"I don't want that to be what I'm known for anymore — the tabloid stuff," she said Tuesday on the syndicated magazine show "Extra."

The troubled starlet acknowledged that her comeback won't be easy.

"There's going to be a lot of steps that I have to go through to kind of prove myself again," she said. In the latest of her off-screen woes, Lohan is charged with the theft of a $2,500 necklace from an upscale jewelry store.

She has pleaded not guilty to that felony charge, which she did not discuss in the interview.
