Barbara wanted to sit Lindsay down for a pre Liz and Dick special and engage viewers by comparing her life to Elizabeth Taylor's. It's rumored she promised the actress's PR firm she would steer clear of touchy subjects (as there are plenty to go around with LiLo) and stick to the miniseries.

Lindsay swiftly canceled the interview, however, saying she "wasn't up to it" and then booked a sit-down with none other than Jay Leno.

Babs was understandably ruffled.

"If they'd said to me "you know, Barbara, she isn't up to the kinds of questions you might ask," Barbra explained on The View, adding that she got no real reason for the cancellation. "If they had told me that, then I wouldn't feel quite so...disappointed today."
