Blacklisted by the movie industry, round-trip between rehab-court-home... Lindsey struggles to find work after all the troubles she's been through. But is she that desperate?

Reports say that the 24-year-old actress would have signed a $3.3 million deal to front an explicit photographic - sex - book which will contain full-frontal nudity and graphic shots. The provocative American photographer Terry Richardson convinced the Mean Girl to pose for him alongside her former love interest James Franco.

"Terry Richardson has persuaded Lindsay and James to get involved. He has assured them it will be provocative but tasteful. There will be a lot of nakedness -- some of it graphic and suggestive -- but it will be a real statement book. Obviously there will be comparisons to Madonna's 1992 'Sex' book. But James and Lindsay believe theirs will be classier." said a source.
