Lindsay Lohan close to landing post-rehab gigProving that she means business, Lindsay Lohan has already lined up her first post-rehab acting gig. Radar Online reports that she's expected to star in the upcoming drama "Escaping the Game." "It's about celebs who become very famous and can't take it," producer Nathan Folks tells Radar of the project, in which stars fake their deaths and begin life anew on a remote island. According to Folks, Lohan will play an investigator who looks into their disappearances.
"10 Things I Hate About You" actor Chris Zylka, who most recently starred in the indie film "Kaboom" and will appear in the upcoming "The Amazing Spider-Man," is in discussions to co-star with Lohan, and the two met up for a concert on Saturday. "Went to see my friend Ferras perform and was talking to a future costar," Lohan tweeted February 20. Folks is confident that Lohan, who has been accused of stealing a necklace, will avoid going to jail in the coming weeks, and he plans to get her insured for his $30 million project by having someone keep an eye on her around the clock. "She's doing great," he tells Radar, "and we're going to prove to the world that she's back."

@justine bieber @d, I HAVE A FIGHT NOT WITH FLESH AND BLOOD , BUT WITH THE WICKED ONE OF
DARKNESS...THEY USE PEOPLE LIKE YOU TO SPEAK FOR THEM...
WHEN YOU TELL THE TRUTH-EXPECT A ATTACK FROM THE DEMONS WHO USE PEOPLE.
FACT: " THE WISDOM FROM GOD IS FIRST OF ALL "CHASTE". @ JUSTIN WHAT YOU SAID
IS EARTHY, ANIMAL, DEMONIC AND YOUR LIFE IS FULL OF CONTENIOUSNESS AND DISORDER
AND EVERY VILE THING. THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS ITS SEEDS SOWN UNDER
PEACEFUL CONDITIONS. @D-BIBLE THUMPER- YOU TRY TO MAKE GOD WORDS INVALID
GOD IS MORE POWERFUL.
Hey SKY. I have ADHD. Which stands for "anal daily hard dick". I am gonna teach you a lesson. Come meet my friend Ben...Ben Dover. We iz gonna get crazy and do some butt slammin'. Time for me to give u a ride on my disco stick. That will be hot! We iz gonna get crazy! Booze it up!!!!!
Hey D. You iz poppin off a bit too much. Time for the Biebster to ram you in the poop shoot. You iz gonna be my love slave, you little pillow biter. Time to learn that Bieber is da man! That will be hot....going for your hershey highway! See ya.
Its the caps vs the non-caps battle. A bunch of clowns! All that matters is the Biebster. The rest of this crap is a joke. You need to bow down to yours truly. I am HOT! Come on and s*ck my disco stick!!
And with a weekend class, you can learn how to type. And I believe 'ADHD card' was a figure of speech...and you're right, we all know when we talk to a mature adult...I have yet to.
FACT: A MATURE ADULT KNOWS WHEN THEY ARE DEALING WITH ANOTHER MATURE ADULT.
ITS AS SIMPLE AS A MATURE ADULT AND A CHILD....BY THE WAY THEY TALK, THE WAY THEY
ACT AND MOST OF ALL THEY WAY THEY MAKE DECISION.
@katers – ADHD IS NOT A CARD...ITS REAL. IT IS SOMETHING YOU LIVE WITH EVERYDAY
BUT WITH PROFESSIONAL HELP YOU CAN LEARN TO CONTROL YOUR ACTIONS.
EARLY CARE AT A EARLY AGE HELPS TO TEACH ONES WITH ADHD HOW TO PREVENT
RISKS OF MAKING WRONG DECISION. THERE ARE SOME ADULTS WHO HAVE ADHD
AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT....
AND YES WE DO HAVE MILLIONS OF YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE MAKING MATURE
DECISION WITH THEIR LIVES.....THIS I FIND IS ENCOURAGING.
If its a good movie it wont do well by taking on lohan did anyone tell this producer nathan folks that people are not entertain by crackaddicts. She a risk even if the movie sucks why dont they give the part to someone sober and not with legal problem. STUPID
I have never seen this girl act. I am totally serious when I ask–can she act?
