The Today show has finally released the full Lindsay Lohan interview. On Tuesday, Lohan sat down with Matt Lauer for her first “long” interview in years. The way Today has been billing this thing, I thought it was going to be at least 10 minutes of crack lies, but it’s barely five minutes of crack-denials and distracting crack wigs (UPDATE: Ah, it‘s a two-part interview). We had a partial transcript of the interview yesterday (here) and a preview clip of the interview as well (here). You can watch this mess below, and I’ll be adding some of my thoughts – in real time – after the video:
Here’s Part 1 of the interview:

0:25 – AHHHH!!! Good God, her face.
0:40 – Ah, a crack joke. She jokes about how “quiet” she’s been.
1:06 Lauer: How are you wiser? Classic narcissist answer, “I’ve learned how to live my life in a way that I’m happy, and I can do the things that I want to do.”
1:10: “I’ve grown.” Yeah, with your bolt-ons and your jacked lips.
2:00 – Being in “denial” when she was 19 years old – “I think it was — it’s a scary thing to have to kind of express to people … I wasn’t as comfortable with myself then. I think it was a fear factor that I had about what was really going on. And, you know, I had to get that wakeup call.” WHAT WAKEUP CALL?!!?!
2: 40 – She starts talking about being “lonely”. Like she only partied and became a crackie because she was lonely. More like she wanted an audience, constantly. “Some of the main things are the people you surround yourselves with…. I just allowed a lot of people to be around me at all times, and I don’t think they were necessarily there for the right reasons, and I wasn’t concerned with all that.”
3:00-ish – She trusts Mother Crackie. “I trust my family, my mom, my sister and my brothers. I have a really great group of people that I work with now.”
Part 2 of the interview:

This part has more cracked-out cackling. I can’t even break down this part of it. I think my favorite part is when Lauer is like, “People think you’re next crack shenanigan is coming soon.” And she’s like, “It’s unfortunate!” But the look on her face is all, “Those people are so right. MOVE THAT CONE!!!” Oh, and around 4:30 she once again claims that by the age of 30, she’d like to have won an Oscar. For real.
Lauer is really kiss-ass in this interview – I mean, he’s trying to challenge her on her cracked-out BS, but it’s all about the follow-up questions. When she crack-cackles about her “sobriety” or when she can’t state how long she’s been sober, that’s the time for a hard-hitting follow-up. I’d also like the point out the stupidity of Lohan’s publicity campaign for the Liz Taylor part – she did this when she was connected to the Linda Lovelace project too. She went out and did all of this press before filming (and financing) even happened. She doesn’t want to “work”. She wants to talk about “working.” She wants the shortcut, always.
Screencaps from Today.
Ick. Her skin and hair. Crack out with your rack out.
omg! hahah That’s a new one on me! 😆
LOL. It’s a shame because she looked gorgeous in the last interview. Only 6 years ago.
Lindsay was really cute when she was 16, but now she’s 25. She’s older and isn’t that cute kid anymore. Good luck on her dreams. At least she now has dreams and she can have it if she really wants it.
Her hair color with that face is an insult to Albino hoochachas everywhere!
“I keep only family that I trust around me, like my mother”!!!! If that doesn’t show you she’s still tripping out of her mind, I don’t know what does.
!!!
Hilarious, and please don’t mind if I steal that!
Wow. I can’t stand her, but it is sad. She used to be so pretty and fresh, and now she looks like she was (as we say in the South) rode hard and put away wet. It’d be nice if she shocked everyone and got her act together, but I don’t have a lot of confidence in that happening.
Poor, poor child. Hasn’t accepted that her career is over. Go back to school, learn a trade.
She is TOTALLY delusional! Oscar by 30! Bwahahahahah….
There is one interesting – I’m sure unintentional- inkling into her priorities and her attitude towards work.
She never says ‘I love being an actor. I love researching the roles, building the character. I love being in front of the camera, love acting out the pages of wonderful scripts, love working vis-a-vis the great actors I’m priviledged to be cast alongside’.
No, she won’t say that anymore.
Instead, it is ‘I love going to PREMIERES, I love doing PUBLICITY TOURs, I love being on set and hanging out with all the people, I love being here on TV talking about myself’.
So transparent that she does not care nor want to work as an actress. NO, she wants to be CELEBRATED as an actress, adored and idolized, like Elizabeth Taylor. Well, Crackie, guess what? You have to actually have some work ethic, some moral backbone, some beauty and SOME F-ing TALENT to even dream of that happening.
F-this, she ‘loves going o premieres’!!! This one, right there, is an encapsulation of everything we ever needed to know about her. She is a LAZY, LAZY, LAZY Talentless hack.
It was hilarious that she admitted (probably unintentionally again) that SHE stalked Lorne Michaels to give her a chance at the SNL hosting gig again, just like we know she stalked the Lifetime producers for the Taylor role.
When will she get a clue that people do not want to give her the ‘good’ roles, and the public does not want to watch her RUIN any good role she might have rangled.
