Lindsay Lohan will do a ‘Liz & Dick’ promo interview with Barbara Walters

Ugh, time for more Lindsay Lohan crap. As we discussed yesterday, Lindsay is back in LA after her whirlwind crack-extravaganza in New York, and LL is even back to hanging out at the Chateau Marmont, because that’s never a recipe for full-on disaster. People Mag even has a nice little story about Lindsay’s activities at the Marmont on Thursday – she showed up Thursday night with some friends around 10 p.m., and a source says, “Lindsay was very talkative and led much of the conversation. The group shared hot tea and late night salads. Lindsay definitely seemed at ease and in high spirits as they enjoyed a low-key night.” Late-night salads? Is that some kind of crack code? People Mag’s source says she took a “tense” call at one point, then rejoined her friends. Blah. And you know what we have to look forward to now? Lindsay’s promotional tour in support of Liz & Dick. For real. The Lifetime movie comes out in late November, and Crackie is trying to wring as much publicity out of it as she can. Which leads me to this:

Lindsay Lohan will continue her chatty streak (following her appearance on TMZ Live this week) and will sit down for a one-on-one interview with the legendary Barbara Walters … TMZ has learned. Sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ she has been close to Walters for years and that Barbara reached out to her about doing an interview when it was announced she’d playing Liz Taylor in the upcoming “Liz & Dick” biopic.

We’re told LiLo has been hesitant about sit-down interviews because she fears being asked questions she’s not prepared for. But our sources say Lindsay trusts Barbara not to take things too far. According to our sources, Lindsay and Barbara will sit down sometime in the next few weeks. We’re told the interview will focus on the parallels between the lives of Lindsay and Liz Taylor — things like child stardom, a rough childhood, living life in the public, and also dealing with addiction.

Our sources say the plan is for the interview to air next month to coincide with the premiere of “Liz & Dick.”

I don’t really trust Barbara Walters at this point. Maybe I never did. But I doubt the interview will be anything other than a hot mess of crack-denials, crack-squawking and crack-tears, and I doubt Barbara will call her out on any of her BS. As for the “comparisons” to Elizabeth Taylor – STFU.

Meanwhile, there’s even more crack drama with Lindsay’s parents. I know, shocking. TMZ reports that Dina is “pressuring” Lindsay to take out a restraining order/protection order against Michael Lohan, which would mean that Michael couldn’t even email, text or call Lindsay without being in violation. TMZ’s sources say that Lindsay isn’t convinced by Dina, and thinks that the protection order is “too extreme”. Michael told TMZ, “I suppose Dina got wind that I want the court and Child Protective Services to investigate her!” He also contacted Page Six and had a lot to say too:

Lindsay Lohan’s father, Michael, is “very upset” with the crowd his daughter has been hanging with in New York, and insists there “will be changes.”

After Lohan finished shooting Bret Easton Ellis’ movie “The Canyons” in LA, she’d been in a series of Big Apple disasters, from a W Hotel dust-up with a Congressional aide to an alleged fight with mother Dina after partying till the wee hours in Chelsea.

Michael says it’s the crowd surrounding Lindsay in New York that’s the bad influence, and he wants her to get back to focusing on her career.

“I am very upset with the crowd around Lindsay,” he told Page Six in an e-mail, targeting one pal in particular. He also warned Lindsay’s pals, “My advice to ALL the negative influences in Lindsay and my other children’s lives is, this time, you have crossed the line and bitten off a lot more than you can chew! My family will not be subject to your misguided morals and ways!”

Michael also vowed that things will change in his daughter’s life. “There WILL BE changes!! Just watch,” he wrote.

[From Page Six]

How many times are they going to blame the people around Lindsay? What is she, 26 years old? And she’s been acting like a crackhead for at least eight years now. At some point, doesn’t everyone have to acknowledge that Lindsay has problems because of WHO and WHAT she is, as opposed to the people around her? That being said, Lindsay should completely cut off her gang of crack-sycophants, including both of her parents. It won’t change who she is, but it would probably just be cheaper.