SKY: Don't pull the ADHD card. It won't wash. EVERYONE ELSE has to own up to their own actions. ALWAYS. These idiots should be no different.
Maurice, I could not have said it better. I agree completely The world is in chaos and all that matters to people is BS that really don't matter.
FACT: THERE ARE MILLIONS OF YOUNG ADULTS WHO ARE MAKING GOOD DECISIONS IN THEIR LIFE.
MANY YOUNG STARS HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ADHD, THIS MEANS SOME OF THEM ARE 4 OR 5
YEARS BEHIND IN MATURITY. I BELIEVE LINDSEY AND PARIS H. ARE IN THIS GROUP.
PEOPLE WITH ADHD CAN LEARN HOW TO MAKE DECISION THAT WILL NOT HARM THEM.
BEFORE A MATURE ADULT MAKES A DECISION, THEY SEE THEMSELVE IN THE WHOLE
PICTURE, THEY LEARN TO REWORK THE DECISION IN THEIR MIND CLEARLY. THEY SEE THE
RISK FOR GOOD AND THE RISK THAT COULD DAMAGE THEM AND OTHER ...
speak up
/just a little
*sigh* here we go again..and I thought you were gone for good bible thumper with a broken Caps Lock button...
Simple no talent white trash, born and breed.
You meant to say simpleton. Otherwise, right on point.
Is there so big a vacuum in the pool of available actresses that LiLo is still marketable? When I read what the show is about I thought she might be a good fit for it, but she's not even playing one of the missing stars. Surely there must be dozens of aspiring and available actresses that aren't complete f-ups like LiLo.
I wanna hook up with Lilo and rock her world. We iz gonna storm the hollywood scene and be makin' out in public and gettin' crazy. We wanna pump out some babies. Lil' Biebsters iz gonna be running round this earth soon. I am gonna ram her poop shoot and travel the hershey highway all night long! -bieber
So when get you get into womenz. Poor first choice.
Sorry... she likes girls.
It worked for Robert Downey Jr. !
She'll be a scene stealer
Let's get Lilo in Penthouse!
Yea, we could put the staple through her mouth.
Well I sure hope she gets better while doing this film. I concur with most that no one deserves that many chances but if she gets another one then she must be blessed. I'll see the movie just to see how she did, hopefully well. You see a society & measure their worth by observing how they treat the weak & helpless.
Toot Toot
She is probably hoping that this gig will keep her from being put in prison. She should have thought about all of that before she "Borrowed" that necklace. This girl just doesn't get it. Sooner or later she is going to have to do some serious time in either prison or in a grave.
I think she's going to be a hot commodity, and will garner a large audience, sorta the John Daly of hollywood.
Good for you Lindsey, proove all the haters wrong. I mean if Snookie can make money, who CANT.
Apparently trashy and lacking in talent means newsworthy these days. I do have to agree she is better than Snookie
That is awesome that a dude from a Federal prison was able to post on this site. I love CNN blogs! Skip this Lyndsey crap. All that matters is that I am the hip new kid on the block. Did u see me at the NBA all-star game? I was kickin' it with the hottest A-list celebs. I am a little fruit and would like to hook up with some hot dudes. I really want to ride some dude's disco stick. C'mon. Let's do some poop shoot slammin!! -bieber
I wouldn't go near ANYTHING – product, movie, etc. that has her name attached to it WITH A 40 FOOT POLE. This little idiot has no shame, no conscience, and does not possess any of the decent qualities of a normal human being. She's a JOKE in Hollywood, and basically a JOKE to the rest of us hard-working people. Good luck in Prison, Blohan.
i'll miss u linds. don't forget to write me. xoxo
Can't wait to watch the movie! Go Lindsay!
as a former judge i can tell u that she is going to get three years in prison. probably the best place for her. no more acting jobs and no more discretionary income.....but it's for the best
You're not a judge...commenting on a blog like you're a 15 year old texting probably gave it away...
She is a scank, looks old. Must be the 2 packs of cigs a day. It is too soon to work for her. Should focus on recovery only for minimum of a year. She will crash and burn, her mom is so so sick and ignorant too. There is no way she is ready to work, no way.