Ughhhh, just go away you talentless, vacant, brain-dead, cracked out skank.
And that nasty, nasty face!!! She thinks she can play Taylor with this FUGLY on display? What a joke!
Girl, she don’t even know what “vis-a-vis” means …
I think Lorne jumped at this because SNL has slid again since all the good writers took off (still mourning their loss of Tina Fey and Amy Pohler), and it’s also become the one place where publicly hated stars can go to poke fun at themselves (Alec Baldwin, Drew Barrymore, etc.). Which is going to stop working now that she’s doing it.
PREACH IT! That = True!
Agreed on every point!!!
Who here was the one that nailed this before it even came out?
Scary
wants to work
Lorne like a father
Kudos on your Crackie premonitions-spot on!
She is so damn ugly now and I don’t want to hear anyone else call her a poor child, she’s almost 26 damn years old!
Well said – true dat!
I still think she’s going to continue on her cracked out path….wonder which will happen.
Mornin brin
I’m with you, she’ll continue her p.r. hacks crack lies and do as she always does, continue on her ‘crack’ path.
She’s merely paying ‘lip service’ (pun NOT intended) to the people she THINKS are listening, say like the Taylor producers.
Hi ladies. I’m still recovering from the flu, so I’m a little slow on the draw today. And I just got our internet back up – it went out in the storm last night.
Agreed, she’ll keep on keeping on on her crackie path. I doubt she knows any other way at this stage of her life.
Seriously, why is her face so bloated??
the pictures of her face from any type of side angle are fine. But notice, when you get a view of her face from the front it looks like Madonna’s weird squirrel face/chicken cutlets in da cheeks!?! What on earth did she do? I was reading the comments yesterday about her face and I was like, whatever bad hair bad lips – but it was not until today that I realized this chick has gone and skunked up her face! What what? Those cheeks are packing some serious heat – even in her *chubby* teen years her face was never shaped like that!!!
Part of it is that bangs make your face look rounder, especially when you have a slight pudge to your cheeks. But she’s now stuck with the bangs, because they were added in as extensions to cover over her bald part from malnutrition and who knows, maybe she has tension alopecia from the stress and the constant bleaching and the prior extensions, and now the extensions will further bald her front center partline. Which is the damn worst place in the world to be balding. These cracky party stars seriously need to learn how to care for their hair – it’s of tantamount importance to your look, when your looks are your bread and butter. Stupid kid.
^^^ YES, Yes and yes.
coke = bloat and alcohol = bloat
Her current look is reminding me of Anna Faris
Exactly, right when she started shooting and then promoting that ‘What’s your number?’ POS. Ana used to have a lovely, pretty face. Then she went and had some shi! done to it that was TOTALLY UNNECESSARY! And ended up looking like a chipmunk blown up from within. Now Crackie’s done the same. When I see that look all I can do is think ‘gosh, I can almost see it continuing to inflate before my eyes, it may actually blow up before the show is over…’ Great, now I’m ready to puke.
“chipmunk being blown up from within”
HAHAHAHA! I was in Jack-In-the-Box today for lunch and this crack me the hell up.
She does look like that! Anna Faris use to be a cute girl but she has jacked up her face so much it’ll never recover.
omg you are right! She does look like Voldermort
Why or why NBC have you thrust this girl upon us via Toady and SNL?
You’ll find out the hard way that your network’s name is forever tainted with hers…
N ever

Incoming ugly rant: I can’t stand Matt Lauer; For someone who wants to be taken as a serious jounalist, (which is why he thinks he deserves, what 300 mil?) he always goes softball on celeb’s. Guess he can’t bear the idea of being called “glib” again. It’s all about ratings and getting publicists to get them more interviews.
Lauer, Curry, et all are just another arm of the celeb PR machine. This is what they do best. It has nothing to do with journalism and they are far from being journalists.
I think Matt Lauer always comes across as totally fake.
I think she is only doing Saturday Night Live because SHE is the joke. I don’t think they hired her to do it because they think she’ll be any good I think she was asked because they know that she is a joke and that people will laugh AT her, not with her and that people will tune in to see the train wreck. The same reason that anyone in their right mind purchased that god-awful Playboy issue. I think she’s an idiot to not be able to see that.
The unfortuante thing in all of it though is that as long as people keep wanting to see the train wreck, the longer we have to deal with her cracked face.
I couldn’t even get through those painfully un-funny promos for the show. It really bummed me out, because I was really looking forward to laughing and pointing, but now I’m not even sure I’ll be able to watch. 🙁
Smh that crack she’s been smoking must have killed any common sense she “might” have had left. If she delusional hoe think she’s getting an oscar then I’m getting a noble peace prize *roll eyes*
Her face is ruined!
ITA….how can she be playing Elizabeth Taylor, it’s an insult!
Girl! I ain’t even sure you’ll witness the Oscars 2013.
Oh, SNAP!!!! Bwahahahahaahahahha!
Another one of Matt Lauer’s fluff interviews. Can always count on the Today show for the hard hitting interviews. NOT.
