I swear. I leave work a hour early yesterday to head home in the pouring Boston rain (thank gosh they did postpone that Red Sox home-opener) and the blogosphere takes that as a sign to blow up, without my knowledge, with the Lindsay Lohan/Samantha Ronson breakup. Yes, you read that right. Breakup. Don't say you didn't see this coming.
According to People Magazine, Ronson split with Lohan (heartbreaking!). Lohan went crazy ex-girlfriend (we all have our not-so-shining moments), and tried to get into the 'I Heart Ronson' party this weekend in Los Angeles. The day after the unsuccessful party crash, Lohan was out and about in LA where paparazzos claim, "Lindsay kept hiding her face in her hands … One second she would scream that we were scaring her and the next she started rambling about how much she loves Samantha." Oh dear.
The story gets better though (far juicier than any of my breakups - although P might disagree). LiLo claims that Ronson cheated on her, via Twitter. That's right, Twitter is the new breakup tool. Take note. Ronson then shoots back with this image (again, via Twitter). Classy girls. Real classy.
LiLo. Consider this an open letter from Pop Culture Paradox to you. Breakups suck. They really do, and this isn't your first one. We all remember Wilmer Valderama (it's okay, we all make childhood dating mistakes). We all act irrationally when a breakup happens. Sometimes you try to crash an ex's party (been there, done that). Sometimes you turn to not-so-great substances (don't bother. Ew). Sometimes you feel the need to lash out. My best advice? Stick by your friends and family, eat some greasy food (I suggest Sonic, since it's delicious), and have some retail therapy (because we call could use a new pair of Louboutins). Stand strong, because at the very least, your ex isn't the best (or even a good) DJ, and you were the pretty one in the relationship afterall - and that should allow you to sleep a bit easier.
