Hands up if you're having a career revival! Lindsay Lohan is chic and cheerful on Jimmy Fallon
Lindsay Lohan is certainly on the comeback trail offensive, filming her second interview in as many days to promote her upcoming Saturday Night Live appearance.
Billed at the troubled starlet's last-chance bid to win over fans again, the 25-year-old isn't taking any chances, and turned on her mega-watt charm as she appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in New York.
Looking sleek in a monochrome mini dress that hugged her figure, Lindsay discussed her SNL hosting gig with the former castmember Fallon, and enthusiastically played a game of Pictionary with the audience.

Miss Lohan wasn't afraid to admit that she unabashedly pursued SNL producer Lorne Michael to ask him to let her back on the show after her eight years in showbiz wilderness.
'I kept asking him, the determined starlet revealed. 'I wasn’t giving up.'
Lindsay told how she bumped into the industry legend in Los Angeles and she had no trouble convincing him in person. 'You know Lorne, he’s very straight to the point,' she said. 'He was like, "What about March 3?", I’m like, "I’m free!"
Trim: The actress looked sleek in a black and white form-fitting dress
Lohan will follow up her SNL hosting gig with a television movie about one of her idols, Elizabeth Taylor.
Despite her years of hard-partying, dabbling in illicit substances and a brief stint playing porn star Linda Lovelace before being ousted from the role, Lindsay's mind still appears somewhat innocent, as the actress appeared baffled when the audience erupted into laughter when she announced the name of the film was to be Liz and Dick.
The Lifetime movie will focus on the screen icon's many relationships, particularly with Richard Burton.

Lohan revealed recently that Taylor gifted her with a costume ring before her death. 'It came with this beautiful note, hand-written by Elizabeth Taylor, which was very encouraging about my work - and that work is something I should concentrate on,' she said.
'It's a costume ring! It has a cognac-coloured stone with precious stones set round it.
'After I was sent it, I put the ring, and the letter, away in a safe place so I wouldn't lose it. But I took them out recently when I was asked to portray her. It's a tiny connection to her.'
Determined: Lohan revealed that she unashamedly 'kept asking' SNL exec Lorne Michaels to allow her to return to host her upcoming show
Lindsay proved she was up for a laugh by taking part in a game of Pictionary during her appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon - laughing and cheering on the audience as she drew clues.
The Mean Girls star gave a revealing interview to the Today Show the day before, in which she admitted to finding her jail stints 'terrifying,' and that for a long time she couldn't admit to herself that she was an addict.
Lindsay's Saturday Night Live show will air in the US on Saturday Night on NBC.
