IT SEEMS THAT Michelle Rodriguez -- the talented and attractive former "Lost" star who can't seem to get out of her own way -- is back in the public eye. After appearing at the Marc Jacobs' show during Fashion Week with the anklet that monitors her location and alcohol level, Rodriguez attracted attention with her blog about what happened when she was arrested in Hawaii.
Apparently, Evangeline Lilly advised Rodriguez to stay overnight following a party. But Rodriguez declined. "I guess a drink or two can make you reason like a teenager or an insecure dork," she wrote. She also talked about how much she loves Hawaii, despite the way it ignites her allergies.
In the end she summarized her travails: "Life's a bitch and then I laugh. I just don't like being toyed with. I'm a full on believer that we create our own chaos, yet those that are strong will always get the shorter end of the stick, that's when I step back, weigh things, evaluate them, and stand stronger than I was before the storm. One thing's for sure, I'll take the FBI approved truth serum over a VCR Dog Tag any day of the week. I've got nothing to hide."
