[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.

Pam and Tommy fall in love, and the whole world comes along for the ride.

From the minute her dad took office, Ivanka and her business affairs have been at the center of controversy. Even though Ivanka removed herself from her Ivanka Trump fashion company when she entered the White House as a formal Adviser in 2017, she was forced to close the brand in Summer of 2018 due to continuing questions of conflicts of interest. Brands such as Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Gilt dropped her products after a boycott-Trump movement in backlash to the president's policies on… everything. Fair, unfair, for politics to take a toll on her business? To discuss all of this and more, Tabloid host Vanessa Grigoriadis sits down with writer Bethany McLean for a special bonus episode.