Too bad for that "no publicity is bad publicity" policy, I don't feel that she deserves a come back, but she'll get one. It'll take some very good acting to earn any respect from me though – have yet to see that from her.
Where can I apply for the job? I have raised 5 kids and lindsay would be nothing compaired to what I have been through.... pretty sad she needs a babysitter at her age.
^^^^smell it
Is it too soon to throw out two little words? ...
Oscar Buzz!
too bad it won't last when she goes to jail for Grand Theft for her 'borrowing' that necklace....just face it Lindsey, you're washed up and pathetic.....get used to getting miniscule jobs that won't pay enough to keep ur fancy life
This ought to be funny.
I wanna get hammered drunk with this chick and penetrate her a hole with my tongue
....and then your next stop should be the STD clinic.
Yall got it backwards. Those aint actors,their rejects from fear factor! Lol
I wish nothing but the best for her. She keeps messing up, but she's a person – very young, and needs support and kindness to get through her problems. Being hateful and judgemental only makes it harder for addicts to recover. Quit being so hateful people. I'm sure none of you are perfect. I sincerely hope that if any of you make bad decisions or have overwhelming problems, you will make it through with flying colors too. Let's all lift each other up. Makes us better people.
The truth is known. People like Charile Sheen and Lindsey Lohan NEVER change. They have partied too much already and with the wrong medications and drugs. They have re-wired their pleasure receiptors in their brain cells and cannot find any joy in anything they do unless they are high, drunk, or both. They are gonners, for life. They will die in a gutter if poor, or in a nice hotel room with plenty of their drug/alcohol of choice by their side if still wealthy. That's how it is, 2011 and counting...
The only post rehab gig I wish to see her do is more time in jail.
@ Brt well put sir... well put...
lindsay lohan playing a detective in a movie? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
People take themselves too seriously on here. Save the drugstore psychology...
Lies. Aint nobody going to hire this turd. She couldn't even get insured. Lohan publicity stunt and nothing more.
Hey you all. Yeah, you people with your own names, and lives, and families. Did you know you are only getting older as the days go by, and the clocks keeps ticking – tick – tick – tick – down to what? Who knows, to infinity, maybe to Armageddon. Opportunity comes and goes, yep, right now as you are reading these very words. How are things in your life? Are your kids doing well in school? Maybe you want to go back to school and get a degree, maybe try out something new? Do you even know? Have you even ever thought about it? Of course not. Why? Because Lindsay Lohan just took a dump, and that is all that matters. PATHETIC LOSERS!!!
Who are you talking to? Talking to yourself usually means that you are nuts... or well on the way there. This is all closely linked to 'disaster capitalism'. It's called 'disaster journalism'. It's entertaining watching someone who doesn't deserve success being handed success on a silver platter... only to barf on the platter or try to steal it. And then there's you. A full morning of entertainment. Tick, tick, tick. My question is... if your life is so full and rewarding.... why are you spending time here at all? It's a good question! Come on now.... a member of MENSA in the hospital while a broken bone heals... thought that you would dispense with some helpful information? You are a real Mother Theresa. Who they think was a man.
Maurice, all you can worry about right now is blogging on an entertainment story about L.L. You're just as pathetic as some of the other people here. Shut UP.
How many chances will this criminal get? Also just because her name is plastered all over the news does not mean your lame show idea is going to fly.
Ahhh, success in America. Become a lying, stealing, drug addicted kleptomaniac with a penchant for drug fueled vehicular assault and you go right up the ladder. Maybe she and Charlie Sheen should be in a movie. Call it 'Two and a Half Idiots'. I can't wait.
Can i party on this island?
legalize retro-active abortion
Is the gig about working in a jewelry store?
That sucks, how could anyone even think the public wants to see this retard in a film anymore!!! She sucks! Spoiled loser.
I don't care HOW crazy she is, she's still HOT.
"... by having someone keep an eye on her around the clock."
I'll do it!
Michael Jackson was a Honkee!
That movie sounds absolutely awful, just like Lohan, lol.
I had a nose cut, lips cut, forehead raised, body bleached and dehaired, spent millions of dollars and still never could come close to looking as good as Ms Lohan and now Im dead.
