumors you sang about, they got started with you running in those circles. 

5. Get a Netflix account. House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black are really, really good distractions.

You already have a couple of things keeping you busy – subbing for Chelsea Handler, sitting down with Oprah. Don’t bite on anything more than you can chew. It’s not a race. Show ’em/us you’re trying and meaning it little by little.

If you rebuild it, they/we will come.

Update 1: Just a day after leaving rehab, Linds was slapped with some additional mandatory time, but it’s a good thing.

Per a medical recommendation, a judge ruled that L2 needs to complete an additional 15 months of therapy – so through November of next year, at least – to prevent “almost certain failure” for the actress on the road up ahead.

Girlfriend looks and sounds good.

Hope she keeps it up. ’Cause that the Linds I heart. (She just really, really needs to not call her dermatologist for any more fillers and that kinda stuff. Ever!)
