1. Lindsay Lohan turned down the chance to be roasted on Comedy Central

Over the years, Comedy Central has spent plenty of time roasting the celebrity equivalent of low-hanging fruit, including Roseane Barr, Larry the Cable Guy, and Charlie Sheen. But according to TMZ, one celebrity turned down the chance to be roasted last summer: Lindsay Lohan, who elected, for some reason, not to let C-list celebrities make fun of her bad reviews and rehab stints for an audience of millions. Anyone who would still like to see Lindsay Lohan get roasted can pick up any tabloid and flip to a random page.
