In the last line of the preview for Lindsay, the new OWN documentary series reality show promising an inside look at the world of Lohan, Lindsay says with determination, “I know this is my last shot at doing what I love to do.”
This is just after Oprah gets real and tells her she needs to “cut the bullshit.”
I know we love a good ‘ole American comeback story, but haven’t we done this already? Does anyone actually care anymore about seeing the former national sweetheart pick up the pieces of her life? How many comebacks can a person have before the age of 30?
In the preview, Lindsay doesn’t exactly come off as sympathetic, sincere or even very nice at all.
She does want you to know how boring life has become though. “There’s no party I haven’t been to. No person I haven’t hung out with.”
She may not be the greatest actress in the world, but she does play one mean victim.
Here’s the trailer:

So first Georgia Rule was supposed to be a comeback, then “I know who Killed me”, then The Lifetime movie about Liz Taylor that bombed, then that Linda Lovelace movie that they booted her from, then that movie “The Canyons” that tanked.
She was talented as an 11 year old, but frankly I haven’t seen any evidence that the woman can act since Freaky Friday and maybe Mean Girls. Although lets face it, Mean Girls was carried by that great ensemble cast.

She’s looking pretty (surgery has finally settled in), but damn she unhealthy like lack of sleep or nutrients. If i had OWN I’d watch this. Looks good. I agree though, you can only take so much of the victim role.
@Cam, you’re right, all those things were suppose to be comebacks, but they flatlined. She needs to stop headlining, be a best friend in a romantic comedy, or the bitch ex who fucks things up between the romantic leads.

She got Oprah to swear that is something i have not seen or heard before.

Oprah not swear? I cut her off in a buffet line once and she tore me a new one.

@seaguy: …..considering how her ratings are not exactly hitting the stratosphere she might be heading down the Jerry Springer trail. He is, believe it or not, still on with a LARGE midwestern audience. Why the poor white trash of Indiana and western Ohio have not marched out of their trailers and demanded an end to it I will never know. I guess once they have ALL “starred” on it at least once they will.

@stranded:
You are so right. I think she needs to stop trying to be Angelina Jolie and start trying to imitate Bridget Fonda. If she was career smart at this point…which she isn’t, she would be trying to get 3rd and 4th leads and just show up, do a good job and try to gain some professional respect. But she won’t do that. She is completely self destructive at this point.
As for her being bored. How sad that she thinks going to a few clubs and seeing the same people mean she has met everybody and done everything. What a sad small world she lives in.

My favorite part of the massive publicity pushing this mess was a clip of Oprah saying, “America warned me that Lindsay would be a mess. I guess they were right.”
Apparently it comes down to this: either Oprah is lying and has sunk to Jerry Springer tactics to get ratings for her fading network, or she’s very, VERY stupid.