He flat out lied to her face : “You look good.” Right Lauer… And yeah, she sould know since when she is sober. Well, how can you know how long you are sober, when you are not!
It was even more hilarious that he said she sounded good.
Why would anyone believe a single thing this crackhead has to say? She has a proven track record of being a self-involved shameless LIAR. Like, for years and years now, not just a little blip of idiocy that should be overlooked.
What a frigging moron, it must be blissful to be that mentally vacant and unable/unwilling to grasp reality that you can just plant yourself on national TV and spew garbage and nonsense, and actually think that people buy your stories. I’d love to be that crazy.
Her jacked up lips and puffy cheeks, with those horrid bangs, make her whole head look round and fat. Good job Lilo!
Matt Lauer didn’t follow up on the obvious lies she told because I think this was all worked out BEFORE the interview. Lindsay was promised a “fluff-piece,” and we can all see this is exactly what this alleged interview is….a fluff-piece. Total BS.
I predicted this, & my humble opinion is now that Lauer has absolutely NO credibility. All these people that earn millions for doing absolutely nothing. Makes me sick.
As far as Crackie? We all know she’s in a free-fall while on fire. The cameras and interviews are just documenting it. I think this “interview” was called such as an excuse to document Crackie going straight to hell in flames.
I agree 100% Kimbob! These morning tv show hosts pretending to be “journalists” are all fluff and no stuff. I can’t watch any of these overpaid monkeys.
What we’re really looking at here is an NBC promotional piece. NBC owns Today Show, NBC owns SNL – NBC drumming up publicity for both by having her on.
Agreed it was relatively softball, but with the previous point in mind at least it makes sense from a commercial standpoint.
Can’t believe he said she “looked good.”
Remember her crack teeth before they were veneered over?
It is more difficult to hide a nasal septum that is being dissolved by cocaine…..
I reckon it’s all those people she surrounded herself with that caused her to do the stupid shit she’s done. I cry BULLSHIT! Why won’t she own her screwed up life? The girl still looks f**ked up to me, rode hard and hung up wet, ya know?
I know her voice has always been crack raspy, but, DAMN! Not only does she look like dammit, she sounds like it, too. How in the world is she gonna play Elizabeth Taylor? Her looks or voice just don’t cut it.
The girl ain’t right, and never will be. Oscar my ass……
She looks so dehydrated. That’s booze and coke for sure.
While I’m not going to pump up the credibility of Lauer, I will suggest that he has no INTEREST in grilling her. What would be the point? She’s a sad case.
I know there’s a feeling around that she’s just skated through her troubles, but a TV interview is not going to deliver the punishment some think she deserves or wipe the BS lies off her face. Sad.
He was clearly told beforehand not to challenge her on anything and to stroke that ego. He (and the rest of 30 Rock) knows better than to upset her in any way, shape, or form.
How many trips to Rehab have there been? How many times has she been asked the exact same questions and given the same bullshit answers, possibly even on the Today Show?
She looks like as if she will start to cry every second. Poor girl.
Seriously. Honestly, I’m actually scared for this chick now, because I have a strong feeling that she’s going to drop dead any second now. Just hope that she’s actually sincere about coming back now and that she’s getting herself on a healthy track. I may be a cynical chick, but this sounds like some deep sh*t here.
But honestly, I would not be surprised if over 90% of these people commenting here would not care (maybe sigh in relief) when she does drop dead. And that’s the sad part about it.
Justine and sm255 I am thinking the same as you too. I’m glad to know there’s still some empathy towards others in this world.
Lindsay might have done a lot of bad things, but people talk about her like she is this serial killer. Many of her mistakes are due to her drug abuse, I am sure if she had never used them she’d be a totally different person.
I don’t think she beleives any of what she says. The senior cracken has instilled in her the importance of PR BS that concentrates on saying what you know people want to hear to achieve what you want. It has nothing to do with truth or honesty, just strategy.
I dont know why anyone would waste their time interviewing her or even reading/watching her interviews.
You could pull out tons of the same BS lines from the web from past interviews where she spews the same BS over and over only to have another one of her unfortunate incidents not long after. I wish I had the time to google all the times she has said the same things over and over.
I have no desire to see this girl again. There are so many far more talented and attractive actresses out there. Hollywood would certainly not suffer if she disappeared forever.
“I just want to work”
“It’ll take time to earn back my credibility”
“I’ve learned a lot from certain experiences”
“I’m a different person now”
“I trust my Mom”
There’s a drinking game here somewhere…
Her face! Why is her face like that? It’s more than the lips, it’s her whole face. I just watched the interview with her from ’06 that Today has up on their site. Damn, she was so pretty then. Hungover looking and sniffing a lot, but pretty. I will say that she does sound better and more sober in this current interview than in the one from ’06. Hopefully she means what she’s saying now and will keep herself on the right path. And hopefully she will STOP with whatever she is injecting into her cheeks and lips and get rid of that awful blonde hair.
It’s called coke bloat.
bless her heart.
