If she doesn’t die at Coachella, Lindsay Lohan is soon to enter a mandatory rehab sentence for her myriad of substance issues (which she still swears she doesn’t have). While that might bum some people out, Lindsay’s a glass half full type of girl, and she told David Letterman that she actually views the upcoming sentence as a “blessing” and can’t wait to get in there and focus on what she loves – drugs and alcohol, naturally.
Via People:
“To be honest, I’m happiest when I’m working – the healthiest,” she said Tuesday night on The Late Show with David Letterman.
“I think this is an opportunity for me to focus on what I love in life. And I don’t think it’s a bad thing. I think it’s a blessing.”
When Letterman asked, “How many times have you been in rehab?” the obviously uncomfortable Lohan answered only, “Several.”
“And how will this time be different?” he continued. “What are they rehabbing, first of all? What is on their list? What are they going to work on when you walk through the door?”
“We didn’t discuss this in the pre-interview,” she answered. “I’m just saying to everyone.”
Later Letterman asked, “Now, do you have addiction problems?”
“Now you sound like Dr. Phil,” she said, but Letterman pressed on.
“Yeah, I’m sorry,” he said. “Is it, like, alcohol? Do you drink too much?”
“We’ve discussed this in the past,” she said.
“Did we really?” Letterman responded. “When did we discuss?”
Well, that’s… special. You and I both know that Lindsay Lohan is a lying, stealing, crazy, drug-addicted mess of a woman who has had numerous times to clean her act up and has taken exactly none of them, despite her extensive statements about how glad she is for the opportunity to “focus on what she loves” and get back on the right track. I’m not pretending I understand the ins and outs of addiction in that way, but Lindsay’s obviously never heard of the boy who cried wolf. Talk shit enough times, no one is going to believe you.
Though I normally understand when celebrities don’t want people to pry too much into their private lives when they go on talk shows, etc., I don’t understand LINDSAY in particular being so evasive and refusing to answer questions. Lindsay, you literally have NOTHING else going on in your life to talk about except your substance abuse/law-breaking issues. WHY THE F*CK would you go on a talk show and then pretend like you don’t understand why people are asking you questions about them?
Fact is Lindsay and the Letterman staff decide before the show what she will and will not talk about and she said as much to Dave. I thought it was an ambush interview and Dave is too good for that.
I LOVE the ambush!! Keep it up, Daaaave!
God forbid anyone actually call her out. It makes me like Dave even more. She’s a frickin mess, he had her squirming.
I actually like her more now. She joked at herself and answered a few of the questions, she handled herself pretty well considering how uncomfortable the interview was, even after she saw for herself, on his cheat sheet, that Letterman was going to ask her only questions of her upcoming rehab. She knows she has issues controlling herself, and is paying the consequences, so I really do hope she can go through enough therapy to get in control again.
I’m sure she got right on that therapy session after she finished going to the club till the wee hours of the morning last night after the Letterman “show”. That interview wasn’t uncomfortable because she didn’t say anything new that she hasn’t said many times before. The whole thing hit me as phony and rehearsed on her part and once again sad to see.
Why does it look like Lindsay’s breasts are near her stomach? Is the dress pattern making her body look weird?
That’s just the ugly reality showing up on film.
She looked like she was wearing my grandmother’s couch. And, coincidentally, she looks like she has my grandmother’s boobs. Somebody put a bra on that girl!
I feel really uncomfortable whenever Lindsay uses the words “blessing”, “work” or “healthy”. Sort of like when everyone avoids a relative’s obvious alcoholism at the annual christmas gathering.
