Lohan confides in Vanity Fair
In the upcoming Vanity Fair, Lindsay Lohan acknowledges making mistakes and "dabbling in certain things."
But in a July interview with the magazine before she served 14 days in jail followed by 23 days of inpatient rehab, she defended her actions, saying she was young and curious but associating with the wrong people.
"A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving," said Lohan, 24. "I had a lot of people that were there for me for, you know, the party."
She says she'll do whatever it takes to fix her party-girl image: "I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it."
'Jersey Shore' star to cha cha cha
Mike "the Situation" Sorrentino leaves the Jersey Shore for the dance floor in the upcoming "Dancing With the Stars." He'll compete against singer Michael Bolton, Kyle Massey ("Cory in the House"), retired NFL quarterback Kurt Warner, retired basketball player Rick Fox and David Hasselhoff.
And Baby will be coming out of the corner: Jennifer Grey ("Dirty Dancing") is in the cast, announced Monday, with singer Brandy, "Brady Bunch" mom Florence Henderson, Audrina Patridge ("The Hills"), comedian Margaret Cho and Bristol Palin.
Casting chief Deena Katz thought Palin was a long shot. But when Katz asked, "she packed up her truck and drove all the way from Alaska." MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS
