Lindsay Lohan Calls Upcoming Rehab Stint 'A Blessing' Actress has awkward exchange with David Letterman about her sobriety.

Though she smiled throughout the interview, Tuesday night's appearance by Lindsay Lohan on "The Late Show With David Letterman" was awkward, to say the least. Seemingly caught off-guard by a line of questioning from the talk show legend about her upcoming stint in court-ordered rehab, Lohan told Letterman that the three-month stay at a lock-down facility is actually "a blessing." "To be honest, I'm happiest when I'm working, the healthiest," Lohan said, putting a positive spin on a judge's decision last month
 to let her avoid jail in a June 2012 car-accident case
 in favor of 90 days in a lockdown rehab facility. That exchange was one of the more friendly bits during the sit-down, which started off tensely, after Letterman asked, "Aren't you supposed to be in rehab now?" Lohan, wearing a 1960s-style flower print dress, stared blankly for a second and replied, "Do you not watch anything that goes on? Are you a tabloid now? May 2." When Letterman followed by asking Lohan how many times she's been in rehab, she smiled and said, "several," then looked out at the audience with a smirk. (This is at least her sixth known attempt at rehab.) Letterman wanted to know how this time would be different and what, exactly, she was rehabbing from? "What's on the list ... what are they going to work on when you walk through the door?" he wondered. Looking exasperated and biting her lip, Lohan avoided eye contact for a few moments and noted, "We didn't discuss this in the pre-interview." Letterman confirmed that, but pressed on. "To be honest, I'm happiest when I'm working, the healthiest," the "Scary Movie 5" actress responded. "And I think this is an opportunity for me to, you know, focus on what I love in life. I don't think it's a bad thing. I think it's a blessing."
