Is Lindsay Lohan really asking the Russian government for a 1-year visa?

FFN_Fawaz_Follies_CHP_080916_52143953

We haven’t heard much of anything from Lindsay Lohan in a few weeks. She gave an exclusive interview to the Daily Mail about the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of Egor Tarabasov, who was then her fiancé. That was the first week of August, and the interview took place after Lindsay had fled London for Sardinia. As far as I know, she’s either still in Sardinia or somewhere close up, but she doesn’t seem to be back in London or America. I think we would have heard about that. So, considering that Lindsay already “gave away” her first exclusive interview about Egor, the abuse and her engagement, what else is there to say? Well, someone thinks there’s a lot more for her to say. And that someone works for a state-run TV channel in Russia. Someone on Russian TV is about to be shaken down for a lot of stuff just to interview Lindsay Lohan. Guess what, Russia? It’s not worth it.

Lindsay Lohan is trying to be a tougher negotiator against Russia than either Clinton or Trump could ever be … because she’s demanding a queen’s ransom for an interview on Ruski TV. We’ve learned Lindsay was offered to appear on the most popular talk show in Russia — “Pust govoryat.” The show airs on Channel 1, a state-owned station. The host wants to interview her about her relationship and breakup with ex-fiance Egor Tarabasov. Our Russian spies got us a copy of Channel 1’s letter to Lindsay, in which they say, “Please send the list of demands.”

Lindsay sent her demands alright …
— a private jet
— security
— 1 year Russian visa with extension
— 500,000 British pounds
— hair, makeup and manicurist onboard jet
— Ritz-Carlton penthouse suite

Oh, and one other thing. She wants to meet with President Vladimir Putin and get photos with him. We’re told Lindsay is negotiating and some of the demands have been met.

Lindsay asking for a private plane is like me asking for French fries: it inevitably happens whenever I leave my house. Asking for a private plane with a full hair, makeup and nail team on board is sort of hilarious though. The penthouse suite is a meh request – obviously, Lindsay still thinks she’s the biggest star in the world – and the request for “500,000 British pounds” is obviously just the start point of a negotiation. But “one year Russian visa with extension” is flat-out fascinating, isn’t it? Does Lindsay want to move to Russia on a more permanent basis? Does she think Russia will offer her more business opportunities? Um… I find this all very sketchy, the idea of Lohan-in-Russia. I have this image of Lohan being used for propaganda purposes for a short time, until Russia kicks her out of the country for all of her crack drama.

    Now girl, bringing your mess to Russia could be the very last thing you’ll ever do. Careful with that.

  2. grabbyhands says:

    Perhaps she is hoping to widen her circle of potential “benefactors” by going to Russia.

    • ladysussex says:

      Yes! I think she’s confusing “Russia” with the Russians she’s met while working the yacht circuits.

  3. HH says:

    Are these recent pictures?! She looks great here. Definitely looks like she’s been through some stuff, but her face looks normal. Also, wealthy Russians overspend on a lot of things. I’d probably make some exorbitant request too.

    • minx says:

      Really? I think she looks puffy and hard. She’s only 30.

    • FingerBinger says:

      Great is pushing it. She doesn’t look sticky.

    • Erinn says:

      Great by cracken standards, rough by ‘every day’ standards. Her face looks healthier than it has in a while now.

    • the_blonde_one says:

      I was going to say ‘fragile’ (fragile code for lost a lot of weight really quickly, very pale and frankly, I think girl looks scared(?) or… something).

      • Wiffie says:

        I think she’s pale because she’s a pale ivory, freckled redhead and she finally stopped overdoing ridiculous orange self tanner, which is a good thing. She should embrace her complexion!

      • Bread and Circuses says:

        She looks physically prettier than she often has (maybe because she slimmed down), but her eyes look so comatose. She’s on something?

