Are you sure you want to be a celebrity?
Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan was home alone in Venice Beach, California on Sunday when a stranger walked up to her front door and knocked. Lohan asked the elderly man what he wanted but she didn’t open her door. According to celebrity website TMZ.com, the man responded that he was friends with another alleged Lohan stalker, David Cocordan, and he wanted to explain a few things to Lindsay.
It isn’t clear who called the police, but they arrived a few minutes later and cuffed the man. He was later identified as Lonnie Short, 64, (pictured below being arrested) and he apparently can’t afford the 10% ($100) of his $1000 bail to get out of jail, which is probably a good thing for Lindsay.
Her frightening encounter with the stranger has set Lindsay’s nerves on edge, and for good reason. As a very high profile actress whose face is recognized around the world, it makes no sense that she doesn’t live in a gated community patrolled by live security 24 hours a day.
TMZ reports that Lohan has hired a bodyguard to stay with her temporarily, and she has ramped up security in her luxury 3-story Venice Beach rental with surveillance cameras in an effort to protect her privacy — and maybe her life.
