Lindsay Lohan goes topless, sees shrink

[HMG] Despite curtly rejecting a $700,000 offer from Playboy it seems Lindsay Lohan’s not wholly averse to unleashing the twins. The 23-year old former actress has just done a rather erotic photo set for the French magazine ‘Purple.’

Shot by Gucci’s go-to lens guru, Terry Richardson, the provocative shots — clearly designed for their inherent press mileage as much as their ‘heat’ – show the New Jersey native in pseudo-sexual poses, including one in which Lindsay simulates sex with both a man and a girl.

And this is not even LiLo’s first encounter with bare-boob bravado — In 2007 she posed topless in ‘New York’ magazine as a tribute to the star she regards as both her goal and her formative icon, Marilyn Monroe (photo right).

As further proof of what may be the final descent of such undeserved stardom, Lindsay has now finally deigned to seek professional help to end her bad…habits;

“She goes two, sometimes three times a week,” a well-informed source tell The Times. “This is not a program or substance-abuse counselor, it”s someone to talk to in confidence,” we’re told.

And our snitch seems quite impressed with Ms. Lohan’s commitment; “She knows this is a big step for her – get in there, talk to someone, figure out what”s going on, then try to fix it. But first comes the diagnosis.” they mused.

There have been countless signs of the demise of Ms. Lohan’s endlessly hyped and deluded career, but when you’re reduced to flashing the twins to get noticed, any hope or attempt at avoiding extinction is as desperate and doomed as the rest of her ‘fame.’

Do you think sitting down with a shrink will help her recover? Let’s hear your views on where she might go from here?…
