What does Lindsay Lohan have to do these days besides attempt sobriety and create drama? Not much. She goes to clubs and doesn’t drink (or whatever) and she wanders around, posing for the paparazzi. These photos are from last night – Lindsay coming out of a party, looking rough. Eh. I think she got more injections into her lips. Anyway, she’s started doing press to promote God knows what. Last week she did an interview with Star Magazine (that I think she was probably paid for) in which she claimed “Enough is enough. People should just leave me alone and let me live. I haven’t touched any alcohol or anything of the sort… The lies that get created [are] damaging to my career.” This week she’s done an interview with The Sun, and this one is about that dumb Linda Lovelace biopic that will probably never be made. Lindsay wants us to know: it’s not a porno, and she’s a good actress and “it’s nice to play something where I’m able to experience all these different emotions.” Oh, crackhead.
LINDSAY LOHAN has staunchly defended her upcoming portrayal of sex movie star LINDA LOVELACE – insisting the biopic will NOT be pornographic. The troubled star’s outspoken dad MICHAEL is among the dissenting voices to have blasted Lindsay for stepping into the high heels of the 70s porn queen.
He fears playing Lovelace – who shot to fame in notorious skin flick Deep Throat – will end his daughter’s career in Hollywood.
However, Lindsay – who’s due to start shooting Inferno later this year – has hit back at criticism, claiming Lovelace’s controversial XXX life story will be told tastefully by director MATTHEW WILDER.
She said: “The way that Matthew wants to shoot it is not vulgar. It’s not about the raw sex and the shots of her fully nude. It’s more about getting into her psyche and seeing how scared she was. That’s what I want to show most in the film.”
“People are going to say: ‘Oh, Lindsay Lohan is doing a porno.’ But it’s not like that. I’ve never played someone’s true-life story before. A lot of the other movies I did were just brainless for me. So it’s nice to play something where I’m able to experience all these different emotions.”

Several weeks ago, Page Six got their hands on the script for the Lovelace pic, and they claimed it was going to be even worse than anyone thought – Lindsay (as Lovelace) was going to be “thoroughly degraded and demoralized” throughout the film. Which is so unlike her life? And did anyone else roll their eyes at “A lot of the other movies I did were just brainless for me. So it’s nice to play something where I’m able to experience all these different emotions.” You mean Herbie Fully Loaded wasn’t the work of the next Meryl Streep?
In other Blohan news, remember how her assistant quit her ass? Radar claims that the prosecutor handling Lindsay’s case plans to interview/subpoena the assistant now. Oh, to be a fly on that interrogation!
The district attorney in Lindsay Lohan’s probation case has a new target in their investigation. RadarOnline.com has learned Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers plans to interview Lohan’s former assistant, Eleonore Lieven, who walked out on the actress earlier this month — and orchestrated the plans to eventually get the troubled actress back to Los Angeles from her ill-fated trip to Cannes, to face court. Meyers’ move to call Lieven as a key witness in the case could set up a courtroom showdown between boss and staffer.
“The district attorney is very interested in Eleonore,” a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com. “At the very least, an investigator from the D.A.’s office will be making contact with Lieven. A decision will be made about whether Eleonore will testify depending on what is gathered from the initial meeting with investigator. But if she is called, it could be very explosive and could very well go badly, very quickly for Lohan.”
Lohan’s right-hand woman, Lieven, lasted a few, tumultuous months and was left “exhausted” after her role. She handed in her notice after being constantly on call and cited bad hours, bad pay and bad attitude as the reason. One source has told RadarOnline.com Lieven spent a panicked three days attempting to ensure the troubled Mean Girls star returned from France, after she claimed her passport was stolen.
“Eleonore literally didn’t sleep for three days trying to get Lindsay back to Los Angeles,” said a source. “Meyers wants to gather specific information about the particulars of when the assistant was notified about the passport missing.”
