Lindsay Lohan Will Play 'Deep Throat' Porn Star

By Zach Dionne Posted May 3rd 2010 05:30PM

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.

WELL IT ISN'T LIKE SHE NEEDS ANY SCRIPTS FOR THE MOVIE. SHE IS A NATURAL SHE HAS HAD LOTS OF PRACTICE.

By msgraftongirl

I wonder if she'll even show up for the job. She seems to be fired from everything she's been doing lately.

No, she is just auditioning like crazy, but they will eventually give the role to Pam Anderson claiming budget constraints.

By claude

She playing the deep throat role in real life so that's easy money

By Martin

Well I suppose Lohan has the experience to play DEEPTHROAT! Can one say Casting Couch! lol.... Wonder if she got the part because of her gag reflex? Way to go Lindsay. You got that dream role! YUCK!

By vttroller

She can practice on me! No charge for counseling and performance enhancement.

By Snacks

Sounds like she found a way to snack during the filming of the movie!Under the new rules the guy has to wear a nutrition label tacked onto his pants.

I think the movie might be getting missinterpreted. I don't think it's a pornographic movie, just a movie about a porn star. It'll probably focus on how she (Lovelace) was forced into the industry and later broke out and became an activist against it....I mean, I don't know, but if it was real pornography the media would be killing it by now!

By Garry

I don't know, it might not be 100% porn, but I think they probably won't bother to simulate the sex.

By jsdeese

I think I'd kinda like seeing a monster schlong crammed down her throat until she chokes to near death. She's a waste of oxygen and space. I'd like to say a lot more, but I'm sure it wouldn't make it to post so I won't bother.

By tseve141

will LL teach her how to really do it all the way. but i doubt she needs help.

By Judy

Perfect role for her. She's a pig.

What a natural progression for Lindsay Lohan. You could tell it would only be a matter of time before we see her perform actual sex acts on camera. And soon we will.

By wheh

thank you god!!!

By bob

This actually sounds promising.

By erin

thats probably the only role she could get after being kicked off the other movie