It would be a total waste of money for anyone to cast (and/or insure) her performance in ANYTHING. The public never had any great love for her, as an actress or otherwise. At this point, NOBODY WANTS TO SEE HER FACE. Perhaps, it's time for her to get a real job.
@ Mrs M.
HEY FATTY...SHUT IT!
Yep and all you ugly fat women cant stand it. TOO BAD!
Who cares about Raven Symone and her overeating problem.
Who cares about Beyonce and her oversized rump and thighs.
Who cares about Kim and her Islamb religion or her Tooties.
Well all those you cited are laughing there way to the bank and have people and agents lining up to book them.
LL can only dream of their success. She's done and makes her money selling access to paparazzi and her parents by selling stories to tabloids, pathetic.
LiLo Rocks
Her problems have nothing to do with her being a child star too early, it's all about how she was raised. Here are some positive examples: Raven Symone, started at the age of three, never seen her in the tabloids, why, her PARENTS kept her in check, Boww Boww, Beyonce started at a young age, Kim Fields, and that's just a few. Their parents weren't letting them hang out in the club at the age of 13 like Lindsey. Her mother is to blame for a lot of her troubles.
For all those chicks hating on lindsey I'll bet ANYTHING that she's better looking then all you guys lol
I bet she is because clearly, all that matters is looks -right?
I have her booked in my dead pool to 2015...
Who cares abt these sociopath. Why nt focus n the uneployment issues and people who r losing there houses n cannot afford to pay there rent.
You selected 'entertainment' then selected the story, then decide to write about it, so you care it about it enough to comment.
Who cares.
How about a four way biscuit bump with Paris, Britany, and Bristol Palin ( aka the dancing porker ) ?
Why is this news...kind of tired of hearing about her and all the publicity stunts she pulls to keep her name in the headlines...I am glad that there are at least 10 other more talented actresses her age that are getting all the work with none of the drama.
Just another example of our sick American culture. This country is on a down hill slide that can't be turned around.
Toss GoldieLocks in here with my BlackAzz!! We b eatin each ova P*SSY all nights then take a doo doo on da floe.
I wonder if she'll meet Jim Morrison (a.k.a. the Lizard King) on this remote island.
Most of the ill-wishers here are the typical United States dysfunctional, obese, cheese-puff pixie doodle eating Fat SOB women. Yep, they are just jealous because they are fat, ugly and know their husband messes around on them but they can do nothing about it...AH HAHAHAAA!!! FATTY!
and you're gay and just wish you had a box like her
Whatta a friggin mess.....throw her in jail already. Friggin idiot.
I hope Lindsey will be able to buy her way out of this mess. She is just to gorgeous to be held behind bars. She is a true Hollywood Icon and we here in the USA are lucky to have her. Some people, like Lindsey, are above the law and should be treated as such.
Give them hell Lindsey, they are just jealous, it's Hollywood............ no one does time. If you thing life in this country is fair get your head at of the sand
Man, that rockin body of hers is a great advertisement for rehab. She's smoking.
No she's not.
She looks like a mannequin in that photo...
I'd still hit that.
Shut your phucking mouths everyone of you. You all are just jealous over Lindseys beauty, money, success, lifestyle, riches, fame, hotness factor etc. All a bunch of jealous prudes you are. SHUT UP YOUR PHUCKING MOUTHS!!
wait, she has what now?
You need a better role model if you envy her pathetic life. You may want to be like her, but don't lump me in with your foolish envy. I'll keep my life just as it is, and be thankful for it. One day, you may just get your wish to be a rich but pathetically self destructive loser too! There's always hope.
What a great parody of an idiot who can't even spell the name of the person they're trying to defend.
WHO THE F#$K CARES!!!!
Oh hell, I don't know; there are all these 'starlets' with 'talent' that 'screw up a little' and 'it's not their fault'. I think of all the pro athletes who get a shot at the Game and screw it up with drugs or violence, and think of the thousands of people who work so hard and never get that one lucky break and I think: "You ass. You had a shot and you ruined it. Ass."
YOU SHUT UP YOUR PHUCKING MOUTH, BYTCH.
