Categories: Casting, Celeb News, Rumors

Lindsay LohanLast month, we told you Lindsay Lohan was scheduled to appear in Manson Girls, a movie about Charles Manson’s followers.  Now we’re learning Lohan has already been replaced in that film and another one as well.

The story behind Lindsay’s exit from Manson varies depending on the source.  One site claims a refill was necessary because the producers were unable to find actresses willing to star with her.  The star’s rep, though, blames ‘scheduling conflicts’ for the casting change.

Meanwhile, the reason for Lohan’s departure from another project is not quite clear.  She was at one point slated to appear with in a romantic comedy.  Now the project is moving on with another actress.  According to someone connected to Ye Old Times, “We have just decided to go our separate ways. We currently have an offer out to another actor.”

Well, I guess Lindsay should be happy she has her work on Ugly Betty to fall back on…

Lindsay Lohan’s Pound of Flesh

Lindsay Lohan is getting back into the acting swing. Not only has the young performer snagged a coveted role in Manson Girls, but she’s now signed on to do a new, more low-budget film role.

The former child star will play a nymphomaniac waitress in the upcoming Florence. The producers asked Lohan to perform a topless sex scene in the flick, an offer Lindsay quickly countered. Not only will she go topless, she’ll do it one better - full frontal. And though Linds won’t get paid much for baring it all so publicly, one insider says she’s ready to prove herself as a “mature actress.”

Box Office Breakdown: 21 Cashes In

21 Movie

Apparently it takes a movie about gambling to finally bring down a family-friendly film.

This past weekend, won big at the tables and brought in over $24 million dollars.  The movie - the third Kate Bosworth and Kevin Spacey have starred in together - survived less than stellar critical reviews to cash in over $9000 per theater.  (That average was tops for any move in the Top Ten.) The new box office champ also pushed Horton and its $17.7 million into second place.

Further down the list, once again proved that audiences are not interested in purchasing tickets for pics about the war.  Is it because these films are far too political, or do people simply need a more light-hearted theme to escape with?  Whatever the reason, Loss entered the charts in a disappointing 8th place.  The Ryan Phillippe vehicle did earn a respectable $3500 screen average though.

Lindsay Lohan’s Star on the Rise?

Lindsay LohanOnce-troubled star is making positive Hollywood news again. The young actress will be starring opposite Jared Leto in Chapter 27, which opens this week, and has recently snagged the role of leading lady in Manson’s Girls.

Lohan will play Nancy Pittman in the film, a girlfriend of cult leader Charles Manson. Pittman remained a steadfast supporter of Manson throughout the multiple killings and Manson’s arrest. The movie will be told from Pittman’s point of view. Though the film has yet to begin shooting, there is already talk that the role could propel Lohan into an race - speculation which I think is a little strong at best.

Lindsay Lohan Racks Up the Razzies

I Know Who Killed MeLindsay Lohan - the recent focus of a nude pictorial - has just now earned a heap of awards for her turn as a stripper.  Unfortunately, it’s not the kind of merits she was hoping to achieve.

While Hollywood will be celebrating the Best of the Best today, Lohan will have to deal with being this year’s Worst of the Worst.  Her last completed film, , garnered a record eight statues at yesterday’s 28th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards.  Up until now, the most any film had attained was seven.  (Both Showgirls and Battlefield Earth have reached that mark.)

Lohan, like , earned three awards yesterday for their acting work.  Lohan tied herself for Worst Actress while also scoring one for Worst Screen Couple (since she played two characters).  Murphy snagged his trophies for his three roles in .  (Dreamgirls seems oh so long ago now.)

Congratulations to this year’s winners…

Lindsay Lohan to Tell Her Story?

Posted by K.C. Morgan
Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors

Lindsay Lohan has it that Razzie-nominated actress may be making ready to write her memoirs. Gossip suggests Lohan is motivated by a single need: money.  Varied reports have Lohan borrowing money from friends and quickly running out of funds, though how this is possible I simply can’t say.

The book, reportedly, will talk about Lohan’s troubles with substance abuse (and subsequent trips to rehab) and what it’s like to be a big star in a small world. I’m less interested in what the book’s about and more interested in another compelling question: is she writing it herself, or using a ghostwriter? There’s a good chance the readers will never know.

Alright. Lindsay has taken a lot of flak for her multiple roles in - the film which received a Razzie nom for - but let me say again that I liked the film. (But then, I’m a Lohan fan.) Meanwhile, Murphy picked up several nominations (okay, eight) for his duplicity in , giving him a record-breaking number of Razzie nods for 2007. No one’s ever received that many before.

, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry and also received nominations while was included in the Worst Actress category for three movies (though rumor has it Lohan will give her stiff competition for that particular ).

Winners will be announced February 23, a day before the

Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors

Lindsay LohanSince her stint in , has been keeping her nose clean - and for the most part, keeping herself out of nightclubs. But during a recent trip to Italy, the actress let it all hang out - or at least, her tongue. According to reports, the celeb made out with no less than 3 different Joes in only 24 hours. Only one of these, Dario Faiella, allegedly made it back to Lindsay’s hotel room where she was spotted with him in a state of undress the next morning.

Lindsay is also grabbing headlines by virtue of a recent poll, which named Lohan’s role in the worst performance of the year. Personally, I disagree, but only because I was forced to deal with in . Gak!
