Lindsay Lohan is in talks to play Elizabeth Taylor in a Lifetime movie

In between photo shoots where she demanded to be styled like Marilyn Monroe, Lindsay Lohan stopped for a moment and decided that she would like to be styled like Elizabeth Taylor, circa Butterfield 8, for one photo shoot. The shoot was back in 2006, I believe, and it was for Interview Magazine – I’ve included a couple of the shots in this post. This was obviously back when LL had some semblance of a career, and back when her crack-face still looked relatively normal, and she hadn’t begun jacking her lips with everything she could find. Still, over the years, the Cracken definitely forced the Marilyn Monroe comparisons much harder, which makes this news even more ridiculous. Lindsay is in talks to play one of the most famous brunettes in the history of Hollywood – she in discussions to PLAY Elizabeth Taylor in a Lifetime movie based on Taylor and Richard Burton’s love story. BITCH PLEASE. And who will play Richard Burton? Wilmer Valderrama?

After emulating Marilyn Monroe in a series of photo shoots, most recently for Playboy, Lindsay Lohan may be taking on another screen legend, Elizabeth Taylor. I have learned that the 25-year-old actress is in early talks for the female lead in Lifetime’s original movie Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story, chronicling the enduring love of movie icons Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, whose fiery romance was the most notorious, publicized and celebrated love affair of its day.

The film, produced by Larry Thompson (Amish Grace) and written by Christopher Monger (Temple Grandin), was originally announced as part as Lifetime’s 2011-12 development slate. Lohan, a child actress who successfully transitioned into young adult roles with Freaky Friday and Mean Girls, has been largely sidelined from her acting career for the past couple of years by stints in rehab, jail, court rooms and recently, a morgue as part of her community service. Lohan’s most recent credits include the features Machete and Labor Pains and an arc on ABC’s Ugly Betty.

Lohan has been compared to Taylor. In addition to their physical resemblance, a 2004 Slate story lists a host of other similarities: “Both had domineering stage mothers, little semblance of a real childhood, fame from a young age, substance abuse issues, public emotional outpourings, and copious amounts of tabloid drama. The key difference, though, is that Elizabeth Taylor had a true record of achievement before she became the most notorious movie star in America.”

[From Deadline]

The key difference is that Elizabeth Taylor was never a mangy crackhead. Sure, Liz could drink like a fish and she had a problem with pills later in her life, right? But when Elizabeth was LL’s age, she was already the biggest movie star in the world, she was already a mother, she already had been married and divorced a few times, and she was just about to get with her first great love, Mike Todd. Meanwhile, LL… just posed for Playboy? Ugh. Please don’t do this, Lifetime. Please don’t destroy my soul. Please don’t piss on the memory of Dame Elizabeth Taylor.

    Here we go again….

    • DreamyK says:

      Is there no end to her f*ckery? Ugh. Go away, Skanky Mcstanky.

    • Sab says:

      Why does this hoe think she should be the one to portray these actresses who were legendary for their beauty, as well as their talent? Like really?? She must be using the really good stuff…YUCK

  2. TheOriginalKitten says:

    I wish people wouldn’t give her work. I know it’s a Lifetime movie but even so. Aslo, she’ll have to stop effin’ with her lips if she wants to even remotely resemble Liz Taylor.

  3. Olivia says:

    Lohan needs a reality check. She doesn’t have the looks, class, grace, or talent to play people like Marilyn or Elizabeth. I’m starting to think she’s really delusional.

  4. brin says:

    Worst.Idea.Ever.

    • mia girl says:

      Agree! And, I can’t believe I am about to write this… but…
      I’d rather see Kim K play Taylor than have to watch Cracky do it.

      (Damn you to h*ll Lindsey Lohan for making me write those words! Damn you to h*ll!!!)

    • Gigi says:

      This is sacrilege!

  5. Katyusha says:

    Yes! Perfect casting!!

    *HUGE eyeroll*

    Who in their right mind would cast her as Liz Taylor???

  6. Cirque28 says:

    What does this child have against being a redhead?

    • WorksEveryTime says:

      Seriously. She was a knockout in her “Mean Girls” days, redheaded and curvy enough to pull off those ridiculous implants.

  7. NosPe says:

    LiLo is tragedy queen ala Marylin Monroe and Liz Taylor. I hope she adopts and turns her life around like Angie. If Angie is really a humanitarian as she claims to be she should LiLo under her wing and mentor her.

