Lindsay Lohan settles abduction case

Lindsay Lohan has settled a dispute with three men who claim they were abducted by her in 2007. The troubled actress was sued by the three men - who accused her of taking them on a wild car ride while on drugs through Santa Monica after a party in Malibu - but the lawsuit against her has now been resolved. According to TMZ.com, a dismissal notice will be filed in court soon, but the terms of the settlement have not been disclosed. The event led to Lindsay being arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) for the second time in 90 days and cocaine was also found at the scene. She served one day in jail after pleading guilty to being under the influence of cocaine and no contest to reckless driving. In recent months Lindsay- who is filming the role of the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor in TV movie 'Liz Dick' - has been trying to turn her life around following a string of legal problems, but was recently taken to hospital after a car crash in Los Angeles. She was later discharged w

Josh Brolin: 'Lindsay Lohan must like press invasion of her life'

Josh Brolin has expressed his belief that Lindsay Lohan encourages the intense media coverage of her life. The Men in Black 3 actor admitted in a recent interview that he couldn't cope with the press intrusion Lohan has faced in recent years. "I don't know how Lindsay Lohan does it. If anything, she has the gift of some massive denial system or a foundation that's just unbreakable because it's just constant," Brolin told BlackBook . He added: "Apparently [Lindsay] likes it. She keeps putting herself out there." Brolin went on to disclose that he came up with his own unique solution to keep the paparazzi from bothering him and wife Diane Lane. "When Diane and I got married, a publicist said, 'I think there should be security for you guys'," Brolin recalled. "My belief is that the more you use, the more you ask for an influx of unwanted people. So Diane and I were talking about it and I said, 'I really don't want to do

If Lindsay Lohan thinks flirting with suicide is fashionable, she's got another thing coming. The troubled starlet sparked an uproar earlier this week among anti-suicide and gun-control activists after she posed with a gun to her head, and in her mouth, for a provocative photo shoot. So will the controversy endanger Lindsay's vaunted comeback? The disturbing pics were snapped by Terry Richardson, the fashion photographer best known lately for that viral video of bikini-clad supermodel Kate Upton getting jiggly doing the Cat Daddy. He posted them to his Tumblr page, Terry's Diary, on Tuesday before abruptly yanking them. But the images were up long enough for advocacy groups to raise concerns over what kind of message it sends to emotionally vulnerable people. "When a celebrity uses suicide and specifically the means to do it as a joke, it is grossly irresponsible and is a disgrace," Hopeline, a national suicide hotline organization, said an exclusive statement to

Lindsay Lohan Rocks A Japanese Look

Lindsay Lohan has shared a picture via her Twitter, in which she's sporting a new Japan-inspired look. In a wig with a super-sharp fringe and a traditional gown, Lindsay pulls off the image pretty well: maybe she's auditioning for a remake of Memoirs of a Geisha . There's a few other things we've noticed about this picture: first of all, who's the chappy taking the snap? He looks a little like a shorter Robert Pattinson! We also have a feeling that that wig is actually meant to be a replica of the one Elizabeth Taylor wore in Cleopatra. Maybe we'll be visiting the set of Cleo in Liz and Dick , the Elizabeth Taylor film that Lindsay is currently filming? And finally: we see those bare legs Lindsay! It may be hot in Japan, but we're pretty sure you aren't supposed to go nude under those robes.. Lilo's been trying all sorts of looks lately!

Lindsay Lohan Puts Health Scare Behind Her To Pal Up With Porn Star

Image
Exciting times for Lindsay Lohan as she attempts to get her career back on track Although things haven't gone entirely to plan, with a car crash and health scare disrupting her filming of her new Elizabeth Taylor biopic, she seems to be getting on brilliantly with her new co-star James Deen. Deen is a porn star who's found an audience amongst women, and pictures show him using his charms to win over Ms Lohan as they shared a cigarette break outside a restaurant where they were dining with 'The Canyons' (their new movie) director Brett Easton Ellis. Lohan still had her Liz Taylor look on due to her current role, but it showed that there's the start of some chemistry between the pair despite their very different backgrounds. Could it be that the formerly innocent child star and porn pin-up start an unlikely romance? PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan goes hardcore in porn spoof... REVEALED: Kate Middleton's Scouse Brows Secret!

Lindsay Lohan not getting along with 'Liz & Dick' co-stars, footage 'just awful,' source says

Insiders say Lindsay Lohan is behaving like a diva on the set of "Liz & Dick" and not getting along with her co-star, Grant Bowler, The Daily reported Sunday. Beyond her well-documented rear-ending of a truck on the way to work on June 8 and needing paramedics last week because she fell unconscious, Lohan often shows up two hours late to work and "rarely knows her lines," one source said. "The crew is fed up with Lindsay because they have to spend so much time dealing with her diva antics and, in turn, trying to soothe Grant's battered ego," a source told Star magazine. Bowler was hired to portray Richard Burton at the eleventh hour, just before filming started this month, because Lohan was demanding that cable network Lifetime bring in a big-name leading man like Gerard Butler, Robert Downey Jr. or even Brad Pitt. "She was delusional," said one insider. "This is a made-for-TV movie. There's no budget for a big star." Lohan,

Woody Allen Thinks Lindsay Lohan Has Oscar Potential

Image
Lindsay Lohan may have been in the press recently for all the wrong reasons - again - but it seems as if Hollywood veteran, Woody Allen, is still a huge fan of the actress... The legendary director was spotted wining and dining the 'Mean Girls' star in New York last month and, after tongues were set to wagging with rumours of a movie collaboration, Woody Allen has since explained that his reasons for meeting with LiLo were purely social. During the premiere of his new film, 'To Rome With Love', Woody Allen told Access Hollywood that, while he currently isn't considering Lindsay for a movie role, he considers her a VERY talented actress: "I wouldn't hesitate to use her in a movie because she's a very talented girl." He's OBVIOUSLY seen her amazing portrayal of Cady Harris in hit flick 'Mean Girls', hasn't he? The director went on to say that, despite all of Lohan's baggage (i.e. her stints in prison and rehab), he wouldn't h
