Lindsay Lohan is expected to attend the premiere of Scary Movie 5 tonight in Los Angeles, but she will walk alone on the red carpet.

Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen became friends over the course of Scary Movie 5 project. Charlie Sheen even lent her $100,000 so that she could pay off a tax debt.
Scary Movie 5, directed by Malcolm D. Lee and written by David Zucker, is scheduled for theatrical release on April 12, 2013.

An emotional Lindsay Lohan who broke down in tears appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman on Tuesday night.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, welled up and had to dab her eyes with a tissue at one point, after being given a surprising compliment by David Letterman.
“We’d never thought we see you again honestly because of the jokes and stuff,” David Letterman told the actress, after several awkward minutes of her laughing along with his gags about her shoplifting charges and multiple court appearances.
“But yet you have enough spine, enough sense of yourself, enough poise to come out here and talk to me.”
Lindsay Lohan couldn’t contain her emotion, with tears welling in her eyes, prompting David Letterman to hand her a tissue.
“Oh thanks, that makes it obvious and all,” Lindsay Lohan said, holding the tissue up to the audience.

“She’s tearing up a little bit. God bless you,” said David Letterman.
Lindsay Lohan then tries to introduce a clip featuring herself with Charlie Sheen in the forthcoming Scary Movie 5, but ended up being unable to get the words out, while trying to describe the excerpt.
“There’s a lot of things in the scene,” the actress said.
“I’m flustered right now because you made me tear up because you’re very sweet.”
Earlier, Lindsay Lohan confirmed to David Letterman she is heading to rehab on May 2, before being subjected to an uncomfortable grilling about her prospective treatment.
“I think it’s a blessing and not a curse,” she said about her treatment.
“To be honest, I’m the happiest when I’m working and the healthiest. I think this is an opportunity for me to focus on what I love in life.”
Sporting an orange and white floral dress with her hair in a loose updo, Lindsay Lohan tried her best to deflect David Letterman’s questions during the chat.
“Aren’t you supposed to be in rehab now?” David Letterman asked the star who last month struck a plea deal over charges relating to a car crash in June 2012.
“Don’t you watch anything that goes on? What are you a tabloid now?” Lindsay Lohan retorted, imploring the talk show host to concentrate on discussing her acting projects.
But David Letterman didn’t let her off the hook that easily, asking her how long she was going to be in rehab for and how many times she had been treated previously.
“Several,” Lindsay Lohan acknowledged about her forthcoming sixth time in rehab where she will spend three months.
“What are they rehabbing?” asked David Letterman, to audience laughter.
“What is on their list? What are they going to work on when you walk through the door?”
“We didn’t discuss this in the pre-interview,” Lindsay Lohan replied.
“Just saying to everyone.”
“Do you have addiction problems?” the host persisted.
“It is alcohol. Do you drink too much?”
“Now you sound like Dr Phil,” the actress said.
“We’ve discussed this in the past.”
At one point, Lindsay Lohan took David Letterman’s list of questions and read them out herself, ending with the one: “Why are you always in trouble?”
“I don’t know,” she declared.
“I couldn’t answer that. I’m a target. I’ve always been. I put myself in situations in the past where…I take full responsibility for it. And it wasn’t funny. I was being immature. I was going through a phase. And I had a lot of family things going on and things in life.
“You grow up and you mature and I’ve said that a million times, I know that,” she continued.
“But what else am I supposed to say when it’s a process of life and I’m not trying to deny any situation I’m put in.”
“You’re lucky that we have this rehab that you’re looking forward to, before you got hurt and someone else gets hurt,” said David Letterman.
“I agree – I’m looking forward to it,” Lindsay Lohan said.
“I’m looking forward to some time for myself. The next time I come on the show, that will be in my past.”
David Letterman then expressed surprise that the actress had actually turned up to be on the show.
“I showed up! Like I wasn’t going to!” she said.
“Who’s taking you to rehab?” the host then asked.
“Oh God. Jimmy Fallon, and you,” Lindsay Lohan responded before correcting herself.
“I don’t want people to think I’m making a joke of that. I’m not. It’s no joking matter.”
However, Lindsay Lohan sportingly laughed her way through several of David Letterman’s jokes about her woes, even cracking a few at her own expense.
Sipping from a mug on his desk, she declared: “Oh I thought this was going to be vodka. Shucks!”
David Letterman began the chat by showing the audience a photograph of Lindsay Lohan’s first appearance at 6-years-old in 1992.
He then proceeded to read out several jokes about her.
“Lindsay Lohan’s in court so often, the cafeteria has named a sandwich over her,” he declared.
The star joined in, revealing she had planned to appear on the show with the shop tags still on her dress.
“That would have been tremendous,” agreed David Letterman.
“What in life can’t we make light of?”
“I’m fine with making light of myself,” Lindsay Lohan agreed.
“That’s why I want to walk out with a tag on.”
Lindsay Lohan was also quizzed about her friendship with Charlie Sheen – she recently filmed a guest appearance on his sitcom Anger Management.
“I met Charlie when I was doing Scary Movie 5 in Atlanta,” she recalled.
“He told me about the show that he was starting to do and it all came together. It’s a really great set. Nice environment. Everyone’s so funny.”
David Letterman also alluded to Charlie Sheen’s claim that he wrote Lindsay Lohan a cheque for $100,000 to help pay her tax bill.
“Is it true that Charlie gave you money or is that not true?” he said.
“That’s something you’d have to ask Charlie,” Lindsay Lohan retorted.
Despite the rather testing interview, Lindsay Lohan looked in good spirits as she left the studios, having changed into a lather mini-shirt, black lace sleeveless top and strappy sandals.