She looks like Phoebe from Friends.
No she doesn’t. Lisa a.k.a. Phoebe is much prettier, and isn’t a cracked out mess unlike the cracken. She may of disappeared after Friends, but that is what I like about her, she doesn’t feel the need to stick her face in the news and be a drugged out, drunken party crashing mess all the time. She’s just living quietly off the royalties from Friends. And I say good for her.
Right! It’s wrong to even compare the two. Lisa Kudrow has a degree in Biology. She’s multi-lingual, bookish, and actually is a homebody. She lived her life first and kind of stumbled into acting. She has the sense to know acting isn’t the be all and end all of existence.
Lindsay would never go away from the spotlight to accomplish a tenth of what Lisa has. She loves being papped too much
Lisa Kudrow’s “Web Therapy” was just picked up for a second season on Showtime. She’s the creator, writer, & star. She’s smart, classy, funny, and self-deprecating… not to mention very pretty.
She’s got a popular web series that I think was re-fitted for tv. I haven’t seen the television version but the original version of WebTherapy revels unabashedly in its mean-spiritedness and is good for a laugh in the ‘Whoa…*giggle*’ vein.
Nope,Phoebe NEVER looked that bad.
IKR? Lisa Kudrow is rather pretty. She also comes off as a really nice person, she’s my fave out of the friends crew.
She’s actually got a real face, as you can tell by the extended closeups on her in the newer show–well, beyond the requisite ‘just breaking into Hollywood rhinoplasty’ she had some decades ago. At any rate, I believe she’s the oldest member of the cast, so take notes, Cox. Take detailed notes.
I am pretty sure that Lohan winning an Oscar is the first sign of the apocalypse.
Good One Indra!!! Made me laugh out loud even though I have a migraine!!!
And the earth shall split open and pour forth vile noises and evil of all kinds. The first sign of the apocalypse, The Cracken will emerge and spew lies and crack shenanigan dangers throughout the land, delivering johns the world over with disease and WOE.
🙂
play her interview questions from the last few times. she always says the same thing, i’ve grown up. i made mistakes blah blah. nothing new. she is delusional.
I can’t stand her but she’s talented, even Meryl said so when they worked together.
Who cares what Streep SAID? We bear witness to Lohan’s dangerous behaviour and utter disregard for other people — OH, but she’s TALENTED?
Give me a break!
A lot of us regular people are talented, hard-working, kind…we are still required to abide by laws and are duly punished when we don’t.
Meryl is a classy lady who will not kick a cracken POS when she’s down. Therefore she would never have said ‘Crackie sucks as an actress’. She was put in a very untenable position with such a question, and she handled it the best, and really the only, way she could – she gave a polite white lie. Same goes for Jane Fonda. They are old school, from the time when being a star in Holywood meant something, and demanded certain traits and behaviors to maintain that position, like being gracious and kind to any and all delusional little twats around you.
What they think in private is a completely different story. And the fact that they have some scruples over exposing her true being is what Crackie counts on, and uses as a free ride and free publicity to pump up her own image again. They have too much class to even bother correcting that delusional crackhead.
I agree with you, polk8dot! It’s very classy of Meryl to give a polished PR response. Love Jane Fonda 🙂
My exasperated reaction has more to do with not wanting to hear excuses for this deluded drunk’s behaviour anymore.
THIS
This was said in 2006, SIX FVCKIN YEARS AGO! Meryl won’t disparage this twit in public and again, was said a LONG ago.
I don’t know, I kind of thought she was sincere. The proof will be, as she said herself, in her actions not in what she says. So we’ll see. But what I saw here was a woman who has a lot of baggage, clearly was not prepared by her parents to deal with life in a healthy manner, and who seems to at least be recognizing now that there are serious consequences for her actions. She seems to sincerely want a better life.
And I didn’t get the impression she was trying to convince us she’s sober. Or blame her problems on others.
I feel sad for her. No matter how messed up her behavior has been, she seems to just be a very hurt, very sad person at her core. I’m not 100% sympathetic, because she is an adult now and has to take responsibility, but it looks like she is doing that. She seemed composed, humble, and well-spoken here.
She sounds composed and humble because everything she says IS composed. That is, it was rehearsed and crafted with many bullet points in mind. It’s the exact same interviews she’s given two years ago. The only genuine moment was when Lauer compared her to Whitney’s death and Lindsay looked shocked for a split second. She wasn’t prepared to get a question like that.
Addicts become great liars. They ask for a place to stay while they get clean and while they sleep over they go through your valuables so they can score more substances. It’s natural to want to help someone when they’re like that. And our instincts and love say to give an addict another chance. But addiction is a sickness that throws normal rules and logic out the window. Period.
I’m reminded of Jessie’s parents from Breaking Bad. They’ve loved their addict son for years and tried to support him, and every time they get used and proven wrong. They’re such victims of manipulation that they never realize their “star” overachiever A+ gradeschool son is using.
