Living Lohan: Mean Girls – Ali Lohan Deals with High School and Stardom
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.
