Rather than take pity on aging Dave, however, the Lohan camp is expressing anger at the gaffe.
"It’s a sticky area because Ali’s rising star is both enabled and discredited by her sister’s notoriety," a source explained. "Ali doesn’t want to ride Lindsay’s coattails, and Dina has always believed Ali is a great talent in her own right.
"When he calls her Lindsay, it reminds everyone of how much she emulates her sister’s behavior — she’s basically adopted her voice and look. We can expect it will be hard for Ali to stay out of the tabloids."
Ali’s rising star is both enabled and discredited by her sister’s notorietyAli's star is not rising. Her getting on Letterman is not a reflection of her being some hot commodity in showbiz...all it means is that the Lohans have smart, well-connected publicity people.
Ali doesn’t want to ride Lindsay’s coattails, and Dina has always believed Ali is a great talent in her own right
Ali's career is riding Lindsay's coattails...that's all she has. And Dina does not believe Ali is a great talent. Even Dina is not that out of touch with reality.
Frankly, I don't think Dina cares if Ali has any talent. Dina knows that it doesn't matter if she has any talent. You can shove pretty much anything down the public's throat these days if you package it right.
Dina probably tells Ali she has talent to keep her built up...but ultimately that will fail.
When he calls her Lindsay, it reminds everyone of how much she emulates her sister’s behavior — she’s basically adopted her voice and look. We can expect it will be hard for Ali to stay out of the tabloids
The last thing Dina wants is for Ali to stay out of the tabloids. The whole point is to get her in the tabloids...while simultaneously denying whatever it is the tabloids say about her.
That's the game...get the publicity but deny the behavior.
As for Ali emulating Lindsay's look and voice...girl's got a long way to go before she looks or sounds like Lindsay. Maybe after she's sucked several thousand cocks, smoked a million cigarettes, drunk gallons of booze and snorted the entire drug output of a fair-sized Central American banana republic she will get close.
