SNL saved Lindsay Lohan

by Anna Johns, posted Jan 5th 2006 11:07PM
In a highly publicized interview with Vanity Fair magazine, 19-year-old Lindsay Lohan admits she has experimented with drugs and suffered from bulimia. She says she's over the drug use, and she credits Saturday Night Live's Lorne Michaels with saving her from the bulimia. After Lohan hosted SNL back in May, she says Michaels staged an intervention to confront her about her eating disorder. Lohan says, when Michaels confronted her, she started bawling and right away admitted her problem. She blames the stress of newfound fame, her break-up with That 70s Show's Wilmer Valderrama, and the nightmare divorce of her parents for causing her to go off the deep end.

Wow. It's honestly very refreshing to hear a teen idol admit she had a problem, and to hear that Lorne Michaels, of all people, stepped in to help. During his years at SNL, Lorne has seen too many celebrities on a downward spiral, and it's just so nice to hear that he tries to help people stop their self-destructive behavior before it's too late. Maybe he should book Nicole Richie next.

Amy Poehler was in "Mean Girls" as well, and also talked with Lindsay, according to Tina Fey

The intervention was staged by Lorne Michaels and Tina Fey, who wrote and co-starred in "Mean Girls" with Lohan.

It's a good thing Mr. Michaels stepped in. She looks ghastly in the picture.

Maybe John Woo can hire her as Skeletor in the He-Man movie.
