What the WTF?!?

Best Job Ever (Or Is It?)

Whenever a news magazine or Yahoo publishes an article about current, must-have top jobs, they never suggest pursuing a career in sober companionship. Why not? Hanging out with a high-profile alcoholic or drug addict in an attempt to keep them away from the substances they so dearly crave seems like a valuable public service, doesn't it? Lindsay Lohan's sober companion, Lori Cersasoli, has helped both Drew Barrymore and the sketchy Olsen twin kick their drug habits and look at all the success that has come their way: Barrymore remains a top Hollywood star and runs a succesful production company, and Mary-Kate does, um, whatever it is she does, only now she's doing it sober (and, presumably, freshly bathed).

And how much does Cerasoli get paid to keep Hollywood's female elite drug-free? Two-thousand (that's 2,000) dollars a day, which means, last month, Ms. Cerasoli made a whopping $62,000 following Lindsay Lohan around and occasionally slapping the starlet on the hand when she reached for a J-ello shooter or a crack-pipe. Sounds pretty sweet, right? Well, $62,000 in one month is pretty nice, but remember, to make that kind of fat cash you have to HANG OUT WITH LINDSAY LOHAN ALL DAY. Actually, you know what might be worse--being Robin Williams' sober companion. At least Lindsay Lohan is kinda hot, you know, in that recovering junkie-stripper kind of way.
