Barbara Sarshik just went crazy with three different parodies. First, to the tune of "Still the One" by Orleans:

Twenty-one, when I'm on a spree

Twenty-one, I don't need fake ID

I'm still having fun and I'm twenty-one

To the tune of "One" from "A Chorus Line":

One singular citation

Got you in the tabloid news

One big intoxication

Thanks to cocaine and booze

And to the tune of "When You Wish Upon a Star":

When you walk into a bar,

Everyone knows who you are

Fans and paparazzi keep their eyes on you

If you stay in Malibu,

You will get to twenty-two

You can be a superstar whose dreams come true

But another reader was not amused by any of it: "Lindsay Lohan turned 21 with out of control alcoholism and drug addiction problems. What could be funnier?. . . Or how about a funny song about people who make a nice living writing a column based on the premise that the sufferings of celebrities are funny?"

Our paychecks are pocket change for LiLo, but we get your point and promise never again to exploit the troubles of overindulged, underachieving red-carpet habitues -- unless their publicists call us. Cue Don Henley's"Dirty Laundry," and send your tips to reliablesource@washpost.com.
