Lindsay Is Talking To EVERYONE!
Thank God Lohan's back in the game. Now we can (hopefully) talk about Britney less!
She's out of rehab and Lindsay is talking to anyone who will listen.
The recovering actress just sat down with In Touch Weekly for a NEW interview and PerezHilton.com is bringing it to you exclusively!
Lohan talks about her time in rehab, what she hopes for her future, her upcoming trip to Africa, reconciling with her dad Michael and reveals that she has a new boyfriend.
Who is she? What did Lindsay say?
CLICK HERE to read the In Touch interview!!!
At 11 p.m. on a Sunday night, Lindsay Lohan is curled up on a chair at the Sundance Resort in Utah. Makeup-free, wearing a gray sweat suit and with her long blond hair still damp from the shower, the 21-year-old is giving her first post rehab interview exclusively to In Touch. Refreshingly frank during the hour-long chat on October 7, the only topic she shies away from is her romance with Riley Giles, the 25-year-old snowboarder from California she met during her two-month stay at Cirque Lodge in Utah. But she confirms their relationship and admits that her love life, like everything else, is looking up these days.
In Touch Weekly (ITW): How will your life be different now?
Lindsay Lohan (L.L.): The biggest thing is not being in LA and staying away from the nightlife. Going out all the time was very self-destructive. Partying and having all of those pictures taken distracts from the work that I do. It’s not why I started acting. I didn’t get into acting to be written about. It kind of just happened — so I accept that it’s my life. But there are some things that I can do to make changes and grow up. I want to act like a woman rather than a teenager. I am doing the best I can.
ITW: You’d been at Cirque Lodge since August. Why did you stay longer than you needed to?
L.L.: There is that urge to want to leave early, obviously, and be back in the real world. But it was safer at Cirque and I was learning more. I felt it was necessary, and other people I worked with felt that it was important.
ITW: What was the hardest part about rehab?
L.L.: It was hard surrendering and having people tell me what to do. It was really humbling for me, but I liked how I was treated as a normal person. I had to look out for myself.
ITW: You also had to do chores.
L.L.: I kept the common areas clean. I liked making coffee for the gym the best.
ITW: How did the reunion with your father, Michael Lohan, happen?
L.L.: There were a lot of phone conversations, figuring out a way for him to come here. We hadn’t connected in three-and- a-half years. But it was really good for me. My mom [Dina] thought it was a good idea, as well. I think it was really important for me to get a connection back with my dad because I hadn’t had that in a while.
ITW: What’s it like now having your family reunited?
L.L.: It’s wonderful! I can relate to other people who don’t have both parents or have parents that are separated. It can be hard and draining on the children and the family. I think the trouble in my family resulted in me rebelling and doing things to try to get my parents’ attention. But all in all, it’s better for me now to have them [in my life]. It’s healthy.
ITW: There were rumors that you had fallen off the wagon in rehab.
L.L.: It’s just really hard when people put out rumors about a relapse. It’s hard for me to maintain my sobriety when people are doing that, because it hurts. I would like support from people.
ITW: The wife of another patient, Tony Allen, blames you for breaking up their marriage.
L.L.: Rumors are rumors. I don’t really have anything to say about that. Tony and I were just friends and if anyone has anything negative to say, I would just like to ask, “Why?” We were just friends and that was it.
ITW: Are you dating anyone now?
L.L: Yes, I am seeing someone. His name is Riley. I am really happy and taking it day by day.
ITW: Have you cut people out of your life who were bad influences?
L.L: I have good people in my life now. I am surrounded with people that don’t use me and who love me for me. They are people I can trust and love in return. I have found people that are there for the right reasons. They don’t need anything from me and they just treat me like a person.
ITW: But how do you know who your real friends are?
L.L.: My real friends are the ones who are appreciative of what I have done to take care of myself and change my life. They condone that. They want me to be happy and to still be in Utah. They are the ones who don’t want me back in LA to go party. Those are the ones who are around me for the wrong reasons. The people who want to go out and party, that’s not what I am about now.