PS… Her wonky fake tan makes her look like she has jaundice.

    I may need to watch this interview just to see how much Cracken twitches and shifts in her seat.

    • Amelia says:

      Can you imagine KScrew and the Cracken being interviewed side by side?
      Together they could probably send a small tremor through the earth.
      Now, when is the train wreck formally known as Liz and Dick actually airing? Because as much as I’m enjoying speculating over how cracktastic it will be, I’m in the mood for a good laugh.

  2. Cherry says:

    The ‘hot tea and late night salads’ got me wondering, too. Is that a thing now? Eating lettuce and drinking hot (mind you, not warm, not cold) tea at midnight? Maybe they’re just referring to ‘herbal refreshments’ in general?

  3. lori says:

    Barbara Walters is one ambitious old lady ~ no I would not trust her, except to go for a ratings grab. It worked for Dr Phil and she’s probably pretty jealous of that.
    I have nothing useful to say about the cracken.

  4. Canda says:

    As if anyone actually wants to listen to what the Cracken has to say.

    • lower-case deb says:

      well, some people have bi-monthly drinking games to go to. she’s practically god-sent.

  5. Jackie O says:

    barbara walters should have retired 20 years ago.

    she is so desperate to stay relevant that she will agree to any terms just to get an interview.

    by staying around too long, walters has really tarnished her image.

    • brin says:

      +1. A has been interviewing a has been.

    • Diane says:

      BaaBaa never asks the hard hitting questions. I don’t expect this interview to be anything but fluff.

      • emmieapricot says:

        Fluff and LIES! What’s the point of even interviewing someone like Lindsay? Any questions with substance will be answered with denials and more cover-ups.

    • RN says:

      I agree. I used to really respect her skills 25 years ago. Now, not so much. I was disgusted when I read about this upcoming interview. There’s no reason for BW to be conducting it, IMO.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      She’s pulling an Oprah (the Kartrashians) or a Dr. Phil (WO) in an attempt to stay relevant.

      It’s transparent, and quite frankly, pathetic.

  6. lower-case deb says:

    i think you’ll find that these sources are just ‘too polite’ (gotta keep a virtual distance from the rags and misc tabs).

    and we all know what “late night tossing of the salads” mean. those bar tabs don’t pay for themselves, you know.

  7. Shelly says:

    Her parents are ridiculous. It’s always the people around her and their fault she does bad things. Did her father ever consider that at this point it’s probably Lindsay who is the bad influence on those around her? And she attracts negative energy because that’s what she puts out into the world. If she really wanted her life to be better she’d start making better choices and picking better friends, but she doesn’t, so the state of her life is entirely her own fault.

  8. Dorothy says:

    I’m really surprised that Barbara Walters would want a “Jerry Springer” type interviewee such as Lohan. I guess Ms. Walters career has hit the skids.

    • lower-case deb says:

      i think that Ms Walters is currently doing some high-impact training right now.

      “According to our sources, Lindsay and Barbara will sit down sometime in the next few weeks.”

      i.e. the interview will happen once Ms Walters is sufficiently able control of her gag reflexes, as well as mastering smile-on-cue and no-grimace-on-demand.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Like I said above, she’s pulling an Oprah or a Dr. Phil in an attempt to stay relevant.

  9. lulu says:

    I have resigned myself to the fact that Hohan is indeed going to make a big comeback and start getting real movie roles (not TV) and she will never ever ever go away and we will be subjected to her “better than everyone privileged it’s all about me and I can do whatever I want because I’m special” attitude until hell freezes over.

    • NeNe says:

      Geez, I hope not!! Hopefully, not, but if that should happen, it’s true that the world is definitely coming to an end!!!

