What safer way for Lindsay Lohan to put her wild, partying, panty-less days behind her than by jumping from rehab into a movie about drug addicts? La Lohan has just announced she intends to star in Hippy, a new project from director Chris Siverston. Lohan loved working with him so much on the upcoming I Know Who Killed Me that she made a deal for Hippy even though it's only in its "embryonic stage." Lohan told Entertainment Weekly: "I have so much faith in (Siverston), just as a person, and I just love working with him. I love him (so much) as a person, that while we were on set, I was like, "Let's make a deal right now." I love the double use of the phrase "as a person" -- you can imagine her publicist sitting right there pointing to a sign with those words on it.

Hippy is said to be about a group of kids who take a cross-country trip. One of the kids drops acid, goes nuts, and according to Lohan "starts, like, killing people." Like, whoa! Lohan's co-star in Hippy will be Marc Senter, who also appears in I Know Who Killed Me and who previously starred in Siverston's The Lost, the film that drew Lohan to the director. Lohan thinks that this Siverston guy "is going to be huge." You know ... as a person! EW asks Lohan if her working relationships with Siverston and Senter could be a new Hollywood team a la Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio and she responds "I'm all for it. Not that I wouldn't love to work with Scorsese also." Here's hoping Mr. Scorsese doesn't read that article.

We've already told you how Lindsay Lohan is set to star in the indie pic (because she's all about taking on complicated roles that fit her complicated split personality) I Know Who Killed Me Last Summer at Paris Hilton's House ... wait, sorry ... it's just simply called I Know Who Killed Me. Well, Julia Ormond has signed on to play Lohan's mom in the pic, which will be directed by Chris Siverston and begin shooting this month in Los Angeles and New York.

It's sort of an odd story, one that I'm still trying to wrap my head around. Apparently, Ormond will play the mother of a woman (Lohan) who is kidnapped. Seems pretty basic. However, when the missing girl is found, she claims to be her twin sister and insists her other half is still in trouble. It sounds like a fantastic role for an actress, one that will enable her to play two different people who may or may not be one in the same. I dig it ... but can Lohan pull it off? Look, I'm a nice guy who's had plenty of nasty things to say about Lohan and her off-screen antics. With that said, it appears she's attempting to turn things around, taking on gutsy roles, with her main priority being to prove she belongs where she is. Personally, I'm willing to judge her on screen, not off, and hope for her sake that she turns things around and really gives these roles her all. If not, well ... we're not losing much. Good luck Lindsay!
