Lindsay Lohan Biopic in the Works

By Moviefone Editors Posted Dec 28th 2010 12:30AM

An upcoming Hollywood satire from screenwriter Charles Casillo is based on the life of Lindsay Lohan, particularly the parts involving drugs and rehab.

Titled 'Dogs in Pocketbooks,' the film has just cast its lead, according to the New York Post. Model and publishing heiress (and, sorry gents, girlfriend of Jeff Goldblum) Lydia Hearst will play the part of "a bratty movie goddess in and out of rehab, in trouble with the law, and hounded by greedy agents, predatory paparazzi, off-the-wall stalkers and crazed media."

This will be the first major role for the 26-year-old daughter of Patricia Hearst and Bernard Shaw (and great-granddaughter of William Randolph Hearst). She's appeared on the TV show 'Gossip Girl' and in a few movies, but nothing this significant. Joining Hearst onscreen, Joan Collins has also been cast as a big time agent.

As for the content of 'Dogs in Pocketbooks,' it pokes a lot of fun at Lohan, but the satire is apparently directed more at the people around her, as well as the general obsession with celebrity.

Lohan has recently been in the news for allegedly assaulting Dawn Holland, a Betty Ford Center staffer. Holland told TMZ, "Lindsay and two other patients had snuck out, went drinking and tried to sneak back in and they got caught. We were told by our administration on-call to do a breathalyzer test, which she refused to do. She was angry and out of control."

Holland has since been fired from the treatment center. RadarOnline reports: "Betty Ford Center terminated me, and I'm now going full force," Holland said. "[It was] due to breach of patient confidentiality because I did an interview with TMZ."

WTF! I'm so glad Jeff is seeing someone, NOT!! The guy is really weird so I guess ths girl is?

By Joyce

How OLD is Jeff?
He has to be old enough to be her GRANDFATHER!!!!!

By jamdam

That was my first thought exactly, reading this article.

By Snot bunny

He's so old that he must be shooting loads of cottage cheese.

By DoUCare

Jeff was born in 1952. So he is old enough to be her father anyway. Maybe still a little young to be her grandfather.

Anyway, Heff is marrying someone 60 years younger....

What is the color of the sky in your universe?

What a stooooopid young girl...not woman who is outta control, sexually and will end up with another child no MTV to support her dumb azz and more kids. IMO I do not think time in jail is going to teach her a lesson as she doesn't seem to lean lessons easily...like risking another pregnancy and STD's Geeeeez you just can't fix stooopid

By really

cant they even wait for her to OD..I am sure it's not far off.. sad but true.. :(

As if we all dont already know the entire story.
The only interesting thing about this movie, would be to see Lydia hearst,, for me, it would be the first time to see her.
Not enough reason, to go see any movie though.

By Hmmm

Lindsay would have failed the breathalizer test. Betty Ford cannot afford that kind of repercussion. So now they're Lindsays partner in crime just as is the L.A. Judicial System. They're the ones who are obsessed and CRAZY AS BATSH*T.

Sounds like a straight to video to me. Why do people keep trying to make this addict into some kind of a victim. She is a BURNOUT!

By Jim

I guess the plot is: (1) gets drunk and throws up; (2) gets stoned and gets arrested; (3) checks into rehab; (4) checks out of rehab. Then, in the second scene: (1) gets drunk and throws up; (2) . . .

Wonder who is buying off Betty Ford Clinic, the aide worker that was fired, and also Lohan's attorney, who is clearly covering for Lindsay, lying for her, and will eventually be held responsible in some way for Lohan's death.
