Here we go again ...

Lindsay Lohan has done it yet again. Just days after she was released from jail, sources say Lohan plans on returning back to rehab to clean up her act ... and this time for good.

There has been no word on what rehab center Lohan plans to enter, and her check-in date is hush hush. However, a source close to the Parent Trap star has said that Lindsay is going into treatment for herself and not to put on an act to sway the judge or jury.

After being sentenced to 30 days in jail without bail  from failing a drug test, Lohan came to the decision  of entering rehab after she was bailed out of jail late Friday night.

Hopefully rehab will work out for the troubled starlet, but if not it's no surprise.

Lohans next probation hearing is scheduled for Oct. 22.

The A-List Consultation:

So, is anyone surprised Lindsay has decided to try rehab yet again. Although it might look good on a celebritys image when they admit themseleves into rehab, after pulling the same stunt over and over this causes the public not to believe in you.

This will be Lohan's third attempt at rehab and to the public it might look like a way just to get off easy with the court system. Lindsay needs to check into rehab and stay until she has fully recovered.

As an image consultant I would advise Lindsay that although her intentions might be honest, her third attempt at rehab is coming across as a big joke. The public wants to see her recover from her addiction for good and stop failing her drug test.

Everytime she fails a drug test or is seen out partying after she is released from jail has a negative affect on her and makes the public view her as just another rich celebrity getting off easily within the court system.

Lindsay needs to straighten up not only for her fans, friends and family, but also for the future of her career, and if she doesn't then her career looks like it is headed in the direction of failure.

Until Next time ... Remember IMAGE is EVERYTHING!

YAY for Kanye!

Last year around this time the news surrounding Kanye West was about his on stage rant that was made during Taylor Swifts acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs. Looks like this time around he is preparing not to make the same mistake as he did last year.

If you are a "Tweeter" then you might have seen some of the hip-hoppers tweets during his nearly 3 hour tweet bender on Saturday morning. In 140 characters, West released  an apology to Swift for ruining her on stage moment and for stealing the spot light.

"I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it," said West. "If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her."

West then opened up to his "followers" about his hard knock life in the publics eye and the bad affect that came from his now embrassing interuption of Swift at the 2009 VMAs. "She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows," said West. "She has no idea what hit her. She is justa lil girl with dreams like the rest of us. She deserves the apology more than anyone. Beyonce didn't need that. MTV didn't need that and Taylor and her family, friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that."

West still wasn't done there. He went on to explain that he is only human like everyone else and that everyone can make mistakes.

"I am not a bad person," said West. "Even in the moment I was only trying to do good but people don't always need my help. I've hurt.  I've bled. I've learned.

"I only want to do good. I want to win there hearts back so I can continue to bring my take on culture to the masses  with a clean opinion. It starts with this ... I'm sorry Taylor."

Swift has not yet responded to the apology yet on her own Twitter page but once she does ... or if she does, I will do an update.

The A-List Consultation:

Can anyone tell me why after a year Kanye is just now coming out and expressing his true guilt for the embracement he caused Taylor last year? I can; It's because this years VMAs are right around the corner and he knows he will be watched and judged to see what he will do next. With that much heat riding you would you have taken the same approach West did via his Twitter?
I think Kanye was being sincere in his apology. He touched base on everyone who deserved an apology but put greater detail on Taylors apology because well she deserves the apology more than anyone else. But Kanye made a huge mistake that is still costing him even today. Timeliness! Rule#1: Always approach an image issue immediately because the longer you wait the longer it will take to correct your image in the publics eye. Kanye failed at this. Yes he did apologize the very next day after he had made his mistake but it was not even close to the apology he "tweeted" this past Saturday. This is the exact reason why the public hasn't forgiven Kanye to easliy and the reason why a year later he is still working on his image and still apologizing to Taylor.
Kanye still has a lot more to do in order to mold his image back to the old Kanye we all use to know and to win back the hearts of the public. Atleast Kanye isn't as bad off as Chris Brown and still has the capablity to remold his image. I guess we will see if he can do it.
Kanye gets a B- on his approach to reshape his image. Remember time is money and for a star money is "Power". Remember to approach an issue immediately and to control the situation before it gets out of hand or before the media gets a hold of it and puts a "spin" on it to where it is almost impossible for you to beat because society tends to believe anything that is publish.

Until Next time...Remember IMAGE is EVERYTHING!