Lindsay Lohan has just appeared in a second spoof fashion ad in as many weeks.
In a play on Saint Laurent’s high-profile new campaign starring Marilyn Manson and Courtney Love, Lindsay Lohan is seen staring seductively into the camera, wearing a glossy padded jacket.
The image first appeared on the 5thVillage Instagram feed.
The photo, in fact, is an edited shot of Lindsay Lohan modeling for the Italian clothing company, Fornarina, in fall 2010.
When the image appeared on Twitter this week, Lindsay Lohan replied: “Omg I would die! So amazing !!! I love Hedi [Slimane, Saint Laurent’s creative director] & shooting w/him!”
It is not the first time Lindsay Lohan has appeared in a spoof commercial. Last month she starred in a spoof of Louis Vuitton’s Core Values ad series.
The spoof Saint Laurent ad is, in fact, an edited shot of Lindsay Lohan modeling for Fornarina in fall 2010
The image, which appeared on the blog of Daniel Pianetti, showed her sat in court apparently admiring her lawyer’s LV embossed briefcase.
And like the real ads, the photo was framed by a thick white border with the brand name spelled out in the bottom right-hand corner.
While Lindsay Lohan perhaps wouldn’t fit with Louis Vuitton’s glossy image, her look certainly works for Saint Laurent – especially given this season’s rock ‘n’ roll theme.
The troubled actress even worked with the label’s creative director Hedi Slimane in 2009.
Hedi Slimane, 44, who is also a photographer, captured her in a series of provocative shots for his own portfolio, around the time her apparent weight-loss was starting to make press.
However, for his latest Saint Laurent campaign, Hedi Slimane selected subjects to complement his music-inspired project.
He opted for American musicians including Courtney Love, Marilyn Manson, Los Angeles-based rock artist Ariel Pink and former Sonic Youth singer and guitarist Kim Gordon.
Lindsay Lohan showed off a number of large angry bruises on her legs as she sunbathed on a Brazilian beach on Tuesday.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, who has been joined in Brazil by a large entourage and boyfriend Avi Snow, spent her day off by herself, soaking up the rays and paddling in the sea.
Last week Lindsay Lohan was spotted hiding under a table on the dirty floor of a Sao Paolo nightclub with her head in her hands
The painful-looking bruises could well have occurred during one of Lindsay Lohan’s nights out in Rio, where she’s spent the last week partying and working.
Last week Lindsay Lohan was spotted hiding under a table on the dirty floor of a Sao Paolo nightclub with her head in her hands, after another raucous night.
After soaking up the last few rays on the beach Lindsay Lohan returned to her hotel to get ready for her flight home.

Lindsay Lohan, 26, posted the update on Tuesday morning after her message on Monday evening caused the rumor mill to go into overdrive.
The actress – who is dating City Of The Sun guitarist Avi Snow – published the message: “Its official. Pregnant” at around 10.30 p.m. PST on Monday, April 1.
Lindsay Lohan’s initial tweet had drawn more than 17,000 retweets and been favorited more than 6,000 times, as of this morning.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton also weighed in on the tweet last night and dragged Amanda Bynes into the joke writing: “Win!! RT @AmandaBynes Hey hos! I just want you all to know that @lindsaylohan is having my baby and @PerezHilton is gonna be the godfather!”

Lindsay Lohan was last photographed in Brazil on Sunday night at Florianopolis Nightclub.
The actress’ new boyfriend Avi Snow recently opened up about their relationship, describing her as “a lot of fun”.
In his first interview since they were romantically linked, City Of The Sun guitarist Avi Snow refused to officially confirm or deny his relationship with Lindsay Lohan, but didn’t hold back in his compliments of the Mean Girls star.
Speaking to E! News at the band’s gig at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, Avi Snow said of Lindsay Lohan: “She’s really awesome, and she’s a lot of fun.”
Referring to Lindsay Lohan’s support of his band, Avi Snow said: “I would definitely call her one of our biggest supporters.”
Meanwhile Lindsay Lohan has demanded Adderall during her time in rehab.
The star has reportedly insisted she will only enter a court ordered treatment facility if she is allowed to have the prescription drug – used to treat Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder – which she claims she needs to function, according to TMZ.
Lindsay Lohan was recently sentenced to 90 days in rehab after pleading “no contest” to charges for lying to police about driving during a car crash last June but has jetted to Brazil for some partying and promotional appearances before entering the facility, which has horrified her father.
Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan was seen sporting a brightly colored bracelet, allegedly taken from the set of Anger Management, as she jetted from LA to Sao Paulo on Wednesday.
Today it has emerged that Lindsay Lohan apparently “stole” more items from the set of Charlie Sheen’s hit show.
According to TMZ, Lindsay Lohan, 26, took the bracelet, a necklace, earrings, trousers and shoes from show’s wardrobe department and went clubbing wearing the items.
It is alleged that she never returned the articles.
Lindsay Lohan allegedly took a bracelet, a necklace, earrings, trousers and shoes from Anger Management set
According to E!, Lindsay Lohan’s brightly colored bracelet came straight from the set of Anger Management after producers said she could wear it out after filming.
Allegedly she kept the bracelet, along with other items, after the show finished filming on Wednesday and the star was spotted wearing it as she landed in Brazil.
According the website, Lindsay Lohan claimed that the producers would deduct the value of the jewellery and other pieces from her pay, but according to sources the deal was never made.
The wardrobe supervisor also reportedly asked Lindsay Lohan to write a check to pay for the goods, but the actress refused, saying that she was allowed to have the price of the goods taken out of her paycheck.
But according to TMZ, Lindsay Lohan took off with the clothing and jewels before any kind of deal was agreed on.
Lindsay Lohan told friends she took two bracelets, a necklace, sunglasses, a pair of shoes, gold earrings, a silk bathrobe, lingerie and tap shorts.
But she is adamant that the wardrobe supervisor gave her the green light to leave with the items.
According to TMZ, Lindsay Lohan told her pals she would not be returning the clothing and accessories because in her mind “she has already paid for them”.
It wouldn’t be the first time Lindsay Lohan has waltzed away with jewellery – the star swiped a $2500 necklace from Kamofie & Co in California.
And despite previous reports that Lindsay Lohan was on time to the Anger Management set and extremely polite to fellow cast and crew members, insiders say her good behavior didn’t last for long.
They claim that Lindsay Lohan was “the biggest prima donna ever”, rocking up two hours late for her second day of filming.
Upon her arrival, Lindsay Lohan also refused to come out of her trailer for a further two hours.
The actress then later hit the nightclubs that evening and her bizarre behavior continued when she said that she would not be returning to the set the following day.
When Lindsay Lohan finally left the set Wednesday on completion of her filming, the crew allegedly broke out in a round of applause, pleased that she was off set.

Lindsay Lohan was snapped sitting on a dirty floor under a table at a nightclub later in Sao Paulo with her hand resting on her forehead.
Earlier on Thursday, Lindsay Lohan posed at the opening of a clothing store in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The nightclub picture was tweeted by a Brazilian who had attended the party, and according to the caption, Lindsay Lohan had climbed under the table to avoid taking pictures with fans.
“Bafão! In party in Sao Paulo, Lindsay Lohan refuses to take pictures and hides under the DJ table.”
Lindsay Lohan, who will enter a 90-day rehab in May, can be seen half reclining under the table, her skirt hiked up and her bare legs stretched out in front of her.
The trouble actress is leaning her head against the side of the table as she puts her head in her hand, flashing a smile for the camera.
A half drunk drink sits next to her on the floor, which is covered with dirt and cigarette ash.
A man can be seen crouching down to either look or talk to the star as he holds a cigarette in one hand.
Lindsay Lohan is in Sao Paulo to attend the opening of John John Denim’s flagship store.
The star was rumored to have been paid a six figure sum to open the new retail location.
Lindsay Lohan is rumored to be dating Avi Snow, City of the Sun musician and NYC Club Promoter, according to E! Online.
According to E!, Lindsay Lohan and Avi Snow relationship is said to be in “the early stages”.
Avi Snow was reportedly aboard Mr. Pink’s private jet that flew Lindsay Lohan to LA on Monday.
A source told E! Online that after Lindsay Lohan’s latest mug shot was taken on Tuesday, she went to City of the Sun’s show at 41 Ocean, a private club in Santa Monica, California.
However, another source insists that Lindsay Lohan and Avi Snow are just friends.

