Lindsay Wants $1 Million for First Post-Jail Interview

You can bet Lindsay Lohan will have plenty to say when she's sprung from the joint later this summer, but if you want her for a TV interview you'd better have deep pockets! Sources tell me that deals are already in the works to secure Lindsay's first post-jailhouse chat for a whopping $1 million. You heard right, a cool mil!
"Financially, it's the best thing that could have ever happened to Lindsay," a magazine insider tells me. "It's no secret that Lindsay has been in financial trouble for a while. She will earn more money from her post-prison interview than she ever earned acting."
Lindsay is not the first celebrity to turn her troubles into a cash cow.
The New York Post reported that Paris Hilton was offered a million dollars for her post-prison interview back in June 2007. After a public outcry, however, several media outlets ultimately decided not to pursue Paris, forcing her to give her interview away to CNN's Larry King for free.
Paid interviews, while routine in Europe, are still taboo here in the USA. The way major networks get around this is by engaging in "licensing" deals that provide compensation for the rights to personal material, most often video footage or photos.
Sources tell me that this is exactly the type of arrangement Lindsay is looking for.
"Expect to see a major TV and magazine deal," a source close to Lindsay tells me. "Lindsay might have made a lot of mistakes, but she knows how much her first interview is worth. She won't even consider offers of less than $1 million."
Dan Wakeford, editor-in-chief of Life & Style magazine, explains to me why Lindsay's first interview is worth so much. "It's everyone's primal fear to go to jail or have a child go to jail."
Candace Trunzo, editor-in-chief of Star, believes that the appeal is part of the public's fascination with Lohan. "For better or worse, we're invested in Lindsay. We've watched her self-destruct for years, always anticipating the worst."
However, Michelle Lee, InTouch Weekly's editor-in-chief, warns, "I think her first post-prison interview will get a lot of attention, but it depends how long she actually ends up staying behind bars! At the same time, Lindsay always seems to have an excuse, so it would be interesting to see if she finally tells the full truth."
And what that truth is ultimately worth to Lindsay is far more than $1 million dollars.

Are you kidding me! This is the whole problem, the media wants to pay this convict for her post jail interview. What is wrong with you people. This country is in a sad situation when media wants to give millions to these people when we have children straving in this country everyday. We should be ashamed as a country that we have put these spoiled little brats ahead of what is really needed.

I agree totally. We have a high rate of unemployment, children and families are starving and losing their homes and and some stupid loser freak wants a cool million to tell her post lockup story? If some network or magazine actually pays her for that it will show us as a country what they (the network or rag mag) think is more important. I honestly hope that no one thinks paying that loser a million is more important than putting our unemployed back to work. You have that much money to "give away" give it to a couple of deserving families that actaully need it.
If we would ignore her, maybe she would just fade away.
She has aged beyond her years. Hollywood is a cesspool
that spawns people like her who think they are gods who can do
whatever they want. But without us buying their crap, they
would be nothing.

How disgusting. Instead of learning from this experience, she is just using it to make money. How low can one go?

Amen. My low opinion of her just sunk further down. She is a bottom feeder and it makes me sick that people will reward her by paying her and buying the trash rag that gets the exclusive.
Is she crazy. I won't give her a penny. Her thoughts is that she is going to jail to make money. This woman has rocks in her head. She needs to growup.

Weenie Lips wants what?! LOL....how would the buyer know she'd even show up for the interview?
Future, potential employers are watching her behavior. Better wise up, girl. You did this to yourself.

Just like Charlie Sheen, she'll profit from her bad behavior. Because there are those "stupid as they are" who support their behavior and say it is a capitalistic society. Who support their arrogance.
I for one have stopped watching 1 1/2 men because of Charlies behavior. I will not support it and I will not support Lindsays behavior by going to anything she might be in in the future. People can change but not if they are rewarded for their frk'g. behavior.

If some fool gives her a million, it was probably her moms idea to get million for her story. Losers, I wonder who will take care of Ali went shes in the pokey?

I'll bet it's her fathers idea!
That girl is some real trash. It smells worse everyday.

Hell, I would spend 28 days in jail for a cool mill. Any offers?

Ugly skank

This and the painted finger nails shows a person who wants this kind of negative attention. Any mag that pays her needs to reimburse all the legal costs the state of california incurred due to her blatant disregard for the legal system. If you dumb enough to pay money to buy the rag..then you need to really evaluate yorself. L.L and her family are a stain on society. Maybe the million should have stipulation that she moves out of the country and never returns.

Lohan is a borderline personality disorder, with bi-polar tendencies, and acute addictive issues. Besides that she is self serving, personally destructive, and looks 20 years older than her age. I would give her 2 cents for an interview, that's what bad service gets. I hope she serves every minute of jail time. Whoever the "probation officer" is that gave her a positive report, a "she's really trying" should be fired. He is an idiot. Please stop hanging on her every sicko word.

I would pay her a nickle and not a penny more.
