ALERT: Why does TMZ care about Lindsay Lohan all of a sudden?

All of a sudden the corporate porn-pushing gossip site TMZ.com cares about Lindsay Lohan? After years of harassing, intruding, taunting, bothering and humiliating the talented, troubled, hard-partying, hardly working actress, they run an "exclusive" story that her drug use is out of control and she may be near death?

What's their game? Lindsay's father Michael Lohan has been shouting that fact from the rooftops for three years now. We've raised the alarm on a regular basis (as seen below).

Is it a coincidence that the shaved bronzed midget frontman and his toddler army run this "exclusive" story the very same week we threw up our hands and suspended our long-running Lindsay Lohan Watch, that Michael Lohan threatened physical harm paparazzi who endanger his daughter, and a former employee sued the sleaze operation, alleging drug and booze use and harassment?

What do they know? Is TMZ about to be implicated in something? We know they don't care about Lindsay Lohan's health, so why now?

Lindsay Lohan watch: Hoarding and whoring

While waiting for her sex tape to hit the Internet, hard-living, hardly-working, troubled and talented actress Lindsay Lohan gets a paycheck today by agreeing to be humiliated on The insider, the Pat O'Brien-soiled, even more vacuous and vapid spawn of the syndicated infotainment show, Entertainment Tonight. Celebrity Rehab can't be any more humiliating than allowing comedian Niecy Nash to enter your home and reveal you to be depressed, addled hoarder living in a junior Grey Gardens, crowded by piles of freebies and trash while moaning about the never-ending troubles pressed upon you by your father, Michael. Promotion of the sad display has been drawing ridicule for past 24 hours and the segment airs this evening, probably followed by another paid appearance on Niecy's cable show, Clean House.