For the Breaking Bad reference and telling of the story of my life (little sister was THAT addict before ODing recently) a standing ovation for you. Unless you have been one our have been close to an addict for years you cannot judge one by face value. The sweetest girl can be a cold, manipulative and inventive liar!
@ “…”
I’m so sorry for your loss. I think the most tragic part of the lies is that some of them are true at the time. Until the withdrawal kicks in. For many people the withdrawl is so much stronger than the person themselves.
I don’t even think we’re seeing Lindsay in this interview, because her eyes are so dead and glassy. She may not even have come down at the time of taping. Its her addiction talking.
I hope that her life is turning around. I too thought she sounded humble and self-aware. She’s not denying that she was a wreck and living screwed up. It was also thoughtful of her to thank the workers at the morgue and Judge Seymour.
Pardon me: ‘Judge Sautner’ is the name I was thinking of. Stephanie Seymour would only be a criminal court judge in some kind of joke/nightmare parallel universe.
The true nature of addiction is pain.
I wish her the best. I hope she has or eventually is able to get supportive people around her who care only for her well-being, not whether she makes money or can sell stuff.
I feel like her mom is a dangerous influence on her. Stage moms…
Matt: I don’t want to say you’re old.
SHE IS OLD!!!!
Kaiser, don’t forget to add the Gotti movie to the list of chickens she counted before they hatched…
This is the second time I’ve heard her talk about getting back to work and it’s always about ‘being on set’, ‘going to premieres’, etc. She has no interest in the actual process of acting, only fame and its dividends.
When she was on UGLY BETTY she hated it because TV has much longer hours than movies and you can’t just sit in your trailer all day doing blow.
Her halcyon days are behind her but she’s never going to stop trying to recreate them or believing she can get it all back.
I am more disappointed with Matt. We knew what she was going to say, but you’re right about the follow-up questions- there weren’t any. I realize that this interview is a journalistic step-down for him, but a ratings bonanza. You would think he would have the attitude would be, ‘can’t get any worse, i’m gonna ask the hard questions.’ but no.
By the way- did he do the interview with Britney after she was driving with baby on her lap (“we’re country, y’all!”)? That sucked too.
For anyone expecting honesty in these interveiws, it will NEVER happen. Shame on you, Matt.
Her face is terrifying.
Forget an Oscar, she’ll be lucky to live to 30.
@lucy2 no kidding! You forget what a mess she’s made of her face. I did, at least until Today played that old clip. Wow!
Lucy 2, I think it’s a given that she will die soon. I hate to say it, but there’s only so much the human body can endure.
If she is in denial and refuses help, and if her so called friends and family won’t help, we can only hope she’ll die like Whitney Houston.
Hear me out! Whitney died in relative privacy, alone. Painlessly. Peacefully. I doubt she even knows she’s dead. Not in a Sixth Sense kinda way, just that there’s no presence of mind. Kinda like: lose consciousness, sleep, dead. There are worse things.
Agreed. Hopefully she’ll find someone good to help her, if not I don’t give her more than 6 months. 🙁
Though is a paranormal way of thinking, not knowing one ‘s dead is the worst that can happen to someone…
She’s starting to look like the bloated-ish Vendetta mask guy!
I hate when people say she’s talented… Any girl could have done what she did in “mean girls” or “herbie” (Oscar winning movies right thurr bahahahah) She’s very “in your face” and delusional and it’s like a freak show to watch…. Which is why we do… Shes a cockroach like Courtney Love.. Too narcisstic to actually die. I enjoy watching the train wreck… Makes my commute more entertaining 😉
Another unfair comparison — Courtney Love CAN ACT!!! Check out Basquiat, or The People Vs. Larry Flynt, or Man on the Moon.
I am shocked at how “good” she looked in the interview clip that showed her in court (the stills in the first clip.) Was that even a year ago?? She has really, really messed up her face. She either needs to stop ‘filling’ it or get whatever she had implanted, removed. Terrible. Nearly all of the angularity that used to be there is gone. If I just saw a pic of her face I would think she has gained a lot of weight. Just a very, very bad look.
Her idiot interview doesn’t even deserve comment.
If she had Juviderm or Restylane (sp?) it could well wear off in a couple years and go back to “normal.”
BUT if she had fat transfers (gaining in popularity) it could be MUCH more permanent and removing it would be an uneven and unreliable disaster.
Ew, that face.
People don’t seem to get that an undefined chubby face is every bit as aging as an overly gaunt one, maybe even more so. A youthful face is smooth but has some angularity and sharpness to it also. This filler and botox mess has taken her from looking about 40 to about 65.
I know she is a has-been, but what I don’t get is why she still gets attention? Why is Lauer even bothering to interview her? Is it because if she ODs, he can say, This was her last interview?
That’s precisely what NBC is doing. Both Today and SNL. If and when Lohan dies they’ll blast clips and specials. It will be entertainment of the most morbid kind.
I’ve lost so much respect for Matt Lauer
Good lord would someone just donate this twit an old oscar that they have lying around so she will shut it.
