Lindsay Lohan and Whoopi Goldberg will be the latest celebrity distractions on Glee
Adding another croaking, Tom Waits-esque chorus to her ongoing redemption song, Lindsay Lohan will guest star on Glee, playing herself as one of the celebrity judges at the all-important “nationals” and as a person who is completely committed to rehabilitating her image, which is at least more lucrative than the other kind of rehabilitation. Much like her recent, gently self-deprecating appearance on Saturday Night Live, Lohan turning up on Glee would be yet another sign that she’s ready to have a disconcertingly throaty laugh at herself again: After all, it was just over a year ago that the slightly grayer Lohan threatened legal action against the show for a joke in which Gwyneth Paltrow’s substitute teacher character mocked Lohan’s many stints in rehab, which everyone was supposed to keep secret.
