Following in the footsteps of Rihanna and Lance Armstrong, Lindsay Lohan will sit down with Oprah Winfrey for an interview, which will take place in August after Lohan is finished with her court-ordered 90-day turn in rehab, which is set to finish up at the end of this month. What's more, she's set to star in her own docu-series, which is slated to air on Winfrey's OWN network later this year.
EW says the sit-down between Lohan and Winfrey is scheduled to take place later this summer, and will air in August. An OWN spokesperson went on to confirm that the 8-part documentary series, which will star Lohan in her post-rehab life as she attempts to rebuild her career and stay healthy, will air at some point in 2014. Oprah's interviews tend to deliver, especially when it involves subjects linked to personal struggles and controversy. The Lance Armstrong interview gave the cyclist an opportunity to open up about some of the mistakes he's made in the past and talk about the backlash over his scandal involving use of performance-enhancing drugs and how it's affected his personal life…
Lohan has her own set of struggles and controversy to be explored. It seems like she's been trying to get out from under the heavily publicized controversy in her life for years, only to have one or more setbacks, the latest of which put her back in rehab. Coming out of rehab and sitting down with Oprah to talk about what's going on in her life may be just what she needs to begin the starting-over process. And perhaps having cameras documenting her movements for the upcoming series will encourage her to keep that new leaf turned over as she attempts to improve her life.
It sounds like August will be a big month for Lohan. News of her planned interview with Oprah comes the same week that the trailer for Lohan's upcoming film The Canyons debuted. And the film just so happens to release into theaters and on demand in August. So we might expect to hear Lohan's name quite a bit around the water cooler come next month. It'll be interesting to see how much she opens up to Oprah when the two women sit down together. Take a look at a clip of Oprah's interview with Rihanna…