Lindsay Lohan has strongly denied reports she tried to slip into a Hollywood nightclub hours after she agreed to three months of rehab in a last-minute plea deal with prosecutors.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, was allegedly seen ducking in the back off an SUV idling in front of trendy AV Club on Monday night.
The trouble actress has admonished the reports, insisting she stayed in after her court hearing in which the presiding judge warned her to stay away from the party circuit.
Lindsay Lohan addressed the photo in question in a series of tweets on Tuesday, insisting she is taking the message and her impending stint in rehab seriously.
“Guys relax, that was NOT me at AV or in the @Mr. Pink SUV. I’m taking this seriously and focused on the road ahead,” Lindsay Lohan wrote.
“I stayed in last night, after a pretty long day…and ordered sushi to my hotel.”
Lindsay Lohan also warned critics not to believe “EVERY little thing you hear, unless you hear it from me”.
She continued to thank her fans for their well-wishes throughout her personal dramas.
“The support I have gotten, has been great and means alot <3 L,” she wrote.

Lindsay Lohan’s firm denial comes as a new mugshot of the star has been released. As TMZ reports, Lindsay Lohan was ordered to turn herself in to Santa Monica police shortly after entering her no contest plea.
Meanwhile her father has wasted no time revealing his shock at allegations she was accused of partying shortly after.
Michael Lohan, 52, exclaimed to RadarOnline: “Are you kidding me?”
“Just when you think things are getting better, the same people who were in court with Lindsay, and heard the judge instruct her NOT to be around people or places that drugs might be present, are the same ones out with her attempting to go into a club last night!”
“Maybe waiting 45 days is too long? I wish she’d let me pick out the rehab NOW (and even pay for it), but then again, Heller and Dina wouldn’t approve even if it was the best. Or will they pay?”
Lindsay Lohan accepted a plea deal in a misdemeanor car crash case that includes 90 days in a rehabilitation facility.
The deal followed over two hours of talks behind closed doors in the judge’s chambers between her legal team and prosecutors.

Lindsay Lohan’s father made it clear he’s not a fan of Mark Heller, his daughter’s attorney, before the star arrived for her Monday hearing in Los Angeles.
Objecting to Mark Heller’s presence in the middle of the hearing, Michael Lohan asked him: “Why are you still up there?!”
The 52-year-old celebrity father then launched a vitriolic attack on Mark Heller as he left the courthouse.
Michael Lohan held his own press conference after the proceedings.
But as Mark Heller walked by he was compelled to stop what he was doing and lunged at the lawyer, accusing him of using Lindsay Lohan for publicity.
“This guy is trying to cash in on my daughter’s notoriety for his own professional interests!” Michael Lohan fumed.
Michael Lohan also accused Mark Heller of owing him money and made further claims he isn’t licensed to practice law in New York.
Mark Heller walked by, bowing his head, and did not appear to engage with the patriarch.
The scene unfolded shortly after Lindsay Lohan pleaded no contest Monday to reckless driving, lying to police and obstructing officers who were investigating a car accident involving the actress in Santa Monica last June.

Lindsay Lohan was on probation when her sports car crashed on Pacific Coast Highway while on her way to a film shoot.As part of her plea deal with prosecutors, the actress will be required to attend 90 days in a locked rehab facility, perform 30 days of community labor and commit to 18 months of psychological therapy.
The deal followed over two hours of talks behind closed doors in the judge’s chambers between Lindsay Lohan’s legal team and prosecutors.
A mandatory sentence of five days in jail will be included in Lindsay Lohan’s rehab stay, which she will be able to complete in her native New York.
The trouble star was also found in violation of her probation in a 2011 necklace theft and sentenced to 180 days in jail. However, she will be able to avoid jail time if she complies with the conditions of her plea deal
Lindsay Lohan was also ordered not to have any contact with drug users and must submit to regular drug testing.
Michael Lohan was present throughout the proceedings, having secured local criminal attorney David Wohl of Wallin & Klarich as alternate counsel for his daughter should she approve a change in her legal team.
“@lindsaylohan My law firm was hired by your Dad. He wants nothing but the best for you. We will be there Monday to help, if we’re allowed,” David Wohl tweeted on Friday.
Mark Heller had drawn fire from a judge who questioned his knowledge of California law during a pre-trial hearing but Lindsay Lohan did not appear to have signed David Wohl on as his adviser.
Mark Heller has meanwhile been accused witness tampering amid claims he tried to coerce Lindsay Lohan’s assistant, Gavin Doyle, into saying he was behind the wheel during Lindsay’s June car crash.
According to TMZ, the Santa Monica City Attorney “will be launching an investigation and will interview Lohan’s ex-assistant Gavin Doyle tomorrow in the presence of police”.
Mark Heller has denied the accusations.
Michael Lohan’s tirade was only the latest act in a media circus on Monday, after Lindsay arrived 48 minutes late to the hearing.

Rapper Pitbull has seen Lindsay Lohan’s lawsuit against him quashed in court.
Lindsay Lohan sued Pitbull in 2011 for using her name in his hit song Give Me Everything when he used the line: “I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan.”
The actress claimed Pitbull never got permission to use her name and shouldn’t profit from its use.
But on Thursday – according to TMZ – a New York federal judge ruled that Lindsay Lohan wrong because the song is a work of art protected by the first.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, was recently accused of ruining the $1,750 designer dress she borrowed for a glitzy New York gala earlier this month.
She wore a floor-length gold and silver beaded gown by Theia Coture to an amfAR fundraiser on February 6.
But a photo of the gown obtained by US Weekly appears to show the same gown cut into a mini dress before its return to the designer.