ITW: Have you learned any useful advice you’d like to share?
L.L.: Just to stay true to yourself and respect yourself. Don’t do things for the hell of it. Karma’s a big deal, so treat others how you want to be treated.
ITW: Do you have any new movie projects lined up?
L.L.: I’m going to start filming a movie called Dare to Love Me. That should last about two weeks. Then, I am going to spend time with my family. I want to try something different, and do my job and see what that is like.
ITW: Are you moving to New York permanently?
L.L.: Well, I will be in New York to see my brothers and sister. I think that it’s important that I am there for them. It’s good for me, too. I’ll be back and forth, bicoastal, as I have been.
ITW: There has been talk that you’ve got a big charity trip in the works, too.
L.L.: I’m planning a trip to Africa during the second week in December. I’m working with the American Red Cross, but it is not finalized yet.
ITW: Do you have a message for your supporters from all this?
L.L.:I just want to apologize to any of my fans that look up to me, especially my younger fans, for setting the examples that I didn’t mean to set. That is one of the reasons that I want to change things. I don’t want to be known as that person. I have a younger sister and she looks up to me, too. All the negative stuff that gets said hurts my feelings, it hurts my sister, Ali, and my family. Maybe me not going out as much will help. I want to do what’s right for my family as well as what is right for me.
ITW: What was the biggest lesson you learned from all this?
L.L.: I learned who I am — the real me, stripped from everything else.
ITW: So was your time in rehab a good experience?
L.L.: It’s been a great experience. I’m really grateful. Everything happens for a reason and I am in the right place now.

Yawn….I give her 3 months before she is arrested for something again……
go lindsay!!!
Fucking second….
:D
first!
1st comment??
Ok so it just sounds so staged and everything we basically want to hear. Positive shit! Blah blah blah blah blah…. not interesting to me. I give her like a few months to have this new rehab "innocent" look…then back to the old LL!
I GIVE HER 2 WEEKS before she's out partying, drugging, and being her normal messed up self!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUV YA PEREZ!!!
this chicky maybe 20 but she's already washed up.
she's so full of crap; it hurts.
She sounds like she still wants to go out, and like she is still blaming other people for her mistakes. Good luck, Lindsay. You'll need it.
first?
1st?
THANK YOU LINDSAY!! THANK YOU!! So tired of Britney!!
Impressive interview. Hopefully her new mature outlook will stick and she'll stay on track. She is very talented and it would be a shame for her to just burn out and blow away.
Get rid of the blonde hair though - much better looking as a redhead!
She seems sincere… Only time will tell. FIRST
87th?
Wow, I'm actually really surprised. She seems to have matured a lot. If only some other celebrities could go through this kind of experience. It worked for Drew Barrymore and now it may have worked for Lindsay. I hope she keeps it up. Dare to be happy for the right reasons!!!!
I sincerely hope she stays well.
wow
How long till she relapses again ?
we'll see
WAY 2 GO LINDSAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i do wish her the best but….she used to party with her mom ya know? is her mom gonna give up partying too? i cant picture her not going out to clubs, etc!
I support you leading a good example Lohan!!
I want to see you rise up from this that would be AWESOME!!!
Awesome interview! I hope she can stay sober!
im excited for her!
I bet her mom or someone else answered those questions for her and faxed them to the magazine.
Re: Jane – what part sounded like she wanted to go out or that she was blaming people? WTF can you READ? idiot.
19th!
12-step programs always say to stay out of relationships for at least 6 months and just do work on yourself. With a boyfriend "already" that already smells like there will be trouble right up the path for her. I wonder what the Cirque thought about her getting into a relationship so soon??