    • littlestar says:

      I disagree. She missed her opportunity for the comeback train several years ago. I believe Hollywood sees her as nothing but a fool and a joke. Watching the trailer for Liz & Dick, it looks like Lohan put absolutely NO effort into it. It looked like she can’t even act anymore – what director/producer is going to want someone like that in their movies? Especially when there are a ton of Lohan contemporaries out there who don’t have the drug and personal problems that Lindsay has – Keira Knightley, Emma Stone, etc… Plus, who would want to take the risk of insuring her?

    • lucy2 says:

      I don’t see it either. No one who does respectable, professional films will want her – she’s complete uninsurable, and unreliable. The idiot projects that have continued to hire her have all had problems. She may still do the occasional Lifetime or low budget crap, but she’s never going to get back in the real game as a legitimate star.

      • RN says:

        You said exactly what I was going to say. It’s just too expensive to have her on set and why would anyone shell out the money when there are younger, fresher, more talented actresses out there?

    • Isa says:

      The projects she has taken on so far have been low-prestige moneygrabs. If she were still the A/B-list actress she once was, she would never consider appearing in them. I don’t think they will bolster her resume, and since everyone knows her shenanigans on those sets, they don’t help to prove that she is now prepared to be professional either. She only gets hired for stuff that can only benefit from her notoriety now, because they had no chance of gaining any critical acclaim anyway. With Lindsay on board, they have free publicity and maybe a bigger audience because people want to see just how much of a mess she is now.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Yeah, I’m sorry, but when the producers of Scary Movie 5 (Scary freaking Movie 5!!!) are having problems with getting her Cracken ass to show up for a CAMEO making fun of HERSELF because she didn’t like making fun of herself and refused to show for any of the production/script meetings, I’d say she’s pretty much done. (Can you IMAGINE having to threaten someone with a lawsuit and send a PRIVATE PLANE to get them to show up to actually DO THEIR JOB? And then that person stays in a hotel and REFUSES TO PAY? AGAIN!)

      She’ll be relegated to porn and Vegas appearances, a la Carmen Electra et al.

    • crazycatlady says:

      Fear not. You will be wrong. Because a) she was a decent CHILD actress (in a couple of movies), an OK TEEN actress (in a couple of cheesy teen movies), but the truth is she CANNOT ACT. She is TERRIBLE. Did you not see her on SNL? She can’t even read cue cards with bawdy one-liners convincingly.

      No, she will continue to be famous by way of the paparazzi indefinitely. See how we’re rid of Paris Hilton now?

  10. Cathy says:

    The crackenmonster has no one to blame for her problems but herself. She’s a grown cracken. She knows where the door is. The drama is the only thing that keeps her relevent. Most of it’s funny, but some of it is sad.

  11. marie says:

    I went to see SInister this weekend, and the stinkin promo for this flaming pile o’ poo was one of the trailers. When I heard Grant Bowler say she IS Elizabeth Taylor reincarnated, well I threw up in my mouth a bit.

    hot tea and late night salads = vodka and nose candy..

  12. Jennika says:

    “I don’t drink or do drugs”
    “I like to stay at home and read”
    “I’ve changed”
    “I’m dedicated to my craft”
    *snort snort*
    “I see myself in Liz because we are the muses of pure talent”
    “I’ll be at the Oscars in 5 years”
    “blah blah blah”

    Mean Girls and Hot Tub Time Machine were on last nigh, I bet Lindsay has voodoo dolls of Amanda Seyfied, Rachel McAdams and Lizzie Caplan

  13. Eleonor says:

    Drugs are helluva bad. She is the postergirl for this advice: she is 26 looking 45.

  14. Mia 4S says:

    Let me guess; She is over partying and looking forward to getting back to work? Her personal life really isn’t that interesting and if people didn’t pay attention to it she would get more roles? She’s a home body? She’s learned her lesson? She has a lot in common with Liz (evil tabloids!)? She hopefully will be coming from the Oscars in a few years?

