Keeping Crazy Away From Crazy

There was a rumor that Lindsay Lohan was spotted with Adam Leber (who manages Britney Spears).  Not shockingly, Britney fans were not happy.  The responses were mostly, "Keep Lindsay away from Britney."  Apparently, whatever Lindsay has must be contagious.
These fans must have short-term memory loss, because not too long ago Britney was in a similar position (minus the jail time).  Imagine if another celebrity's fan base said, "Keep Britney away."  Britney fans would have been pissed.
The idea that Lindsay needs to be separated from others is ludicrous.  If anything, it's the opposite: she needs to be reintegrated back into society.  In fact, hanging out with Britney would probably be great for Lindsay.  She'd be a positive influence on her.  Obviously, it's unlikely to happen.  But for Britney fans to thumb their noses at the idea, as if Britney is somehow above Lindsay, is ridiculous.
Newsflash: Britney's not above anyone.  Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your queen has problems just like the rest of us.  No, she avoided jail, and she didn't go to four different rehabs.  She just did other things.
I like Lindsay and I want to see her career restarted.  But on a personal level, I just want to see her live a healthy life.  Shunning her (or passing the idea around) won't help.
