Lindsay Lohan Set for Sit-Down Interview with Oprah, Lands Docu-Series on OWN

It turns out no one really can say no to Oprah.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the entertainment legend has landed an exclusive interview with Lindsay Lohan, who's currently serving a 90-day stint in rehab. But it doesn't stop there: Winfrey's network, OWN, has ordered an eight-episode docu-series which will follow the actress as she strives to maintain her health, and reclaim her former glory.

The interview, in the vein of Winfrey's sit-down with Lance Armstrong and Rihanna, will air in August. Lohan's series will debut in early 2014.

The news was confirmed earlier today by an OWN spokesperson: "OWN will air an exclusive interview with Oprah and Lindsay Lohan that will tape and air in August and an eight-part documentary series with Lindsay for 2014."
