The interview will air on ABC's "20/20" on Nov. 16, Walters announced on Monday's episode of "The View." It paves the way for Lohan's would-be comeback project, the Lifetime movie "Liz & Dick," which premieres later that month.

"Lindsay will be doing an exclusive interview with Barbara Walters within the next few weeks. Lindsay greatly admires and respects Barbara, and is looking forward to sitting down with her," Lohan's representative told The Hollywood Reporter.

"Liz & Dick" stars the 26-year-old actress as screen diva Elizabeth Taylor. It spotlights Taylor's quarter-century love affair with celebrated leading man Richard Burton, whom she married and divorced twice.

Grant Bowler, whose credits include the TV series "True Blood" and "Lost," plays Burton in the film.

Lohan will self destruct. It is simply a question of WHEN, rather than one of IF!

Boooooring! Too much of the US news media is in love with celebs because they are constantly seeking out attention. It's cheaper and easier to "report" on celeb whereabouts and doings than to report real news. Scotland is about to split off from the UK, but instead of getting news about that, we have to endure yet another interview with Lindsay Lohan.

Barbara, Barbara, Barbara,,,,,,, why oh why is this piece of trash still relevant? Isn't the time long over due for the media to throw her on the trash heap?

A TV movie is not exactly a comeback. It's a one-time paycheck that will fund her party lifestyle and quickly disappear. Her inevitable fade into obscurity will begin soon afterward.

Barbara Walters just dropped about 20 notches helping to promote this drug addicted, sticky fingered pig!

Why? I'm not sure she is a legitimate person, much less a star!I can't imagine anyone (other than maybe a few teens) that would want to watch the spoiled brat.She does nothing, contributes nothing, and damn sure doesn't need national attention from Barbara Walters.

She's been a has-been so long, teens don't even know who she is.
