Lindsay Lohan to Oprah: $2 Million For Tell-All!
Los Angeles, July 17: Actress Lindsay Lohan has reportedly charged international chat show queen Oprah Winfrey a whopping $2 million for a documentary series on her life. The 26-year-old recently signed a deal with Oprah Winfrey Networks (OWN) for the eight-part-documentary, which will showcase her innermost secrets of her life and struggle.
Lohan will also appear in an interview with Winfrey once she completes her stint at the Cliffside rehabilitation centre here. She is likely to be discharged from here by August, and it has been reported that she is keen to head to New York thereafter.
Oprah's OWN cable network has signed LiLo to an eight-episode docu-series that will follow the actress as she works to rebuild her career and health.
The interview will air in August, the series to air in 2014.
The network confirmed both projects in a statement:
"OWN will air an exclusive interview with Oprah and Lindsay Lohan that will tape and air in August and an eight-part documentary series with Lindsay for 2014."
She is currently serving a 90-day court-ordered stint in a rehab facility that is expected to conclude on July 31 (pray for her and for us). Getting her first post-rehab interview is considered a big scoop, while the series is arguably even bigger, as LiLo has eschewed reality TV for years.
At least if you consider Liz & Dick or The Canyons acting. The latter looks like a glorified way to get Lindsay Lohan nude again, but to each their own. Over the last year, Oprah's Next Chapter has scored Whitney Houston's family; Lance Armstrong's doping admission, and Rihanna's tear-filled Chris Brown confessional.
As for what Lohan's family thinks of the deal, "It's fantastic!" mom Dina Lohan said "If anyone is going to help mentor you, it's going to be Oprah."
Dina says she will "possibly" appear on the docu-series. "It's about family ... and I'm family."
And watch out New Yorkers, Dina adds that Lindsay will "be getting an apartment in New York" after she leaves Betty Ford and likely shooting the docu-series in the Big Apple.