He## give her a Grammy, Emmy, Tony, Peoples Choice, Golden Globe, or she can have my old track and field ribbon for second place in the long jump. Just give her an award so she will shut up about it.
Did anyone else notice that Lohan’s veneers have affected her ability to speak? There were a couple of times in the interview where her teeth seemed to get in the way.
Also, as part of her probation, Lohan has to see a therapist several times per month. It doesn’t seem to be doing her any good. She’s just repeating what she thinks we all need to hear.
Don’t forget to tape Fallon tonight or technically tomorrow morning, early a.m. I know, it will be the same crack lies as always but good for a few grins. Make sure your little bottoms in ‘chat’ on Satuday for SNL. The ‘east coasters’ are gonna tell the rest of us whats happening, while its happening. Can you make it?
Good Morning to all my fellow ‘Crack Cliquers’. If it was ever time for a cracktini, after that bunch of crack lies, THIS IS IT! *Cheers, down the hatch*
First cracktini of the day! Thanks Madisyn, *cheers!*
Maybe she does believe what she is saying, but is uncapable of doing it, long term at least.
As someone who’s had many struggles in her life, though not due to addiction, there were times when I was sure I was going to change and promise myself things only to fall back and repeat my mistakes. Maybe right now she is being honest, but she might not be strong enough to make what she is saying a reality.
If the SNL show is anything like the promos I watched then the show is going to SUCK!
But, I’m sure this ratings will be up there and not because everybody wants to see the “well-rounded thespian” they’ll be watchin’ for a trainwreck.
Yes – the promos were really boring. The “jokes” fell flat. The show will most likely suck. And you know what else? My evil twin is hoping the ratings bomb so they never invite her back… bwahahahahah
It’s showbiz cross promotion at it’s very best, which is why she agreed to the interview, it was set up to make her look as good as… possible with what they have to work with. Also, Steep said after working on Altman’s Home Prairie Companion, “Lindsay knows her craft”. Period. That’s not a ringing endorsement and one of the end scenes of the movie where Lindsay character comes in as an executive assistant, Streep can barely control herself having to work with someone so out of her element as far as ability, you can see it so plainly. Lohan’s a lost soul, who wants fame and money but has no clue how to do anything but be a celebutard. Very telling interview, but unintentional on her part. I want to go to premieres, “I want to dress up in borrowed dresses and snatch more free joorey and party my ass off!” I wonder how long she’s going to be on the rails this time before she implodes again. She’s just like her father, living in their own worlds.
You sound good and you LOOK good. How did he not start laughing after saying that? I guess that’s why he makes the big bucks. I think he must have bit the inside of his cheek bloody to get through that farce.
didn’t even bother to read the article… here for the hilarious entry title… roflol
Haven’t read the comments yet (but will definitely, as they are highly entertaining), but I have literally been where she is, and although it’s hard, I feel a twinge of pity for her.
Four years ago, I was given six months to live by multiple doctors because of my drinking. This was at the age of 24. I was drinking well over a liter of straight vodka per day, had a fatty liver, my kidney was having problems, pre-diabetic, you name it, I had it. My body was failing as spectacularly as hers. I was so bloated, could barely walk, etc…. I was so miserable, did not want to die, knew I was going to die, and yet kept drastically hoping some circumstance would change and my life would work out. Of course, that never happens, and I needed to change myself.
Anywhodle, nothing is going to change for her. The only thing that made me stop killing myself was deciding that i did not want to kill myself anymore. My family cut me off, I was living in a crack house in the ghettos of DC, and did not have 1.50 to get on the bus to go to my court ordered meeting. That was the day I had enough. There was not one thing I could “hang my hat on.” Nothing. As long as she has something working in her life (even an SNL appearance), she’s going to keep doing the same ol’, same ol’.
She’s never ever going to get there, unless she goes broke, Guaranteed. You have to hit a point where you finally stop living in your head of lies and see the truth. She has people purposely hiding the truth of her addiction from her, so she’s doomed.
Sorry to hear about your difficult road to sobriety. I agree with you that it’s going to be the same old same old with her. She’s not going to see 26 at this rate. What a shame.
I second what Divax said.
And its so true that Lindsay will never get clean until she stops getting parcels of work, mag covers, interviews, mini projects. I hear her legging line brings in some reliable income, too. The only people she pays are her dealers, and as long as she has money for that everything is find in her book.
Its just gonna be more of the same until she physically can’t go on.
I think LL’s other massive problem is her family. She will keep giving them money and taking them to events. They will keep feeding her delusions and providing emotional support for the wrong things.
Glad you took the road to sobriety. I have a relative who after a series of losses became a raging alcoholic for years. I would see her buying bottles in the store in the AM, couldn’t make a coherent sentence, bloated beyond belief. She tried to go cold turkey and almost died, winding up in ICU. I saw her last weekend and couldn’t believe it. Lost about 50 pounds, looks like a whole new person. I think her brain is permanently pickled, but So much better.
Lohan is still loving the drugs and booze, her face tells all.
