This weekend’s episode of Living Lohan on E! featured what it seemed like the show was going to be about initially – what life is like as a Lohan.

While Ali is working on her music and career, the reality is that because she still goes to school like any other wealthy 14 year old, she gets teased and has to deal with a lot than any other wealthy 14 year old because of her sister Lindsay’s celebrity. Tonight, the show gave an example of how her sister’s celebrity has affected the teenager’s life as some “Mean Girls” from Ali’s high school told Ali to “stop trying to be like your sister” and asked if her if she was “going to rehab” like her older sister and role model.

It was actually very sad to see Ali get teased because she really looks up to her older sister, who has been filling tabloid headlines of late with rumors of her possible romance with best friend Samantha Ronson. Ironically, Mom Dina Lohan kept making references to Mean Girls

, the movie that truly broke Lindsay Lohan into super stardom, when referring to these girls who say malicious things to Ali in school.

Ali handled it all well, but this was definitely the most interesting thing that the show has covered so far, much like when Keeping Up with the Kardashians talked about their relationship with their late father. I think that we’ve all come to grips with the idea that reality TV is more semi-scripted reality TV than anything, but there are some glimpses of reality in there that help us understand these people that fill our DVRs every week.

Although Ali was the only White girl there and looked a little out of place in what looked to be more of an urban program, she found some clarity at a performing arts program called IMPACT – despite being followed by a small gang of paparazzi upon arrival. I don’t think that this will become a regular part of her life, but it would definitely make for good TV to see Ali become a part of the IMPACT community, which looked to be all African-American and much more gospel and hip-hop oriented than you’d think Ali is at first glance.

It was kind of cool that Dina brought Ali there, but unfortunately, I’m almost positive that her involvement with the program for positivity through the arts will be a one time thing on the show.

Next week, Michael Lohan Jr., Lindsay’s younger brother and Ali’s older brother, comes home with his girlfriend. Michael Lohan was in high school while Lindsay was reaching her peaks of superstardom, so he’s more than familiar with life as a Lohan as we know it.

Seeing as Ali has thrust herself into the paparazzis’ eyes as made obvious by the throngs of paparazzi that followed her around in tonight’s episode, it will be interesting to see how Michael handles being just a guy in college who has one of the most well-known faces on the planet as a sister.

We’re still waiting on a Lindsay sighting on the show, but clearly, her influence on the family is something that will be felt regardless of if there is a cameo this season.

Living Lohan this week was a lesson in celebrity gossip for new producer on the block Jeremy Greene, who is producing a track for Ali’s demo. After misspeaking to the tabloids, Jeremy found himself in the center of a rumor that said that he was dating Lindsay Lohan. This news came as a surprise to the Lohans, who knew that Jeremy had never met the most famous of the Lohan clan.

It was time for a little Gossip 101 for Jeremy, courtesy of mom Dina Lohan

, who admitted that she knew nothing about Hollywood just a few years before.

It appears as though Jeremy will be playing a sizable role on Living Lohan and he’s actually a pretty interesting character to have on the show. It does seem a little weird that he has such a prominent role, despite the fact that he’s technically only producing one song for Ali’s demo so far, but he gives the show a different angle, albeit a weird one.

After dodging a potential disaster from an electrical fire in the house while Dina was out at an event, Ali and Jeremy discussed which track she’d be recording with him in Vegas after it appeared as though all hard feelings were gone from the LiLo rumor. Jeremy was back in the inner circle, though Ali continued to say that she doesn’t trust anyone other than her family, a little cynical for a 14 year old, isn’t it? However, most girls her age didn’t grow up with an older sister filling the tabloids.

Two episodes in, Living Lohan is really an interesting paradox in so many ways. You have the maturity and business sense of Dina Lohan going up against up with the teenage behavior and natural immaturity of Ali Lohan as she tries to shape her career and really, her life.

Mom Dina believes in Ali and helps guide her career, but she says that she’s more concerned with giving Ali the opportunity to have a regular life. Ali says that she wants to be just like older sister Lindsay, but we haven’t seen or heard from the older Lohan daughter so far that shows the bond between the two, which I’d love to see.

Ali is a little abrasive, but it’s just because she’s very opinionated. It doesn’t seem like there’s too much where Ali is middle of the road and it wouldn’t make sense for her to have her own reality show otherwise.

In next week’s episode, it looks like we’re going to see some of what “regular life” is like for Ali – school, friends, and what comes with the territory of being a Lohan. Something tells me that this part of the story will be more interesting than watching Ali listen to random tracks in the house.
