While hosting “Chelsea Lately” last night, a newly released Lindsay Lohan opened by thanking her fellow celebrities for giving us all something to talk about while she was in rehab.

As you all know for the past 90 days, I’ve been on a lovely court-ordered vacation in Malibu, she quipped, adding: “I have a lot of people to thank, most importantly, the celebrities who kept the tabloid industry alive in my absence – like Anthony Weiner!” she said as a Weiner paraded onstage. “I would like to thank him for being such a dick, with an unlimited texting plan!”

Lohan was also to Kanye West “for acting like a baby and making a baby,” and Justin Bieber “for peeing where you shouldn’t, spitting where you shouldn’t and wearing your pants where you shouldn’t.”

Welcome back LiLo!
