Lindsay Lohan Left Off 'Mean Girls' Game Cover

By PopEater Staff Posted Apr 12th 2010 09:53AM

We know two people who'll be added to the Burn Book this year: Mario and Luigi. Lindsay Lohan may have been the star of 'Mean Girls,' but she's curiously missing from the cover for the upcoming Nintendo DS game based on the hit 2004 film. In lieu of Lohan, the cover instead features Rachel McAdams, Lacey Chabert and Amanda Seyfried, who played the trio of super-popular girls known as "the plastics." The film follows the life of a new student named Cady Heron, played by Lohan.

According to a description of the game found on GameStop.com, 'Mean Girls' will "follow the misadventures of Cady from Jingle Bell Rock to the School Prom."

Developed by 505 Games, 'Mean Girls' will allow you to "go up against plastics, jocks, art freaks and math-letes, as you work to play the cliques against each other and become the high school prom queen!"

Has Lohan been filtered out because of her damaged image in real life? Do marketers view her as toxic?

In 2004, Lohan was a rising star in Hollywood, seen as one of her generation's most promising talents. But after several years of poor choices both career and personal, she is now known more for sometimes-bizarre headlines announcing trips to rehab or nightclubs or both. A frazzled-looking Lohan recently took a spill outside a nightclub and last week was spotted leaving a friend's house with a huge puff of white powder shooting from her shoes.

She has released only seven films to mass audiences since 'Mean Girls,' and nothing since the 2008 bomb 'Chapter 27,' which grossed a mere $56,215 according to Box Office Mojo.

Whether this move by 505 Games and Nintendo was intentional, it appears to be part of larger pattern regarding the removal of Lohan from 'Mean Girls' promotion altogether. Recent promos for 'Mean Girls' airing on television have put the focus on McAdams and her crew, leaving Lohan out of the commercials altogether.

Lohan was in two movies since Chapter 27. Georgia Rule, and I Know Who Killed Me. They were both bad, but she was in Bobby right before Chapter 27, and it was good. I think the author of this story should have maybe done a little research, huh?

Actually Bobby came out in 2006 and both Georgia Rule and I Know Who Killed Me came out in 2007. Chapter 27 came out in 2008. So the author of this article did do their research and you should do yours before you post something to discredit them.

Wonder when the " milkaholic" is going to get it?. In reality these dumb games just teach young people to single out those that do not " fit in" and promote the bullying and tormenting of others. Thanks to Hollywood for producing a generation of idiots to influence our young along with the pathetic failure of many with parenting skills.

Lindsay Lohan is beautiful actress but since she was in "Freaky Friday" all gone downhill from there. I Hope that someday she will get straight out and clean her acts up before it's too late. I don't like the movie "Mean Girls" and it's just speak itself for those girls who are like them in many high schools in America.

The only pictures they could find of Linzey were too gynecological to put on the cover of a family oriented game. She's a loser and who wants to play a game with a loser on the box?

By Jessica

Or maybe they could have used the full movie cover since that's where they got the pictures of the other girls from the movie.

The only kind of movie Lindsay Lohan has any chance of getting would be of the "adult" type. She does still have her looks, but, that will go fast the way she is burning the candle. On second thought, she probably can't get a porn movie, the adult film industry does have its' standards!!

She wasn't LEFT off the cover-She FELL off the cover!

Isn't there a more logical reason to leave the protagonist off the cover of a game? Maybe because you play as Cady and can change her appearance in the game?
