00:00Hey guys, you look awesome. I know right. Welcome to Ms. Mojo and today we're counting down our

00:09picks for Lindsay Lohan's most iconic moments as an actress, performer, and pop culture darling.

00:22Number 10. Opening with a dance number. 13th MTV Movie Awards.

00:28Hey everyone. Wow, I'm so excited. I cannot believe I'm hosting the MTV Movie Awards. This

00:32is going to be so much fun. Fresh off of Mean Girls, Lindsay was just 17 when she was tapped

00:37to host this MTV award show. While she became the program's youngest host and won the award

00:42for breakthrough performance in the female category that same night, her opening demonstration

00:46was even more memorable. I'm sorry, Mom, Dad, I have to do this. It's something I have to do.

00:57In an energetic display that is so emblematic of the early aughts,

01:03Lohan is joined by Omarion and Marcus Houston for an impressive hip-hop number.

01:08Apparently, there was originally just a skit planned, but the actress decided to add her

01:12own touch with a tear-off Dolce & Gabbana suit and an all-out hip-hop routine. Well, Lindsay,

01:19I guess it's your father and I who got served. A healthy portion of learning to let go.

01:26Number 9. Lexi Gold – Get a Clue

01:29If you care about Mr. Walker, you sure have a funny way of showing it.

01:32Are you just going to sit back and do nothing?

01:39Oh man, how can someone so selfish make me feel so guilty?

01:43It's a gift.

01:44After starring in The Parent Trap and Life-Size, Get a Clue was the final movie in Lohan's initial

01:50Disney contract. She played Lexi Gold, a fashion-forward high school journalist trying

01:54to solve the mystery of a missing teacher.

01:57You know, I really like the sleuthing thing. I think I could be pretty good at it.

02:04Okay, I'm scared. Let's go.

02:05As a whole, the 2002 film is definitely more nostalgic than masterful,

02:09but who can get over her and co-star Brenda Song's amazing style moments?

02:14This was a pivotal role for Lohan, as it transitioned her from child actor to teen

02:18comedy star, a genre that would propel the rest of her successful early 2000s career.

02:23So tell me, what's your whole secret?

02:25What?

02:27Come on, you always get the inside story.

02:29Gabe. Okay, there is no secret. It's all about the skill.

02:35Number 8. Those iconic Lilo memes. Various.

02:39Okay, I'm legit.

02:40Yeah, I didn't know if it was that, I mean...

02:42But I didn't know what was happening with it, in terms of this Do the Lilo until...

02:48Do the Lilo challenge became like trending on Twitter and everyone...

02:51I didn't even know that.

02:52After her rising fame made her a tabloid regular,

02:55the star became well-known by her press nickname, Lilo.

02:58Unfortunately, Lohan's struggles with substance use disorder meant

03:02most of those headlines were about her stints in rehab and repeated legal infractions.

03:06So what are you on now?

03:08Vitamins.

03:09You're on just vitamins now?

03:10Yeah.

03:11You're not on any prescription drug?

03:13No.

03:14Though those days are now behind her, popular memes like the vitamins joke

03:18or her series of glam mugshots still make their rounds on the internet.

03:21More recently, a clip of the actress performing hair-whipping choreography

03:25went viral with the hashtag Do the Lilo.

03:28Even now, Lohan's lasting popularity is proof that people will always love the millennial icon.

03:34It's so embarrassing to me now, you have to understand that.

03:36No, it's...

03:37I'm like never dancing again.

03:38Oh stop it, you'll have to dance again, are you kidding me?

03:41Number 7. Her SNL appearances, Saturday Night Live.

03:45You know, this studio feels like a home for me.

03:52Wait, so the alarm goes off if I leave the stage?

03:54I thought it was only if I left the studio.

03:57And I thought you guys trusted me.

03:58Starting her career at a young age allowed Lohan to reach incredible milestones

04:02while still in her teens.

04:04After working alongside Tina Fey in The Sensation That Is Mean Girls,

04:08Lohan joined the SNL cast for the first time in 2004.

04:12Hell yeah!

04:13I can drive, I can drive, I can drive, I can drive!

04:16Don't even worry about it, these are my streets, I'm a Long Island boy.

04:19Not only did she host the show when she was just 17,

04:23she also became the first person to host three episodes before turning 20.

04:27Although that's an awesome milestone,

04:29Lohan deserves just as much recognition for her brilliant additions

04:32to some of the show's funniest and most famous sketches to date.

04:35You know what, Debbie? You are totally ruining my trip to Texas.

04:39I didn't say a word during It's a Small World when you talked about low birth weight,

04:42or during the fireworks when you went over...

04:44when you went about about feline AIDS.

04:48It's the number one killer of domestic cats.

04:55Number 6. Lola Sepp.

04:57Confessions of a teenage drama queen.

04:59Hey, you're gonna be great.

05:062004 was the year of Lindsay Lohan, and it all started with this starring role.

05:10From a bottle cap necklace and chunky highlights,

05:13to Megan Fox and a musical number, the movie is an early aughts classic.

05:17Lohan stars as Lola, a rock band-obsessed New York teenager

05:21with a flair for the dramatic.

05:23As these balloons go to the heavens, so do the stars of our Siddhartha

05:27mix among the stars of our universe.

05:30Symbolically, of course.

05:33Apparently, the movie was originally meant for Hilary Duff,

05:35but you would never know with the way Lohan makes it her own.

05:38By this time, she was well on her way to teen idol status,

05:42and this triple threat performance proved that she really was that girl.

05:46That girl was a wild child dreamer but she'll find herself

05:51That girl was a wild child dreamer but she'll find herself

05:56Cause she believes in nothing else

06:00Then you'll look back and you won't believe

06:04That girl was me

06:07Number 5. Her Netflix comeback, Various.