@britobsesses, good for you! Congratulations! I want to comment on what you said about Lindsay still having “things to hold onto,” which means she still is on the alky-drug train. You are absolutely right. She’s NEVER hit a bottom, yet.
I think that’s why many of us pay attention to Lindsay stories. We’ve NEVER SEEN her hit a bottom, yet. That is still to come. Mark my (and your) words.
Reading what you said about yourself moved me, because I’m in recovery and had to hit a BAD bottom before I could “ascend.” Nothing like the voice of experience, huh? We know.
In which part of the interview does Lauer ask her about Whitney Houston? I somehow missed it with all of my laughing and eye rolling.
They CUT it from this PRETAPED MONSTROSITY, I mean interview. Also, they cut the Whitney Houston question. Both her answers were so incredibly bad, Honig took his scissors with him to the editing bay.
Did you see my reply to your last comment?
I’ll be there on Sat. night.
Good! Should be a lot of fun on Saturday. See ya for sure then.
Belle, Boo, Lady D, HannahF get your little bottoms in ‘chat’ on Saturday night too! Cracktinis will be iced and we’ll be chillin. As this is a ‘special’ occasion, Belle bring the melon balls, please!
For those that are lost and have no idea what I’m going on about, read comment 40.
Ugh, the only explanation I can fathom that NBC is giving her this press and letting her on SNL, is that they are going to ambush her with a live intervention. Honestly, that is that girls best chance. A skit that is an intervention, turns into a real intervention. She can’t run, can’t say its a rumor it happened because all of America saw it, fill the audience seats with people she knows.
That’s a GREAT theory. I hope it happens. It would be the best thing for her, plus it would make for some fabulous reality TV….
They already did that once. Tina Fey & Lorne Michaels and the lot on SNL staged an intervention at an “after party” the last time she was on the show, I believe.
Way to toss those marshmallow questions at the Cracken, Matt.
And to be fair, she did say “Hopefully COMING from the Oscars.”
In Blohanese, that could mean anything from crashing the Oscars to crashing Oscar parties to blowing the Oscar planner/voting bodies for tickets, so…
What would be the point in grilling the cracken? Matt Lauer would just get chewed out by her out and she’d walk on the interview. Any human being with half a brain will see that she’s a crack liar. The best thing Matt Lauer did was allow the interview to speak for itself. The best thing is, unlike us gossip junkies who have been following her, no one cares about her. Anyone wanna bet that SNL with her in it will bomb?
Once the make-up crew gets a look at that face, it’ll be cost-prohibitive for her to be cast as Dame Elizabeth.
Project’ll go bankrupt before it ever gets off the ground.
If there is any justice in the world, if there is a god in the heavens above, then cracken will not be playing that beautiful, talented and wonderful Elizabeth Taylor.
But then again, I am an atheist. 🙂
Well isn’t she just a fat faced little thing these days? Perhaps she plumped it up to help hide her prominent double chin?
Maybe they should just give her an Oscar… for most creative, consecutive, cracked-out lies ever told in a single lifetime.
Matt Lauer actually looked smug and kinda pompous, like he knew exactly what she was doing (saying what she thinks the audience wants to hear, pandering, mewling, pleading for some kind of forgiveness or acceptance), and he was happy to let her record for posterity another interview which will be used as reference material when she screws up again. I don’t think he did a good or bad job, he simply gave her a platform to discuss herself. She said exactly what I would have thought she would say. There were no surprises, yet nothing that she said made me dislike her more or less. Actually, I feel real pity for her. I think she is very sad, she feels very sorry for herself that she cannot participate in the industry in the way she wants. She is absolutely responsible for her own demise and current sorry state of affairs, but that doesn’t mean that her sadness is not real. Acting and show business is all she knows. Being looked after and being supplanted to is how she grew up. Imagine how difficult it is for her to watch from the outside, with her nose pressed against the glass, and being laughed at no less.
I only see sadness, wanting, hopelessness and desperation. She is so obviously an addict, and one addicted to fame as much as she’s addicted to drugs, to the highs of being worshiped and idolized, and she will die trying to maintain that high. Her esteem is directly tied to her reputation in the business. Give her a little acceptance, a little recognition and she gets the buzz, the euphoria. Take it away and she crashes. How do you honestly cure someone of that?
I got the same feeling, that Matt could completely see right through all her BS. He looked smug and pompous to me, too. I actually expected him to bust out laughing at a couple of her answers (can’t remember which ones). However, I still feel this interview was a complete and total waste of valuable airtime.
Theresa – excellent comment, you nailed it. I agree with you.
Um, Theresa? That comment you just made is so full of wisdom, insight, love and kindness.
So many people come on the LL posts and carry on about how much they hate her, she’s a waste of space yada yada, all the while forgetting that she’s a human being with a plethora of mental illnesses and dysfunctional behaviours and a product of unfortunate parenting.
Thanks so much for being an awesome human being : )
Gosh I hate her.
What does Dibba mean?
