"Dina Lohan graced the red carpet of Georgia Rule last night, but not just
as a guest of her daughter. She was there working as a special correspondent for
Entertainment Tonight, despite little experience in the field."
Is Ma Lohan riding her little Lohan's coat tails to undeserved fame? I find myself wondering not only about the position that she was given for this event - for no other apparent reason that her connection to her daughter, but who didn't get it. Frankly covering your own childs movie premier is like covering the company of the man you are having an affair with (yes that means you Maria).
I wonder as a journalism student if there may be someone who has gone through the steps, taken the classes and done the internship to be a journalist, that got bumped. This isn't about weather Dina Lohan is capable of performing the job or not, but a question of she has really done enough of the work that many other have done, to deserve the job. I don't begrudge her all the fame in the world for being the mother of a movie star. Let her walk the red carpet, let her into the VIP room of every club in town, but must we hand over everything to these stars and their hungy egos?