Good for her. Finally, a chance to prove herself. Hope she takes it.
She needs to do the full sentence in jail. if she isnt stopped she will od or worse. if you are really a fan who cares about her then you know these are cries for help. shes hardly a mentor until she cleans up for a year or two. sorry but getting out of rehab to become a cleptomaniac is hardly a step in the right direction!
The Middle East is on fire, which will definitely escalate, and have a big effect on our lives here, politically, economically, etc. Judges right here at home are getting kickbacks for needlessly incarcerating the FUTURE of America, something that has been going on a lot, but just recently brought to light – indeed an epidemic of greed. More parents are going crazy and killing their kids than ever before. Our education system is going down the crapper, and 1 out of every 200 babies is showing signs of autism – a very high percentage. America is facing some tough times, but none of this stuff really matters. What REALLY matters to the American people is Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber, and Lady Gaga, what they ate for breakfast, who they are dating, where they just took a dump, and how does it smell? THESE are the things that REALLY matter. Mushroom clouds could be rising over every major city, and people would be going crazy. Why? Because of nuclear war – ARMAGEDDON? No; because Lindsay Lohan farted in public.
Shut up.
i personally feel like lindsay could learn a lesson. hopefully in time she'll straighten her act up and fly right.
Lohan plays an investigator? Lol...she couldn't investigate a ham sandwich if her life depended on it. Also, the show's plot and premise sounds pretty stupid.
""She's doing great," he tells Radar, "and we're going to prove to the world that she's back.""
Hysterical. Radar wants this project to go so bad, he's talked himself into actually believing this nonsense.
Where is the eye-roll emoticon when you really need it? If past is prologue, the drama along the road to FAIL will be entertaining...
I guess that's all that's left for her. It's a shame to be 20 something and already doing stories about your life's failures and inadequacies.
When will she and hollywood get that NO ONE wants to see movies with this girl in it.
Will someone PLEASE put her in prison where she belongs! Anybody else would already be sentenced by now.
Big risk hiring her, IMO. Keeping her under guard 24/7 seems the only way to take the chance. But that guard needs to be studio hired, not one of her usual gang. I'm not saying she can't make a comeback, but with her history she's burned a lot of bridges. Not a lot of people are going to be willing to risk their project on her initially.
As an Attorney I can tell you that Lindsey is going to jail and most likely for the full time. She violated her probation. No court is going to release her. She has been given to many breaks and this will be her downfall.
I'm sorry but for once Lindsay Lohan needs to quit getting little slaps on the wrist & pay a severe consequence for her actions. She's been given several chances to keep her stay out of trouble & get herself together. Something she obviously doesn't take seriously. Yes she needs family support. Yes she needs help. But I say give her jail time. Do the crime, do the time. For once she needs a consequence her money, tears, attorney and batting her lashes can't get her out of. At least in jail she won't be found dead of an overdose. If this girl keeps heading down the distructive path she is the news we are going to be hearing about her is her dead body has been found from oding. She doesn't need to be another Shannon Hoon, River Phoenix or Heath Ledger case.
ten bucks says this goes straight to video.
Only after she does her time for the felony conviction.
Yay!! Lindsay's back! Quick, hide your expensive necklaces! Let me spell it all out for you. This isn't exactly Linsday's fault. Just wait, hear me out. This is the FAULT of her parents who pushed her career as a child star and then it just goes out of control. Check out ALL of the stories of troubled child actors or stars- Linsday Lohan, Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, Frankie Muniz, Gary Coleman, Miley Cyrus and the list goes on and on. I know someone who is fast on her to becoming a child star and her parents have already removed her from school to do auditions, the kid has NO social life, work work work....and she's under 12!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you think maybe when they hit 18 they realize that they never had a REAL childhood and they have NO social or coping skills, because everything they do is geared towards their career? This kid can't even hold a real conversation anymore as it all sounds scripted. No true emotion, because it's all been fake. Fame is a fickle mistress people. Save it for the adults. Let the kids BE KIDS!!!!! Bieber's next.
