Lindsay Lohan is out of the Gotti biopic already

fp_7151306_lohan_lindsay_ny
Note that this is Celebitchy writing this, not Kaiser (I hate talking about myself in the third person and with my stage name, but it seems fitting here.) Kaiser took a rare afternoon off or I know she would love to cover this news. Well Lindsay and her people have been bragging about how she got a real job despite the fact that she’s uninsurable and and incredible liability in that she didn’t show up to work back when she was much more sober than she is. No one knows when and for how long Lindsay will be going to jail (I’m an optimist and am not going to write “if” she’s going) and when she’ll get into trouble next. Her dad went to prison with John Gotti’s son, though, and used his mafia ties to get his trainwreck daughter a role. Who knows what kind of favors the Gottis owed the Lohans.

Lindsay was set to play a “younger” Victoria Gotti, she had Victoria’s blessing and everything despite looking older and harder than she does. However the very guy who just sung Lindsay’s praises, producer Marc Fiore, totally backtracked and said she’s not in at all. He told People that they’re looking to recast that part and it sounds like Lindsay’s team (i.e. her mom and dad) were difficult as hell to deal with. The last director is rumored to have been adamantly opposed to hiring Lindsay, and he recently left so the door was wide open for her, but she swung it shut with her grossly inflated sense of entitlement, just as she’s done her entire career.

“We are not talking any further about Lindsay playing Victoria,” says Marc Fiore, producer of Gotti: Three Generations. “She is no longer being considered. The talks have stopped. We are going to meet with other people [for the role].”

But just last week, it seemed almost a sure thing when Lohan popped up at the movie’s April 12 press conference and looked strikingly like Victoria Gotti. Even John Travolta, who’s playing Gotti Sr., in the yet-to-be-made flick said, “I always thought she was gorgeous and talented.”

So is Lohan just too expensive and troublesome to insure with all of her past legal troubles?

For now it’s omerta for Fiore, who would not explain why she’s been “bumped off.”

“She a wonderful person,” he tells PEOPLE. “Her legal case has nothing to do with it. We just couldn’t reach terms.”

[From People]

TMZ has more, including the detail that “the various demands of her management team just got out of control” and another quote from the producer that “I will only ride a merry-go-round with my kids.” He added that “Maybe if Lindsay calls me up, we can talk about it,” but you know he only did that to appease the Gottis. Or because Lindsay did him a ton of “favors” to get the part and he feels guilty about it. He’s sick of her merry go round in so many ways.

This girl’s career was over a few years ago. When even her dad’s prison mob connections can’t score her a role as a woman she resembles remarkably in both looks and character, (no offense to Victoria Gotti) you know there’s no hope for her.

    This is going to be rude…but…
    YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES.

    Had a bet with a girlfriend. Just won $20. Holllla 🙂

  2. NayNay says:

    I couldn’t be more happy. Maybe now this self centered, self entitled little bitch will learn that she is not all that anymore, and her actions definitely have some consequences. Time to drop her manangement team. Could that team be momma Dina?

  3. danielle352 says:

    Don’t you guys like being right?

    Total instant gratification (since we were just talking about it this morning).

  4. brin says:

    Wonder if one of those “various demands” was an endless supply of crack.

  5. krissy says:

    I really want to know what demands DIna was making…maybe she wanted a part in the movie as well. And for her and ALi to be added to the payroll? I really wouldn’t be surprised.

  6. danielle352 says:

    If I was her and showed up in that fug outfit, with the fuglier hair, all presumptuous and smug, then got brushed off, I would just feel so STUPID!!!

    hehe

  7. yt says:

    Instead of being grateful for the job offer and reasonable with a contract, the diva Lohan team must have demanded salary and perks to suit a real star with a major role. SNAFU.

    The producer may only be using Lindsay as a PR tool for the movie.

  8. Kaboom says:

    Her only motion picture of note in the last few years was on surveillance video.

  9. Jackson says:

    If this chick had the least bit of sense about her she would do anything and everything to make things easy on anyone willing to give her a job. What a complete joke and utter waste this woman is. Like she is in a position to demand anything. She should consider herself lucky if they pay her.

