A mountain of overwhelmingly conclusive evidence has definitively proven that the Lindsay Lohan bare crotch shot we've been obsessing over studying all week is 100% genuinely real. (Maybe.) This latest development comes courtesy of the person who actually took the snapshot (er, perhaps—there's no direct quote or anything) and the information tags within the photo file (which could probably be faked as easily as say, a photograph, but still.) If all this is true, that means someone took the time and effort to Photoshop panties into a picture to protect the non-existent sterling reputation of America's most famous party girl. It seems like kind of a waste ... until you remember that we've done three whole posts on this now, so we're not exactly in a position to judge. We now consider the matter closed; until someone decides to re-open it, at which time we'll decide whether we still care, which is unlikely. You may now enjoy your celebrity vagina photo confusion-free.
