Lindsay Lohan talks candidly about her breakup with Sam on "Ellen"As much as I feel I should, being able to look away from the Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson breakup has been hard for me. The drama was too addictive, which is why I was happy to see Lohan sit down with Ellen DeGeneres on her show today to clear the air — so we both can move on with our lives once and for all.
The appearance was a smart move on Lohan’s part, with Ellen being the best possible person to talk to on the subject of public lesbian breakups, and also gave her chance to let people know she was getting back to work. Lohan, looking very thin but with a seemingly positive attitude, spoke candidly with Ellen about the breakup, which apparently caught her by surprise. Watch the interview below: Ahh, the avoiding-your partner-in-hopes-they-will-notice something-is-wrong-and-end-things-first-strategy? Been there, Sam — not the best move. Despite the drama surrounding the big, breakup night, Lohan told Ellen the two were still friends. Ellen also opened up about her tumultuous public breakup, presumably with Anne Heche in 2000, which was all leading up to one thing — Ellen's attempts to have Lohan look at how involved she is with aiding the paparazzi in their quests to find out personal information about her (via her Twitter, MySpace blogs and other interviews), and how she could help herself not be so public. Maybe I’m a sucker, but the interview charmed me and I (along with Ellen) wish Lohan the best. It’s clear that she is not over Ronson, which prompted Ellen to ask if she thought they would get back together.
Ellen was very encouraging, and when Lohan said “you’re gonna make me cry” I understood why. Going through a heartbreak publicly has to be brutal, and I think — despite what many tabloids are reporting — she is handling it in a positive way. It did seem like Lohan was following Sam around, sitting in clubs online waiting for Sam when she could have been furthering her own career — haven’t we all been there? Sacrificing parts of yourself for a relationship happens, but when it goes too far you have to stop and wonder why. I can’t help but think Lohan was avoiding getting her career back on track because she was happily distracted in her relationship. While I would honestly like to see them get back together (come on, they were cute!) I think her plan to focus on herself first is a good one. And if I go through a bad breakup again, I hope Ellen can talk some sense into me. She’s good at it! Submitted by on April 23, 2009 - 1:40pm. |

I have been feeling bad for Lindsay.
My mom has been feeling bad for Lindsay...mom even brought Lindsay up and saying she is in a bad place and needs someone to help her...before I said a thing. lol Mom is cool like that.
So I was glad to see Lindsay on Ellen and am hoping that maybe Ellen will take her under her wing and watch out for her and help the sistah out.
I have no idea what went on between Lindsay and Sam...and really don't want to know...I just want to see Lindsay get herself and her career back on track. I don't think her talent is a fluke at all...but she seems to need a rock solid foundation in her personal life for herself...no matter who she is in a relationship with.
aw
im really glad lindsay did this interview. and ellen was great about it, being totally supportive while gently encouraging her to just lay low a little. ive never stopped being a lilo fan, and this interview reminded me why. oh, and her reaction when ellen asked if theyd get back together? i think my heart caught a little. we've all been through this, and it cant be easy. and if she and samantha end up together again, maybe it wouldnt be the worst thing, but im glad she commented on how when you're with someone, it's easy to forget who you are sometimes. im a huge believer in being happily independent, and it's really nice to see Lindsay back on track and being so positive.

Ahhhh shes terribly skinny
Ahhhh shes terribly skinny O_O..did I feel a bit of hostility? or was it just me?Maybe extra care is more like it though right? -pardon me Im having a monolgue haha- Lol. And I agree with the person above me, that question about them getitng back together, I went oh uh. I Love LiLo though! sad to see her going thru all this, ill always be a fan no matter what :D

Let it Rock,Let it roll
bless...
good on Lindsay to go on ellen and to hear her side and to hear her say that she is accepting that things need to change and to focus back on her career. It's been far too long not seeing her in a good movie. By the sounds of it the majority of people are wishing her health, luck and positivity - so is it only the tabloids and press who are trying to make her look like some total car crash and how bad she's doing everything? Just goes to show how messed up the press can be, if only we could do just one mahoosive clean up and portray nothing but positivity, happiness and goodness...if only.
Now off subject - How weird do Linsday's legs look in that still!?! Frickin freaks me out, how does her foot do that...first thing I noticed but thought I'd watch the clip first lol. Anyway - good to see her getting back in the groove - let's hope that film is a good one!!
lindsay!
I really like Lindsay, I hope she does get back to work, doing some fun, breathtaking movies. She is bloody talented. I dunno if i should believe everything she said to Ellen, but i certainly want to. She made such a good couple with Sam!
Anabella!
Dos cosas
Lindsay needs an out-of-town rebound, and a decent movie role.
Moleskine dreams
Um...can we say..
'anorexia'?!
I don't follow Lindsay and Sam so I've no idea what the 'big, breakup night' involved.. (and I'm not particularly bothered). Good luck to her though.. I hope she starts eating properly!
Similar to Britney Spears
Humanity of the celebs
My heart really goes out to Lindsay.
I think that some people let themselves forget that celebrities are people too. They get criticized and slandered, their flaws become their defining characteristics, but they are just people.
I also wish Lindsay the best.
She Made A Good.............
I agree with Lindsay when she said, "you forget who you are and it starts being about the other person." I hope that she finds the love and support she needs to get herself together. I think she made a good choice in allowing Ellen to be the person she opened up to. Not because she's a Lesbian, but Ellen is one of those people who seems really sincere and not a host (like many others) who would exploit the situation for ratings. It's obvious, and clearly understandable why Lindsay would be.
"Ok, I'll stop you if you're talking to much, but right now it's not enough."