  10. melinda says:

    I didn’t think this would actually happen but it didn’t happen a whole lot sooner!

  11. Ellie says:

    How in the world can she land a movie roll when it’s possible she will be going to jail. I think Lindsey and her crazy family keep lighting these fires in the media to make it seems as though movie execs are interested. It’s all a desperate ploy from her camp. Pathethic if you ask me. Hey, BTW where’s Michael been lately. Haven’t seen or heard anything from him the last couple of weeks. Such a joke…..

  12. Kate says:

    Where’s Innocent?? This day of Lohan crackery won’t be complete until Innocent weighs in on this!!

  13. Joe's Mom says:

    Seriously, Jackson. She should consider herself lucky to just be working and getting paid at all. Her “management team” was probably trying to get her a deal that would ensure that LL would net enough so that her entire family could live in the lap of luxury for the next 5 years or so. Humble and grateful is not in the vocabulary of that family.

  14. brin says:

    Can’t wait to hear how Mother and Daughter Crackhead spin this one.

  15. Ben says:

    I can’t waaaaait for the spin on this one. She decided against it? Conflicting schedule with her forthcoming directorial debut starring Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore?

  16. sapphire says:

    Not hardly with that production. The usual crack fantasy.

    Can’t wait to see what crazy excuse Innocent will invent.

  17. Samigirl says:

    I’m seriously keeping the radar page open to see what White Oprah says about how her daughter was unfairly treated.

  18. OhMyMy says:

    Guess this blows all that “wishful casting” out of the water huh.

    Would anyone even know Marc Fiore’s name right now if hadn’t been for Lindsay? Or heard anything about the Linda Lovelace movie?

    People have been using her name for publicity for years she’s just too stupid to realize it. All you have to do is say “Lindsay Lohan” and everyone freaks out going: NO! Not Lindsay…she’ll ruin it! And you get free PR and website hits for your project. A few years ago it was the Scary Spice chick that had that Vegas/Pussycat Doll show and even Ryan Seacrest. And let’s not forget Ungaro…would anyone be talking about their collection if wasn’t for Lindsay’s just stick a red sparkly heart on it and call it good failure.

    Nowadays it’s just the lowest of the low bottom of the barrel types that are trying it (Tyler Shields). I guess all you have to do is just suck up really hard to her and tell how she’s so hot and such a talented actress to get anything you want out of her. Kinda like the slow kid at school that always got talked into eating paste. She lost control of her brand a long time ago.

    If she doesn’t get a grip on things soon the last movie she’ll be in is the creepy Sham Wow guys comedy cause he told her she looks just like Marilyn. Pathetic.

  19. Isa says:

    Maybe it was all a scam from the beginning and they just took her on for publicity which she is always good for.

    I just thought it was strange that she was even there, when nothing was confirmed yet.

    It makes both parties look less credible, if this project is even serious to begin with…….

  20. dread pirate cuervo says:

    Dina wanted free Carvel for the whole family for life. No Fudgie the Whale Wednesdays, no Cokie Puss in the movie!

  21. Marjalane says:

    They would have had to be given a Gov’t bailout to cover her insurance, so I kind of doubt if it was ever going to happen in the first place. Cracky is going to have a lot to pray about on Good Friday.

  22. Me1st says:

    “innocent” is surprisingly silent. she must be rounding up the coke and tequila for her and LL to drown their sorrows as they celebrate Good Friday
    ROTFLMAO

  23. Julbug says:

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA X 100

  24. KJ says:

    This project will be direct to DVD at best. The only legit player in this whole mess was Nick Cassavettes, who apparently was all “F*ck this LL bullshit, I don’t need to sully my credentials with coke freckles.” Everyone else (other than Travolta but it’s not like he’s done a good movie in the last decade) was nothing more than a no-name con artist posing as professional film makers.

