Or more to the point, balls lack Lindsay Lohan.
Confused? Let's try expressing it as a riddle: what do Gina Lollabrigida,
Geri Halliwell,
Farrah Fawcett,
Nicolette Sheridan,
Paris Hilton,
and Dita Von Teese
have in common?
Each one has been Richard Lugner's guest at the Vienna Opera Ball.
Seems that the 74-year-old Austrian construction magnate invites a starlet of some sort every year. The invitee is paid $150,000 to attend the ball, pose for pictures, and sign a few autographs. (And get your minds out of the gutter; Lugner is also accompanied by his family.)
At any rate, Lindsay agreed to go. And then the day of the ball, she got to the airport two hours late. There was a private jet to fly her to Vienna, but it cost $14,000 to keep it waiting, and Lilo didn't have that much room on her credit card.
So she blew it off.
That's right; she blew off the opportunity to earn $150,000. And for what? To go shopping.
Would someone please explain to this child that first you earn the money, then you spend it?
At any rate, Lugner says he's going to invite someone older next year. We're hoping he picks Betty White. She's smart, funny, cute as a button, and understands the difference between income and expenses.

She couldn't get her ass to the airport on time to make more in one evening than I have ever made in one year?
She doesn't deserve that money.
