Dirctor Defends Casting Lindsay Lohan as Linda Lovelace
It's easy to forget that Lindsay Lohan used to actually be a credible actress. (uhh no it's not)
Lohan wants to make a big comeback with her upcoming role in Inferno where she plays infamous porn star, Linda Lovelace.
The movies director, Matthew Wilder thinks that Lindsay life actually has "kind of a weird parallel" with the late porn star Linda Lovelace.
"Both of them grew up in this case where there was kind of this whole industry built around them," Wilder tells E! news.
"It's built around destroying her."
"It really breaks my heart," the director says. "Every day I look and see these horrible things and people wishing horrible things on her...The real person is very thoughtful and cares about acting and has a lot of heart. Not this kind of screwball that's depicted everyday in the press. They want a person to project what they hate or what they envy on."
But Wilder thinks that this role is definitely gonna change the way people view Lindsay Lohan.
"What I'm hoping now with our project is it's going to turn the ship sort of," he says. They're not going to see this whacked-out person… They're going to see the artist coming out."
Wilder is hoping that at that point people will once again see Lindsay as the true artist/actress she instead of the train-wreck she is portrayed as in the public.
"In a way I kind of want this murmuring of meanness right now," Wilder says. "I feel like when this actually comes out and when you see what the movie is and what she's doing, it's going to be so unexpected that it's going to actually kind of blow people's minds."

This might be lind's last shot at acting. To play a stripper/porn star, she's going to have to bare all. If she doesn't, no one will watch this.
1. The black guy did it!
Grand theft auto? Kidnapping? Not if Linds has anything to say about it! Back in 2007, La Lohan spent a night partying with her then assistant and a couple of the assistant's pals—including one lucky dude named Dante—when L.L.'s assistant quit. Oh no you don't...
According to the lawsuit, this allegedly resulted in a high speed chase (in Dante's Denali) down the PCH, with Linds in the driver's seat supposedly yelling "I can't get in trouble. I'm a celebrity. I can do whatever the f--k I want!"
The cops didn't feel the same way so LiLo (unsuccessfully) tried to pin the whole ordeal on her reported helpless passenger, Dante.
2. Those aren't my pants!
After L.L. tried to claim "the black kid" was driving, cops found cocaine in her jeans pocket. But hey, not her pants, no problem right? "I am wearing a pair of borrowed jeans from a friend/assistant," Lindsay wrote in her statement after being booked. "She wore a pair of my jeans." Of course! Cocaine is something Lindsay frowns upon.
3. My passport was stolen!
Linds has some serious F.O.M.O (fear of missing out) because not even a judge could get in the way of the bloated brunette and her Cannes parties, sorry, promotion. After being ordered to appear in court, Lindsay still went yacht hopping in France, missing her flight back to the states. But it wasn't her fault!
"My passport's been stolen. It's clearly an inside person who works with my father that has been sent to set me up. He's been threatening me."
4. That's a set up!
"I wasn't looking around the room, I thought I was just taking a picture with a fan."
While on her tour-de-force party spree in Cannes, a photo surfaced of L.L. and her signature pout posing next to what appeared to be a platter of cocaine. But hold the judgment! Lindsay the martyr was just obliging some fans who asked if they could take a pic with the hard-working actress (in their hotel room). She agreed, made herself comfy, and happened to overlook the suspicious white substance a foot in front of her.
5. It's the paparazzi's fault!
No way was it alcohol that gave L.L. her first DUI: "My car accident that I got into, where I got my first charge, I wouldn't have been speeding up like I was if I didn't have people shoving cameras in my windows. I was running away from the paparazzi."
If that wasn't rude enough, the paps were also to blame for her first arrest warrant last year when she missed an alcohol class, and then the shutterbugs used their secret telepathic powers to push L.L. into a cactus after a night of partying out in Hollywood.
We miss Lindsay's more creative excuses, but blaming the cameras (they can be invasive, but really?) is the Lohan go-to. Since paparazzi aren't allowed in clubs, what will her reason be for setting off her SCRAM bracelet this past Sunday?
Just in case your mind is a little, uh, clouded, here are some we came up with for you:
"But it wasn't my SCRAM bracelet, I switched ankles with my friend!"
"It was an inside job! My dad snuck into Las Palmas and poured a drink down my Louboutin boot."
"I ordered a virgin whiskey straight! The bartender must have messed up!"
"Wait! It's not considered alcohol if it's less than 50 proof, right?"

However, since she's spoiled, out of control, and most likely will be found overdosed in a hotel room, before she's 30- sheesh, it's just sad.

February 21, 2008 -- WHY did Li-Lo get her jubbly-wubblies out? Why not? When your career is crashing, deploying your airbags is a smart move.
If Lindsay Lohan were a character in "Juno," she'd be Unstable Mabel. For the actress who discovers that her phone isn't ringing unless it's a call from law-enforcement officials or AA sponsors, unveiling her bits and assets is the shortest route back to the top.
Her decision to bare her fun-bubbles in her cover shoot for New York magazine this week - photographer Bert Stern's re-creation of the nudie sessions he did with Marilyn Monroe six weeks before her 1962 death - provides ample evidence that her voluptuousitude in "Mean Girls" was for real and promises to catapult the magazine's sales among straight guys above 10 copies for the first time in years.
In the early 1990s, Drew Barrymore was the child actress gone disturbingly wrong. Did she wait for great movies to come along? No, she simply unleashed her blouse bunnies in such films as "Doppelganger: The Evil Within" and (briefly) "Poison Ivy." Her buzz was restored and she proved she could show up on time. By the time she reinvented herself as a national sweetheart, who remembered the wreckage of her teen years? Like quarterbacks who get sacked a lot, Hollywood couldn't function if it didn't have a short memory.
Halle Berry went from eye candy to Oscar-winning thespian by making it appear that she could enjoy sex with Billy Bob Thornton in "Monster's Ball." Charlize Theron, Rachel Weisz and even Reese Witherspoon bared their breasts when they were struggling. Sharon Stone, who had already gone starkers in seven movies, finally got people to notice her (or at least a few square inches of her) in "Basic Instinct" in 1992, says the boffin of buff, Jim McBride, a?k?a "Mr. Skin" of the flesh-centric Web site mrskin.com. Did she learn to act at any point along the way? No. Did it matter?
"Look at, say, a Diane Lane," says McBride. "When she did 'Unfaithful,' she was 37 years old. That only helped her. She looked great, and it was a very sexy role. In the last three or four or five years, her career has been as good as ever." Or better: Before "Unfaithful," Lane had largely been relegated to supporting roles or small movies. Now she regularly gets top billing in studio productions despite being over 40.
There are exceptions. Pam Anderson's unholstered firepower in "Barb Wire" and Elizabeth Berkley's gyrations in "Showgirls" didn't boost their careers, and for Demi Moore, so vigorously unclad in "The Scarlet Letter," "Indecent Proposal" and "Striptease," wearing a birthday suit did no wonders. But Demi at least got the chance to prove she could star in half a dozen consecutive flops, a privilege granted to few. Nudity is the only reason anyone even knows the names Bo Derek, Phoebe Cates and Denise Richards.
Lohan, who has never done a nude scene on film, even when playing a stripper in "I Know Who Killed Me," is currently unemployed. Her only announced project, a musical drama called "Dare To Love Me," has stalled on money troubles. Now that she has signaled a willingness to reveal her happy pillows, producers are bound to start calling her. Sure, Lohan costs a fortune to insure, but they'll save money on costuming.

I've never honestly been overly enamored of her. She's cute, sure, and a redhead to boot, but she's never really done it for me.
