Lionsgate Hits $340 Million Credit Jackpot; We Help Them Spend It
3:00AM STV | We have all kinds of fun ideas for how Lionsgate can splurge with its new $340 million credit line, a kind of shocking development considering Wall Street’s recent exodus from the deadly film-financing racket. The budget-minded ‘Gate, having leapfrogged from one genre hit to another (accruing a $331 million cash war chest along the way, according to Variety) is evidently immune to the crunch, however, even nabbing a 2.25% interest rate we haven’t seen since our very first student loans.

Lindsay Lohan Understands Importance Of Traffic Signs A Few DUIs Too Late
4:53AM Molly Friedman | Is it possible that Lindsay Lohan has not only achieved sobriety but also a knack for irony to rival Jon Stewart? At a party celebrating her Paper Magazine cover yesterday (which features a sour-looking badass version of the Lindsay we once loved to hate), LiLo decided to show up wearing a “skirt” emblazoned with neon traffic signs (is it just us, or does that look less like a “skirt” and more like a tube top?). We hope that Eli Roth was in attendance at the party so he could exact revenge on the ageist nip-flasher by loudly muttering “too Spencer’s” as she strutted by. More »
The Newly Sober Lindsay Lohan Thinks Eli Roth Is ‘Too Old’ To Copulate With
6:54AM Mark Graham | Lindsay Lohan doesn’t have a rep for being the picky type when it comes to bumping uglies. Considering that her post-hab dating history includes flings with a snowboarder with debatable level of attractiveness and the perpetually frowny faced Sam Ronson, Lindsay has proven time and time again that it takes little more than the promise of a keybump or twelve to get inside her cokepants. Which is why we find ourselves cracking up at the way that leading Hollywood torture-pornographer Eli Roth’s recent run-in with La Lohan went down, an encounter he detailed on his MySpace: I was having drinks with a friend at the Beverly Hills Hotel the other night, and Lindsay Lohan walked by our booth with a girlfriend, checking us out. She then went out to the bathroom, turned around, came back and walked by us again, and mumbled to her friend “too old,” and kept walking. More »
The Man Who Beheaded Bijou Phillips
8:17AM Defamer Hollywood | It’s been a good run for Lionsgate marketing co-president and shock-artist-in-residence Tim Palen, whose groundbreaking work composing controversial Bijou-Phillips-beheading, Wienerdog-inverting (pictured), and director-dong-exposing imagery to promote the upcoming Hostel: Part II are getting exactly the kind of media attention the studio was surely hoping for, culminating in today’s LAT story about his campaigns. But what makes selling a horror flick with an image of a naked Phillips toting her head around like a Prada purse any different than what the much-maligned Captivity crew (coincidentally, a movie also distributed by Lionsgate! Funny how that worked out.) did with their billboard tutorials on how to kidnap, torture, and execute Elisha Cuthbert? Palen explains to the Times:: Palen defends his work in two ways: in terms of context and execution. The poster of a naked Phillips holding her severed head in her hands, he says, “is completely inappropriate to be on a billboard on the street or even in the lobby of our offices.” But he says it is suitable for theatres in foreign markets – where people are far less concerned about sexual images – and for hard-core horror fans. “It’s for the boys in the backpacks at these comic conventions, waiting in line for hours to get the posters signed,” says Palen.