Lindsay Lohan appeared in court on Wednesday for a hearing relating to a lying to police and reckless driving over a car crash in June last year on Pacific Coast Highway.
Lindsay Lohan was told by Judge Stephanie Sautner that she could still be found in violation of her probation – even if a jury finds her not guilty.
Judge Stephanie Sautner set a trial date for next month, and dryly commented to Lindsay Lohan: “I’m glad to see you’re feeling better,” in reference to the actress almost not showing up on health grounds.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, confirmed that Mark Heller, her new lawyer, will represent her in the case, after cutting ties with long-time attorney Shawn Holley.
The actress hesitated when asked if she was comfortable with the change in legal representation – but agreed.
She is facing jail over claims she lied to police over a car crash in June last year on Pacific Coast Highway.
At the time Lindsay Lohan told police her assistant Gavin Doyle was driving her Porsche – but he later told police it was in fact Lindsay behind the wheel.
Lindsay Lohan, whose probation stemming from her 2011 jewellery theft case was formally revoked in December, has been told that even if jurors find her not guilty in the trial, she could still be found in violation of her probation, because the standard of proof is lower.
Essentially that means a jail term could still be on the cards.

New York lawyer Mark Heller attempted to court favor with the judge, asking her about her NYC link as a former detective in the Big Apple.
“That was in another life,” Stephanie Sautner fired back.
“Flattery does not get your anywhere in this court.”
Stephanie Sautner also revealed that she is retiring later this month – so will not be the judge in Lindsay Lohan’s trial.
“I’m retiring before the 1st March,” she said referring to Lindsay Lohan’s next hearing.
“Not that I planned it this way.”
The next hearing will be March 1, while the trial has been set for March 18.
Lindsay Lohan arrived seven minutes late for the hearing, turning up at 8:37 a.m. local time for her 8:30 a.m. hearing wearing a sleeveless black dress with keyhole detailing at the back and her hair up in a ponytail.
She looked deflated throughout proceedings as the legal teams discussed dates and scheduling.
A source previously said: “Mark believes he can get Lindsay acquitted of all criminal charges stemming from her car accident in Santa Monica last summer.
“Lindsay has convinced Mark that she never lied to cops when they asked her if she was driving the car that day.
“There was a plea bargain offer on the table for Lindsay to go to rehab for nine months, but she absolutely refused that. Mark won’t sign off on a deal that sends Lindsay to rehab for more than 60 days.”

It seems Lindsay Lohan has managed to take on another legend in the guise of Marilyn Monroe for another movie.
Although Lindsay Lohan has taken a rather more controversial slant to the role of the iconic beauty.
A trailer for upcoming film InAPPropriate Comedy shows Lindsay Lohan in her cameo alongside Adrien Brody in the eyebrow raising picture.
And it seems Lindsay Lohan’s up to her usual controversial antics as she’s seen wearing a white dress like the one worn by Marilyn Monroe during her iconic moment when her dress blows up in The Seven Year Itch.
Lindsay Lohan mimics the moment by standing on a pavement with her similar halterneck white frock blowing up in the air to almost reveal her modesty.
She even completed her look with platinum blonde hair and lashings of lipstick to emphasize her pout.
And then Lindsay Lohan can be seen facing a row or paparazzi before taking a gun hidden from behind her dress and shooting the photographers.
Lindsay Lohan having a Marilyn Monroe moment in InAPPropriate Comedy trailer
A description for the movie details Lindsay Lohan’s moment as her character living out “her fantasy of taking an ultimate revenge on the salivating paparazzi who haunt her”.
Lindsay Lohan appears alongside Adrien Brody in the comedy, which lives up to its name if the new trailer is anything to go by.
She is also due to appear in the thriller The Canyons with James Deen, and Scary Movie 5 with Charlie Sheen later this year.
It makes a nice change for Lindsay Lohan to be showing she’s been hard at work as opposed to her usual press for her off screen antics.
On Monday Lindsay Lohan even made headlines for being a no-show in court.
The troubled 26-year-old, who is widely reported to have severe money problems, is accused of punching a fellow clubber in the face during a nightclub brawl on November 29.
Lindsay Lohan was arrested and charged with third degree misdemeanor assault following the incident.
But as the troubled star failed to make an appearance in court on Monday, her lawyer revealed that she had no need to worry.
In fact he bizarrely told waiting reporters how a “fortune teller has predicted an extremely lucky 2013” for his client.
Lindsay Lohan is currently trying to pay back her debts after the IRS froze her bank accounts, but she is not for hire, despite recent claims from a talent agency sending mass emails offering her services for Bar Mitzvahs.
According to TMZ, a North Carolina company called 123 Talent recently offered to book Lindsay Lohan for small-scale appearances.
The emails allegedly listed her film credits but left out her booking fee.
However, sources close to the troubled starlet said she never signed any deal with the company.
123 Talent was apparently in talks with Lindsay Lohan’s team but they’ve since “decided to go in a another direction”.
The CEO of the agency then added: “Unfortunately, we are not working with Lindsay Lohan.”
123 Talent agency is sending mass emails offering Lindsay Lohan’s services for Bar Mitzvahs
They have booked nightclub appearances for names like singers Crystal Waters and Samantha Cole, and former WWE diva Barbie Blank.
And on the company’s website, they boast about having coordinated the talent for the upcoming First Annual Celebrity Golf Classic in Seoul, South Korea taking place next April.
Among the big names golfing for the Jimmy V Foundation include actors John Cusack, Catherine Zeta Jones, Andy Garcia, socialite Paris Hilton, singer Brian McKnight, and ice-skating champ Kristy Yamaguchi.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, who has been arrested six times, is currently facing up to 245 days in the slammer for her recent probation violation, for allegedly lying to cops last June after her car crash on Pacific Coast Highway.
The flame-haired actress was last seen putting on a brave face at the Organice Your Life Annual Holiday Party in New York Friday night.
Lindsay Lohan has three films coming out next year, including the comedy InAPPropriate Comedy with Adrien Brody, the thriller The Canyons with James Deen, and Scary Movie 5 with Charlie Sheen.
Lindsay Lohan reportedly sent a belated thank you note with flowers to Charlie Sheen to show her gratitude for a $100,000 loan the actor reportedly gave the star to help settle her IRS debts, totaling $233,904.
Lindsay Lohan has reportedly turned to selling off her extensive wardrobe of designer clothes as a way of raising funds.
The Liz And Dick star has apparently been sending her little sister Ali Lohan to hawk her wares at a Los Angeles shop that specializes in second hand threads.
According to Radar, Lindsay Lohan has been sending the 18-year-old to the popular Wasteland store loaded down with clothes, shoes and accessories.
An eyewitness told the website Ali Lohan, who apparently had a significantly larger bust than previously, turned up to the shop with bags stuffed full of items.
She then tried to broker a deal with the manager of the establishment, but was disappointed after being offered far less than she anticipated.
Ali Lohan reportedly shouted: “Thirty dollars for these? They cost $700! This is ridiculous!”
The wannabe singer then tried haggle the price upwards for the items, which included a pair of round-toe Chanel pumps and a Balenciaga purse.