  4. justme says:

    and this slag will probably get everything she wants, as usual. I don’t believe a word that comes out of her mouth and that kissy face annoys me no end.

  5. Chelsey says:

    The Cracken takes the Kremlin!

  6. paolanqar says:

    I wouldn’t take Russia so lightly if I was her.
    She thinks she’s still a star.. poor thing.

  7. Why is there always someone willing to pay this woman money? It’s amazing! Really, truly, mindbogglingly amazing.

    • vaultdweller101 says:

      It’s kind of like Tara Reid. From cute, pretty girl to cracked out hooker for international businessmen. Sad, but totally inexplicable. There have got to be prettier, cleaner, better pro escorts out there to choose from?

      • greenmonster says:

        In Lindsay’s case it could be more about who she was and what she represents. YEARS ago she was a child/teen star. It might be very possible that some (very sick) men fulfill there dreams by…uhm booking her.
        Others might not see the child star in her, but the once successful American actress and it gives them a kick to pay for her now.

    • justme says:

      Same here. She’s been living this luxe lifestyle for years yet she has no money. I’d like an apartment in Knightsbridge, shop at Chanel and spend my summers yachting around Europe.

  8. Betti says:

    Probably plus isn’t Putin single? She needs a new wealthy sugar daddy, sorry client, after the last one dumped her.

    • Belle Epoch says:

      Lindsay had better not mess with Wendy Deng! Now she’s playing with fire. Russian oligarchs are not known for their sense of humor. Putin can’t even smile.

  9. Lora says:

    HahahahHahahahaha oh cracken

  10. Clare says:

    Either this list is made up, or her management (or whoever produced that list) are completely clueless. On what planet can a TV station provide a 1 year visa? The MOST they can do is provide a sponsorship/invitation letter, and then its up to the embassy to which she applies to determine whether she gets a visa and its conditions/length.

    • ladysussex says:

      “The show airs on Channel 1, a state-owned station.” Many Russian TV stations are owned and run by the government. The government issues visas.

  11. Beebee says:

    I think we’re ignoring the bigger ask here for a meeting “with President Vladimir Putin” for “photos.” She has an agenda for more than 500,000 British pounds.

    • ladysussex says:

      Do tell? Do you think she wants to get with Putin? Or she thinks having photos with him will give her some credibility?

  12. ell says:

    gerard depardieu also moved to russia, got citizenship, then called it ‘a very democratic country lol

  13. Anna says:

    Well, I’m from Russia, and that show is like a bad soap happening in real life all in one hour (think “I’ve never met my Mom, and my Dad is a junkie in jail, and I’ve been brought up by my Grandma, and now she abused me and kicked me out of my apartment,” to which the show, after half an hour of a screaming match, says “We found your Mom, and she’s in this studio right now, and btw, your Dad is not who you think he is, and you’ll find out more after the commercials”).
    The title can be translated as “Let them speak,” and it’s known for rehashing scandalous stories. It’s not so often, though, that they get a celebrity scandal, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they gave her everything she wants just to get her to appear on the show.

    • swak says:

      Shows just like Maury Povich and Jerry Springer here! I wonder if daddy will allow it to happen. I can’t see Egor being slammed on tv.

  14. Zuzus Girl says:

    We have all been so stupid and blind. She has been a trained CIA opperative this whole time and drunken ex mediocre actor has been the cover to get close to Putin. (Smacks forehead!) Why didn’t we see that before?

  15. Bobafelty says:

    All tv and newspapers are state-controlled in Russia (see what happens to any reporter who writes a negative piece on Putin).

    I also think being a kept woman is much more culturally acceptable there, so it makes sense. This ‘demand’ reads more like an advertisement of expected payment for a wealthy Russian to keep her.

    • Anna says:

      Aren’t those Real Housewives shows the very definition of cultural acceptance of “kept women”?
      And I’ve never yet met anyone who wants to be one, they’re normally seen as ridiculous and stupid, and there are whole parody shows revolving around that concept.