How is it kids like Ron Howard and Billy Mummy, and a lot of the kids from the original Musketeers, managed to not end up badly? A lot of the original Musketeers went on to normal lives, if you can find the ones that didn't continue in Hollywood. Supposedly Rance Howard (father of Ron and Clint) made it clear that his kids were not to be treated special. Personally, Lohan needs to do some jail time before she does OD or kill someone with her car.
You fools. The people who come on here and misspell their words and type grammatical errors are clearly doing it on purpose, just to get a rise out of you who never fail to point out the obvious.
Maybe it's just a cry for attention because their mommies and daddies didn't care if they got all F's in school?
Lindsay is a good actress and I would rather see her in another movie than in jail or dead somewhere because she couldn't get herself together. It's funny how easily we say we "hate" someone when we don't know them at all. I just hope she keeps her hands in her pockets on the set.
Love the sincerity of the post and the punch line!
I want her to straigten up too but I don't thinks she's even a fair actor. She hasn't done much of anything since she was a kid. Wasn't her last starring role in, "Herbie Rides Again"?
Best of luck to her. Years from now when she had won a few Oscars, this will all be forgotten.
You mean, "stealing" Oscars.
tom, is this some sort of nightmarish future world, like mad max, where they give oscars to the worst instead of the best?
I'm sick of you grammar/spelling Nazi types. Going to internet message boards to pick on people about their grammatical
Oh yes. We should all just turn the other way when these flunkies post. Heaven forbid they should use proper GRAMMAR! I think you're upset by it because yours is just as bad!
To think these flunky kids are our future. God, we're in trouble!
Stop being dumb.
She's doing great.. yeah with a 24/7 personal guard? That's not doing great that is just covering a liability. Give me a break.
Stop hatin on her, everybody had there days. Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, if you want to hate on someone Dnoki? Cnoki? Skiooie? Snooki? whatever that std carrying, she-thing name is
This piece of garbage should be in jail where she belongs.
Well said. Just a matter of time before she OD's or God forbid, kills someone with her car while drunk/high..
someone posted the script for steve carell's last episode on The Office:
http://craftservicesblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/script.html
Sounds right up her alley.
good for lindsey she really needs this and i am excited for her....she really has talent and needs to surround herself with peeps that truly care about her and will tellher no..........all you nay sayers lets focus ur attention on a real trash bag like paris hilton she toatally sucks and has NO talet unless u call adult enterainment talent..human mattress
What has she ever done that shows a hint of talent?
Who cares? Why is this even in the news is beyond me!
you clicked on it and read it. must not be completely unimportant to you.
There's an idiot in every crowd. Like the one who always questions "why is this news?". Every time.
you read it made a comment she's getting your attention
I believe marnie put it best...but don't feel to bad, there are other idiots just like you out there posting the same thing. moron.
Hey Jo spell her name Marni you need to drop the e someone may call you a moron
All you Lilo naysayers are just jealous of her.
LOL.... yeah we all aspire to be druggie alcoholics and lying thieves.
She's garbage. What part of her are the majority of people jealous of exactly?
jealous...... if what exactly?
Gag.
Yeah, wish I was that washed up and busted. sigh...
oh how I wish I could have a hole in me that nothing could fill because of my traumatic childhood which force me to find some way to make my body and mind completely numb to my pain from the past that haunts me every second of every day...that would be the life.
washed up and drug/alcohol addicted at 24... yeah, sign me up!
I h8 dat grl she totally ruined
Learn how to spell first and people may begin to take your comments seriously.
Step one would be to study for the GED.
tru dat, + her lips b puffd up
H8ers gna h8
Hey Folks ya fool, if you want to waste 30 mill on this no talent lush, send it to me I ll waste it for you and you can film me doing it for free!
She is a pretty girl but her acting is nothing amazing. This will only enable her to continue her bad habits. Whatever movies she comes out with, I will never watch. I would rather support actors who appreciate their jobs and fame that this spoiled little girl.
I wonder if she knows 90% of the population hates her. It doesn't help to have a picture of her smirking in court while teenagers caught with a joint go to prison for 6 months in most states.
Quit hiring this girl. There aren't many of us out here that would get this many chances.
Texting isn't cool all the time. Grammar isn't completely dead...
