Lindsay Lohan is irresponsible.  Yep, the actress, who recently completed separate stints in jail and detox, is admitting that she doesn’t always make the best decisions.  

“I was irresponsible. And I’m not making excuses,” Lohan says in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair.  The only problem is that the article is full of a variety of excuses for the starlet’s bad behavior.  She touches on everything from the innocence of youth to the influence of Britney Spears to blaming everything on her father. 

A major part of her issues stem from the tabloids.  As she grew up in the public eye, she used the rag mags as a guiding force in how to behave.  She admits, ”I would look up to those girls … the Britneys and whatever.  And I would be like, I want to be like that.”

Now that she’s paid the price of her bad behavior, Lohan says she’s ready to put her partying days behind her and start acting like a grown up.  “I see where that’s gotten me now,” she says, “and I don’t like it.”

“These were my college years,” she adds.  ”But they were in the public eye. I was irresponsible. I was experimenting. I was doing certain things that people do 10 times more of when they’re in college.”

Although she admits that her club hopping is over, Lindsay maintains that she is not an alcoholic or drug addict. ”If I were the alcoholic everyone says I am,” she says, “then putting a [SCRAM] bracelet on would have ended me up in detox, in the emergency room, because I would have had to come down from all the things that people say I’m taking and my father says I’m taking – so that says something, because I was fine.”

Moving on to the subject of her father, Michael Lohan, there are no mixed signals.  Her actions are largely his fault for being an absentee dad while her mom was busy raising her siblings.

“I didn’t have any structure,” she admits.  ”In the beginning, I had structure, and then I lost all the structure in my life. I think a lot of it was because when I was doing my first slew of movies, it was very go-go, and I had a lot of responsibility, and I think just the second I didn’t have [structure] anymore – I was 18, 19 – with a ton of money.”

In Lindsay’s eyes, everything seemed to fall apart when dad, Michael Lohan, left the family.

“I think if anyone should be looked at medically it’s him,” says Lindsay. “He has such a big chemical imbalance at this point because of all the things he’s done to himself. … The worst part of it is you turn around and you see your dad crying and normally you’d be, like, happy that your father’s there. But then he has to go and do an interview right after.”

Today Lindsay is looking to put all the drama behind her and just get back to work.

She says, “I want my career back. I know that I’m a damn good actress, and it’s been my passion since I was a child, and I know that when I care about something, I put 100 percent and more into it. … I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. It’s not fun anyway. I don’t care. It’s the same thing every time.”
