There seems to be a resurgence of interest in
Charles Manson, the notorious lifelong convict who is currently serving a life sentence for masterminding the 1969 Tate/LaBianca murders, as of late. You may have heard about the
search for bodies buried at the group's final hideout at Barker Ranch, Death Valley, using specially trained cadaver dogs. Besides that,
Lindsey Lohan has signed on to star as Manson follower Nancy "Brenda" Pitman in a new film entitled
Manson Girls. Also, documentary filmmaker Robert Hendrickson has finally given his classic 1973 film
MANSON a proper DVD release, and has also released a new film entitled
The Manson Gang, consisting of leftover original footage from his first film. There are even rumors that ol' Charlie might receive a new trial. So why all the sudden interest?

Lindsay Lohan,
America's Dream Girl*, has been a potent
pop culture event ever since her rise to fame in
Disney's 1998 remake of
Parent Trap. As the first red haired child ever hired by
Ford Modeling Agency at the
age of 3, Lohan clearly had her young eye aimed at Hollywood. Her breakout role came with the 2004 release of
Mean Girls. Skyrocketed into the public consciousness, Lohan quickly released two
pop albums and pumped out classic films such as
Herbie: Fully Loaded and
Georgia Rule. With Britney Spears's
descent into oblivion and
Paris Hilton's problems with the law, Lohan appeared ready to supplant Britney as
The It Girl. But with her rocky personal life and her love of
night clubs,
the party scene,
strawberry quick, and after
problems with her studio, and
running low on cash, people wondered, could Lohan turn her life around? Sadly, that
appears to be a no. After being charged with a
DUI on Thursday for an
accident in May, Lohan
was charged with
another DUI (and cocaine possession) Monday morning after
chasing another car. A story is quickly unfolding involving a
fired assistant,
bad damage control,
a bar at a rehab center,
prison chic,
more bad parenting and a
request for privacy / denial of drug possession.
Mugshots were also released. Is she the next
Pete Doherty?