    There I just saved everyone an hour…you’re welcome.

    • NeNe says:

      Thank you!

      That is exactly what is going to come out of her mouth. Nothing but PURE BS!!!

    • Boo says:

      You forgot, “I take responsibility for the missteps I have made” and maybe something about being “a stronger person.” She will also use the general expression, “I’m working very hard to _________________.” The phrase “on set” will come up at least three times. Also, she will use the words, “It’s so scary” or “I get so scared” at least once, probably substantially more than once.

  15. SallyJay says:

    Umm, her face and neck and legs are different shades of day-glo orange. Doesn’t she have a stylist? Wait, stupid question, doesn’t she have a mirror?? I don’t understand!

    • A-Rod says:

      She has a mirror! She uses it to serve up blow. She doesn’t have time to blend her spray tan and brush her hair. Those lines ain’t gonna snort themselves!

  16. NeNe says:

    I definitely will not be watching. I do not care to see how she is going to try to explain how she and Liz Taylor are the same, blah, blah, blah!!!! I do not think that my stomach could take that kind of torture.

  17. Boo says:

    “Tea and late night salads” just cracks (heh) me up to no end. Who is she supposed to be in this scenario, Camilla Parker Bowles?

  18. Quinn says:

    Her face, chest and legs are ALL different colors…FAIL. As per usual.

  19. TheOneAndOnlyOnly says:

    Thank you MIA 4s does anyone in the media or lalaland have any integrity? I’m sorry these are the same institutions that savage Sarah Palin – she’s no prize and I detest her – but then they not only tolerate but enable narcissistic hos like Lohan for ratings.
    How is a crackhead any better than an imbecile? They are both detestable and both should be shunned and ignored.

  20. Nev says:

    ummmm….jude law picture…YUM!!!!!

  21. G says:

    Why would BW waste her time with this if not to bring down the hammer and get some ratings?

    Blohan is delusional to think that BW is her friend. I’m hard pressed to think of one postive question that Lohan could be asked? I predict she bails on this.

  22. Bess says:

    I agree with Kaiser. Someone needs to tell Michael Lohan that at 26 years old, the Cracken is responsible for her own behavior not the various hangers on in her life.

    Also, who is Michael Lohan threatening with the, “… you have crossed the line and bitten off more than you can chew.”??? If ML is threatening Viki, he will be in for a rude awakening. Viki has too much money to be bothered with someone like Michael Lohan.

    • the original bellaluna says:

      MiLo is a pesky gnat on the ass of life in Viki’s world. His disproportionate ego (gee, wonder where Blohan got hers?) permits him from seeing it.

      • Madisyn says:

        Milo is an IDIOT in the first degree. He ‘pretends’ he actually has a say in who hangs with Blohan. Blaming her NY ‘friends’ is laughable because he can’t do shit about it. He steps foot in NY and Dina gets wind of it, his ass is going to jail. He’s the biggest blowhard I can think of. All talk, no action!

  23. TaylorB says:

    I will watch this interview just to hear the line ‘Tonight we welcome Windsey Wohan’.

  24. Sunny says:

    Please don’t watch this spectacle, as tempting as it is to watch a train wreck. The reason she keeps getting work is no one cares about quality anymore, it’s ratings. She can completely ruin this movie but if people tune in, it will be successful. She’ll keep getting hired, she’ll keep doing awful things, and we’ll keep wondering why she is still finding employment. Don’t watch the interviews, DON’T watch the movie…there will be plenty of free clips to watch without directly contributing to ratings.

    • Lady D says:

      Word Sunny. No way in hell am I watching this disaster. Partly out of respect for the incomparable La Liz, and partly because Sunny’s right. There will be clips galore from this disaster. The comedians are going to have a ball, and Youtube and gossips websites will also have clips. Please do not watch the premiere of this movie, this skank HAS to go away.