I am not one to defend a cracken BUT she did say she hoped to be COMING BACK from the Oscars in 5 years from now, more implying getting an invite to the Oscars and actually be part of the A-List crowd… She didn’t say that she thinks she is gonna win an Oscar in 5 years.. I am just putting it out there because it is soooo easy to misinterpret and twist words… I dont even think she’s thinking about winning anymore, just be on the good side of the top people in the industry again
“You sound good and you look good”, seriously, how was he able to say that with a straight face?
It’s easy when you make the kind of money he makes…..but I am so disappointed in him and his stupid non confrontational questions.
25 going on 40. Yikes. Her face makes me sad.
I don’t see too many 40 year olds who look this bad. Not unless they are truck stop hookers – oh, wait.
*like*
Her actions taken to change only include being more careful with whom she surrounds herself ? Nothing like “I’ve got to be held accountable”. I’ve got to learn to obey the law, the judges orders.” ? She just had bad friends, poor darling.
omg her voice is just gone, all she cares about is getting AN OSCAR AN OSCAR LOOK AT ME IM THE BEST!!! This is the same BS lines you have been saying since 2008.
Bitch, please, how many actors can’t even get a commerical and have theatre degrees from Yale.
You had the golden ticket and you shit on it. All you want is the benefit and not the work. Hope SNL is a train wreck.
If she’s serious about her sobriety she wouldn’t be doing the interviews, SNL, movies…If she really is taking her sobriety serious her career wouldn’t be the focus. She’s obsessed with celebrity and comeback. Putting her celebrity before her health and life is dangerous and she’s going to crash and burn. She’s needs to take a long, uneventful, not in fornt of any camera, non-tabloid, clean-up break and try to do a Robert Downey, Jr. Its the only way she’s going to pull out of her mess. Shame on Lorne Michaels for giving her the SNL stint.
I agree with your assessment and others. She looks like a 10 cent hooker. Her face is almost unrecognizable.
She needs to disappear, clean up, good diet and exercise however she doesn’t want to do the work. She just wants the acclaim and I can almost guarantee when she does not receive it, she’ll crash and burn all over again.
I don’t think this kid even knows what sobriety truly is and whoever let go on the air looking like should be ashamed. If she wants to go the tragic route, she has already paved her way.
She’s a narcissistic person who thinks that staying the in public, positive or negative, is good for her. She wants to be documented.
Also, good call above to the commenter who said Lauer was basically laughing behind her back. He knows this interview will be gold when things go down as far as the go. Lindsay needs to hit a rock bottom with no net. A change of hair color isn’t going to do it.
There are many other young, talented actresses who do not have these issues and look the way she does. Why would anyone really even bother to try and hire her? Insurance, sober coach, etc., when you can have someone who has already proven they walk a decent line and are a good, proven actress.
Lindsay doesn’t have any bones to stand behind anymore.
I’m done with my rant.
Oh as to the Whitney question, she could’ve said it’s tragic and I’m sorry for the family instead of fumbling.
she looks weird. Her cheeks look unaturally swollen, the whole face is bloated and her lips inflated. The severe hairstyle doesn’t help. And her haircolor is awful. What has she done to herself ??
I commented earlier that she won’t make it to 26, but in hindsight, knowing the Cracken – persistent to the end – she might just scrape through to try to make the 27 Club – Winehouse, Cobain, Hendrix, Joplin, Jim Morrison, et al.
Sure, these guys all died of drugs, but they were truly talented in life, and didn’t squander it like this the once-talented washed-up delusional crack-whore has done.
I’m sure in her mind (what mind?) she would consider herself to be a viable candidate for this elite establishment…….
It’s going to take a long ass time before SHE gets an Oscar. She’s too idealistic. Take it slow, Lindsay, geez.
Her face would look okay . . . if you didn’t know what she looked like before.
I just don’t understand people in their 20’s getting Botox and injections. It completely changes their face. At the rate Hollywood is going, pretty soon there are only going to be three or four “looks” between actresses. They are going to all be so plasticed up that they look the same.
Can LL even *get* a role anymore in a film? Any film?
I would think at this point she would be completely uninsurable.
Robert Downey came back, but didn’t an actor friend put up a bond for him to be in a movie? Also, even at his worst, he seemed to be more personable and less full of himself than LL at her best. She seems like a complete narcissist.
I would also like to point out that bulimia causes hair loss, tooth erosion and a swollen face. Perhaps she has a problem there as well as the drug addiction
dear me.
either she’s really honest this time, or she’s a talented actress (to remember so many lines).
*SIGH* I wish she could get it together. I want her to get it together. She sounds like a 15 year old and she looks like she’s about 40. Oh dear.
Maybe this time it’ll take. Maybe she’ll get back on track.
Her career won’t take off because she messed up her face. She was on Jimmy Fallon tonight and was delightful. And her face okay, but when she was laughing her fake cheeks were like balls. Who wants a 25-year-old actress who looks fake, not fresh.
Did she even take a shower before this interview? Yikes!
On a side note, Matt Lauer is total douche.
She looks 26 going on 50…
