Lindsay Lohan Will Play 'Deep Throat' Porn Star

Lindsay Lohan is set to play Linda Lovelace, the porn star featured in 1972's infamous 'Deep Throat.' Although the news feels like just another talking point tossed on the gossip pile, LiLo's chum/photographer Tyler Shields is presenting the casting news as hard fact -- no matter how snugly it seems to fit into the
never-
ending LiLo
narrative.
"Shields confirmed to us this weekend that the actress has indeed landed the gig,"
E! Online reports.
The film is an independent venture titled 'Inferno,'
rumored (again, those dang rumors...) to be officially announced at Cannes Film Festival later this month.
Our gut reaction to the role -- particularly after LiLo's
gun-in-mouth, blood-splattered photo shoot with Shields just last week -- is that it has a certain scent of shock value. But in a recent (and oh-so-perfectly-timed)
Pop-ed, one of our suggestions for Lohan to regain her
career mojo was this: Shrug your shoulders and say, "Whaddya gonna do?" And isn't that exactly what this role does for LiLo? She's doing precisely what the tabloids
expect her to do, and in the process, getting back on the silver screen and possibly flipping the gossipmongers on their heads.
Consider: Linda Lovelace "later denounced her pornography career, claimed that she had been forced into it by her sadistic first husband, and for a while became a spokeswoman for the anti-pornography movement" (thanks,
Wiki). Sounds like this seemingly unsurprising role could wind up being something resonant and poignant for Lohan -- a metaphor in art a la Mickey Rourke's hard times and comeback being mirrored in 'The Wrestler.'
Or maybe it's just Lindsay Lohan playing a porn star.

She's a self declared Lesbian, the Title Should then be Changed to Deep Carpet Munchkin.

This is sad, but not surprising. She is not marketable any longer and roles like this is what she is going to continue to get unless she cleans up her act.

wow what a stretch for her !!!!!!!!!

Oh she's just trying to get a head, but I'm sure she'll blow this job too. Besides they can share monogrammed panties

lindsey is really grasping at straws for any type of acting job. either she doesn't care or really thinks it would be a smart move doing that type of acting job. she must be having a break down--she looks like hell. what ever happened to the nice looking girls she was? she hit bottom and probably won't get back up.

Lohan schmohan. The subject I'm interested in is when will the Duggars finally consider anal?

Finally the perfect role for her. She is trashy and there is no better role for her to portray than Lovelace. I think her acting skills are poor anyway.
Reply
Hell yeah Lindsay Lohan! Finally she will have a real career, no more Herby Love bug crap!

I watched the original when it first came out but I would not even consider to watch a Lindsay Lohan movie for any reason I can think of. Spoiled Little girl who doesn't want to grow up.

you know, all the jokes and cracks about her are ridiculous. i do not think that she is a great actress, but she deserves better than this. other actors have done porn "biopics" and nobody talked badly about them. (val kilmer as john holmes in wonderland) leave this girl alone and see the movie before you judge.

she a hoe anyway, soooooooooooooooooooo........................
