In terms of the crippling problems of others we want to watch on TV, hoarding is the hot sadness. Obviously. Hoarders is the new Intervention. Clean up crews are the new rehab. Dr. Drew is probably already working on Dr. Drew Presents Dr. Drew's Clean-Up Crew With Dr. Drew for VH1, cause he always has his finger on the pulse of the trendiest, most-TV-ready mental problems.
Naturally Lindsay Lohan wanted in on this action. After all, she has a lot of stuff—why can't she be a hoarder? Maybe she could get a special, hour-long celebrity episode of Hoarders? Or her own Vh1 series called Living Dirty With Lindsay Lohan? A commercial for The Container Store?
As it turns out, she just got a segment on The Insider with the woman from Reno 911. It's a start!
Good work, The Insider. The somber brown background with the words "hoarding, clutter, loss, pain, hoarder" floating across it really underscores the seriousness of the situation. I'm sure we all hope Lindsay can organize her closet rooms.
Also, unless Lindsay Lohan has the flattened carcasses of Steve Guttenberg, the Olsen twins, and the entire cast of Growing Pains hidden somewhere underneath all those shoeboxes, she's not a "celebrity hoarder," she's a "hoarding celebrity."