Ali Lohan even tried to change her bartering tactics, arguing that because her infamous sister had worn them on red carpets and at photo shoots they are worth extra.
She said: “These have to be worth more, Lindsay was photographed wearing them, that has to add value.”
Apparently not however, as the manager refused to move the price and she left with significantly less cash than hoped for.
Lindsay Lohan may have to sell off even more of her possessions in future, as reviews of her performance in TV film Liz And Dick have been awful, with Entertainment Weekly branding it a “drab, damp little TV-movie”.
Her performance was also lambasted, with the magazine’s Ken Tucker saying: “No effort seems to have gone into Lohan’s preparation other than to have her eyes tinted.”
Meanwhile Lindsay Lohan will soon find out if she will be charged over her alleged assault of Tiffany Mitchell during a November 29 nightclub brawl.
A source told Radar: “The Assistant DA handling the case will decide next week whether or not to formally charge Lindsay.
“They’re currently going over all of the evidence and met with Tiffany and her attorney, Gloria Allred earlier this week for three hours.
“The meeting was very productive and provided the prosecutors and cops with further insight into what allegedly happened that night.
“The NYPD thinks that there is more than enough evidence to charge Lindsay with a crime and a lot of the cops think that if she isn’t charged, it will just embolden her to misbehave even more! There definitely is a sense among the investigators that Lindsay has absolutely no respect for the law, and that the only place for someone like Lindsay is behind bars.”
Lindsay Lohan was arrested after allegedly punching Tiffany Mitchell in the face after an argument at the Avenue night club.
Several eyewitnesses came forward claiming the actress had been drinking heavily and doing cocaine before the brawl
She is also set to be formally charge at court on December 12 on three misdemeanor charges of lying to cops, reckless driving and obstructing or resisting a police officer in the performance of his duty.
Lindsay Lohan is not however expected to attend the proceedings unless ordered by the judge.
Lindsay Lohan’s bank accounts have been seized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) so the US government can recover some of the huge outstanding tax debt she owes.
The government previously filed liens against Lindsay Lohan for 2009 and 2010, claiming she owes $233,904 in unpaid federal taxes.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, has already been helped out by her friend Charlie Sheen, who gave her $100,000 to help her get back on track with her finances, but sources tell website TMZ she’s still falling dramatically short, as she also owes money for 2011.
She has spent most of this year trying to get her career back on track, and after filming roles in TV movie Liz and Dick and The Canyons as well as stripping off naked for a Playboy photo shoot, she is set to earn more than $2 million by the end of this year.
After a lengthy bout of legal troubles and spells in jail and rehab came to an end earlier this year, last week she was involved in an altercation at a New York nightclub, leading to charges of third degree misdemeanor assault, which she denies.

Lindsay Lohan had also been charged with lying to police about being behind the wheel of a car accident in June, and could have her probation revoked.
She is also reportedly refusing to enter rehab, telling friends who are trying to get her to seek help she doesn’t need to go to a treatment facility for the sixth time.
Sources have said she has been drinking up to two liters of vodka a day.
Meanwhile it has emerged Lindsay Lohan is “freaked out” about the possibility of spending Christmas behind bars.
Lindsay Lohan has apparently been downing up to two litres of vodka a day for the past two months, culminating in her early morning arrest on Thursday after a drink-addled nightclub brawl in New York.
According to insiders, Lindsay Lohan, 26, has been in turmoil over her worrying financial situation and impending probation violation, stemming from her June car crash.
On Thursday things came to a dramatic head when Lindsay Lohan allegedly assaulted psychic Tiffany Eve Mitchell at Manhattan’s Avenue nightclub.
According to TMZ, Lindsay Lohan had been drinking all day on Wednesday prior to the incident but denies punching the psychic.
The website also claim that Lindsay Lohan admitted that she did call Tiffany Mitchell a gypsy but she was unaware the term was a slur.
According to sources, Tiffany Mitchell had approached Lindsay Lohan to give her a reading but Lohan declined the offer. Then the Mean Girls actress was told that Tiffany Mitchell’s friends had stolen her purse and that is when she confronted her and called her gypsy.
Lindsay Lohan had earlier arrived to Justin Bieber’s New York concert that night already inebriated, to watch support act The Wanted, the website claims.
Apparently 24-year-old Max George, one of the members of the British boyband who Lindsay Lohan has a crush on, was also implicated in the cat fight. Lindsay Lohan is said to have lashed out at 28-year-old Tiffany Mitchell for flirting with Max George.

Lindsay Lohan is also said to be depressed after her TV movie Liz & Dick bombed – and was met with scathing reviews from critics – only adding to her woes, Radar reports.
An insider told TMZ how Lindsay Lohan – who has struggled with addiction and been banned from drinking by a court order in the past – will sometimes kick off her day with a drink and carry on into the evening.
Her excessive drinking is said to be affecting her relationship with her friends “because of the violent tantrums alcohol triggers”.
Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan’s alleged victim Tiffany Mitchell was spotted out in New York on Friday, and went for a meeting with powerhouse attorney and feminist lawyer Gloria Allred, who has played a part in many of America’s most high profile cases over nearly four decades.
Gloria Allred was involved in the OJ Simpson trial, represented Spice Girl Mel B in her paternity battle with Eddie Murphy and Tiger Woods’ mistress Rachel Uchitel among many others.
After her arrest on Wednesday night Lindsay Lohan even appears to be falling out with her friends, with her assistant Gavin Doyle telling her to “get help” via Twitter after an altercation on Thursday.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, kicked Gavin Doyle out of her car after he bailed her out at the police station in New York Thursday morning, according to Gawker and The New York Post, who have posted video of the incident.
Gawker has published a transcript of the altercation which happened when Lindsay Lohan emerged following her arrest for allegedly punching psychic Tiffany Eve Mitchell at Manhattan’s Avenue nightclub.
After Gavin Doyle gets into the car, Lindsay Lohan is heard yelling: “Gavin get out of the car, get out of the car Gavin! Get him out of the car, now! Gavin get out! Gavin get out of the f***** car. Now.”
Gavin Doyle is alleged to have replied: “Okay. Never speak to me again,” before striding down the street with his jacket over his head.
Earlier, he tweeted under moniker SaveTheSociety: “@lindsaylohan after bailing you out last night I HOPE and PRAY you get the help you so desperately need. We are ALL rooting for you. Xxx”
He then added: “Life is NOT a movie it’s a reality that needs to be faced.”
According to Gawker, things may have become strained between the pair after his testimony to police about the car crash contradicted Lindsay Lohan’s story.
Lindsay Lohan was charged with “wilfully resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer in the course of their duties, providing false information to a police officer, and reckless driving”.
The actress told police that Gavin Doyle was driving the Porsche on the Pacific Coast Highway when it crashed into the back of a truck, insisting she was in the passenger seat.