She still sounds so full of shit - all about her feelings…. who cares about how she feels when people 'say bad things' - grow the fuck up Lindsay!!
good for her… hope she can keep it up
NARCICISTIC LITTLE CUNT WANTS TO APOLOGIZE TO THE PEOPLE THAT LOOK UP TO HER. IS SHE KIDDIN? THIS CHICK IS NOT IN REALITY AND NO AMOUNT OF REHAB WILL CRACK HER EGO. I AM DISGUSTED BUT NOT SURPRISED.
Crack Whore !!!
give her three weeks…
Agreed with Jane — she's still blaming other people for her error of ways, (just like her mother does). People who like to party aren't bad friends — they just like to party. Was someone pouring the alcohol and drugs down her throat?? I thought rehab was supposed to teach you that you are responsible for your actions — not other people.
oh HOW LOVELY OF YOU TO FORGET TO MENTION THAT SHE WILL BE GOING BACK TO UTAH TO CONTINUE HER RECOVERY AFTER SHE GETS DONE WITH HER MOVIE (BASICALLY 2 WKS)
SHE IS NOT FINISHED 'WITH REHAB
SHE IS SERIOUS AND GOING BACK AFTER

meh. she'll relapse in a week. probably die. who caaaares.
is this for real?
Borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrringggggggggg zzzzzzZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzZZZZZZZZZ
Team meth!
Haven't we learned a lesson with what's happening to Britney? Here's a girl who's at least trying to get her shit together. How about being supportive and positive?!?
I hope that all she said is genuine. I have always loved her as an actress and I've been rooting for her all along. I hope she maintains and proves everyone wrong!
Um, I thought part of doing AA was NOT to be in a relationship for the first 12 months because you are supposed to focus on your own recovery…..
Looks like she is still ignoring their advice. VIVA LA LOHAN!
19th??????????????? i really hope lindsay's doing bttr n will have learn from her mistakes n focus on her career as well as get rid of all the negative people surrounding her. good luck lindsay!!! luv yah!!! luv u perezzz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bore…
She's a brave girl. I support her.
looks like someone gave lindsay lohan a class on what to say when being interviewed.
it's silly how seriously she takes herself. a real actress? and cant people see right through her? she's a liar just like her effing mother.
very stirring. clap clap
She should really follow the "program" and avoid getting into any relationships for a while, especially with someone she met in rehab.
GOOD FOR HER! I can only hope that this means she will start to choose great scripts and be the Actor that most people thought she would be.
Desperate for cash BROKE beyotch
#34 - k — This sounds like blaming other people and still wanting to go out:
ITW: Have you cut people out of your life who were bad influences?
L.L: "I have good people in my life now. I am surrounded with people that don’t use me and who love me for me. They are people I can trust and love in return. I have found people that are there for the right reasons. They don’t need anything from me and they just treat me like a person."
"Maybe me not going out as much will help."
____________________________________________________________
I really wish her all the best…it would be sad to see her go down again…I hope she will be serious this time.
hey i cant believe im talking to u its sooooooooooooooooo cool
Well good for her. Everyone deserves a fourth chance.
She'll relapse!
aww it's good that she is better FOR NOW ahah sooner or later she'll go back to that white stuff… I LOVE PEREZ AND BRITNEY!!
yeah, i really don't buy it. she stayed in rehab that long so she could avoid court and jail and stuff. also, so what if she doesn't go out…she can still snort coke at home. but, i hope she sticks to what she's saying and stays clean.
I THINK SHE IS TRYING TO CHANGE BUT CHANGE IS EASY WHEN UR NOT HOME IN UR NORMAL ENVIRONMENT SO WHEN SHE BACK IN LA OR NYC WILL BE THE REAL CHALLENGE.
AND THAT MARRIED GUY SHE WAS ASKED ABOUT AND SHE SAID THEY WERE JUST FRIENDS SEEM ODD TO ME. JUST EDMIT YOU WHAT YOU DID. NO ONE GET A DIVORCE FOR BEING FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE.
