COVER STORY SNEAK PEEK: Lindsay's 'Friends' Enabled Meltdown

Originally posted Wednesday July 25, 2007 02:50 PM EDT

In the wake of Lindsay Lohan's latest arrest and relapse, people close to the actress are pointing fingers at those in her social circle, PEOPLE reports in its latest cover story.

"No one cared about Lindsay," a source who was at her 21st birthday party July 2 angrily notes. "It was 'How soon should we get her in there to get press?' True friends don't do that."

Lohan's party buddies "are not friends," says a close source. "They are enemies. She's got to realize that and walk away. If she doesn't, she could be the next Anna Nicole Smith. That's what I'm afraid of."