However, in a statement, the Santa Monica Police Department said they now believe this was not the case.
“During the subsequent investigation, information was developed that Lohan was the driver of the Porsche when the accident occurred,” the statement said.
According to a TMZ report published earlier this month, Gavin Doyle told police he was riding in the passenger seat during an interview with police post-crash.
Despite Gavin Doyles’s tweets on Thursday, things appeared to be fine between he and Lindsay Lohan back in September, when Lohan tweeted: “Can’t live without @SaveTheSociety he’s my BFF.”
Police charged Lindsay Lohan with the three misdemeanor counts stemming from the collision, hours after the troubled starlet was arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault, for allegedly punching Florida psychic Tiffany Eve Mitchell at Club Avenue in Manhattan’s fashionable meatpacking district.
TMZ said Lindsay Lohan had been drinking heavily and lashed out in a stand-off over Max George, one of the members of British boy band The Wanted, who were also at the club after playing a concert in New York.
Lindsay Lohan is said to have a crush on Max George, 24, and attempted to get backstage to see the hunk after Justin Bieber concert.
Despite being banned, she met up with the boyband at the celebrity haunt, and the evening descended into chaos as Max George started chatting up another woman – not married Tiffany Eve Mitchell – riling Lindsay Lohan.
Max George split from his fiancée, British soap star Michelle Keegan, in August.
A band source said: “Max is a single guy, he is flirtatious, and a lot of women find him attractive. He’s free to play around.”
Max George tweeted “eventual night” on Thursday afternoon.
Lindsay Lohan and a friend joined Max George and his bandmates Jay McGuiness and Tom Parker at the club.
Apparently a fight broke out near where a riled Lindsay Lohan, a very drunk Max George and the Mitchells were partying – and it is not yet clear how it involved The Wanted singer.

Lindsay Lohan has been arrested after allegedly punching psychic Tiffany Eve Mitchell at New York’s Avenue nightclub in the early hours of Thursday morning – in a row over Max George from The Wanted.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, was at Avenue in Manhattan’s trendy Meatpacking district, where she is believed to have punched Tiffany Eve Mitchell, 28, a blonde psychic card reader from Florida.
The flame-haired star is said to have a crush on Max George, 24, and attempted to get backstage to see the hunk after his chart-topping band supported Justin Bieber at Madison Square Garden.

But Tiffany Mitchell’s husband Wayne Stevens said outside their Upper East Side home: “We didn’t know it was Lindsay Lohan and it just kind of escalated because someone else had a brawl out in there.
“The bouncer was having a fight with someone else, and I grabbed my wife right next to me and my friends had their wives.
“Then there were girls behind us and after it was over, one of them went and pushed my wife pretty hard – I don’t know why she pushed her.
“About five minutes later she comes round and tells my wife <<I need space>> and then she just punched her.
“After that, the bouncer didn’t want to help, nobody wanted to help, and they said <<there’s nothing we can do>>, so I went and called the police myself.
“A bouncer told me they’re not throwing her out because she’s Lindsay Lohan – I said <<well my wife got punched by Lindsay Lohan>>. We couldn’t understand why the bouncers weren’t throwing her out.”
He added: “My wife is still very sore, she’s very distressed, her cheekbone is aching. She’s all mindboggled right now, I’m going to take her to the doctor.”
When asked about Max George, Wayne Stevens said: “I could see there was something else going on, but we had nothing to do with it. We were just caught up in something that was nothing to do with us.”
This morning, Lindsay Lohan – still clad in her tight green mini-dress and black heels from her night out – left a Manhattan police station with a jacket over her head, while Tiffany Mitchell, Wayne Stevens and a friend were also seen leaving another precinct.

Lindsay Lohan, 26, was celebrity club Avenue in Manhattan’s trendy Meatpacking district, where she is believed to have punched Tiffany Eve Mitchell, 28, leaving her face bruised and swollen.
This morning, Lindsay Lohan – still clad in her tight green minidress and black heels from her night out – left a Manhattan police station with a jacket over her head, while Tiffany Eve Mitchell, her husband and a friend were also seen leaving another precinct.
And her day has just got worse as it has been revealed the actress will today face four different charges on different coasts.
Tiffany Eve Mitchell comes from Palm Beach, Florida, where she owns Palm Beach Psychic Visions. Before that, she owned another psychic business and is believed to have only recently moved to New York.
She reads palms and tarot cards and according to the Palm Beach Daily News, she goes by the name “Ava”.
A police source told the New York Post that Tiffany Eve Mitchell and Lindsay Lohan were sitting in separate VIP sections when a fight broke out nearby and both women stood up to watch.
Tiffany Eve Mitchell and Lindsay Lohan bumped into each other and words were exchanged with onlookers claiming that Lohan said: “Give me my space”, but both returned to their seats.
Then Lindsay Lohan allegedly got back up and punched Tiffany Eve Mitchell in the face.
Police sources said Tiffany Eve Mitchell claimed the actress knocked her to the ground with a strong blow to the left side of her face, with sources saying Mitchell “suffered swelling and substantial pain to the face”, but refused medical attention.

Police were called, and Tiffany Eve Mitchell identified Lindsay Lohan as her attacker.
Lindsay Lohan had already left the venue but police later intercepted a car in which she was passenger and made the arrest.
As she was led away in handcuffs, the star is believed to have yelled: “Oh my God! I didn’t touch anyone!”
She kept repeating: “Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?”
Lindsay Lohan was later taken to the 10th Precinct Station House in Manhattan, where she was accused of misdemeanor assault.
She received a desk appearance ticket and will have to appear in court on January 11. She was described as being “visibly tired”.
Lindsay Lohan and a large group left several hours later around 7:30 a.m. with her head covered by a dark coat as they walked to a waiting car, as the actress was heard yelling at someone “get out of the car Gavin, get of the car now” several times.
“It’s become a pastime to use her name and fame and blame things on her,” said Gavin Doyle, a Lindsay Lohan assistant.
Earlier this morning, Tiffany Eve Mitchell, her friend and a man, believed to be her husband, left another police station in Manhattan.
While the women didn’t speak, the man said: “Lindsay Lohan got drunk and went crazy…hit my wife.”
Avenue nightclub does not even bear a sign at its front door.
The club boasts patrons including Rihanna and her on-off beau Chris Brown, who were seen at the nightspot together in July.
It is also where Katy Perry and ex-husband Russell Brand shared a kiss after meeting at the MTV music awards in September 2009.
Demi Moore and her ex-husband Ashton Kutcher have also partied there, while Fergie and will.i.am from the Black Eye Peas have DJd there.
It is owned by millionaire Noah Tepperberg, the ringmaster of a string of New York nightclubs including Marquee, as well as Lavo in Las Vegas.
It was the second time this week that Lindsay Lohan went to the club. She was spotted there on Tuesday night, as was Jennifer Lopez and Justin Timberlake.
The club is a small venue which offers mostly expensive bottle service. A drink alone is between $15 and $20 each. There is a small club downstairs and a more intimate lounge upstairs.
While champagne is carried out by stunning waitresses holding the bottles high through the air, with sparklers attached.

