Lindsay Lohan Big Bust For Oprah's Network

Oprah was counting on Lindsay Lohan being a ratings machine. As with so many things Lindsay, the machine was a bust. True, the episode with Lindsay got slightly more viewers than an average episode by about 50,000 viewers, but it was still well under 1M viewers. Rihanna, who is just Rihanna and has not spent her life in jail and rehab, although a trip to rehab could probably be beneficial, got five times as many viewers as Lindsay and Rihanna is not even the top ratings grabber. The top was Whitney Houston's family followed by Lance Armstrong. Those were always going to be ratings winners, so I think it is important to compare Lindsay to someone like Rihanna. Of course that is a disservice to Rihanna because Rihanna has talent.

    Enty, Rhianna has talent? Is being able to take a beating and going for seconds a talent?

    Good!

    And I'm sorry, but Rihanna doesn't have talent. All she does is walk around practically naked while wailing instead of singing.

    I think people just don't care about Lindsay...or Oprah, for that matter.

    Agree about Rhianna. I can't listen to her songs ever. I immediately turn the channel when she comes on. She screeches, whines, and wails.

    Rihanna has talent? Doing what? Coz it ain't singing. The only talent on her songs is autotune.

    Has having Lindsey appear ever profited anyone? I guess Oprah really did think that she was the be all To end all.

    @Christina, Rhianna is amazingly talented. A world class voice. no need to trample on that.

    And, don't understand why anyone would think that people would want to see LL. she's not a big star. she's just famous now for her bad behavior.

    @Annabella because Rihanna is known as a paragon of virtue?

    Rihanna gives hope to all pretty, talentless girls everywhere. Lindsay is just a worthless f***-up.

    Rihanna does indeed have talent. She knew exactly who to fuck, and how to fuck, to get to the top.

    I think Oprah's channel is in the high 200 on my cable system. That equates to no one knowing it is even there. Oprah would have done better with a YouTube channel, cause the over head would have been less.

    I think the Big O has to give up on this network thing. It does not look promising, no matter how many ways she tries to spin it. She should go live on her Hawaiian mountain and relax with Gayle.

    I can't tell if Rhianna has talent or not. Her voice is so filtered and auto-tuned that I liken it to someone running their thumbnail down the ridged string of an out of tune guitar.

    People are numb from hearing about Lindsay's problems. Anything of interest out of interviews with her will always end up on some half hour entertainment show. Plus, even in small quantities Oprah's interviews are tedious.

    I read on another site that the ratings were much higher---alot of conflicting stories regarding number of viewers----regardless people are still talking about it so O and LL both got what they wanted.

    Rihanna is self destructive but no matter what she has enough brains and beauty to keep the cash coming in and the #1 singles despite her lack of a voice. She is all image and she knows that and keeps the hit machine going despite her huge problems. She is clearly on the edge but she has never been arrested, never mowed down a baby in a stroller and as of this minute her face isn't fucked up.No one is interested in watching Oprah kiss Lilo's bottom and gloss over all of the crappy things she has done. Yes Mean Girls was awesome but that was all Tina Fey. Besides that all the talk of Lindsay's talent is just smoke up her ass.

    Oprah deserves everything she has coming to her. Lindsey too, in a different way.

    The fact that it's Lindsay aside, we have WAY TOO MANY options nowadays to be forced to watch Oprah and 20/20 and shit like that. We can even turn off the TV so we don't have to watch any of that shit. Oprah has to do better to grab our attention than LL, RiRi, Whitney, etc.
    The internet/streaming will be Oprah's downfall. Women are working again and no one is watching Oprah. It's time for all of them to go away.

    The biggest mistake Oprah made was giving up her tv show.

    Everyone knows Lindsay does nothing but lie. There would be no point to an interview with her because you would learn nothing. Also I have no clue what channel Oprah is on. Having her own network was a big mistake.

    She would have been better off doing a favorite things episode.

    Lindsay has talent. She can suck the sap out of a tree. Ask the sand niggers she fucks and sucks for money. Lindsay is all about cash for gash.

    um Rih-rih is a talentless junkie who soon enough won't be able to keep up with her activities. Lohan was talented- she was the go between Disney club kids and the new style of breeding Disney kids stars. She was good in the parent trap and did a couple of other things before mean girls. They both should be locked up somewhere. They both have parental issues and need to seek professional help before they snort, smoke, drink, and p*&& themselves to death.

    Enty take back your claws! Are you jealous of Lilo? Or are you getting free clothes from River Island and you do not want to mess up your cash cow from Riri?

    Riri's major talent seems to be taking her clothes off,not singing.Just like Gaga.They both walk around mostly naked all the time trying to attract attention.

    The industry doesn't realize what the average citizen's do, she's just a cautionary tale now and no one cares to hear her lies about her massive 12 year coke binge anymore. Other better actresses worked hard, stayed sober have Lilo 's career now.

    I'm not much of a fan of Rihanna but cannot deny she is breathtakingly beautiful and her success pretty much speaks for itself. Is her success due to people behind the scenes pulling the strings? Well, if she has the same success in the industry after she turns 30 we will know the answer to that.

    Lindsey Lohan is a washed-up entitled druggie in desperate need of a bra. People are interested in her due to her career meltdown being so public. She has missed her cue to get her sh*t together. The sad ratings are a result of people quickly losing interest in her train wreck of a life and the fact there was much better programming on other networks.

    I watch OWN on Sunday mornings, I admit to enjoying Super Soul Sundays. Ilyana is off the hook too. :) But I don't really like the other programming or the celebrities Oprah interviews. Maybe if she got Lauryn Hill or Dave Chappelle on there, that would be cool.

    I do watch some things on OWN--I like Lisa Ling's show and I do watch some of O's interviews but I forgot this was on and frankly Sunday has Breaking Bad and Dexter and Ray Donovan AND the Real Housewives so my DVR is busy.

    Lately I have been watching less OWN because they play Tyler Perry's shows over and over and I think they are pretty bad--so I missed seeing any promos.

    I probably will watch if I see it is repeating. I watch the overnight Dateline shows sometimes if I can't sleep.
