LiLo’s Image Rebranding on Glee, Did It Work?

Nothing beats a better comeback than this! Lindsay Lohan will be playing the role of Lindsay Lohan for this week’s Glee episode definitely reminds us that she’s a twelve-time Teen Choice Award nominee and is in full-on “image rebranding mode,” which of course, is why she said yes to do a guest appearance in the Fox musical series in the first place. So how was everything else? Well, after all the hoopla about her appearance in the show, it was a big disappointment to only have her included for such a short time frame. Specifically, the two minutes and 46 seconds required for her to do one big scene with her fellow guest stars Rex Lee and Perez Hilton. Here are some of her, almost amusing lines in the television series. But since you've seen her, check this one out and watch Glee Season 3 Episode 22: Goodbye online this coming May 22, 2012. 

 Still, she was given a couple of semi-amusing lines.

“I show up here and there isn’t even a red button I can push and a chair that can spin me around where I can then point at a kid onstage and say, ‘I want to work with you’?” she complained in a blatant reference to ”The Voice. “I’m seriously firing my manager.

And she delivered those lines adequately, although, as was the case when she recently hosted “Saturday Night Live,” she didn’t necessarily sell them. She was helped by the fact that she shared screen time with Hilton, who was totally irritating and used every opportunity possible (with an assist from the “Glee” writers) to promote his blog. Then again, a person can never see the words LILO ALERT in a hot-pink, all-caps font nearly enough, can she?

In conclusion, on the “Glee” cameo appearance spectrum, Lohan was not in anything resembling the same league as Gwyneth Paltrow and Kristen Chenoweth, but not nearly as annoying as Perez Hilton. Her image probably hasn’t been rebranded, but it also hasn’t been tarnished either. So ... mission accomplished?
