After Lindsay Lohan racked up a $46,000 bill at Chateau Marmont with absolutely no intention of paying it off, the producers of her new movie Liz & Dick agreed to pay it for her, and all she had to do with sit down to one softball interview with Barbara Walters. Seriously, that’s it. $46,000 for an easy interview. But this is Lindsay we’re talking about, so of course she found a way to back out of it because she was afraid of being asked hard questions. TMZ reports …
Lindsay was scheduled to sit down with Walters this week … and we’re told when she originally agreed to the interview, it was supposed to focus on her new movie, Liz & Dick. But sources close to the actress tell us … in the past week, producers made it clear to Lohan that Barbara wanted to talk about her personal life as well … including allegations that she lied to police about the June car crash on Pacific Coast Highway. We’re told Lindsay’s new PR team, Rogers & Cowan, felt it would be a mistake to put Lindsay in the hot seat … where she could possibly say something that could screw up her case … so they pulled the plug. Sources tell us Lindsay feels terrible for canceling on Barbara, especially since she considers Walters a family friend, and wants to reschedule as soon as her team feels the time is right.
Ummmmm, really? The hardest question I’ve ever seen Barbara ask a celebrity is “Are you comfortable? Would you like a pillow?” Conversely, I think we’re at a point where we couldn’t be any more disappointed with Lindsay if she went on camera and admitted that she screwed up, so really? No Lindsay, just no …
