Michael Lohan: Lindsay Was on Drugs on SNL
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, Drama, Late Night, Music, Prime Time, FOX, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Gossip,
Michael Lohan claims the troubled actress is no longer taking any illegal substances but says medicine provided by her doctors prevented her from showing her true acting ability when she performed on the comedy sketch show in March. However, Michael insists he convinced her to stop taking prescription medication ahead of her recent Glee cameo and believes she is now once again showing her potential.
"I have to say this...on SNL, Lindsay was not using any illicit drugs or drinking but she still is on prescription drugs that they gave her. And the meds that they give her are meds that they say she needs, but she doesn't need them. But they kind of make her flat. She's not acting at a full potential. It's like the screen is down over her. And now when she did Glee I said, 'Linds, get off the damn medication and let people see who you really are.' And for a couple days before Glee, she went off this stuff. And there were tears in my eyes when I watched Glee. THAT was Lindsay. Yeah that was her acting. That is Lindsay Lohan at the Parent Trap, Freaky Friday and Mean Girls potential. That is what she was."

Lindsay Lohan’s Glee Issues
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Music, Prime Time, FOX, Gossip, Rumors,
Lindsay Lohan was reportedly a "total nightmare" on the set of Glee.The troubled actress turned up late on set and is believed to have not prepared for the role when she arrived to play a part on the musical TV show.
"Lindsay was a total nightmare yesterday (August 25). She was three hours late in the morning and when she did finally arrive, she just didn't want to be there. She did not want to work. She did not memorize her lines and she kept disappearing so no one could find her," a source told E! News.
Lindsay filmed the first part of her role in the show - which is set to air on May 15 - last week, but the follow-up shots was not as successful. Lindsay spokesperson Steve Honig, however, claimed it was a "misunderstanding," which made her let for her call:
"The production team came to us and said that they wanted to start [with Lindsay] right after lunch, which was at 2. They wanted to begin with Lindsay at 3, so that meant she had a lot of time where she wasn't doing anything. That's why people didn't see her. She was then in hair and makeup and began after lunch at 3. If there was a problem yesterday, I would have just said 'no comment,' however I can't ignore this because this is utter B.S. This is a classic example of people trying to bash Lindsay. She busted her ass yesterday and is back on set again today."

Lindsay Lohan is set to guest star in Glee.
The troubled actress - who has previously complained about the musical TV series for mocking her stints in rehab - is reportedly in final negotiations to appear on the program to play herself as one of the celebrity judges in the annual nationals competition, website TVLine reports.
Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg has signed on for a stint in the show that is expected to last for three episodes.

Whoopi's character - who will first appear on May 1 - is expected to oversee the pair through their auditions.

Bridesmaids actress Kristen Wiig also mocked the guest host, giving her a hug that turned into a body search for illicit substances, quipping "she's clean" at the end.

Lindsay Lohan in Talks to Host SNL
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Comedy, Late Night, NBC, Saturday Night Live, Gossip, Video,
UPDATE: Insiders are saying that Linds won’t be appearing on SNL after all. Funny that the whispers arrived on the same day reports about two failed drug tests did.
Lindsay Lohan’s dance card is filled with post-jail and post-rehab commitments until November, but her schedule will open up a little just before the new year. How will she celebrate her extra free time? Why not with a hosting stint on Saturday Night Live?
Linds is reportedly in talks with the famous variety show to perform as the host on the December 4 episode. Lindsay Lohan isn’t the most popular person the show could snag, but the situation is rife with comedic possibilities.
The actress has already proven that she’s capable of poking fun at herself. Lohan hilariously hosted the show on May 1, 2004. Back then, she was sweet seventeen and about three years shy of her first rehab stay.

2010 VMAs: Chelsea Handler’s Best Moments
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Award Shows, Music, Cable, MTV, Video,
Judging from the unkind comments in his blog, Perez Hilton wasn’t thrilled with Chelsea Handler as the VMA host…but the ratings tell a different tale. Sunday’s broadcast was the highest-rated VMA for MTV since 2002, a fact Handler herself pointed out to Perez on Twitter.
We think the numbers are well-earned. Chelsea Handler got the show off to great start with two very funny opening skits, one featuring a surprise Lindsay Lohan appearance (viewable in the video above). See more of Chelsea’s best VMA moments after the jump.
