· Finally, some good news for Lindsay Lohan: After convincing Poor Things producers Shirley MacLaine and Rob Hickman that she’s confident she’ll be able to step right in and disrupt their production with blown call times and suspicious absences the moment she gets out of rehab, they’ve agreed to rearrange their shooting schedule to accommodate the troubled actress’s inconvenient trip to Promises.

The Bastard Son Who Keeps Tagging Along When Green Lantern Is Trying To Fight Sinestro!*) Teen Titans. [THR]

· How hot is 1939 right now? Writer/director Diane English is going forward with a long-gestating remake of 1939’s The Women, assembling what she hopes is the ultimate chick flick cast, one that spans generations and levels of acting ability: Meg Ryan, Annette Bening, Eva Mendes, Jada Pinkett Smith, Debra Messing, and Candice Bergen.
