First ideas: - Who sent Lohan to Zooey Deschanel's hairstylist? - Am I the only person transfixed through the plasticized morphing of her face in the face I figured she'd? - Seriously, I understand Kenan Thompson is within this bit too, however i can't. Stop. Looking. At Lohan. - Linds-sanity! What can Ben & Jerry put for the reason that flavor of frozen treats? - Glimmers from the comic timing I recall seeing in Lohan sometime ago. Encouraging! Anyway, I am setting my Digital recording device now. [NBC via LA Occasions]
