Camera-crazy starlet Lindsay Lohan, whose medical problems have often made the news in recent months, is revealing shocking details about the night in 2004 when she thought she was going to die from a combination of bulimia and drugs.The horrifying episode took place at the home of her former boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama. Says Lindsay, "I lay there screaming, throwing things, because the pains were so intense in my head and my liver. In the end I didn't even have the strength to take a shower. ... I ended up in hospital. My liver was swollen and I had a kidney infection and my white blood cells were accelerated. I was really, really white, like a ghost, and my legs were so numb from not walking. ... It was terrifying. But going through shit makes me that much stronger."
And what has Lindsay learned from her sobering experience (besides the fact that hanging around with Wilmer Valderrama isn't good for you)?
"Sometimes being that thin doesn't look healthy," says an older, wiser Lohan. "I kind of didn't realise that. One time when someone asked me if I was OK I just started bawling. I knew I had a problem and just could not admit it. My arms were disgusting. I had no arms. I had people sit me down and say, 'You're going to die if you don't take care of yourself'."
I think I speak for everyone when I say I hope Lindsay has really learned something and isn't just talking shit. I mean, the last thing in the world we want is for Lindsay to die or wind up in a coma or something. That would be terrible. Because, without Lindsay, what the hell would we have to talk about?
