Hey, when we make a mistake, we're not too big to apologize--if you can avoid acting like an idiot for at least a week. Dina Lohan, we're looking at you.
A week ago we said that Dina Lohan was being idiotic when she claimed that Lindsay hadn't been drinking when her SCRAM went off at the MTV Movie Awards.
Well, we've since found out that on the night in question, Linday's urine tested negative for alcohol.
We felt bad for making fun of Dina Lohan. For about 15 seconds. Because we just found out that she tried to take advantage of a celebrity perk given to Lindsay and Ali by the Carvel company.
It seems that in honor of their 75th anniversary, Carvel issued 75 special black cards that allow the card owner to take home $25 worth of ice cream a week for the next 75 years. Carvel gave two of them to the Lohan girls.
Pretty great, right? Imagine if you had one. Sure, you'd weigh 400 pounds, but hey, free ice cream!
Except the card is non-transferable. That's how Carvel protects themselves. They probably figured that real celebrities have work to do that takes them away from the nearest Carvel stores. Like they're filming one of the Lord of the Rings movies, and they're spending months pretending to be a Hobbit in New Zealand. Or they're filming a biopic about Linda Lovelace and they're on their knees somewhere learning how to ... never mind.
The point is, the cards aren't transferable. Because otherwise, the unemployed and greedy parents of celebrities would try to get free cakes.
Which is exactly what Dina did.
According to Dina:
The shop assistant said, 'Do you have I.D.?' Next minute he he grabbed my arm and took my card and held it hostage and wouldn't give me the cake! This guy was crazy! I couldn't believe this guy... it's a family card, it just didn't have my name on it. Next minute, four cop cars showed up, there's a police helicopter over head and this guy makes it seem to the cops that I'm trying to use a stolen credit card -- and for what? Over a free ice cream?! He wouldn't give it back... not even to the cops! Finally he gave up and gave me my card back. But he told me, 'You can have the card, but you can't have the cake!' It just shows how we get treated so much worse than regular people. Just wait until Lindsay and Ali hear about this. When Ali gets back, I'm going to bring her in everyday to this store -- and you can print that!
And Carvel fired back with the following:
As part of Carvel's 75th Anniversary celebration last year, we issued 75 Black Cards to celebrities. These cards were issued in the celebrity's name and require the card holder to be present at the time of use. Many celebrities have enjoyed their cards at our Carvel Ice Cream shoppes and have shared their excitement with being included in the celebration.
Unfortunately, the Lohan family has been abusing the card. While the card was issued in Lindsay and Ali's names only, her extended family has repeatedly used the card without either present. At first, we graciously honored their requests while explaining that the Black Card was not a carte blanche for unlimited Carvel Ice Cream for the extended Lohan family and friends. After more than six months of numerous and large orders for ice cream, we finally had to cut off the card and take it back.
Dina Lohan reacted badly and called the police to have her card returned. The police responded and did return the card to Dina with instructions not to use it again.
This is an unfortunate situation where certain people feel entitled to use a celebrity's name for their own purposes. We regret that the Lohan family is upset and hope this matter is put behind us quickly.
Stay classy, Dina!
"the rich are different...they get free ice cream!"
Hmm. Too bad it doesn't seem to have occurred to her to just PAY FOR the ice cream. Especially when the police showed up. But that would be too normal--wouldn't want THAT.
You know, one has to wonder why Carvel gave a card to not one but TWO Lohans. They must never read Mamarazzi or they would have known that that wasn't a wise decision. It was destined to end badly.
Maybe I'm just a wee jealous....but....don't celebrities get enough free crap as it is?
I received 1 st credit loans when I was not very old and that aided my relatives a lot. But, I require the credit loan once again.
Wow, I like the cakes. It's specially for some occasion. Nice page indeed. thanks for sharing.
