Occasionally, I have myself a good long cackle when a celeb I can’t stand experiences flat-out failure. These moments include Paris Hilton’s legendary movie flop, Sanjaya’s fade into obscurity, and now a phenomenon that is quickly being named “Lohan fatigue.” It started with the unintentional comedy that was “I Know Who Killed Me,” and has culminated with the low ratings of Lindsay’s appearance on the hit ABC comedy “Ugly Betty.” Ratings for the show’s season finale were down over last year’s season finale, according to Nielsen.
Lindsay Lohan’s buzzed-about appearance as a Mean Girl from Betty’s past on Thursday’s season finale of Ugly Betty didn’t do much for the acclaimed ABC comedy, ratings-wise. The finale attracted about 8.8 million viewers, up only about 300,000 from the prior week’s episode yet down 16.2 percent from the Golden Globe winner’s 2007 finale.
Betty’s viewership was good enough for 17th place in the Nielsens, however, in what was another finale-laden week in a writers’ strike-stunted season. But Britney’s comeback turn on How I Met Your Mother still holds the title for show most helped by a reformed trainwreck.
But it doesn’t stop there. E! won’t admit this, of course, but the uber-repulsive Dina and Ali Lohan reality show, “Living Lohan,” isn’t exactly raking in the viewers either. In fact, the show was watched even less than its equally vomitrocious counterpart, “Denise Richards: It’s Complicated.” Damn – more hated that Denise Richards!
Denise Richards has won the E! reality series premiere showdown!
Denise Richards: It’s Complicated grabbed 1.5 million total viewers, while Living Lohan drew in 1.45 million total viewers.
Both shows launched back-to-back on Monday.
Let’s compare that to the season finale of ABC’s “Lost,” which drew in 12.2 million viewers. Fox’s mid-season replacement reality show, “So You Think You Can Dance,” had 9.3 million viewers. Even A&E’s crappy miniseries remake of the sci-fi classic “The Andromeda Stain” had more viewers-2.7 million- and that was with considerably less promotion.
What does this mean? I’d like to think it means that TV viewers are officially over the Lohans and want them off our TV and movies screens ASAP. But I could be wrong. Maybe everyone was just busy that night.
Lohan is shown walking to her car on 5/31/08, thanks to WENN.
I know I’m suffering from leggings fatigue.
I’ve started putting needles in 3 little dolls with their names on them if that’s what you mean.
People feel sorry for Britney but they don’t for Lohan. As mush as people make fun of Britney, I think they want her to get over her troubles. Her behavior seems to stem from emotional issues and I think people just think that Lohan is entitled and mean.
Jello.
This family epitomizes self-absorbtion. Sure, they were pretty entertaining at first, but now its clear just how ridiculous they are.
Exactly, Neelyo. No matter how entertaining Britney was, you still wanted her to do better. I find I’m hoping for the Lohans to do worse.
Then could we stop talking about her? M’kayThanksByeByeNow.
Amen UrbanRube, is she that depressed over missing leggings in the 80’s? Take that shit off already.
I’m sorry, but leggings make every outfit look like you’re headed to the gym, but couldn’t take the time for appropraite gym attire.
(Lindsay’s voice)”Having to change from my miniskirt for cardio used to really bum me out, until I found these leggings, now I can be gym ready in no time…every time!”
Leggings are horrid, stop wearing them, and certainly don’t try for your own line– how many directions are there to go with leggings anyway? C’mon.
What a stupid question to ask! Of course everyone is sick of the no talent creep. I don’t know where anyone ever got the idea that the general public EVER cared about her!
whats with the leggings thing? I mean, its not actually a fashion trend, its jsut a piece of clothing like a tee or whatever…so ppl do over use it sometimes but I tend to over use my skinny jeans too! so what?! thats what acessories are for, alright? lol
and I totally agree with mrs. Hutt on this one…I cant stand seeing posts about the L´Hoes anymore, and as from this one, am not commenting or reading it anymore! 😆
I am embarrassed to admit that i DID watch the first episode of LOSER LOHAN on E! and it was just AWFUL. that ALI beesh is about as ‘entitled’ as they come. and she THINKS she can SING. it was just AWFUL. I COULD DO BETTER carrying a tune that this kid. what is with these people? ‘i want to paint, so i’ll be a painter now’.. ‘ want to sing, so i’ll be a singer now’.. i want to act, so i’ll be an actor now..’it was awful. the mother is a total jerkwad..i won’t be watching anymore of this waste of film..
I think it’s broader than that. I think it’s Starlet Fatigue. For years we’ve heard endless updates about these girls who haven’t done anything since 2003 or so. Why? They aren’t interesting. Not one of them. And neither are their mothers.
I’m not watching Denise Richards’ show, either, but at least she had her own career. Dina Lohan? Please.
All I do not understand is how come her T-shirt looks te be sporting a faded look à la tie&dye in the first picture but then seems to be plain gray in the others.
That’s all I can still care about when it comes to the Lohans.
She should take her last $50,000 and go to college for a Theatre major for three-four years. It’s the only thing that’ll get her hired again eventually.
