She has a history of bad behaviour and substance abuse and only just completed her stint in jail and rehab.
But Lindsay Lohan has clearly retained her sense of humour, judging by the skit she performed with stand-up comic and talk show host Chelsea Handler.
In the skit, Lindsay catches up with Chelsea, 35, backstage at the MTV Video Music Awards and lectures her on the perils of alcoholism.

'Have you been drinking?' Lindsay Lohan interrogates Chelsea Handler in their MTV Video Music Awards skit
Lindsay asks, 'Have you been drinking?'
When Chelsea denies it, Lindsay points out that the ankle bracelet she's wearing is beeping.
'Oh that just means my table's ready at the Cheesecake Factory,' says Chelsea.
This answer clearly incenses Lindsay, who slaps Chelsea on the face, yelling 'Wake up, Handler! Pull it together, you're a mess!
'Pull it together, Handler!' Lindsay doles out some tough love for VMA host Chelsea
'Do you think anyone wants to work with a drunk? Take it from me, they don't.'
After Chelsea agrees to behave herself, Lindsay slaps her on the behind and sends her off to begin her VMA hosting duties, warning the comic not to embarrass her.
Handler has developed a reputation for drinking and partying herself, as told in her books including Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea.

24-year-old Lindsay's sense of humour was commented on recently by her Machete co-star Jessica Alba.
Alba says: 'The fact that she can poke fun at herself - she's a brilliant actress.'
And she urged people to remember Lohan's career than than focus on her personal life.
She says: 'Mean Girls is a classic. It's so good. How can you ever forget that? I think people should probably focus more on someone's career and maybe less on someone's personal circumstances.
'It's nobody's business. Everyone goes through their own thing.'