    • Veruca says:

      I agree, but AJ’s issues seem to have come from her relationship with her father. LL is just a selfish, entitled, delusional b*tch. Unless God intervenes, I can’t see any epiphanies on her horizon.

      In the meantime, I wish she’d just disappear and take the other one who equates herself to Liz (KK) with her.

    • Ruby Red Lips says:

      I don’t even know what to say to ‘Angie should take Linnocent under her wing’….I take it you are taking the p*ss?!!

      Why would Linnocent be worthy of Angie’s causes?? There are really deserving people who Angie already tries to help rather than some spoilt entitled sociopathic druggie who flouts all the rules…

      & I would sincerely hope Linnocent never adopts or reproduces…think of the poor child please

      I really hope you were joking & I missed it..

    • the original bellaluna says:

      Angie already has 6 CHILDREN. She does not need, nor should she even consider, “adopting” an alcohol-fueled, drug-ridden, legally-troubled, car-jacking, baby-nicking, narcissistic 25 year-old “child” like Lindsay.

      *waves to Mad, Ruby Red, brin, Rita, et al* 😀

  8. someone says:

    oh lawd. dec.21, 2012 cannot come any sooner

  9. Babette says:

    That’s blasphemy to even consider Lohan to portray Elizabeth Taylor. I’m just so outraged, I can’t even suggest someone else – but almost anyone else would be a better choice. The idea is vomitous.

    • Original Tiffany says:

      It really is repellant. Liz Taylor was and always will be one of the great beauties and sex goddesses ever to walk this earth.
      The Cracken couldn’t even pull off a semblance of her in 06. NO NO NO!!!!

      And the acting talent of Liz – no comparison to Ms. Herbie. Shoot, she was better at 12 in National Velvet than the Cracken could ever hope to be.

      Plus, I thought she lost her SAG card. No, not her boobs, the actual SAG card:)

      • Babette says:

        Liz was so stunning in “Father of the Bride”, it was almost painful to watch her. You’re right, she was also better in “National Velvet”, at 12 years old, than Lohan will ever be.

        LOL at the SAG comment!

      • txvxf says:

        The biggest problem, I think, will be the eyes. Elizabeth Taylor always had amazing, expressive eyes, and it’s obvious from that photo shoot that even back in ’06 Lohan was dead in the eyes.

      • hazeldazel says:

        And, you know, the thing about a Lohan… she’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living… until she bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and they… rip you to pieces.

    • mia girl says:

      “The idea is vomitous”
      Yup, that pretty much sums it up for me.

  10. Ruby Red Lips says:

    Isn’t Linnocent impossible to insure?? How can she possibly be up for this role?

    • brin says:

      Well, in her delusional mind, she’s probably also playing “Natalie Wood” and “Audrey Hepburn”.

  11. carrie says:

    i can believe Dicaprio will b a credible Sinatra!
    i can believe Michelle Williams is a credible Marilyn Monroe!
    i can believe Christian Bale might be a credible Steve Jobs!
    i can believe DDl will be a credible Lincoln!
    BUT Lohan as Liz Taylor looks as credible as Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy!(and i saw Holmes in the Kennedy Tv movies)

  12. Boo says:

    I think someone put this out there as a joke. Lifetime movies are a joke anyway, but still, this is a laugh riot even for them.

  13. Eleonor says:

    Yes, but before starting her new role, wasn’t she supposed to be Linda Lovelace? Ops she was replaced.
    No way she will be Dame Elizabeth, who had and addiction…to diamonds.

  14. HoustonGrl says:

    I think it’s very strange that, nowadays, being a bean pole with huge boobs supposedly recalls “curvy” iconic beauties. Lohan doesn’t in any way embody these qualities.

  15. Jessica says:

    I agree Babette – pure blasphemy!!!

  16. Jennifer says:

    She will be fab as Elizabeth Taylor. Lilo is very talented no matter what haters say. She is doing great recently. Get that Emmy Lilo.

    • Blue says:

      Lol! Please stop I’m dying over here.
      Seriously though, this is the WORST idea.

    • someone says:

      it’s only 9 AM here so i’m still a groggy, but i’m sincerely hoping that’s blatant sarcasm, right? cause in that case, i’m sure she’ll be up for an oscar by 2013 FOR SURE

    • Karen says:

      Dina Jennifer Lohan – please step away from the gossip blogs!!!

    • Ruby Red Lips says:

      OMG!!! You are the funniest!! Or the craziest!!!

