Lindsey Lohan: "Sex in the City" Taught Me To Be A Firecrotch

As Michael Medved notes, Hollywood can't give itself kudos on Oscar night for changing hearts and minds and then claim that they never change hearts and minds in a bad way. Sex and the City might have been harmlessly racy fun for adults, but what was the effect on younger girls?

The 20-year-old actress insists the hit show - which focused on the love lives of four single women in New York - taught her to avoid settling down with one guy and admits she is very happy seeing lots of different people.

Lindsay - who has been linked to several different famous men in recent months, including Paris Hilton's ex Stavros Niarchos - told Elle magazine: "My mum is going to kill me for speaking about sleeping with people. But I don't want to put myself in the position where I'm in a monogamous relationship right now. I'm not dating just one person. 'Sex and the City' changed everything for me because those girls would sleep with so many people."

It showed the women as having the sort of jobs a teenage girl would find fabuolous, living in fabulous New York City, attending all sort of fabulous premeires and art-gallery openings, and, well, generally whoring around.

The shows' producers may not have intended to do anything more than make a n all-female version of the Horny College Guys sex comedy, but in presenting the loose lifestyle so appealingly -- especially appealingly for younger girls -- it seems to have an impact. A bad one.