      • Bridget says:

        Not really. At this time most of the Real Housewives are on the show to try to hawk their own wares. They’re on it for the exposure for something or other.

    • Sasha says:

      Being a kept woman isn’t really a Russian thing, and it is not more acceptable there. My guess would be that higher percentage of Russian women work compared to the Western countries.
      During the USSR times it was illegal not to work, for anyone, women with children included. Everyone of legal age had to have a job.
      Some stereotypes about Russia come as a real surprise.

  16. EscapedConvent says:

    That list of demands is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen. I wonder if she will get those things. She seems to be hustling even harder than usual. Nothing stops her.

    Her appearance on that show woulkd be even more entertaining if Igor is brought out from backstage with a rebuttal.

    • Anna says:

      Knowing that show, I’m 99.9% sure he will be. Or there will be at least some form of response from him – taped phone call, video call, email, anything.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Hmmm…..the plot thickens. Thank you, Anna. In anticipation, I will hold my breath until I turn blue or Lindsay turns up on that show. Sometimes I actually admire her hustle, even though she’s a mess. She has spent the summer sailing around the Mediterranean, for heaven’s sake. She must be more clever than we think. 😒

      • Madisyn says:

        Lil Boris hasn’t ONCE said ‘boo’ to the media about Blohan, either during or after the break up. I don’t expect that to change now. . .

  17. Mia4S says:

    Hahahahahaha!! Yeah, OK.

    I wonder, is someone from the station leaking this to show how absurd she is or is she leaking this trying to show how “in demand” she is? The delusion is so strong with this one I’m not sure.

    Is Egor’s family “big” enough in Russia for this to be worthwhile? I got the impression they were rich but hardly oligarchy. Would Russians even care?

    • Anna says:

      Haven’t ever heard about him or his family before this whole LiLo thing. And yes, I’m afraid Russians would care, not because of him, but because of her and her American celebrity status.

  18. Pandy says:

    Get a bra and wear it Lindsay!

  19. Erica_V says:

    The pictures of her above are from a very recent birthday party of which she sat next to Harvey Weinstein…. since then she’s been “vacationing” with “friends” on two different yachts.

    This one moves fast.

    • Betti says:

      Considering her lifestyle, alleged habits and having no money she has to. Not sure if she’s still financially supporting her mother and siblings – she was for a long time.

    • Wvie says:

      How on earth does Lindsay get seated next to Harvey? Or did she just plonk herself down?!

  20. Barbara says:

    Can she get a Russian passport is the question, with her arrest record. My g-daughter was invited to Moscow and the Russian Embassy checked her background before issuing her one.

    • Madisyn says:

      She was in Russia last year or late 2014 under the guise of seeing the Grand Prix races when in actuality she’s was “working”. . .so not a issue.

  21. CoolNewName says:

    They should start a Go Fund Me for buying Lindsay Lohan a one way plane ticket to Russia. There are people who would donate and some might even be willing to lend them a plane.

  22. Bread and Circuses says:

    Bet she wants to stalk and harass Egor.

    The Cracken ain’t nice. The Cracken keeps her hooks in.

  23. Debutante says:

    She needs a boob lift already and she hasn’t even had kids and she’s what, 30??

  24. Christianna says:

    Sketchy as hell.

  25. JenniferJustice says:

    I know we ask this question all the time, and I kind of get it – that foreign men are impressed with the likes of LaLohan simply because she’s youngish, is/was an actress, and all that, but honestly, it seems like the fascination is pretty much with her being American. I don’t even think we have the best looking women. THAT I don’t get. They could have any paid escort – Italian, French, Russian….why do they want an American and some mediocre-looking embarrassment at that? Even among the American escorts, there are plenty that are better looking and not quite as psycho as Lindsay. I just don’t get the fascination.

    Is she still carrying around a Koran now that she’s no longer with Egor? *snort*
