An extended promo for the much-talked about Lindsay Lohan, Oprah Winfrey one-on-one has just been released.

The troubled actress and tabloid regular will sit down with the queen of day-time talk for an interview that will center on Lohan’s substance abuse, legal infractions and recent rehabilitation.

The 30-second second clip does not show any of Lohan’s responses, but does feature the Canyons actress wearing a bright orange dress that juxtaposes her somber expression. 

Oprah’s no-holds-bar approach to questioning is evident when she asks: “What’s going to be different his time?” and “What do you know abut yourself now that you wish you had known six rehabs ago?”

In a previous special, Oprah similarly sat down with disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong, who was charged with a slew doping allegations. 

Lohan’s interview will be seen on Oprah’s Next Chapter, which will air Aug 18 on OWN.

“Blurred Lines” has been called many things: song of the summer, “rapey” and now… feminist?

In an appearance on NBC’s the Today Show, R&B singer Robin Thicke defended the title track of his sixth studio album, saying, “It’s actually a feminist movement within itself. It’s saying that women and men are equals as animals and as power.” He continued, “It doesn’t matter if you’re a good girl or a bad girl, you can still have a good time.

The song, which features T.I. and Pharrell, has been accused of having misogynistic undertones, while the accompanying music video, with its use of scantily clad female models, has also fallen under media scrutiny.

In a May interview with GQ, Thicke only made matters worse when he was asked about the controversy and jokingly responded with: “What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman.”

“The idea was when we made this song, we had nothing but the most respect for women,” explained Thicke to Today hosts Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. “For us, we were just trying to make a funny song and sometimes the lyrics can get misconstrued when you’re just trying to put people on the dance floor and have a good time.”

Before performing “Blurred Lines” live on the early-morning news program, Thicke added, “We had no idea that it would stir this much controversy. We only had the best intentions.”

June “Mama June” Shannon, 33, and Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson, 41, exchanged vows on Sunday, May 5, in their backyard in Georgia.

The blushing bride opted for a non-traditional camouflage and orange tulle wedding gown, while her daughter, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, followed the ostentatious color scheme in an orange and hot pink ruffled gown.

Shannon and Thompson met nine years ago in an online chat room. Though Honey Boo Boo is their only child together, Shannon has three other daughters from past relationships.

People reports that the reality stars will not say whether or not they are now legally married or just “recommitted” to each other.

Keeping with the “redneck” wedding theme, the happy couple rode off into the Georgian sunset atop a mud-crusted ATV.

The wedding will air on a future episode of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” which is set to return to TLC in July.
