Tabloid Luminary

[In honor of what some have called a "Lohanaissance," we're bringing back this conversation from 2022 that looks back at LiLo's formative years. Enjoy.] Lindsay Lohan’s name has become synonymous with maladaptive child stardom, toxic tabloid culture, and the general trainwreckery of the mid-aughts—but it wasn’t always that way. Lena Dunham and Alissa Bennett unpack LiLo’s childhood, her precocious talent and early popularity, the media’s perverse fascination with her prepubescent body, and the beginnings of her Bad Behavior headlines which would drastically influence 2000s pop culture. Lena also shares moments throughout her youth and career during which her and Lilo’s paths have overlapped. For Part 2 of The Lindsay Lohan series on The C-Word, subscribe to the Luminary Channel of Apple Podcasts or directly on Luminary.

Pamela and Tommy’s sex tape goes from a safe in the woods to sex shops all over the country.

Old world porn bosses + internet upstarts = the celebrity sex tape phenomenon.
