Lindsay Lohan's party girl persona is following her all the way to the news desks of the world's biggest wire services, as some agencies are reportedly preparing themselves for the worst by penning the troubled star's obituary. PopEater's own Rob Shuter broke the news (second item) this morning, and he went on 'Today' to discuss Lindsay's tough times and what he's been hearing with Hoda and Kathie Lee. Watch below: "News outlets need to be prepared. However shocking a story it might be, they are in the business of breaking news fast and any preparation that can be done ahead of time is them just simply doing their jobs," a senior producer at a major news outlet told Shuter. "We all scrambled when Brittany Murphy and Heath Ledger died and don't want that to happen again."
Still, the Associated Press -- America's largest wire service for news -- told Shuter via an editor: "The AP does not talk about its internal editing or reporting plans."
Either way, we sure hope that obituary doesn't see the light of day any time soon.

This is not a big deal. Newspapers and other media have been keeping pre-written obits that they update from time to time for celebrities and famous people for a long time now. If any news organization was blindsided by the death of Britney Murphy or Heath Ledger its because they were slack, or they cut back on staff too much.

Obit?
-Here lies yet another idiot who drank and drugged themself to death.
Done.
Don't care how reckless she may be with her life, you don't wish anyone into the grave-or it could be YOU who needs the obituary next

i couldn't agree more... the media is apparently so desperate and lacking in any moral integrity.. i refuse to spend one minute listening to the garbage..rhetoric they report... i loved the way Tiger Woods manipulated the media...sending almost every reporter.. into a tail spin...criticizing him even further because he would not give them the opportunity by controlling what factual information was released to the public... I hope Lindsay L lives a long long happy prosperous...fun..crazy...love filled life.... and i look forward to watching her..
interestingly....i'm not a big Lindsay fan...but because the media seems so intent on destroying her.. i can't help but support her...
just look at the lives the media has destroyed...too many to count... and they will continue for what...MONEY!!??
This is very sad about Lindsey Lohan I hope she isn't the next one to be gone like the young stars of Hollywood but she is heading that way but I hope that Lindsey gets her life turned around. I agree with what Billy Bush said last week on Access Hollywood same thing as I'm saying.

Every major publication has obits pre-written, with biographical details of anyone news worthy. This is just an attempt to create some sort of "shock value" piece. Wow Pop Eater, you're really scrapping bottom, this time. Keep it up, and we'll be seeing you in the "death of a desperate website" archives!!

I had a seventh grade humanities teacher that made us write our own obits... as morbid as it was, it really made us think about what we were doing with our lives and how we might want to be remembered. It had a positive impact on me.

I, for one, am sick and tired of hearing about this girl who keeps getting further and further in trouble. Her family is no better then her because all they care about is fame and fortune. They have the money to help her but it doesn't look like they care. Unfortunately we'll be reading that obit soon.

They should be more interested in trying to prevent her obituary rather than writing one.

SHE HAS ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE.MAYBE SHE WILL SNAP OUT OF IT BEFORE ITS TO LATE.

Why are grown adults, with tons of make-up talking about this girl? and why do they act like they care? I doubt any of them where young enough to watch any of her movies? Leave the kid alone, who cares. Adults stop trying to act like your kids, and act grown up.I am tired of putting the news on and watching these middle age people nip pick these kids. why not tell us about something important, like the war, whats going on in the world, ways to improve out lives, our economy, etc

Hey- How about a contest? A contest for the best obit, with prizes like a blue ribbon heffer or a walrus and a date with Lindsay to the winner. The 30 bucks would pay for the date so it is a win win win situation.
I humbly submit:
Hey man, did ya hear bout Missy Lohan
The latest word, she od'd on Thunderbird
do tell, I heard it was Muscatel, oh well
I loved her deeply, now she beddy bye sleepy
gonna miss her smile, her wit, her toes and nose
but sooner or later man, we all gots to goes
Now she with Elvis and Janis and Pinky Lee
So tie a ribbon round the ol oak tree
But remember this when you ponder a cloud
A table has four legs, but it has no arms

The media does this sort of thing and not just to Lohan. They have done to other stars as well. But if she is going to die then she is going to die. Nothing any of us can do about it.

shuter belongs on a disgusting program like the today show with the four chuckling morons....idiots for idiots.

It's absolutely incredulous that so much attention and pity is afforded to a reckless, spoiled, drunken, drug addled individual such as Lohan. While the greater of us take measures to live a decent workaday life, these half wits run around without a care endangering not only themselves, but perhaps an innocent who may find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. My only hope is that she finally ODs in a hotel room or someplace where nobody else's lives are destroyed by another's careless, self centered behavior.

Your being judgemental Peterpiper and also being heartless as well wishing that Lindsay Lohan OD's.