    The funny thing is, I’m sure Lindsay could have very well had the part. IF she hadn’t crash the press conference, uninvited, posed for pictures like the ink had already BEEN dry on the contracts. IF she was actually not in denial, surrounded by enablers and hangers-ons, and serious about recovery and work. IF her “management team” wasn’t a bunch of losers and users who told her hold out for more money than she’s been worth in years. It’s not like this is a star studded cast being backed by big Hollywood movers and shakers. She could have very well locked down the part, proved us all wrong, done a good job with the role, acted respectfully and with humility. But, alas, she’s an addict, a narcissist and an entitled brat who can’t keep it together for a millisecond. As shady as this project was, it could have at least been a notch on her comeback belt. But she blew it. Guess she’s not good for more than blowing producers and doing blow…

  25. Rhiley says:

    I am waiting for Mama Crackhead to run to Inside Edition and tell them that Lindsay isn’t in the movie because Lindsay chose not to be in the movie. Mama Crackhead to Billy Bush: “As much as Lindsay loves Victoria Gotti and John Travolta, and although the entire Gotti family really wanted her in the film as did the director and all of the producers, Lindsay decided now is not the right time for her to agree to any movie deals with such a well known cast. She is very committed to her sobriety right now and going to church. Linds is afraid to break the cycle of AA and church. Does she miss work? Of course, but right now is just not the time for such a big production. Lindsay is all about church and AA and she is waiting for our heavenly father to let her know when a good time will be to get back major films, like her Disney hit Mean Girls. I know everyone loves Mean Girls and Lindsay and we all can’t wait until she is back on the screen, but now just isn’t the time.”

  26. Tanya says:

    @Julbug: I’ll take your X 100 and raise it to a X INFINITY!

  27. hellen says:

    Bwahahahaha!! Well, THAT didn’t take long! Fiore must have gotten his lab results back and discovered that Lindz gave him a little “something extra”.

  28. OhMyMy says:

    Rhiley: Thanks for the good laugh! Maybe you should be writing her press releases.

    Hollywood’s going to use this girl as a case study/cautionary tale on how NOT to manage a career for years to come.

  29. Eleonor says:

    @KJ: let me see if I understood your comment.. if she wasn’t Lindsay Lohan?

  30. Ron says:

    I just feel sorry for her now. It’s really lost it’s humor. She is in no position to demand anything and should just be happy someone is willing to work with her at all at this point. Insuring her will be hard enough, but Robert Downey Jr was insured after his prison stint and look where he is now. It seems impossible she will turn this around but everyone said the same thing when RDJ was arrested at a cheap motel on Washington Blvd.

  31. KJ says:

    @Eleonor – Precisely

  32. TurquoiseBlue says:

    LOL @ KJ‘s ‘coke freckles’!

    I’m sure Dina will be whoring herself to TMZ any minute now to defend her ‘child’ from these ‘false rumors’. Should be good.

  33. Eileen says:

    Isn’t Crackey’s trial coming up? Should I get my crackey-jacks & hatertini’s ready?

  34. wunderkindt says:

    The producer is convinced she’s going to jail.

  35. Melinda says:

    Why won’t this woman put on a bra? There’s nothing cute about saggy boobs.

  36. Crash2GO2 says:

    Wow. The Lohans are so toxic not even the mob can stand dealing with them.

  37. TaylorB says:

    Crash… Hahahahahahahahaha!

    Holy crap I just choked on my coffee.

  38. Rita says:

    First off, Why the hell isn’t Kaiser required to carry a beeper and WiFi these fast breaking threads into Celebitchy?

    Second, as long as our threads are exceptionally well written, as this one is, we over look any cut-a-bitch turf wars.

    Third, The producer said the door was still open if Lilo calls him so I assume the little crack-head will give the producer a little…..crack-head.

    Hi Crash, hi Eileen. Where you been brin?

  39. dorothy says:

    Wow…how low can you go?

  40. sapphire says:

    Good call-from Radar, Linnocent exclusively told them “Not done, no” In your dreams, crack-head.

    Speaking of which, Michael Lohan is now offered to date anyone for $10gs. Who could be THAT desperate?

  41. Fire says:

    Three letters:
    B.R.A.

    They could pass as sisters! KNEW this was not going to happen.

    I’m with you wunder – he thinks she’s going to jail.

    Why is it not surprising that Travolta likes her? We see his lack of common sense everyday he puts on that rug.

    And crash – hilarious!

