From my understanding, Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels are two of the few people in the industry willing to give Lindsay Lohan a chance. Tina has always been a Cracken apologist, ever since she and Lindsay worked together on Mean Girls. As for Lorne Michael, who is still running Saturday Night Live… well, God knows. Maybe he just takes Tina’s word for it. In any case, it was just announced that Lindsay is going to host a March episode of Saturday Night Live. Seriously? Who thinks this is a good idea? Who thinks that this doesn’t have “OMG CRACK DISASTER” written all over it?
She may not be landing big screen roles at the moment, but Lindsay Lohan has just nabbed a major gig!
On March 3, the 25-year-old will make her return to Saturday Night Live where she will host for the evening. Jack White will be the musical guest.
This will be Lohan’s fourth time on the NBC late night show — her first since 2006.
The SNL producers should have a ton of material to work with, beings that Lohan has been through a lot since she last hit the stage in NYC’s Rockefeller Center.
In November, Lohan checked in and out of jail (her fifth sentence overall) in under five hours due to crowding. Currently, she is serving the terms of her probation ordered to her by Los Angeles judge Stephanie Sautner, who told the star last month, “keep doing what you’re doing. You appear to be doing very well.”
When Lohan appears in court this Wednesday, she is expected to have completed an additional 15 days of community service at the morgue and five more psychotherapy sessions. If Lohan continues to fulfill her court-ordered obligations, her probation will end March 29.
[From Us Weekly]
So her probation won’t even be done by then, and she’ll be flying to NYC and staying in some hotel for a whole week while SNL is writing skits for her, and she rehearses and stuff. One whole week with professional actors, comedians, writers and producers, all of that attention focused on Lindsay and her crack shenanigans. Ten bucks says she won’t even be able to keep it together until then. Even if she manages to get to NYC, her first call will be to her Manhattan dealer and then all bets are off.

I read the comments on gawker and many agreed that making fun of her isn’t fun anymore because she could die like Whitney. Not another dead talented person! I hope she recovers!

You’re comparing the talent of Whitney Houston to that of Lindsay Lohan?! Really? I mean, she was a spunky and cute child actress but as far as I’ve seen, she has yet to prove this so-called talent she keeps insisting she has.
I don’t normally watch SNL, but I’ll be watching on March 3rd to watch this trainwreck. Best case scenario, she does well, gets ratings for SNL, gets her life back on track, and we can stop watching her commit (very slow and drawn out) suicide. More likely, it’ll be a s***-show and we’ll all laugh again then feel bad.

I don’t think the point made was to compare talent… rather to point out that another celebrity is in serious trouble. Whether you agree or not, many think LL had a lot of potential that has been wasted. When it comes right down to it, Lindsay and Whitney have plenty in common… raging drug addictions.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Yeah, LL had talent, probably still does. And rather than be a snot, why not just consider that other people actually might have enough decency to restrain themselves and not make jokes about, or take pleasure in mocking, someone dying from their addiction. Sick people are to be pitied and helped.
GO SNL!

Report this comment as spam or abuse
Yeah, I don’t get it. She can barely sit still and hold it together for ten minutes in court, her crackiness is always on the edge of a major breakdown, and they are expecting her to host a live show and be competent and “on” for ninety minutes? How is that going to work? And do they build a contingency plan into it in case she loses it? Like, have another host on stand-by? This all seems like an awful lot of pain in the ass to give her yet another chance she doesn’t deserve–is Lorne Michaels really that desperate for rubbernecking ratings?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
you know who was able to deliver a performance even though she was drugged up to her eyeballs and or possibly about to collapse mentally or physically? Judy Garland.
If the talent, as Lilo keeps reminding us, is there, she might be able to do a good job despite the lack of acting/hosting work for 5 years.
On the flip side, that is also the worry ie she hasn’t booked an acting/hosting job in a long time, so it would be a disaster.
either way, ratings will be through the roof.

I wonder if she is hosting on the same weekend as the Oscars, when all the good people are in LA? Traditionally during Oscar week they have some loser host SNL cause everyone else is presenting or receiving an Oscar, or otherwise engaged in a project.