    • Tweakspotter says:

      LMAO…good LAWD isn’t it too early for CRACK? Girl you need to quit nobody is feeling this broads crackwhore ways anymore. It’s OVAH…stick a fork in her cuz she’s DONE!

  17. Dani says:

    It is a lifetime movie! I believe that all of our memories of Liz are safe.

  18. Ann says:

    So what? It’s not like Taylor is or was ever considered a great actress or a classy woman.

    • Original Tiffany says:

      That’s a joke, right?
      Butterfield 8, Cat on a hot tin roof? Star of stage, screen, and TV? Respected by everyone in the field and great friends with them? Her humanitarian efforts with AIDS from the beginning?
      Are you ignorant of the subject we are discussing?
      You might want to do some reading. Dame Elizabeth was not a Cracken or Tara Reid thrust into the edge of Hollywood turning tricks for blow.

    • Babette says:

      With all due respect, Liz Taylor won an Oscar, raised a family, and helped raise millions to help find a cure for AIDS and help those who are suffering from it). She was incredibly well-loved and respected for her humanitarian causes, fierce loyalty, and honesty. I don’t believe I have ever heard of Lohan coming close. Liz was luminous and real…

      • Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

        She had two. One for the ‘traecheotomy’ and then for Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?

  19. YokoDMV says:

    This is ALL KINDS OF WRONG – that being said it will probably never happen – and that being said they do kind of look alike in some of these pics…

  20. Jacq says:

    Ali would make a better Liz Taylor. It looks like a head photoshopped onto a body.

  21. dorothy says:

    Me too! The queen also called and wants to knight me, told them they would have to wait until I got back from receiving the Nobel Peace prize.

  22. Akula says:

    There is not a NOOOOOOOOOO long enough or loud enough to accurately portray my reaction to this idea. Just ugh.

  23. Quest says:

    Isn’t anything sacred anymore

  24. marge says:

    excuse me… exactly WHAT physical resemblance, ? they both have breasts? Then I look just like Elizabeth Taylor too!

  25. Kiki says:

    Nooooooooooooooo! That would be like a sin!

  26. imabrat says:

    Oh that is just the absolute worst choice they could make. What a slap in the face to Liz! Give the girl a Lifetime movie about a trampy has been, but not the role of Taylor.

    • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

      Yes! She was made for that Lifetime movie, “The Client List,” where J Love Hewitt played that hooker.

  27. lucy2 says:

    Gross!
    Though I’m sure this is just more of her PR strategy. She never actually gets hired for this stuff, her rep just puts her name out there with the vague “in talks” to try to keep her relevant as an actress.

    • mia girl says:

      If that is true, then Lifetime should sue her ass because their brand is taking a serious beating from this. And let’s be honest, it’s not like they have a great standing in the mind of TV viewers to begin with, so for something to make the channel look worse, well only Lohan has that magic touch.

  28. Hautie says:

    Did Lifetime forget this story has already been done for TV?

    Sherilyn Fenn… who is a true beauty… portrayed Elizabeth Taylor in a decent made for TV movie. (1995)

    Why not just rerun that movie and call it a day.

    Yet, I find it incredibly suspect, that even Lifetime would hire Lohan. Who has a full blown crackie face… to portray a woman known for her natural beauty.

    I find it hard to grasp how anyone believes this is a good idea.

    (I rather see LeAnn Rimes do it before Lohan. haha!)

  29. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    Liz liked fine crystal and Lindz likes crystal meth. Omg they’re exactly alike!

    The only way I’m on board with this is if they cast Eddie Cibrian as Richard Burton 😉

  30. Scarlet Vixen says:

    “The key difference is that Elizabeth Taylor was never a mangy crackhead.” OMG. I’m dying here! One of the best lines ever! I’ve never been a huge Elizabeth Taylor fan (I think her acting was seriously overrated), but the woman was gorgeous, a pretty good mom from what I recall, classy and elegant in the public eye and a humanitarian. And Lilo is…a druggy skank.

    And I see NO physical resemblance. *shudder*

  31. fabgrrl says:

    Oh Gawd, stop it! I can think of TWO women beautiful and graceful enough to play Elizabeth Taylor – CZJ and Angelina. I’m sure there are more, but those are the two that come to mine. Of course, looks aren’t everything, so a really talented actress could portray Dame Liz. But Lohan?!?! The only good that could come of this would be an epic, delusional b*tchfight between Lohan and Kim Kardashian for this “role”.

