Uzzah: TrainingWheelsNeeded: After reading about "the Canyons" debacle, I think most are right, she'd never be able to handle the schedule of reality game show.

I read the NYT article fairly quickly, but I got the impression from it that LL is an extremely difficult person for a director to wrangle, but that when the cameras were rolling, she actually gave good performances:

But then a funny thing happened. Lohan dropped her robe. Schrader shouted action, and they filmed the scene in one 14-minute take. About halfway through, Lohan looked directly into the camera and flashed a dirty, demented smile at Schrader. He smiled back.

and

Miraculously, the cameras rolled, and all the tension, all the ego, all the incoherence exploded into the film's most riveting scene: Deen, cold and evil; Lohan, vulnerable and afraid.

And so the question is "are you willing to put up with the off-screen bullshiat in order to get something good on-screen?" The answer may be "no" for many directors, but it's likely to be "yes" for quite a few others.

yeah, the article did highlight her talent but it is interesting that her Lifetime movie performance was largely panned by critics. I don't know if she mailed it in or the production, writing etc was just plain bad but I think she's toast. Aside from her genuine talent, the article did also show she is quite delusional, and of course and sadly so, an addict.

If I am to believe the entertainment rags my wife keeps in the restroom, she is now mainly working as an escort. she should take this gig.

SirDigbyChickenCaesar: Diogenes: ongbok: If drunkenly grinding on your dance partner, then falling to the floor in a drunken heap only to get up and take a swing at the first person you see, before you are escorted out of a club to pass out in your car, were a dance style, she would be the hands down favorite to win the show.

You forgot crotch slips.

and soiling herself

and vomit, don't forget the vomit.

What is it with celebrities that they don't pay their taxes?
Seriously.

The thing is, even if she found some way of supporting herself, respectable or not so respectable, she spends so much money that nothing will ever pay her bills. She's just as nuts with money as she is with the rest of her life. So there's no way for her to dig herself out of all the holes she's made.

I'd imagine she's too busy with her that porn-that-isn't-really-porn indie film she's doing.

homelessdude: I'll give her one thing....she seems to keep going. A lesser drug addled drunk would have folded years ago. LL somehow manages to stay in the game.

Dude, I know she looks like hard-living 53 year old woman, still hanging on to life with her fingernails and an iron will. One look and you want to say to her, "Lindsay, it's amazing that a woman as old as you can keep putting it out there in front of the world every night. A lesser woman would have been beaten down long ago. But you have to realize that not everybody has Helen Mirren's genetics, and maybe you should have hung it up 20 years ago."

But the you realize she's only 26 years old.

At this rate, she'll belong to the exclusive club of "Jesus farking Christ how are they STILL ALIVE??!?!" of which belongs Keith Richards, Lemmy, Mark E. Smith, and Courtney Love.

I thought Courtney Love was a reanimated corpse.

They don't work for a salary so unlike folks who effectively cut a check every two weeks, they have to save something for when the quarterly/annual bill comes due. Also at least for film the lag between work and pay can be longer resulting in much more attention paid to deductions that could be taken/carried forward but not if the documentation isn't handled properly. The two combine to form large, surprising tax bills.

The worst thing small government types ever agreed to was withholding of taxes, followed closely by the EITC as it makes filing taxes a far more relatively positive experience for a wide swath of voters.

Even money sez by this time next year LiLo's next gig will either be here:

I didn't actually sit down and watch "Liz and Dick," but I've seen plenty of clips from it. Where was all her talent in that one? Her delivery was atrocious; she was simply repeating memorized lines, not acting. It was like watching a grade-school play.

Honestly, I'd be interested in watching "The Canyons," just to see what the NYT writer saw in her. But if I remember the article correctly, we're probably never going to see that movie.

She's basically an escort at this point. Foreign billionaires pay her to show up at parties.

I"m guessing that well will dry up once word gets around she doesn't do full service.

Pff. Women who will sleep with you for money are a dime a dozen if you have money. Being able to say that Lindsay Lohan showed up at your soiree, drank herself stupid, snorted coke off of a 12th-century vase, threw up on some famous person's dog, trashed the poolhouse bathroom, and finally passed out in a pile of her own shiat... well that's the kind of story you have to pay a little extra for.

I'd still give her an Alabama Hot Pocket, anytime.

Sin_City_Superhero: What? Is "Dignity" the name she gave to the vibrator she snorts coke off of?

No, that would be her buttplug.

Integrity ... always integrity.

And Pete Doherty. I've had him in my death pool for years yet he continues to disappoint.

Does anyone outside of Hollywood or Entertainment Weekly even give two shiats about this woman anymore? I seem to recall the last tv production she was in bombed hard.

Old enough to know better: Does anyone outside of Hollywood or Entertainment Weekly even give two shiats about this woman anymore? I seem to recall the last tv production she was in bombed hard.

TMZ cares. I'm sure Lohan stories probably pay for a significant portion of their bottom feeder staff.