Lindsay Lohan has been arrested after getting into a fight at Club Avenue in New York City and allegedly punching another woman.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, was at the Club Avenue venue on Wednesday when she reportedly got into an altercation with a fellow female patron.
Police sources said the 28-year-old victim was at first involved in a scuffle with another woman before and altercation with Lindsay Lohan. The victim, described as a 28-year-old white woman, was left with bruising and swelling, according to the police.
Lindsay Lohan was taken to a nearby police station at around 4 a.m. local time accused of misdemeanor assault, and was seen emerging with a coat over her head later in the day.
The victim was not said to be in need of medical attention following the altercation.
But this is far from the Liz & Dick star’s only legal woe at present.
Lindsay Lohan arrived back in New York City from Los Angeles last week, and is expected to face a judge in the next few days where her probation is thought to be revoked.
According to TMZ, Lindsay Lohan will reportedly be charged for lying to police about being behind the wheel during a car accident with a truck on the Pacific Coast Highway in June.
Although Lindsay Lohan originally claimed her assistant Gavin Doyle was the one driving her Porsche at the time of the crash, he later told police it was, in fact, her who was behind the wheel.

Sources have told TMZ that the Santa Monica City Attorney will be ready to file a criminal case over the next few days, and it will then go to Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Jane Godfrey for arraignment, a legal procedure in which a person is formally charged with the crime.
The insiders said that once Lindsay Lohan is charged, Judge Jane Godfrey will revoke her probation and schedule a full hearing to about the alleged violation.
Sources previously revealed that Lindsay Lohan could face “significant jail time” after lying to the police.
Lindsay Lohan has been on probation since being found guilty of stealing a necklace in July 2011, for which she was sentenced to 120 days in prison and 480 hours of community service.
The actress recently cancelled an interview with Barbara Walters on the advice of her new PR team after a tough few months, which also saw her accuse mother Dina Lohan of taking cocaine and foil an intervention attempt by her father Michael Lohan.
In recent weeks. the actress has being doing a lot of promotion for her Lifetime TV movie about the life of Elizabeth Taylor – but has refused to answer any questions about the case.
Friends close to the star previously said she was “terrified” about her probation being revoked as she is desperately trying to get her life back on track.
Lindsay Lohan has a complex legal history that includes drink driving convictions and her infamous no-contest plea to the jewellery theft last year.
In May 2007, Lindsay Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and this led to her heading for rehab for 45 days.
And in July that year, Lindsay Lohan refused to take a sobriety test and was taken to a police station where her blood alcohol level was over the limit. She also had some cocaine in her pocket.
She later spent 23 days in jail after she was found guilty of violating her probation because she failed to perform her community service at a Los Angeles morgue.
In September, it emerged she was being investigated for allegedly hitting a pedestrian with her Porsche while on a night out in Manhattan, with the victim claiming she smelled of alcohol and had been slurring her words, and that she treated him like a “nothing”.
However, Lindsay Lohan recently admitted she was learning from her mistakes.
Speaking after the premiere of new movie Liz & Dick, she said: “You have life experiences, and I’ve had some very traumatic ones, very serious ones.
“You draw from experiences, that’s where I am right now. I’m drawing from the things I’ve seen and grown up with. I don’t want to go back.”

