![]() And instead of chronicling what Lohan no longer is - an A-list star - and her desperation to be that person again, the slick series theoretically encourages you to root for her to succeed in a new way, on her terms, elevating her to the role of confident, put-together mentor/boss to other aspiring club promoters. ![]() The upcoming MTV series Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club showcases Lohan in her new life as a promoter and part-owner of Greek clubs. It’s surprising, then, to find Lohan once again seeking redemption on reality TV. Instead, the disturbing, voyeuristic show documented a troubled recovery and made the case that Lohan was too screwed up to be saved - even by Oprah. In 2014, Lindsay, Lohan’s post-rehab Oprah Winfrey Network docuseries, was supposed to turn everything around, serving as a commercial for a refurbished, sober-and-ready-to-get-back-to-work movie star. Hangers-on, ranging from employees to immediate family members, seemed to feed on Lohan’s need. ![]() In shots of her head lolling back in a gray hoodie, her scarab-green eyes dull and overwhelmed by dilated pupils under police station fluorescents, her teeth like chipped and tea-stained china, her arm twisted behind her back at the wrong angle by her then-fiancé, Lohan seemed to be publicly begging for help. The collective mental image of Lohan is not the actress glowing with one arm confidently akimbo on the red carpet, but portrait gallery’s worth of paparazzi photos of her accruing DUIs, theft charges, probation violations, and rehab stays. Between 1998, when Lindsay Lohan gave a prodigious double performance as twins in The Parent Trap, and 2007, when she became so reliably unreliable that major studios all but stopped casting her in movies, she grossed nearly half a billion dollars at the box office. ![]()
