Don't attempt to “break the Internet”—unless you're Kim Kardashian and you're balancing a champagne glass on your naked behind! Lindsay Lohan learned this lesson the hard way over the weekend when her attempt to ruin the World Wide Web barely caused a fizzle. The Mean Girls actress posted a selfie of herself to her Twitter account on Saturday, along with the caption, “Break the Internet with clothes on #MajorLooks.”
Although the photo, which featured Lindsay in a nearly see-through lace top, trousers and a black hat, was sexy, it in no way garnered the social media response that Kim Kardashian's infamous “Break the Internet” Paper magazine shoot did in November. Lindsay's sexy shot did manage to get over 2,000 retweets. In contrast, however, a tweet posted by Kanye West containing wife Kim Kardashian's “Break the Internet” photo garnered more than 86,000 retweets and 100,000 favorites on Twitter.

Lindsay posted the same photo to her Instagram account, but did not use the “Break the Internet” caption. A day after trying to be like Kim, Lindsay actually hung out with Kris Jenner, Kim's mother. Lindsay posted a photo of their meet-up, along with the caption, “Family time.” (Kim must have loved that-- she and Lindsay reportedly do not get along.)
There may be a good reason that Lindsay didn't strip down like Kim for her “Break the Internet” photo. In a recent interview with Hunger, We've Got Issues magazine, Lindsay talked about how she's trying to give the media less to write about her.

"I stepped back from [fame] and I thought, 'Okay, if I don't put myself in that place, then they can't say anything,'” she said. “I think it's just learning and I like to learn the hard way, clearly."
She also discussed how much has changed for celebrities, now that social media has come into play.
“It's different now,” she said of fame. “We didn't use to have Twitter and stuff. Now the price that you pay is that your life is so much more viral. You can't get away from it. You have no privacy unless you choose to live your life a certain way.”