The latest development follows our revelation that the alcohol education program overseeing Lohan’s sobriety was slapped with a subpoena to appear before a judge in the case. Meyers served the troubled actor’s court-ordered alcohol education program, Right On Program, in Glendale, California, last Friday. Staff, including the program’s director, were ordered to testify at Lohan’s probation violation hearing on July 6.

I want to think that this bodes well for getting Lindsay into a jail cell, but I doubt it. She’s a slippery little crackhead, and she’ll find some way to negate whatever horrible testimony Eleonore gives. I imagine it will be something like “You can’t believe her, we did drugs TOGETHER!”

UGH!
Maybe Lindsay thinks hardcore porn is soft porn. It is a porno film no matter what she says. Hopefully it will never be made. It sounds like a disaster.
I don’t know if the Eleonore story at Radar is BS or not, but it is funny, especially if true. A legal investigation trumps a confidentiality agreement. Lindsay should learn to be nicer to her employees and to pay them.
This Lovelace movie can go Skinmax softcore porn or it could go Indie golden or it could go a Lifetime movie with sex thrown in, really depends on how its shot. If he focuses the story well on Linda’s life and how she got into porn and the affect it had on her life maybe it can be Indie gold. Just because she is portraying a porn star doesn’t mean they have to really focus on or re-enact the porn she did. There wasn’t much to Linda Lovelace, this is based off what I know from the Deep Throat documentary that was big a few years ago, but they can make an interesting story about her life. I am thinking about that movie Monster…there wasn’t much to that woman but in the right hands they told interesting story.
Look up Matthew Wilder the ‘director’
I think this guy is a dilletante newbie, he hasn’t really done much. I wouldn’t call him “the right hands” for something this intense.
Lohan must be pretty desperate. It’s never a good thing when they have a poster for the movie before they have money, a budget, a release date, or a plan.
Oh yeah, she got her lips done again. I thought that as soon as I saw her pic. Maybe getting in gear for the ‘not porno’ movie that’ll never get made? Actually, I think some fool with more money than brains will eventually pony up the cash for this project. Probably a middle-aged man from the Middle East who will only require her company on his yacht for a few weeks in exchange for start-up money. Take the deal Lohan.
She is obviously high on something in these pics. Look at her for crying out loud.
Regardless of what Lindsay says, the film will feature hardcore sex scenes so will be porno like…regardless of how Lohan throws it…emotional ok, I’ll give her thats but can’t see how its not going to be degrading…
But guess Lindsay will be getting paid for what she does in her spare time anyhows so hardly a huge jump – sex for money!
It would be theoretically possible to tell the story of Linda Lovelace without making it a porno, but there’s no way to avoid mentioning some of the more degrading things she did, or claimed she was forced to do. Theoretically possible in the hands of a good writer and director, like Paul Thomas Anderson did in Boogie Nights. I doubt this guy is remotely as talented.
And even if it were possible, it would be an unbelievably depressing movie anyway.
This role would hurt any actress’ career.
How could it not be porno if it’s based on a porn actress? I’m sure it’s not going to be XXX , but it will have some graphic sex scenes, I assume.
Who gives a sh*t about Linda Lovelace to the point they would want to see a movie about her allegedly miserable, shitty life??
“Regardless of what Lindsay says, the film will feature hardcore sex scenes so will be porno like…” @RubyRed DO YOU even know what the difference between “softcore” & “HARDCORE” even is? OF COURSE no matter how naked Lindsay will be in the Lovelace Biopic it will NEVER qualify as “HARDCORE” porn. “HARDCORE” implies that you see actually “PENETRATION” ie Penis in mouth/vagina/anus not just people covering up & going through the motions.
That judge needs truth serum.
@ Green is Good: That’s what I’ve been thinking this whole time ever since it came out that Lilo wanted to make this disaster.
Who the hell would want to see this anyway? She is SO desperate, she’s doing a project I bet no one (who has any real talent) wants to touch.