LMAO....Ellen is so F***ing funny. I love her.

TALENTED LADIES
Hahah I was thinking the same thing but you word it better. I was waiting for Linds to be on Ellen and I am glad it happened at this time. Wouldn't mind hearing Sam's side of the story. Best of luck to them both, they are both talented ladies.
Good Luck Lindsay
Ya I think she did say that
For some weird reason, the
For some weird reason, the moment where Lindsay says she loves Samantha was cut from the version that aired on tv.
Check out the 4.03 mark on this clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mkYbZSdQpQ
Anyway, I wish her nothing but the best. I don't think she's received the support she's deserved from the GLBT community which is a real shame. But here we have a 22 year old "starlet" openly discussing her breakup with a woman she states that she loves in an interview with a lesbian host on a syndicated daytime talkshow. Lindsay is blazing her own trail that's for sure.
I've got my fingers crossed that the rest of this year is going to be kinder to her than the first portion was.
Wow
Part of me believes that Lindsay wasn't entirely truthful, and Ellen saw right through it.
Another part of me thinks Ellen is that older aunt you have that's already seen the world is trying to warn you from making the same mistakes.
The last part of me wishes I would stop reading into gossip. Sigh, shall I start a Gossipers Annonymous meeting?
While I'm sure she omitted
While I'm sure she omitted certain things, I think she was pretty much truthful with what she did say (at least from her perspective). It pretty much fits with hacked twitter postings suggesting she didn't know where Samantha was in the week leading up to the party and with Samantha's comments via her lawyer that the enquiries made by her mother and sister about a restraining order were absurd and without any merit as she didn't feel at all at risk.
I think she's a bit embarrassed about the Us Weekly interview and so glossed over that a little bit definitely.
It's true
this
this interivew made me think shes either sooooo sweet n wears her heart on her sleeve or that she a really good actress n played the sympathy card anyways how do they still talk with a restraing order if some1 did that 2 me ill probably never talk 2 them again
There was never an actual
There was never an actual restraining order. Samantha's mother and sister went to enquire about one in a rather overly public manner while Samantha was out of town at a gig. On her return, Samantha was quick to issue a statement saying that the whole thing was absurd, that there was no basis for a restraining order and that she didn't feel at all under threat. Of course by that point all of the gossip sites had run with the story.
I'm embarrassed I know this much about it for what it's worth.
I know
I like Lindsay.
Loved this interview!
Lindsay!
I've always thought she was beautiful... and she's family so no smack talking family. LOL But I hope she's not doing drugs -- or at least has stopped, because she's looking WAY too skinny.