  32. Quinn says:

    One must assume Lindsay shared her best pharmaceuticals with the staff over at Lifetime

    • polk8dot says:

      She must have, for how else can you explain that they looked at Blohan’s person and pictures, in real life, as shown above, and the only thought they had was ‘Wow, she’s the second coming of Liz Taylor! Let’s snatch her before someone else does!’
      Following this development, they also opened super secret talks with:
      Tara Reid to play Marilyn Monroe,
      Megan Fox to play Audrey Hepburn,
      the Maniston to portray the great Katherine Hepburn!
      Bwahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!! Wow, holding my breath for the news coming out in 3,2,….flatline…….

      Soon to follow:
      John Heder as Ronald Reagan,
      Rob Schneider as JFK,
      Jonah Hill as the pope Benedict XVI,
      Ryan Reynolds as pretty much anyone,
      Courtney Stodden as Mother Teresa,
      and Britney Spears as Margaret Thatcher!

      Shooooot, this game is awesome, I’m so cracking myself up (pun intended), oh let’s keep it going. Any suggestions? Please? 🙂

  33. Renee says:

    horrible idea

  34. Tierra says:

    This is just sick!
    LL couldnt act her way out of a paper bag let alone play MM or LT. If the part doesnt resemble a crackhead or a spoiled, entitled brat then there’s no way she can pull it off. She can only cover roles that are similar to herself.
    I was really hoping for less LL in 2012 🙁

  35. Zigggy says:

    Wow, she does look really beautiful in that pic where she’s wearing the white slip. Wish she would give up that gross washed up blonde colour she insists on wearing. But even if she was brunette or a red head again, her face will never be the same- quite a shame.

    • connie says:

      Seeing old pictures like these, where she looks good (styling aside) are such sharp contrasts to how she looks now. It is really shocking & for her to not realize is really sad.

  36. GoodCapon says:

    I wouldn’t lose sleep over this. It’s a Lifetime movie, you can pretty much guarantee that it’s going to suck.

  37. I.want.shoes says:

    Way to keep on feeding her (crack) delusions of grandeur.

  38. Mi says:

    I actually like how Lohan looks in that photoshoot, she actually looks pretty BUT her as Liz Taylor (even in a Lifetime movie), has to be a joke, right?

  39. melanie says:

    I could kind of see it…i mean she is a good actress – I think with the right kind of role she could resurrect her career. But I just love Parent Trap and my daughters love it – and I feel like her parents are so much to blame that I would like to see her get a lucky break. Don’t hate me.

    • GoodCapon says:

      She is a good actress. It’s a real pity she went down the self-destruction route.

      • polk8dot says:

        She is NOT A GOOD ACTRESS! She is not even average!
        She is horribly wooden, has not clue about character buildup or story arc development, and has only two modes of operation: nothing at all or overacting to outrageous proportions (‘Georgia Rule’ anyone?).
        Her best (because almost the only)work in recent years has been in ‘The Holiday’ where she played herself in a movie trailer – mainly because she was on screen fo the whopping 20 seconds! The only role she could pull of would be that of Donatella Versace, as I think they share a plastic surgeon and LL is clearly following DV as her ideal of female beauty to aspire to. That I can get with….
        And as for the pictures from 2006 and her resemblance to Liz Taylor – well, Photoshop can make anyone look however you like, who-ever you like. Recent pivotal achievement in ‘shopping: Kim Lardassian as a size 2! and Ryan Reynolds as the Sexiest Man Alive…..
        ROTFL 🙂

  40. Victoria says:

    Her voice ruins every role she is in. How can she submerge herself in a character when that voice says: LL here?

    Will Spielberg touch the gay & pox part of Lincoln’s life? Both Mr & Mrs Lincoln had the pox.

    • Lady D says:

      Gay part? What gay part? Could you elucidate on that Victoria? Never heard those rumours about Lincoln.

      • Scarlet Vixen says:

        Don’t worry–@Victoria is talking out of her behind. Lincoln was not gay, nor did he have the pox. Mary Todd didn’t, either. She was just cray-cray. So many biographies have been written about Abe that lately people will come up with any screwball theory to make their version more interesting.

  41. Boo says:

    While we’re remarking about how nice LL looks in that top picture, let us not forget the nearly SIX YEARS of crackiness that stands between her and the face she once had.

    Did you see that “Carrie” remake story has resurfaced, too? They keep putting Lindsay’s name in there when they talk about it, just to get hits, I’d imagine. Then they say, “No, but seriously, folks, Lindsay is too old-looking and cracked-out to play a high school beauty, so let’s get serious and talk about the Fannings.

