Lindsay is doing the Barbara Walters interview to pay off her Chateau Marmont bill

You may remember that Lindsay Lohan was banned from Chateau Marmont back in August because she owed them $46,000 and refused to pay it. She claimed that the producers of her Elizabeth Taylor movie on Lifetime were supposed to cover it but, hold on to your hats, she was lying.

They are going to pay it now though, because, according to The Daily, in exchange for that, she'll do an interview with Barbara Walters, which will promote the movie.

With "Liz & Dick" set to air on Lifetime on Nov. 25, the producers need Lohan to promote the made-for-TV movie. "She had them over a barrel," one source told Flash. "She demanded that the hotel bill be cleared up." And it was.
Her interview with Walters, yet to be taped, is scheduled to air Nov. 16 on "20/20," and will delve into the dynamics of her dysfunctional family, including last Wednesday's 4 a.m. phone call to her father, Michael Lohan, where she accused her mother, Dina, of using cocaine.

This was not money well spent by Lifetime. All Lindsay is gonna say is that she doesn't party anymore, the tabloids lie about her, and all she wants is to work hard and be taken seriously as an actress. That's what she says every single time. And yet her face is flush in almost every picture she takes these days. So either she's still doing coke, or she was hanging upside down like a bat when they took the picture.
