Here are some photos of Lindsay Lohan leaving the Playhouse Theatre on Saturday night, following one of her preview performances of Speed-the-Plow. As we discussed last week, her first performance was a mess. Some people claimed that Richard Schiff forgot his lines once or twice as well, but it sounded like Lindsay’s cracked-out forgetfulness was something different altogether. Well, Lindsay heard that people were laughing at her, so she gave an interview to the Daily Mirror. I thought her justifications were pretty funny. She’s basically saying her performance isn’t as bad as it could be, that it could totally be worse because she could just not show up. Yes, Lindsay. Set the bar so low that you trip on it as you’re stumbling around drunk.
She’s come under fire from critics for forgetting her lines and struggling a bit in her West End theatre debut. But Lindsay Lohan wants to set the record straight and tells 3am: “It could’ve been a disaster – but it wasn’t by far.”
Speaking in her dressing room ahead of last night’s performance of Speed-The-Plow, she adds: “I could’ve not shown up. But of course I did, it’s my show.”
LiLo, 28, says she didn’t even bother reading the negative reviews.
“Everyone is always going to be judgmental, no matter what,” she says. “I respect people have an opinion, but I’m doing the best I can and will for the duration. I’m doing this because working makes me feel happy and this is a new venture for me.”
The Mean Girls star also revealed Hollywood legend Al Pacino gave her his blessing.
She tells us: “I was in the Corinthia hotel and he was there. I’m a huge fan and he gave me some really good advice. He told me doing the play is one of the best things I could do as an actor, especially for future roles. He said he was proud of me for doing it. Then, randomly, Scarface was on TV later at home and I watched it. It was really cool.”
She adds: “I was nervous on the first night because I’d never done it before. But everyone has been really great. I love the stage manager…they’ve all been kind, gracious and comforting.”
A super-chilled pre-show playlist also helps her to relax.
“Every night feels more natural and comfortable. I’m not used to a live audience, it’s a much quicker buzz. When you do a movie you have to wait until the premiere to get that feeling.”
Now in her own London pad, former New Yorker Lindsay is enjoying her new life in the city. She explains: “I like the balance, having times when you can shut off at night. And I love the foods here, especially Twiglets and Hula Hoops. I never go out in disguise, though, I’m not going through a crisis phase.”
“I’m not used to a live audience, it’s a much quicker buzz…” Should we even touch that? I’m more interested in her cracked-out conversation with Al Pacino. Poor Al Pacino. Lindsay will name-drop anyone. I’m sure she did see Al Pacino somewhere and he probably nodded in her direction and somehow it got twisted up in her crack-mind.
PS… She’s decked out in some serious jewelry too. I wonder if she stole that diamond ring or that Cartier bracelet.

I think the play would have been better if she didn’t show up.
Lmao probably.
I mean, they HAD to have had an understudy, right?
i cant imagine the understudy is as big a mess
“I could’ve not shown up”
Stop teasing us Linds.
She sets the bar so high for herself. It’s inspiring.
Can we permanently change the Play’s name to “Speed, The Plowed” until her understudy takes over??
And really sis?? That’s like saying ” Look Mom, I could have not been in class..instead, here, Ma..i Present you with this F I got”
She doesn’t look as bad a cracked out mess in that top picture as she usually does.
And stop blowing kisses. Nobody wants to catch that crap.
Seriously, no one needs that air-born.
Why does she insist on blowing kisses? It always makes her look like more of a cracked out mess; and, that’s no easy feat.
Seriously! Which one of her johns or enablers told her that was cute? No one wants your gross STD-laden kisses, Lindsay!
This makes me want to start a website of reviews where I spend the least amount of time on the actual work, but pontificate on ways in which it could have been worse.
Review, Speed the Plow: Lindsay often stumbled and forgot lines, but the play would have been worse if a rabid bat flew from the rafters and bit members of the audience. The play might also have been worse if the role of Bobby Gould was played by a cracked out Charlie Sheen who shouted, “Winning” in place of his scripted lines. The play would have been a catastrophe if all the actors sang the words along to melodies written by Taylor Swift.
Bahahahahaha!!!!! Perfection!!!!!
You are so clever Kiddo, I’m in awe.
My contribution to your fledgling, but on the cusp of explosion, internet venture:
Review, Speed the Plow: Lindsay often stumbled and forgot lines, but the play would have been worse if the Palin family drove their Hummer Limo onto the stage, all stumbled out and began attacking audience members to the tune of Heart’s Barracuda. The play would have been a catastrophe if Reese Witherspoon also appeared and screamed “I am a complex American citizun!”
Keep it going, lol.
laughing…so hard….I….can’t….breathe….
😀
Bravo Kiddo!
Review, Speed the Plow: Lindsay often stumbled and forgot lines, but the play would have been worse if Beyonce appeared on stage intending to stuff the Cracken into her fake baby bump. The play might also have been worse if Jim Bob Duggar stood up in the audience just to scream at the theatre-goers who were holding hands and kissing without wearing wedding rings. The play would have been a catastrophe if the Goop herself began eating carbs in front of everyone, only to have MeAnn shriek while falling from the rafters to land on her. (MeAnn was absolutely not stalking Brandi who was sitting in the front row, nor was she keeping an eye on Eddie while he was backstage with the wardrobe girl.)
Talk about low expectations. “I could have not shown up.”
That’s like if I showed up late to court and butchered the case and then said, ‘Hey, your honor, it’s cool, I could have shown up drunk with pantyhose on my head. Totally could have been worse.”
Actually, that pretty much sounds like Lindsay’s last court apperance.
Should we take bets on if it was actually Al Pacino? Or just some short, yelling guy that she mistook for him in one of her hazes?
“short, yelling guy ” LMAO
She saw a short, yelling guy next to a giant pile of cocaine and thought she was IN Scarface.
LOL
Stop blowing kisses!
It’s not like “reviews” even matter. This farce was bought and paid for by one of her “social clients” with a big wallet. Think about it…… Linds has the smallest role in the play, never set foot on a theatre stage before, yet it’s only HER face (and top billing!) on the promotional posters. Bought and paid for, much like the fluffy reviews and love-soaked Tweets such as “Perfect!” and “Lindsay NAILED it!!!” Let us sit back and wait for relevant reviews by actual theatre critics. THEN we can read the homeschool-fueled lies and excuses. Meanwhile – we need more pictures of Liability Lohan staggering out of nightclubs after a “dinner with friends” at the Chiltern Firecrotch. At 4:00am.
“It’s my play.”
Speed The Plow, by L. Lohan
Plow the Speed.
“I could’ve not shown up”. In what world is she living in? If it’s your friggin JOB, you show up regardless and don’t use it as an excuse. Just further proof this twit lives on another planet.
She needs a new GD hairdo! Ugh.
Her hairdo is the least of her problems.
Her hair follicles are talking amongst themselves and are ready to jump ship.
Stop with the kisses. Just smile and wave.
Wow, she actually did a full day’s work! What an accomplishment. Someone give her a damehood, a gold star and a muffin.
I guess this just proves how lowly she thinks of herself if she thinks the mere act she showed up counts for something.
And just stop with the blow kiss pictures! Is this the new duckface? It looks flattering on absolutely no one.
I went to work today too but the sons of bitches I work for made me do work in addition to showing up! I’m thinking of moving to London.
I so badly hate when she blows kisses.
