Lindsay Lohan may play Elizabeth Taylor in TV film

In Oh-Hell-Naw news: Lindsay Lohan is reportedly in talks to portray late screen great-AIDS activist Elizabeth Taylor in a film for Lifetime, reports Deadline.

If cast, the starlet, who is lately better known for court appearances than movie roles, would appear as the Oscar-winner in Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story, an original Lifetime film that will document Taylor's legendary romance with Richard Burton. The Lifetime film is, apparently, not based on the book Furious Love, based on love letters between the two actors and which was optioned as theatrical film by Paramount Pictures as a possible directing vehicle for Martin Scorsese.

Lohan, who frequently pays tribute to another screen beauty, Marilyn Monroe, with photo shoots, was photographed for Interview magazine in 2006 to resemble Taylor.

Deadline states that Lohan has often been compared to Taylor, adding that a 2004 article in Slate magazine lists the similarities: “Both had domineering stage mothers, little semblance of a real childhood, fame from a young age, substance abuse issues, public emotional outpourings, and copious amounts of tabloid drama. The key difference, though, is that Elizabeth Taylor had a true record of achievement before she became the most notorious movie star in America.”

By the time Taylor was Lohan's age (25), she'd appeared in numerous films that have since become classics, including A Place in the Sun, Giant, and Raintree County, for which she received her first Academy Award nomination as best actress.

--> What an outrage! First Ann Curry desecrated Elizabeth's jewels, now Lindsay Lohan will desecrate her image. World, I quit you.

--> Michael K's poignant point of view:

This mess, which doesn't make sense, would make sense if LiLo was going to play Last Days Liz or Currently In The Grave Liz, but she's in talks to play a young Elizabeth Taylor.

This is ILLEGAL! Liz had a voice like a sweet piece of velvet and HoHan has a voice like a sweet piece of velvet after it got ran over by a semi-truck, used as toilet paper by a homeless junkie and chewed up by a crackhouse rat.
La Liz herself said it best:

Regarding the Barry Manilow concert in Coral Gables

[ Editor's note ] Three monumental things have happened to me at the BankUnited Center. In 2004, my high school held its graduation ceremony there. In 2008, I heard presidential nominee Barack Obama speak about the future. And this past Saturday night, I saw the incomparable Barry Manilow perform in concert. To say that Barry remains every bit the superstar I was hoping for is putting it mildly. At 67 years young, he brought all the magic, the smiles, and the bandstand boogie he's famous for and then some. Funny, talented and charmingly self-deprecating, Barry Manilow remains without equal. Admittedly, the night started off rather poorly. Barry’s opening act was a man named Gerry McCambridge who has allegedly been wowing audiences at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas since 2005. As the creative force and inspiration behind the TV show The Mentalist , McCambridge's schtick is to do clever things with numbers. Honestly, I've never thought that doing anything with numbers w...

The 10 richest US presidents

In honor of today being President's Day, this interesting and timely news item: After months of speculation, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney recently confirmed that he is worth roughly $200 million -- give or take a million or more. In addition to being worth more than 99.9 percent of Americans, if elected president, Romney would also be wealthier than any president except one. While the other Republican candidates are also millionaires, their wealth does not come close to that of Romney’s. Still, judging from the net worth of all presidential nominees, politicians need to be wealthy to run for high office. The others made their money more directly from their politics before becoming a presidential candidate. Libertarian candidate Ron Paul, worth between $2.5 and $5 million, has published a number of best-selling books over the past few years, each of which explores his political ideology. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich became a consultant and political analyst after he ...