LMAO @ “slippery little crackhead”
Is Michael Lohan the only one who doesn’t know that Blohan’s MOVIE career in Hollywood has already ended? All that’s left for her is partying and being a twitiot.
A biopic about a porn star (?) may not be porn, but it certainly won’t be very authentic without at least SOME porn-like scenes.
Lindsay will not be naked. If there are nude scenes it will be a body double. I remembers reading a review (don’t remember where), that she played a stripper that never got nude. How do you play a stripper and not do a nude scene?
You people are just awful. She’s a young girl with an obvious dysfunctional past and you people live to mock her. Shame on you. You’re also hypocrites, you know darn well that if it were Gina Gershon in the role you’d applaud her for being an edgy artist. For shame.
dont do it lindz! and thank u EzE!! when lindsay gets back on her feet all u hypocrites will be like” oh lindsay we always knew u could do it!” and all that BS!!! please!
“if it were Gina Gershon in the role you’d applaud her for being an edgy artist.”
after seeing gina gershon in “showgirls” i wouldn’t applaud her in anything. what are you on about?
The words “Just act naturally” never rang truer.
I would argue that given the right director and the right script, a Lovelace bio pic could be a very thoughtful, provocative and emotional indie film.
But the fact that this script was bounced around for years before a pathological liar and drug addict agreed to sign on for the lead role does not bode well . . .
It’s totally going to be a porno.
There’s a long list of actresses who passed on this role, including Anna Faris, Courtney Love, and Rose McGowan (among others). So, this film was seen as too risky/damaging by a pretty wide range of actresses, including some that are known for being trainwrecks…just shows that this film might be exploitative.
If it’s not porno, they can write off the male audience.
I wonder why they are just now subpoenaing Eleanor now and not earlier. Kind of sounds like a made up story. It’s not like the DA couldn’t do that while she was working for LL – I doubt there’s a law against doing that.
Her knees in those photos are roughed up in a big way. Methinks she went downtown on some guy in the bathroom and the grout from the tiles scraped her up.
Also, I keep wondering…why does she keep going to parties if she can’t drink or do drugs? Because lemme tell you, I’ve been a designated driver for my friends before, and clubbing sober is a special kind of hell. It’s truly unbearable.
Men won’t watch it if it’s not porno and most women probably don’t want to know what Linda Lovelace was doing so I doubt it will do well. It’s not about making a movie anyways – it’s about Lindsay making money. It’s just one more step in her long slide downwards. From what I read, there is a donkey scene in the script and if it’s in the movie women won’t watch it period.
@GatsbyGal: looks like the fake tan’s coming off her knees to me 😀
I’m too young to know who Linda Lovelace is, but it sounds like a bad, bad, idea for Lindsey.
If ANYONE on Lindsey’s team is reading this, please pay attention. She needs to move away from Hollywood. Someplace like Sedona or Taos. Here’s the hard part. She needs to be completely unheard from for 1-3 years. At that point, she needs to get cast in a pivotal supporting role in a big, arty film and do NO publicity. She’ll need to then do a slightly larger part in another small, critically acclaimed movie and the same year, a funny, self-deprecating, uncredited cameo in a mainstream comedy. Finally, a supporting role in an Oscar worthy film will get her a nomination a la Mickey Rourke. She and her team just need to have patience and a 5 year plan.
She probably can’t be compelled to say a word, because of a Non Disclosure Agreement. It’s standard for these types of employees, like when I worked for the Trumps on their bodyguard detail, to be forced to sign at the time of hire. I’m at least fairly certain someone can’t be made to knowingly violate said agreement.
Isn’t it odd to do a poster (& publicize it) before the movie is even started? I’m not familiar w/how movies are done but seems weird to me. Guess it could drum up interest (or laughter).
I will go see any movie that has Lindsay Lohan in the nude. In spite of her tabloid problems, she still is a very attractive young redhead with a hot little body. I doubt there are many straight males in the world who would turn down the opportunity to take a peak into her panties.
