Lindsay Lohan's Intolerable Shit Costs Her 'Manson' Role
Posted by Seth at 11:00 AM on May 9, 2008
Semi-rehabilitated celebrity minknapper Lindsay Lohan was all set to star in charmingly titled anti-romantic comedy The Manson Girls, the second installment of her Great Homicidal Psychopaths of Modern History Trilogy that began with Chapter 27 and was to conclude with her harrowing performance as the Austrian incest dungeon victim in The Basement, a Starz Original Film. But as Deadline Hollywood Daily now reports, Lohan has been let go from the production:
Lindsay in the true life crime film was to play the dramatic part of Nancy Pitman, a pampered surfer girl who became enthralled with Charlie Manson. But insiders explain that Lohan quickly became more of a deficit than an asset when they discovered that they couldn't find any name actresses who wanted to co-star with her.
(And even some name actors...) So now Lindsay is off the pic. Let this be a lesson... Behaving badly may get you on the covers of celebrity-obsessed mags and tabloids. But Hollywood won't tolerate your shit and shouldn't.
What Lohan's starlet non grata status means for her other current projects is still too soon to say. Certainly, everything seemed to be hunky dory on the set of Ugly Betty, which saw the actress returning to vintage, Mean Girls-era Lohan for a schoolyard bullying sequence which may or may not involve beating up Christian Siriano. As for Ye Olde Times, a Jack Black comedy set in a Medieval Times-style restaurant, we have yet to hear anything about producers having second thoughts about their choice to put the troubled actress in the small but pivotal role of Busty Serving Wench #2, a good sign that at least some in Hollywood are still fully prepared to tolerate Lindsay's shit.

I find it hard to believe that Lindsay was the sole reason they couldn't get other "name actresses." I assume these actresses did in fact know the subject of the movie.

LOL!!! Hollywood will tolerate all types of bullshit if there is any cash to be made.

It's crazy that she was netting $12 mil a picture, was starring in $100 million box office movies and because of her moronic choices, the DUI(s), the partying, etc. she ruined her entire career. I don't think she can recover, she's no Robert Downey Jr.

When Elie Samaha is the most trustworthy name in a Nikki Finke article you know you're looking at a car wreck.

There's got to be a story that could be built around casting Lohan, Tara Reid, Sally Kirkland, and Sylvia Miles in the same picture - some kind of dregs-of-the-earth multigenerational saga/Steel Magnolias-on-crack kind of thing. With a special theme song duet by Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston.

@BrandonGK: But the last movie she made that made a lot of money was Herbie: Fully Loaded.

If the story has a grain of truth, it's that other name actresses realized they wouldn't get a tenth of the press of Lohan, not that they expected her not to work.

Fine, Lindsay's doing a Britney and getting some face-time on TV, but damn it, I like Ugly Betty - get her off!

@pixie-stix: The small screen may be the only place open to LiLo at this point. (Not that she belongs on Ugly Betty.)
On second thought, with the production's move to NYC, it would be a way to get her the hell out of Hollywood.

Wait until IRON WOMAN triumphantly hits the screen starring Lohan and.. bombs horribly. = (

@raincoaster: Exactly right. If she flips out on the set, behaves badly and stinks in the role, she gets all the coverage. If she behaves perfectly and does a good job with the character, she gets all the coverage. She would be the focus of the entire production.

and it's a rather sad day when an alcholic, coke-snorting, klepto with (sometimes) bad extensions can't keep a role as a manson-follower. you need standards for that (potential) swill??

I hope "starlet non grata" officially enters the lexicon.
And I think the most important lesson to learn in Hollywood is: be pleasant to work with. That will get you further than talent.
