Lindsay Lohan made headlines last week for her interview on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno -- days before it even taped.
The actress, who stars as Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime's upcoming movie Liz & Dick, pulled out of a much-hyped interview with Barbara Walters that was to air last week on ABC's 20/20.

Walters later told viewers of The View that she was "disappointed" about the cancellation, especially as Lohan had then granted an interview with Leno. When co-host Whoopi Goldberg told Walters that she was a "very different kind of interviewer" than Leno -- implying that he would not ask any tough questions -- Walters replied: “I couldn’t agree more."
In the taping for Tuesday's Tonight Show, Leno asked Lohan about the incident, saying Walters looked "a little ... upset."
"So I heard," Lohan replied. Asked why she pulled out of the interview, Lohan said: "It's just, the timing wasn't right, right now. I love her, and I'm a big fan of Barbara Walters. I met her when I was very young, and when it's right, she knows she'll be the first person I sit down with."

Lohan added that she hasn't spoken to Walters herself. However, "it's all good," she said. "I spoke to her people she works with."
