First Playboy, then Saturday Night Live, and now, Glee. Lindsay Lohan is slowly trying to climb the ladder back into mainstream relevance for reasons beyond her troubled past and damaged reputation. At this point, Lohan is still being cast largely because of the "train wreck" potential that she brings to everything that she does, so it's difficult to measure if she's making any progress toward rescuing her once-promising career. The more likely reality is that she is enjoying the sort of fame and opportunities that come to those who are famous for being infamous.
But Lohan does still carry a bit of her original charisma, if masked by the obvious scars of heavy drug abuse and the puff of botox. She'll appear on an upcoming episode of Glee as a celebrity judge, playing herself. Such a role is probably perfect for Lohan at this point, given that she may not be capable of acting in the traditional sense.
Her appearance on SNL was fairly choppy and it was clear that she wasn't comfortable speaking without reading from the cue cards. In fairness to Lindsay, Academy Award nominee Jonah Hill offered a similar performance just one week after Lohan.
With Lindsay potentially nearing the end of her years of probation restrictions and community service requirements, there may be an opportunity for her to regain some semblance of her former career as a rising young actress. Lohan peaked as a late teen with her performance in Mean Girls, a comedy written by Tina Fey that also featured Rachel McAdams and Amanda Seyfried, among others who have gone on to larger success in film and television.
