JUST IN: Lindsay Lohan To Be Interviewed By Today Show’s Matt Lauer Thursday!

Lindsay Lohan will be interviewed on the Today show by Matt Lauer on Thursday, two days before she hosts Saturday Night Live.

Lindsay and Matt have a bit of a rocky history: She canceled at the last-minute an interview with him last June. He had already flown to Los Angeles to conduct the interview at Lindsay’s home in Venice, where she was on house arrest, forcing him to return to New York.

Lindsay also began rehearsals on Monday for SNL.