I DONT REALLY SEE HER MAKING IT I MEAN I HOPE SHE DOES AND SHOW A MORE MATURE NORMAL SIDE BUT SEVERLY DOUBT IT
AND WHY DATE A GUY U MET IN REHAB THAT SCREAMS MISTAKE
WHEN ARE THESE F*CKING PEOPLE GOING TO GET A CLUE, THAT AFRICA IS A CONTINENT…HOW CAN YOU GO TO A F*CKING CONTINENT, NAME THE F*CKING COUNTRY…YOU WHORE!
Her answers sound so scripted. They probably weren't but they are the same answers EVERYONE gives. Maybe that's how you feel after rehab, I don't know. Never been. I wish her luck and I hope she isn't full of shit this time. I am not buying movie tickets to see losers that I don't respect. On the other hand, if she is a new person, then She really can be a true role model.
And she blew a line off my hard dick in May before blowing me.
"Exclusively" means that it's being held by one party. That would be In Touch. What you're doing, Perez, is "copying". You don't have an exclusive. They do. Let's all try and remember our roles here, k?
She seems so fake..I hate to say it but I think she will definatly go back to partying…
Linds don't turn into Brit. Please Mean What You Say This Time. We Love Ya!
well, hopefully she stays sober.

And PLEEEEEASE I don't want to go to Jail!!!!!!
nothing like going to re-hab for sex, drugs and rock -n- roll. now we have to hear her say how it has changed her. hahahahahahahaha.she got busted for drugs in rehab. hahahahahahahaha
I hope she means it… sobriety is fucking hard. Good luck and stay the HELL outta LA!!!!!!!!!!!
pathetic.
the only reason she will stay "home" is because she has a boyfriend to stay home with this girl is a ticking time bomb when it comes to guys and she needs a guy to keep her stable AND Riley is the ONLY reason lindsay stayed longer…No lie.
I really hope they worked on her man issues in rehab because if not she will fail. again.
yr back, BABY! So drop the attitude, drink vodka and make those orgasmic head lines! I LOVE YOU.
Looks like she really is being sincere… maybe we shoudl layoff of Lindsey for a while… seems like she's getting her sh*t in order…. I guess it's back to Britney bashing… Only if we could here something like this come out of Britney's mouth…
i really hope she is ok. she sounds good she sounds sane, and like she is taking blame. i hope this lasts. shes talented and it'd be great for her to get really back in the acting game.
Ooo new boyfriend?? NOT A GOOD START LILO!
God Bless you Lindsey-stay sober- you have the potential to be a great actress so hang in there and stay out of LA as much as possible.
that was so fuckin staged. everything in there is what she is EXPECTED to say..just like paris when she left jail.
YOUR REAL FRIENDS WILL BE THE ONES WHO RESPECT WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO & NOT DRAG YOU BACK INTO THE PARTY SCENE. THE HATERS WILL BE EASY TO SPOT. THEY'LL HAVE THE WIDEST SMILES & THE MOST TEMPTING INVITATIONS. GOOD LUCK, LINDSEY. I WISH YOU WELL.
Re: Amanda –
nobody knows FAKE like Amanda. It was her major in college.
Sounds great Lindsay, lots of good ideas. Go Lindsay! ALF
LOOK FOR THE BRITNEY BITCHES TO SPEW LOTS OF HATE ON THE BLOGS. THEY'RE SCARED TO DEATH THAT SOMEBODY WILL GRAB THE SPOTLIGHT FROM THE CHICKEN-FRIED POPWRECK.
People are so negative! Must suck to go through life expecting the worst. I think she will do fine, sure she might slip up but that is part of the process. I think she will do very well in the future.
Re: Amanda – WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO YOUR TENT & CRYSTAL BALL, BITCH?
I hope you and snowboarder Riley Giles work out, I like the name, I'll have to google him for a image. Please skip the Africa trip, too many diseases down there. Go Lindsay!
She's fucking stupid. Of course she has to sell herself out to magazines, all her movies since 2003 have bombed.
