Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro has claimed that the media's reaction to the recent behaviour of Lindsey Lohan has been over-the-top.

Mark Malkin at E!online> quotes him as saying: "When I was 20 years old, the s**t you would have on me would have been mind-blowing."

He added: "I just see girls growing up in Hollywood and I don't mean to diminish it but the reality is that billions of kids go through the same stuff all over the country.

"But just because she happened to have a big movie or two, we're blowing it up as this big shocker - but it's not. It's adolescence!"

Lohan was arrested for driving under the influence on July 24 and was checked into a rehab centre in Utah earlier this week.
