LINDSAY LOHAN

FREQUENCY Lindsay Lohan being directed by James Franco in Blue by REM
R.E.M's New Star Power filled Video














R.E.M.'s latest and final much anticipated album, Collapse into Now, features a new song called "Blue." The song's video features Lindsay Lohan, as a Hollywood washed up actress frolicking and posing for fashion photographer Terry Richardson, directed by none other than Jack of all trades, James Franco.

The five minute-video displays shaky and out of focus Hollywood iconic hot spots like the Chateau Marmont and Roosevelt Hotel, where Lohan is being photographed after a typical night out on the town.

Franco also makes appearances in the video dressed in drag, cheekishly posing for the cameran donned in a blonde wig and red lipstick.

R.E.M. announced last year that after 31 years together, they're soon calling it quits.

Cruella DeDriver: Lindsay Lohan Clearly Crashes Cars for Publicity

With this week's endless array of whirlwind scandals from Kristen Stewart's affair to the Jackson family squabbles and sex tapes/nude photos of B-listers, LiLo was feeling ignored. And what does LiLo do when she's ignored? She crashes her car, of course. Yep, the Liz and Dick actress has gotten into another fender bender. In another rented Porsche. This time after shopping at Chanel in Beverly Hills, according to TMZ.

Yawn.

There's no way anyone is that bad at driving. The woman wants attention, it's obvious. Now, if she goes off a cliff or something, then we'll be convinced she's just truly a terrible driver.

In the meantime, we're on to you Lindsay!

Rosie O'Donnell Takes Jabs at Lindsay Lohan

Liz Taylor fans all over the world are upset by LiLo being cast as the star of Lifetime's Liz and Dick. In fact, the only people who seem happy with the decision are Lindsay and the movie's producers.

Amongst these unhappy people is former talk show host Rosie O’Donnell. To Lindsay's surprise Rosie spoke out yesterday on The Today Show claiming to be disturbed at the idea of Lindsay playing the role of film icon, Liz Taylor. She also thinks the star needs to spend time putting her life back together before worrying about her career.

Celeb Plastic Surgery: Nipped, Tucked & Out of Control

A 100% natural body or face is extremely rare on the red carpet these days. It’s understandable that with the unrealistic expectations of Hollywood, insecurities may tend to run wild and make celebrities do crazy things. No one ever said a little nip and tuck was a bad thing, but when you’re unrecognizable or start to look inhuman… it may be time for an intervention.

So what happens when plastic surgery goes terribly wrong? You end up looking like one of these poor souls. Let them be a cautionary tale that less really is more.

Lindsay Lohan Dines but Doesn't Wine at Kibo

Well this seems newsworthy:

According to Page Six, Lindsay Lohan rolled into a late-night dinner this past Saturday at Kibo Japanese Grill. The paper reports that Lohan came to celebrate after her Saturday Night Live hosting gig and was joined by Paul Rudd, Jimmy Fallon, Jack White, Jason Sudekis, Jon Hamm and Lorne Michaels. Not to be outshined by the boys, Lohan's mother, Dina, arrived at the event with "Real Housewives of New York" castmate, Jill Zarin, in tow.

Lindsay's Comeback Fail

Preliminary stats say, Lindsay Lohan appears to have secured Saturday Night Live’s second biggest audience this season, behind Charles Barkley. Therefore, kicking off her showbiz come back must have been a success right?

Wrong.

SNL fans seem disappointed in her performance. Considering she hasn’t been an "actress" in a while, it’s understandable that she may be a little rusty. But, even Lohan apologists are saying that she may be the worst ‘SNL’ host of the season! Maybe it was due to the short notice invitation to the show, maybe it was because Lohan herself was mostly pushed to the background for the show, usually appearing in less challenging supporting roles in sketches. Or maybe it was because of her totally obvious dependency on the cue cards during her sketches.