  42. 3Kids says:

    This is truly fun – that says something rather sad about my life – watching for the inevitable spin from Dina “Lindsay was only in rehab 2 times, the other 2 don’t count becuase they were court ordered” Loserhan. You know it’s coming and it’s gonna be GOOD.
    @edit Ron – RDJ was totally uninsurable – incredibly enough he got his first comeback job on Singing Detective becuase Mel Gibson of all people paid for the insurance out his own pocket. But that is another saga….and I don’t know why I can’t spell because.

  43. brin says:

    Evenin, Rita! I was out of town but I’m back again…I’m glad the Lilo post brings us all together (but not like a Leann post…it’s been too long!).

  44. ctkat1 says:

    Lindsay and Michael Lohan have already released a statement to Radar Online:

    “Marc Fiore, executive producer of the upcoming Gotti: Three Generations confirmed the news to RadarOnline: “Lindsay is not going to be in the movie. Her playing Victoria Gotti is off the table. There is zero chance that Lindsay will be in the movie, negotiations are done. ”
    Lindsay completely disagrees with this. When asked if it was true that she’s out of the film, the 24-year-old Mean Girls star told a RadarOnline reporter, “Not done. No.”
    Lindsay’s father Michael Lohan railed against her management team. “For anyone on Lindsay’s team to negotiate themselves out of the deal is insane. This could only help re-launch her career to work with the likes of someone like John Travolta, Marc Fiore and the Gotti Family. Her team has screwed up enough of her career already. It’s time for Lindsay to take the reins and control her own destiny.””

  46. Quest says:

    Love it…yeah…finally some justice

  47. e.non says:

    damn. and this is some low budget, straight to video production. and she makes demands!?! unreal.

    she really needs a swift kick in the ass.

  48. Eze says:

    Don’t worry Linday Lohan, when one door closes God opens another. Don’t let the bitter harpies get you down!

  49. DGO says:

    See, this is why I don’t feel sorry for her. She is her own worst enemy.

  50. jasmine says:

    Its really too bad this girl messed her life up so badly. She was BEAUTIFUL just afew years ago.And she wasnt the worst actress ever either.She wouldve made a good Victoria,she looks alot like her.Such a shame

  51. SolitaryAngel says:

    Bwahahahahahahhahahaha!

    Also, Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

  52. Eileen says:

    Hey Crash & Rita! Long time no chat! =D
    Nothing like a little Crack-head drama to get the CB Ladies reunited!

  53. Ur Favorite Bartender says:

    @Mia… LMAO!!!!

  54. Ruby Red Lips says:

    Thank god!! 😀

    Tho crackie and crackie pa senior are both refusing to face reality which is either really pitifully sad or downright arrogant….

    CB, love you but Kaiser is needed for Lindsay stories, her ‘edgier’ spin suits crackie reporting far too well 😀

  55. Sumodo1 says:

    Well, I HATE to say I never believed it in the first place, but, yeah. I never believed it in the first place.

  56. brin says:

    Whiplash time! TMZ is now saying that Lindsay will be in the film, playing another part. She over-ruled her “team” and patched things up so she could be in the film! This movie will never see the light of day!

  57. Ruby Red Lips says:

    On TMZ:

    Lindsay’s back on board the film to play John gotti junior’s daughter the part previously rumoured for Kim Kardashian!!!

    Lol!! Lindsay beat KK to the part…wow this must be a high quality movie with no chance of going straight to DVD 😀

  58. OhMyMy says:

    Apparently she called Marc Fiore and managed to patch things up (according to TMZ). She’s not playing Victoria though she’s being given the minor part that they were considering Kim K. for. Not much of a victory.

    Whee!!!! Is everyone having fun on the Lohaner Coaster today?

    This girl’s just getting tarsome.

  59. RHONYC says:

    tragic. 🙁

  60. lucy2 says:

    This screams of PR shenanigans, I just don’t know if it’s coming from the producer or Lohan. And don’t really care…

  61. Ben says:

    I don’t think ANYTHING I can say could make this more tragic. She’s pretty much Shakespearean Sad at this point.

    @KJ is so right. Just *so few* years ago (come on, think Britney) she was gorgeous and not untalented. A shitty lead would’ve destroyed Mean Girls, but she did her thang well. It seems to me like you’d need to TRY pretty hard to destroy such a promising career so quickly.

