WATCH: Will Lindsay Lohan's Comeback Begin with This SNL Promo?
I won't waste space rattling off a list of the personal and professional troubles that have plagued Lindsay Lohan's life and career in recent years, so let's cut to the chase: Will her Saturday Night Live hosting gig this weekend -- her fourth time on the show after some admittedly hilarious prior turns -- show the world that La Lohan's ready to mount a comeback? Watch a healthy-ish-looking Lohan vaguely touch on her well-documented absence from glory in her SNL promos after the jump.
First thoughts:
- Who sent Lohan to Zooey Deschanel's hairdresser?
- Am I the only one transfixed by the plasticized morphing of her face from the face I thought she had?
- Seriously, I know Kenan Thompson is in this bit too, but I can't. Stop. Staring. At Lohan.
- Linds-sanity! What would Ben & Jerry put in that flavor of ice cream?
- Glimmers of the comic timing I remember seeing in Lohan long ago. Encouraging!
Anyway, I'm setting my DVR now.

I can't figure out if you are being sarcastic or serious.

Really what is this? Bad writing????
Oh, SaltySue! We've missed you. Do you still take your bile on the rocks, or are you just drinking it neat these days?
Her cheeks are something out of John Carter.
Lindsay, I hope your career will work out. I really do.
Honest... really.
This picture--if you could only look serious, keep this
hairdo, you could do a fine Mary Travers impersonation.

Kris, are all Klingons funny like you?
You have a nice nasty streak, so you must be an
old-school Klingon.
Nah, most Klingons aren't funny, which is too bad. All
that "honor" crap is dull.
I try to be nasty, and operate as an "old school" Klingon;
A happy villain, a smiling antagonist. Think "Rupert of Hentzau", but with a rubber headpiece.
Thanks, Notto!

I'd rather slit my eyeballs with a dull razor than watch a Lohan comeback at this point.
I am always rooting for the underdog. I pray she does make a comeback and a strong one! Being negative doesn't help anyone, especially ourselves.
IF anything, it's good that the girl's supposedly trying. It's a miracle that she hasn't pulled a Winehouse yet. So, good luck to her. But damn, she needs a makeover.
If she were more literate, maybe someone like Woody Allen or Scorcese would co-opt and save her, by linking her shakey soul to a firmament of legends. All being back on SNL does is make it possible for us to guffaw/gack! at her, outside a context which would leave us feeling we were ravenous for her ultimate despoliation and ruin.
Tarantino could always co-opt her.
That might work, actually.
Hey there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading this post reminds me of my previous room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this article to him. Fairly certain he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
Next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not disappoint me as much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, but I truly believed you would have something useful to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you can fix if you weren’t too busy seeking attention.
