Youtube Celebrity Wins Role In Lindsay Lohan Movie
Filed under: Drama, Thrillers, Casting
She may have been known as LonelyGirl 15 (aka FraudGirl 19), but make-up artist-turned-actress Jessica Rose is far from lonely these days. That's because a little publicity stunt -- in which she posed as a small town 15-year-old who shared her life with the world via a webcam -- has transformed Rose into a personality a lot of us are vaguely interested in ... for some odd reason. Case in point: Rose has landed a part opposite Lindsay Lohan in I Know Who Killed Me. (Or, perhaps, we should start calling it, "That Film Which Stars Those Two Girls Who Wouldn't Be Famous if it Weren't For Their Ridiculous PR Stunts.")
Though we're not sure which character she'll be playing (one of Lohan's lonely friends?), Rose informed fans (sorry, but how on earth does this girl have fans when her entire celebrity status was based on a lie?) on her MySpace page that she recently shot her first scenes with Lohan, and confirmed the actress was not as bad as the press makes her out to be. Says Rose, "In my opinion she seemed very sweet and funny and absolutely beautiful!" Well, in my opinion, Rose is now the one being fooled. In the thriller, Lohan plays a girl who is kidnapped, rescued, then claims her long lost twin sister is still being held captive. On the surface, it seems like a stretch for the young actress -- but with all her real-life multiple personalities, something tells me Lohan will shine in the role.

Not that I follow Lohan's career particularly closely, but didn't she already play twins once in a remake of The Parent Trap?

Yeah, that's a lie. Lohan's from my hometown. She told me to f*** myself in 7th grade, and has been seen by friends of mine at places like the ice cream store saying things like "I don't wait in line, I'm a celebrity, a**holes." Oh yeah, this girl is such a great person indeed.

Lonelygirl15 was no more a "lie" than anything else coming out of Hollywood. I'm not sure why you were so offended by an obvious fiction.

Interesting. She has a stare almost exactly like Web 2.0 superstar (and Digg.com founder) Kevin "The Dark Tipper" Rose.

I need to point out a fact mistake in the post: "...posed as a small town 15-year-old..."
The character she posed as was actually 16 (the number 15 was just in her name). The character has now turned 17. Her birthday was celebrated in the fan forums, but it wasn't mentioned in the videos.
I'm a Jessica Rose fan lol :)
