This weekend’s episode of Living Lohan on E! featured what it seemed like the show was going to be about initially – what life is like as a Lohan.

While Ali is working on her music and career, the reality is that because she still goes to school like any other wealthy 14 year old, she gets teased and has to deal with a lot than any other wealthy 14 year old because of her sister Lindsay’s celebrity. Tonight, the show gave an example of how her sister’s celebrity has affected the teenager’s life as some “Mean Girls” from Ali’s high school told Ali to “stop trying to be like your sister” and asked if her if she was “going to rehab” like her older sister and role model.

It was actually very sad to see Ali get teased because she really looks up to her older sister, who has been filling tabloid headlines of late with rumors of her possible romance with best friend Samantha Ronson. Ironically, Mom Dina Lohan kept making references to Mean Girls

, the movie that truly broke Lindsay Lohan into super stardom, when referring to these girls who say malicious things to Ali in school.

Ali handled it all well, but this was definitely the most interesting thing that the show has covered so far, much like when Keeping Up with the Kardashians talked about their relationship with their late father. I think that we’ve all come to grips with the idea that reality TV is more semi-scripted reality TV than anything, but there are some glimpses of reality in there that help us understand these people that fill our DVRs every week.

Although Ali was the only White girl there and looked a little out of place in what looked to be more of an urban program, she found some clarity at a performing arts program called IMPACT – despite being followed by a small gang of paparazzi upon arrival. I don’t think that this will become a regular part of her life, but it would definitely make for good TV to see Ali become a part of the IMPACT community, which looked to be all African-American and much more gospel and hip-hop oriented than you’d think Ali is at first glance.

It was kind of cool that Dina brought Ali there, but unfortunately, I’m almost positive that her involvement with the program for positivity through the arts will be a one time thing on the show.

Next week, Michael Lohan Jr., Lindsay’s younger brother and Ali’s older brother, comes home with his girlfriend. Michael Lohan was in high school while Lindsay was reaching her peaks of superstardom, so he’s more than familiar with life as a Lohan as we know it.

Seeing as Ali has thrust herself into the paparazzis’ eyes as made obvious by the throngs of paparazzi that followed her around in tonight’s episode, it will be interesting to see how Michael handles being just a guy in college who has one of the most well-known faces on the planet as a sister.

We’re still waiting on a Lindsay sighting on the show, but clearly, her influence on the family is something that will be felt regardless of if there is a cameo this season.

Taken from my Rotten Tomatoes blog – A 20-Something Guy with the Movie Taste of a 14 Year Old Girl

To be honest, I had a bit of an emotionally and physically draining day yesterday. But as an eternal optimist, I always love to pretend that everything is ok, so it is. If I believe it and act it, my very soft and pliable brain (which is as smooth as a dolphin’s ass) is convinced that “it” is indeed “it.”

While superlatives increasingly become things of the past as we get older and are things that we rarely ever say with any kind of relative sincerity (”Best. Movie. Evarrrrr.” vs. “This is my best best friend in the whole worlddddd!!!” years ago) after we’ve received our high school yearbooks (once upon a time, I was “Best Personality” of my 2002 high school graduating class), I thought I would take a trip back into a time when it was cool to say what were your favorite things in the world.

My favorite actress: Rachel McAdams

A perennial mainstay on my list of hottest celebrities, Rachel McAdams (and her flawless skin and shiny hair) pretty much manages to play a dreamboat in every movie that she’s in, whether she’s supposed to or not. I don’t think the girl can help it. When people hear that R-Mac is my favorite, they tell me that it makes sense because I seem to love happy girls with “cute personalities,” and brown hair, which is more rare than you’d expect.

In Wedding Crashers (Certified Fresh @ 75%), she plays Claire, the perfect woman.

Dreamboat as a brunette… Oh to be a glass on that table…

And yes, I am creepy…

In Mean Girls (Certified Fresh @ 85%), even as the “Queen Bee” Regina George, McAdams is so likable in her over-the-top bougie meanness that she is completely irresistible as an antagonist turned glorious teen queen by the movie’s conclusion. LiLo, who?

I just want to lose 5 pounds…

(a little less dreamy as a blonde)

While most love story loving women would say it’s her best role, R-Mac played Allie, a girl who just LOVES to make out all the time, in girl-favorite flick The Notebook (51%), a movie with no balls at all. Somehow, because of McAdams, I still own it (as I do every movie on this list other than Wedding Crashers, which I’ll probably get this weekend now that I have realized this).

Dude, we effing got it. Stop.

Even in Red Eye (Certified Fresh @ 79%), a movie that I don’t think that many people saw (yet, I still bought on DVD without seeing it because she was in it), McAdams plays a amazingly cool under pressure hotel concierge-ish manager / supervisor / something / hospitality goddess.

Haha, oh you’re so funnyyyy… YOU PSYCHO KILLER!!

Even as she’s running for her life, it turns out that R-Mac was once a (hot) field hockey player! Not only is she a girly girl who likes to make out, she’s athletic too! What made McAdams so great in Red Eye is that it showed that she can play “the smart” just as well as she can play “the spoiled, bratty ditz.” And clearly, by the bevy of Certified Fresh medallions that are dangling from her talented neck, at least she’s in good movies!

So yes, my favorite actress is Rachel McAdams – a dreamboat by any name.
