Lohan: Rehab a 'blessing'

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan has told TV viewers that rehab is a “blessing”.

In an appearance taped for CBS’s Late Show, Lohan was pressed by talk show host David Letterman about her upcoming 90-day rehab stint as part of a plea deal in a misdemeanour traffic accident case.

Letterman tried to draw Lohan out, asking how many times she had been in rehab, how this time would differ, and what she was being treated for.

Lohan looked uncomfortable and said she did not expect Letterman’s line of questioning.

But she said that she wants to be healthy and focus on what she loves – her work. She added that she looks at rehab as “a blessing and not a curse”.

CBS released a partial clip of the interview before it showed.