      • the original bellaluna says:

        Lady D & Sunny – I will join you in not watching, as I refuse to add to this mess’s “premiere” numbers during November sweeps. Plus, I will most likely be going home for Thanksgiving, and very likely on a plane when this airs.

        And my DVR has better things to record! 😉

  25. ClaireB says:

    Late night salad..if you know what i mean.

  26. the original bellaluna says:

    Questions: Don’t we all “live life in public?” Can these “esteemed publications” please get some proof readers? Or writers with at least a 9th grade education?

  27. the original bellaluna says:

    Others have addressed this, but here I go, off on my tangent:

    MiLo, you egomaniacal dumbass, your daughter is 26. She is an ADULT!! It is not the fault of those around her, it is YOUR fault and WO’s fault for raising her with absolutely NO boundaries or sense of decency or respect for others.

    It is HER fault for being a complete asshole with no regard for anyone other than HERSELF, and conductive herself as such.

    When you raise a little human being with no regard for authority, laws, or another human being, it is YOUR FAULT.

    When said little human being grows into an adult and chooses to continue behaving in that way, it is HER FAULT.

    GOT IT?

    • Madisyn says:

      Blohans ‘friends’ have changed more times than she has fingers and toes, yet its always Blohan who’s getting arrested and in trouble for something. The common denominator in all this is BLOHAN!

      Is it time Belle?

  28. Seen says:

    Regardless of whether or not Dina wants the kids to get a restraining order in their dad .. Re court has to approve it. This is a LEGAL document (not a wish list). The kids will ALL have to prove he is a danger and a threat. The court doesn’t just step in when mommy and daddy want them to. It’s much easier to call your cell phone service provider and ask them to block a number (or 12) associated with a claim of harassment. But Dina’s an idiot, and maybe Lindsay’s attorney has already told her what she’d have to PROVE to get a restraining order. I am continually amazed at how stupid (and by that I mean actually non intelligent) the Lohans are. I don’t know why i am, after all this time, but I guess it just seems like its such a damn no-brainer that EVERYONE should know how to system works — certainly someone so in the system as the lohan family.

  29. Madisyn says:

    “Michael also vowed that things will change in his daughter’s life. “There WILL BE changes!! Just watch,” he wrote.”

    Michael Lohan controls NOTHING in Blohans life. What a MAROON!

  30. Str8Shooter says:

    Oh, this ought to be good!

    ‘Gee, Windsey, how did you ever pwepare for those public dwunken fight scenes?’

    Well, Barbara (crack-twitches), you see, I went method for those scenes…

  31. dcypher1 says:

    I know that michael l. Isnt the best dad or human being on the planet. But out of lls two only parents I think micheal dose really care about his daughter as oppose to dina who dosent care genuinely about ll. She just wants to be herfriend that she goes to parties with.

  32. hillbillyinthecorner says:

    And I suppose that after they had their hot tea and late night salads and play a hand or two of old Maid and Crazy Eights…….
    Same person who wrote the Lady GaGa sleepover shyt wrote this one…..same style and phrases….played board games and watch old movies and ate popcorn and pizza….Yea !!! Right……

    Next week Lindsay will be out spreading cheer and goodness to the homeless and visiting childrens homes and kissing babies….My God they are desperate…!!!!!!!
    Lindsay Lohan is nothing but a huge pile of Shyt stinking up everything…..You can cover it up with pretty paper, spray it with perfume to cover the scent and call it by a million of other names but in the end its still a pile of shyt stinking up the room and the only way to get rid of the smell it to shovel it up and get flush it …Time to get out the shovels and shovel the shyt out of the room…

  33. berkeleybitch31 says:

    I am tempted to watch, but no I shouldn’t. It will just be a bunch of lie spewing by the Cracken about how everyone is out to get her, she doesn’t party and sits home sipping tea reading the classics, blah blah, blah. I wish someone would call out this little s*** oh her F&%*&$-up life.
