MEAN GIRLS - LOHAN: 'I'M NO TARA REID'

MEAN GIRLS star LINDSAY LOHAN wants to shed her image as a party animal and become known as a serious actress. The 19-year-old wants the world to judge her on her screen successes. She says, "There's this misconception that if you're out one night, then you're said to be out every night. You have to be careful, but I think the main thing is to make sure the people around you are looking out for your best interests. "You have to let it roll off your back. I've learned to just ignore it. "But I think you can also take advantage of the fact that you're in the limelight and put things out into the world that are good messages. "I'm not some TARA REID-style party girl. And I want to be in this business for the long run."