Oooo!! Maybe that is their brilliant plan!! If Crackie is in NY hosting SNL, then she can’t being at the Oscars trying to break into the ceremony or after parties with her screaming, slurring, crackie antics.

I remain haunted by how far back her hairline has receded; look where the newly-cut bangs start. And please – there is no talent here, just a person whose family pimped her out and about in Hollywood and who was lucky enough to land one good part in a single well-written movie many many years ago.

The only thing I could think of when I heard this is how in the world could SNL be giving her such an opportunity?! I mean, this girl has BLOWN EVERY OPPORTUNITY THAT’S BEEN THROWN HER WAY, & here we go again…someone sees some “redemptive quality” in her YET AGAIN?! Seriously…how many chances should a person get? Like a cat that’s used up its’ nine lives, I feel Lindsay’s done the same. It’s really not fair….yeah, yeah, I know…life is not fair. Believe me-you I KNOW!
For some reason, I’m thinking that because Crackie called and offered herself, I’m thinking (HOPING)that Lorne Michaels decided to “take advantage,” and hem & haw until Lindsay told him she’d host for a terribly LOW, minimal amount of money. God…at least I HOPE that’s what has happened here.
I swear….this God-awful economy. I can’t even get a damn job right now…and this bitch gets every chance in the world…NOT FAIR! It blows/sux BIGTIME!

Well, this proves it. SNL is on its last legs, and its last breath.
.
This show stopped being funny years ago, and for a long while people still kept tuning it (good will does make you stupid sometimes), hoping that it was just a temporary malaise.
Their ratings are so low, the entertainment quotient almost non-existent, so they’d do ANYTHING to garner some publicity. And isn’t it the time of sweeps, too?
Lorne Michaels is nothing more than a fame-ho who will pimp out his, great-of-yore, show to anybody and anything in an attempt to recapture relevance. Too bad the show could not find the relevance with a roadmap in 3D.
This is clearly the latest, and one of the most desperate, attempts by SNL to increase viewership, and become HOT again. I guess fame-wh0res need to stick together,
And, seriously, this nasty, diseased-looking hag needs to just GO AWAY!

Remember the skit she had on SNL when her 30 year old self visited her present day self? That was around 2005/6. The 30-year old meth-faced Lindsay said something about her life being too fast and she has to slow it down.(I’m paraphrasing). Then present day Lindsay asked what she did in the future and the old self said Lifetime movies and porn. I dunno, can’t find a video of that one on the internet but it was crazy spot on.

Yeah, I about fell out of bed when I saw her promo pop up on my tv during SNL over the weekend. No idea why people keep giving her chance after chance after chance. I actually think she’ll do ok though. It’s not like she’s learning lines for a Broadway opening. Short skits, cue cards to read from. I imagine she’ll have a major crackie celebration after the show, however. NYC dealers better be ready.

We must create a drinking game for this episode, ladies!
- Every time she puts her finger in/on her mouth, do a shot.
- Every time we see a coke booger, do two shots.
- When (IF) she’s able to close her mouth, do three shots. And DVR it so we have actual proof she is able to close her mouth. (Bonus bag of “sea jasper” if you do.)
(I think that third one pretty much negates our chance of delusion/alcohol poisoning, as she’s not closed her mouth on camera in years.)

Boy, am I going to be feasting on massive amounts of crow if this is true. From Access Hollywood:
Lindsay Lohan has more than just her upcoming hosting gig on “Saturday Night Live” to celebrate – she’s scored the role of Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime TV movie, “Liz and Dick,” a source tells Access Hollywood’ s Billy Bush.
But, there is one legal-related caveat: Lindsay needs to stay on the right side of court.
According to the source, if Lohan continues to stick to the judge’s orders, as she has been doing, she will be playing the “Cleopatra” beauty in the Lifetime made-for-TV film about the late actress.
The project, helmed by producer Larry Thompson, has been in development since May 2011.
Following a string of recent legal woes, the 25-year-old appeared in the January/February issue of Playboy. She was last seen on the big screen in “Machete” in 2010 and on the small screen in 2009′s TV movie “Labor Pains.”
She will host “Saturday Night Live” on March 3. Jack White will be the musical guest.
Lohan is due back in court on February 22.
