If we all thought like Lindsay Lohan, we could have halted Hurricane Sandy

Lost in Showbiz is pleased to note the wide variety of responses to Hurricane Sandy from America's celebrities. At one extreme, there was hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, who lambasted Mayor Bloomberg for making insufficient provision for New York's homeless: "They're fucked, it's terrible." At the other there was Nicole "Coco Marie" Austin, mammiferous wife of rapper Ice-T, who posted an online video of herself in New Jersey, jiggling her surgically enhanced breasts at the incoming storm. But Lost in Showbiz's favourite celebrity reaction came via Lindsay Lohan, who before the storm hit took to Twitter to complain: "WHY is everyone in SUCH a panic about hurricane? STOP projecting negativity! Think positive and pray for peace!" Lost in Showbiz salutes Hollywood's own answer to Michael Fish, steadfast in the belief that a Category 2 hurricane can be diverted from its course if people would just buck and think nice thoughts.