Lindsay Lohan’s performance as Hollywood great Elizabeth Taylor in new biopic Liz & Dick has been met with jibes and laughter by critics after sparking thousands of Twitter jibes.
Lindsay Lohan, 26, made her hotly anticipated appearance as the Oscar winner on Lifetime movie Liz & Dick, watched by a not-so impressive 3.5 million viewers, the network has revealed.
The movie covered the tumultuous 12-year love affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, whose famously volatile relationship saw them marry twice.
Despite violet-tinted eyes and a black wig, Lindsay Lohan failed to pull off a convincing performance – boasting an accent that seemed to owe more to her native Long Island than Elizabeth Taylor’s dulcet English tones.
Today, the Huffington Post reported Lindsay Lohan was “devastated” by the reaction to Liz & Dick as a close friend said: “She has got used to all the negative press around her personal life but this is the first time she has experienced it about her work. No matter how bad things were going for her personally, everyone would always agree that she was a great actress.”
Another source added: “Lindsay has already read her own press. She knew the script wasn’t strong but thought she would bring the role of Elizabeth to life. This is particularly heartbreaking as her acting was the only thing in her life that she knew was real. Now she is doubting that, too.”
Thousands of viewers tuned in and made fun of the made-for-TV movie on Twitter while it was on air – including, ominously for Lindsay Lohan, many high profile TV writers and producers.
Model Christine Teigen tweeted that Lindsay Lohan was better in her breakout role in The Parent Trap – filmed when she just 11.
The brunette, who is engaged to singer John Legend, added: “Poor John. I know I had to watch 30 hours of football but he doesn’t deserve this. No one deserves this.”
While writer Liz Meriwether, who is the creator of hit sitcom New Girl, mocked the scene where Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor faints upon hearing the news of Richard Burton’s death, tweeting: “Oh my God. I think that was the funniest thing I’ve seen in TV for a while and I write comedy for television.”
Elan Galen, producer of ABC’s The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor Pad, added: “Lindsay Lohan breaks new ground and shows her versatility in Liz and Dick by playing a chain-smoking emotional wreck pill-popping alcoholic.”
Writer Ben Widdicombe tweeted: “Can we have Hilary Duff as Grace Kelly next please? Maybe Snooki as Audrey Hepburn?”
However, one stood by Lindsay Lohan – Lady Gaga – who posted the message: “You did a beautiful job on Liz & Dick, Let no one bring u down, Liz didnt, they always try to knock the greats down a few pegs.”
This was despite the fact that Lady Gaga had not watched the show and is currently in Paraguay on tour.
Lindsay Lohan’s performance as Hollywood great Elizabeth Taylor in new biopic Liz & Dick has been met with jibes and laughter by critics
While Liz & Dick might have taken over social media during its Sunday night premiere, in terms of actual viewers the Lifetime movie failed to impress.
According to the network, 3.5 million viewers tuned in – a far cry from Lifetime’s revamped Steel Magnolias, starring Queen Latifah, averaged 6.5 million viewers in October.
This means that Liz & Dick clocks in as the fourth most-watched original movie premiere on an ad-supported cable network for 2012, behind Steel Magnolias, Drew Peterson: Untouchable and Abducted: The Carlina White Story.
To add insult to injury, Liz & Dick was panned by all critics, with The Hollywood Reporter’s Tim Goodman calling Lindsay Lohan “woeful as Taylor from start to finish”, calling the movie “spectacularly bad” and a “classic of unintentional hilarity”.
“At one point, Lohan has to shout, <<I won’t live without you!>> and then run down a hall. It’s like a high school play,” Tim Goodman writes.
“By the time Lohan is playing mid-’80s Taylor and it looks like a lost Saturday Night Live skit, your body may be cramped by convulsions,” he says, before suggesting the movie was made for drinking games.
Meanwhile, TV Guide’s Matt Roush called the made-for-TV drama a |well-timed candidate for the TV Turkey Hall of Fame”.
He wrote: “Even deep breaths seem too much to ask of Lindsay Lohan these days, let alone capturing the essence of an exotic film goddess who reigned for years as a superstar sex symbol.
“The most authentic moment occurs when Liz informs Dick, <<I can’t tell you a thing about acting>>. Tell us something we don’t know. And later, during one of the many tantrums and benders that constitute a story line, Liz cries, <<I’m a joke!>> The joke is on anyone who tunes in hoping for a memorable TV train wreck.”
“You’ll find more exciting chemistry in a high-school lab than between Lohan and her Richard Burton, Grant Bowler.”
Ken Tucker at Entertainment Weekly called it a “peculiar, drab, damp little TV-movie”, adding: “When she opens her mouth, Lohan doesn’t speak in the high-register, almost girlish voice that Taylor was using well into her 20s – instead, we heard the raspy rattle familiar to anyone who’s seen Lohan on TMZ or in the ABC Family movie Labor Pains.
“No effort seems to have gone into Lohan’s preparation other than to have her eyes tinted Liz-violet.”
Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times referred to the dialogue as “laughable”, while Reuter’s Tim Molloy said it was “redundant and boring in a way no star could save”.
Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club adds: “Liz & Dick arrives on the small screen with a giant <<kick me>> sign rooted both in Lohan’s tabloid infamy and the sad overreaching of trying to chronicle an epic love affair that unfolded across continents and decades on a tiny television movie budget.
“It’s a testament to how badly Liz & Dick misses the mark that Taylor receiving news of Burton’s death inspires the film’s biggest unintentional guffaws. At least he has the release of being put out of its misery, a fate that should have befallen this misbegotten vanity project before shooting even began.”
While Jill O’Rourke at Crushable added: “Lohan portrays Taylor as a childish brat, like a teenager playing dress-up in her mother’s furs and jewels.
“It was reported that Megan Fox was also considered for the role of Taylor. After watching Lohan’s portrayal, I would love to see Fox take on the role. For that matter, I think they could have just given Grant Bowler [who plays Burton] a brunette wig, violet contacts and a beauty mark, and he could have played both roles. It still would probably have been better than what we got.”
Even Liz & Dick executive producer Larry Thompson admitted taking on Lindsay Lohan was a risk, telling Entertainment Weekly: “I want the best for Lindsay Lohan and anybody who ever hires her. But they have to know that making a movie with Lindsay Lohan is like jumping out of an airplane at 10,000 feet with a bolt of white nylon, a string, and a sewing machine. You’re building a parachute as fast as you can.”
Lindsay Lohan herself had seemed to be the only person who seemed to be proud of the project as she tweeted throughout the screening of Liz & Dick last night.
Although she never met Elizabeth Taylor, who died aged 79 last year, Lindsay Lohan said the star had sent her a ring as a gift.
Lindsay Lohan said: “I always admired and respected her….Beauty. Strength. Passion. Poise. Intelligence. She stood for ALL of it & did a great job!”
She added: “2 get 2 feel like 1 of the most amazing women in the world was a thrill all around & wearing the jewels wasn’t bad! “
Her father, Michael Lohan, also thought his daughter’s performance proved once again that she is right up there with Meryl Streep as he told the Huffington Post: “Due to the content, I had to step away from a lot of the scenes, but regardless of what some of these so-called critics, who don’t have an ounce of talent in their bones say, Lindsay proved that she is an amazing actress.
“This was a different role for her at a difficult time of her life. She still has what it takes to be the Lindsay Lohan that is one of Hollywood’s top actresses.”

Lindsay Lohan prepares to unveil to the world her take on Elizabeth Taylor in the new TV biopic Liz & Dick, as Life magazine releases a series of vintage photos of the star.
Elizabeth Taylor, an American film legend who passed away in 2011 at age 79, appeared on the cover of Life magazine 14 times, starting when she was just 15 years old, and already an old pro in the movie business.
During the following decades, many esteemed photographers were eager to capture the smouldering thespian at work, cavorting with her many husbands and paramours and always surrounded by hordes of adoring fans.
Many of the stunning black-and-white shots never made it onto the pages of the magazine, like a picture of the fresh-faced 18-year-old Taylor getting married for the first time in a lily-white princess gown.
Her marriage to Nicky Hilton in 1950 lasted less than a year, and by 1952 the young beauty tied the knot for a second time.
The treasure trove of Life‘s behind-the-scene photos feature images from the set of Cleopatra, where Liz Taylor starred in the larger-than-life title role opposite her two-time husband, Richard Burton as Marc Anthony.
In a note sent in March 1962 from the set of Cleopatra in Rome, a Life reporter wrote that Elizabeth Taylor “looks absolutely relaxed” and visibly enjoying the company of her handsome co-star.

One candid shot in the series shows Elizabeth Taylor as a 13-year-old girl in 1945 signing autographs for a young sailor during a charity event in Los Angeles. By that point, she had already starred in five films.
In another image, the British-born star is depicted wearing a sweatshirt belonging to her football player boyfriend with the words “All American” emblazoned across the front.
A few years later, a Life photographer caught a glimpse of Elizabeth Taylor chatting with her lifelong friend and co-star in A Place in the Sun, Montgomery Cliff, during a break on the Paramount lot.
The release of the photos depicting the quintessential movie icon set the stage for the highly anticipated premiere of Liz & Dick on Lifetime, which focuses on Taylor’s tempestuous relationship with Richard Burton.
