Lohan: 'I was making myself sick'
Actress talks about bulimia, drug use in Vanity Fair

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Lindsay Lohan, who was hospitalized in Miami this week for an asthma attack, tells Vanity Fair in an interview that she has dabbled in drugs and battled bulimia.

The 19-year-old actress-pop singer says that following the success of 2004's "Mean Girls, she dabbled in drugs "a little," but quickly adds: "I've gotten that out of my system." The issue hits newsstands Tuesday.

When asked if her drug use including cocaine, Lohan denies it, saying, "I don't want people to think that I've done ... you know what I mean?"

She does, though, more openly discuss last year's drastic weight loss. Lohan acknowledges that she was suffering from bulimia: "I was making myself sick."

I knew there was something wrong when that girl went from cute to Skeletor, even though she swore up and down in all her interviews that she was just working out more.

lol @ Skeletor comment!!

Yea I think it was pretty obvious that something was going on... you don't lose that much weight overnight on regular diet/exercise regimens.

I've always wanted to just shake the living shit outta her ever since she first stepped up in the Parent Trap remake.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates her. In Mean Girls I was rooting for Regina.

Something sounds fishy about that. "I was making myself sick" can mean a dozen different things. I'm suspicious anytime the surrounding quotes are edited out so that you can't tell what context it was in.

The one thing about the article I liked was when she mentioned how Tina Fey and Micheal Lorne sat her down and told her they cared about her and she needed to stop what she was doing. I know its hard to stop someone who is abusing drugs/has an eating disorder... but I sometimes wonder if these young adult actors that we often hear having drug/alcohol/eating disorders EVER had someone sit them down and try to help them out?

She admitted that she suffered bulimia.... what's so fishy about her making herself sick? That's what you do when you're bulimic right?

In that link to the CNN thing, the reporter said she had bulimia, then quoted her saying "I was making myself sick." The reporter took that one phrase, then put in other stuff around it. By taking out the stuff she said before and after that, you'd never really know what she was talking about at the time; you'd have to take the reporter's word that she was talking about bulimia, but that's not exactly what she said.....and if she did admit it to bulimia, why not quote the whole admission (which would've made that article WAY more credible than any other)? That's what I mean by fishy.

If she really just meant that the way she was eating and treating her body was making her sick, I doubt they would have posted the story like that. Rag mags may not care about a libel lawsuit, but I'm pretty sure the Associated Press doesn't want to get slapped with slander.

Vanity Fair is well known for not releasing the entire article online or to the press to get people to buy the magazine. The magazine says she is quoted as stating that she was bulimic, which is where the CNN reporter got the phrase from.

Too true! Several years ago Vanity Fair released a quote from Christian Slater in reference to then-supermodel Christy Turlington that read, "And there I was, doing it with Christy Turlington." When the issue came out, it turned out he had been talking about a photo shoot the two of them had done when they were dating.

Didn't she just come out with a book about her life as well?

Bulimia is a serious health problem.