Lets focus on the positive.
Lets focus on the positive. This is like the gayest episode ever. Two women, sitting side by side, talking about their girlfriend and ex girlfriends.
I think the only way to beat that will be Rachel Maddow being interviewed by Ellen. HEH.
So true! It's nice to hear
yes!!!
Aww dude :\ so glad to hear
i have never been that in to lindsay
but I feel for her, I hope that she really is turning over a new leaf. She seem so sad. I think that this is her first real heartbreak and she is feeling every bit of it. I think that she is reaching out to everyone asking for help and I think that we should all not judge her and just wish her the best. I mean this is something that should be privite and she has to go throught it with everyone watch, that can't be easy. I think that it is huge that she can see that she did lose herself in that relationship. That will help her to get back to who she is, and she will get back on track
But I think that Ellen is giving her great advice and i hope that she listen and take it.
Lindsey i wish you all the best and believe me when this is all over and you weather this storm, you WILL BE A BETTER, STRONGER PERSON!!
I loved Lindsay since the Parent Trap.
She is just a fantastic actress but clearly she wasn't acting on the show. I sincerely hope she gets through this and gets herself, and her career, back on track. Ellen was fantastic, a wonderful mentor that we all love to follow. I hope that Lindsay and Samantha get back together, they are quite a cute couple!
i've always liked lindsay
i've always liked lindsay, despite all the media hype about her. she always seemed like a really sweet, genuine person, and i think she's one of the most talented young actress around, right up there with kristen stewart and evan rachel wood. i feel so bad for her though, she seems so sad about this whole thing and like she's just trying to appear happy to keep the tabloids at bay. she seemed so happy with sam, and if you watch the interview on youtube, she says that she loves sam, which appears to have been edited out. and i love that she went on ellen to talk about it. i think it was definitely the right choice, both from a publicity standpoint and for her personally. and yes, she does look thin, but she's always been skinny, and she just got dumped very publicly. it's not surprising that she looks very thin. it's what usually happens when people break up after a serious relationship.
i wish her the best of luck with everything, and i'm looking forward to seeing what's next for her career. i'm rooting for you lindsay!!
the more I heard, the more
...
I don't know why but I
You are not the only one.
I have honestly never liked her, and I cannot figure out why. Just something about her bothers me a great deal.
However, that was touching and a bit familar. The whole big breakup thing. I'm sure most people have had that experience.
I would not mind seeing Sam's side though. Partly because all I seem to see and hear is Lindsey's side. But also because I'm always drooling over Sam. :)
omg...
she looked so unhealthy... =( I wish she'll gain weight.
i've always loved Lindsay Lohan, i heart her in "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls"
I wish her the best in her career.
Looking
dude, i love lindsay!
i really hope she gets her career going again! not to say i didnt love 'I Know Who Killed Me' cause i did. (c'mon. lohan stripping? YES PLEASE!) but i would like to see her on top again. hollywood is brutal and maybe when she's on top the haters will silence. cause right now all im hearing is how out-of-control she is. so what. just let her live already!

i thought this interview
i thought this interview was so awkward- like really uncomfy to watch, but you can't stop watching...
it would be nice if everytime a lesbian had a break up she could go talk it up with ellen... :)
I didn't know...
I didn't know Lindsay has such a deep and rough voice. That makes her even cuter in my eyes. I also didn't know she is friends with Natalie Portman. Well, that is good! I like the idea of the two of them.
And as everybody said, I think Ellen did a great job. She was kind, she was friendly, she was very supportive and careful at the same time. She really comforted her and said some great and precisely choosed comments on Lindsays and Sams relationship.
I wish her all the best. She will get through it, even if public breakups are the hardest ones. I'm sure she'll get back on track.
I love her voice o.O The
I love her voice o.O
The whole interview seemed very honest. Like she hadn't gone in there knowing what she was going to say. She just talked like she was having a conversation, not an interview on TV.
That was pretty alright.
Sexy as hell
It's a hot combination of smoking and asthma. She can call me anytime!
*I need buddies!*
lol
A bunch of anorexia experts
A bunch of anorexia experts on this website! Way to set back the feminist movement! Her body is no one's business really.
And Ellen? Thanks Ellen. You potentially have on the hottest lesbian in history and you are a moron with the questions and the comments. You barely let the girl speak. This interview had no substance or squalor for that matter.
This Was A Poor Choice...
okay so i get that Lids wants to clear up some of the "rumors" about her and Sam, but this was brutal to watch! I mean, blah. Ellen shouldn't have let her come on; it wasn't funny AT ALL, and i felt like Lids just did this to get some face time. She didn't even promote anything (other than "some projects in the works")! She should just go on a vacation or something cause she looked lost and confused...
***No, you came out wrong...shut it DOWN!***
I agree
Team Lohan
Awh, I like Lindsay.
She has her faults but so do many people and I kind of like her better for them. Why are people giving either of them crap about the interview. Of course Lindsay wasn't promoting anything - she hasn't produced anything lately. Why should she have to be promoting something for her to go on a chat show? Personally, I get sick of hearing people plug things constantly and actually enjoyed the fact that she was just there to have a chat. Yeah, she might have done it to get herself back on the radar with air time but she needs to revive her career somehow. And considering she never went on TV and came out with the fact that Sam was her girlfriend, I think it was quite brave of her to sit there and acknowledge full-on that they were a couple and that things have been hard. Some of you say it looked 'uncomfortable' - well of course it did! She's in front of millions of people talking not just about a break-up, but a lesbian break-up in a society in which lesbianism is still considered somewhat taboo.
I'll stop ranting - it's not as if I know the girl...I just find her to be really interesting and believe it or not, down to earth. Not down to earth in the 'rational, grounded way', but in the way that i feel that she's just like any of us - She has problems, makes mistakes, tries to learn...does what she can in each situation.
I'm her age and I can say I've had my fare share of slip-ups too - It doesn't make you a bad person - you just have to try and learn.
YEAH
22 is so young...
i can't imagine myself having gone on that show at age 22. seriously, i was a big time out-of-control party mess! so i have to cut her a break. i do think she is talented. i hope she can take a little vacation and do some healthy things for herself. she needs someone grounded in her life---ellen should be her fairy godmother. lol
i still hope she will do some gay-friendly project soon.