  62. Samigirl says:

    Shit. Now my friends asking for her $20 back. Ain’t this about some bullsh*t.

  63. echolocate says:

    Um, is the role for a wooden dummy? Kim Kardashian was considered?

    Not sure I’d crow about my victory if I “won” a minor part over a non-actor who has no discernible talent or personality.

    It’s too dark out now, but tomorrow, applying the Lohan principle, I intend to challenge that tree stump out there to a game of horse. Boo-yah, stump!

  64. Crystalline says:

    This whole on-off thing screams of the same tactics that Lovelace film used to get publicity. Hopefully that means they will boot her in the end.

  65. Madisyn says:

    Does anyone know where they’re filming? If its not in Cali she won’t be able to be in it unless the Judge lets her have her way, yet again.

    Friday can’t get here quick enough. So disappointed Judge Saunter won’t allow cameras. So so bummed!

  66. jill says:

    just like the insane buzz around Machete, seems to me as if La Crackie is just being used for publicity. there may be an eventual movie but she probably won’t be in it.

  67. curmudgeon says:

    Ohmymy
    Great rant. Anything that KimK is in talks for is a train wreck from conception. The funny thing to me about this “entitled brat” is that she is actually famous because she originally had some talent, auditioned and was hired on her own merit (I assume cuz she was too young for the couch). She doesn’t have a celebrity Mommy and Daddy like the Smith brats or Emma Roberts ad nausium etc etc. I want to feel sorry for her. I ocasionally do. But not in this story. God does she have a manager and does he or she have duct tape handy at all times?

  68. Crash2GO2 says:

    Hi ladies! Nice to have the gang all here! 🙂 But where is happygirl?

  69. MaudeLebowski says:

    I can hardly speak. She screws EVERYTHING up! Yet another potential job she doesn’t even deserve that she should fight for and be on her best behaviour for, and she screws it up.
    Well, her lack of employment will benefit society come jail time, because she has nothing with which to beg for leniency.

  70. gg says:

    Looking at the two of them, I just have to shake my head. People let them go out of the house with that comical fake hair?

  71. MaudeLebowski says:

    Dlisted says she’s already back in, but MK also says he thinks we’re all being punked by this Fiore troll! 😀
    I hope the whole thing is an ugly joke.

  72. Jenna says:

    Both of those women look like SHIT.

  73. Tazina says:

    Lindsay is not out of the Gotti pic.

  74. hellen says:

    I don’t think she’s shtupping Jr. Gotti – check the body language in that last pic up there. In fact, everyone in that photo looks like they hate everybody else and can’t wait to get the hell out of there.

    Much as the audience for this eventual crapfest will feel about getting out of the theater.

  75. Dizzybenny says:

    she looked to old for the part anyways!

  76. NicoleAM says:

    After all these posts I feel this may be redundant but…..HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHLOLLOLOLOLOL!!!!

  77. Jess says:

    Why doesn’t she have a reality show yet?

  78. Shy says:

    The biggest loser here is John Travolta. His career is dead. And there he was in a mob movie probably thinking that it will be as cool as Casino. And there was acclaimed director Nick Cassavetes… And then came Lohan…. And here he is –
    Cassavetes run off as soon as he heard that those crazy producers want to hire Lohan for real. Movie that supposed to resurrect Travolta’s career officially become joke. Everyone laughs from it. Joe Pesci probably will be next who will run off from that sinking ship.
    And Lohan now supposed to play role that Kim Kardashian auditioned for!!! 🙂
    I can’t even. And poor John can’t run off. Because this is his Big Role.

    And then the fact that most probably that movie won’t even be shot. I can’t see any studio to give millions and millions of dollars for Lohan movie. When you can guarantee that this idiot will start to show up late or drunk on work. And between shots she will have to go to her court appearances. Or jails. And add the fact that movie will bomb at the box-office. Because obviously.

    Mark my words. That movie will not be shot. They have to start shoot in October. But most probably it will be delayed.

  79. Elj says:

    Radar are already saying she’s back in it and Fiore has backtracked on these comments.

  80. original kate says:

    jeez, that was fast.
