Lindsay Lohan Bails On Woman of No Importance
Filed under: Drama, Celebrities and Controversy, Fandom, Newsstand
I don't think any jokes are necessary here -- Lindsay Lohan backing out of a film titled A Woman of No Importance is funny in and of itself. According to her rep via People, La Lohan has simply been taking on too many roles as of late and "doesn't want to just yes everyone and compromise herself anymore." In the pic, she would have starred alongside Annette Bening (who was supposed to co-star with Lohan in Freaky Friday until she dropped out) and Sean Bean.
Honestly, with all her medical problems, so-called addictions and tardiness issues, it's probably best that Lohan take a little bit of a break; not including A Woman of No Importance, the girl currently has three films (Speechless, The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, The Best Time of Our Lives) in pre-production, one filming (I Know Who Killed Me) and one (Georgia Rule) she will soon need to promote. Oh, and that's not counting her potential involvement in that apocalyptic horror flick, as well as a Steve Nicks project. Damn, no wonder she's a mess.
Right now, there's no word on a replacement for Lohan (might I suggest someone a little less controversial -- Dakota Fanning, perhaps?). A Woman of No Importance is based on the Oscar Wilde play, will be directed by Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy) and is due out sometime in 2008.

I think everyone needs to chill a little with the snide comments about Lindsay's rehab. I'm not a Lohan fan - haven't seen any of her films yet. But, come on - she's a human being; I think her situation needs to be handled more respectfully.
" 'She doesn't want to just yes everyone and compromise herself anymore," says her publicist, Leslie Sloane. "If anything has been learned, it's that what she needs comes first – and right now she needs focus.' "
How is that bad? It sounds sensible to me...I understand this may all be for show, I know we can't know what's really going on - but that's the point - we can't know that it may be sincere. Why can't we give her the benefit of the doubt, instead of jokes and insults that could harm a healing process? I've dealt with too many addicted people - younger than her even - who had serious issues and really needed help. And it is hard to admit you do need it.
If this all ends up being a huge publicity stunt, then insults will be more understandable. But until that's proven, I think it's irresponsible and bordering on cruel to ridicule her. I personally am hoping it's sincere and she'll come out of this stronger and healthier. I hate to see anyone fall victim to an addiction - celebrity or otherwise...

Lindsay is a good actress, but she really needs to get her "act" together. A lot of people don't want to work with Lindsay because of her poor work ethics.