  42. sorry says:

    The first picture is pretty, but that was 2006. She no longer looks like that! I just don’t think she deserves any more chances.

  43. Quinn says:

    I thought the header photo was Rachel Lee Cook as Elizabeth Taylor…certainly not La Lohan. The footprints of unhealthy living have stomped across her face in the last five years.

  44. MaryRo says:

    Surely this is what is on the Mayan calendar signaling the end of the world!

  45. Julie says:

    Who should play her. Can’t come up with anyone right away.

  46. Jules says:

    The Cracken isn’t remotely qualified to play Elizabeth Taylor. What about Camilla Belle? With some violet contacts and the right hair/make-up, she would be lovely as Elizabeth.

  47. Zimmer says:

    Well one thing’s for sure.. She really knows how to hold a cigarette!

  48. Nancy says:

    NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!!

  49. Cherry Rose says:

    Hah! The producers of this film is just trying to drum up publicity for it, just like the guy from the Linda Lovelace biopic and the Gotti film. As soon as this film starts to get enough publicity around it, they’ll drop Lindsay fast enough.

    Though I wonder if Lindsay is pissed that as soon as she was dropped from the Linda Lovelace movie, a bunch of well established actors signed on.

    That has to show her that no one in Hollywood is interested in working with her. That has to burn.

  50. Zorbitor says:

    Liz was reviled by the public in the late 60’s for her hard partying and entitled behavior. In the 70’s she was the tabloids’ favorite has-been. It wasn’t until gays adopted her in the 80’s that the public decided to maybe like her … So yeah, maybe so

    • polk8dot says:

      Liz Taylor was never a has-been! And the gays did not ‘adopt’ her. No, SHE ADOPTED THE GAYS! She made it OK to talk about being gay in public, to not be ashamed of that life style, and to admit to having HIV/AIDS. There is a reason that she is adored by so may, and especially by the gay segment of the population – she was proudly carrying their flag in the name of her dear friend Rock Hudson, and turned his suffering and death into a source of good and progress.

  51. Courteney says:

    Why wasn’t Aniston offered the role?
    Surely the sexiest woman in the history
    of the world should get this role.

  52. lush33 says:

    WOW! Elizabeth Taylor was one of the most beautiful women to ever exist. A true talent who earned her place on the silver screen along side many of the brightest talents of her age. She was an oscar winner and a great humanitarian, who will always be remembered for her work with the AIDS cause and yet Lifetime compares her to a self-entitled junkie snit who’s one great accomplishment was being half way decent in a comedic movie that come out 7 years ago and who’s main demographic was 14- 18 year old girls. Bitch please

  53. teri says:

    I thought LL and ET were friends, if so maybe ET wanted this. I’m also happy to see LL slowly getting her life back and not doing the party scene and staying away from Paris H. drugged out friends.

    • polk8dot says:

      What makes you think that ET was ever friends with Blohan? Or that she even knew this twit existed? Or that she’d want a no-talent, washed-out, has-been, crack ho’ to play her. I gotta believe that even if the 2 first assumptions were somehow true, the last one would have seem preposterous to ET and all who knew, loved and admired her. Allowing this skank to portray her and her life’s work would only diminish that work and tarnish it and Liz’s own memory by association.

  54. BigHair&Pearls says:

    “Wilmer Valderrama?”! Laughed so hard, I think I peed a little!

  55. Courtney says:

    you people are forgetting that Dame Liz was addicted to pain killers from a back injury she suffered during the filming of National Velvet at age 12. please don’t let Linds play her I could see Daisy Bevan as the young Liz Taylor & Melissa Newman as the older granted both of them actually knew Liz through parents or grnd parents. Melissa’s mom actually shared a birthday with Liz and they used to celebrate it together back in the day and of course Liz was Maggie to Paul Newman’s Brick in Cat On A Tin Roof

    • Original Tiffany says:

      Nope, we are probably all aware of that and of some of her prior alcohol problems. Liz cleaned up, Liz was a humanitarian, a mom and an Oscar winner. Lots of people have battled addiction and Liz was sick for much of her life. It’s all there in black, white and color.
      There is just no comparison to a call girl for crack and Liz.

  56. The Other Katherine says:

    Dear. God. Please. NOOOOOOOOO.

    Elizabeth Taylor: One of the most beautiful women of the 20th century.

    Lindsay Lohan: Jumped-up, drugged-up, ignorant, peroxided trailer trash.

    This makes me want to puke all over your head, sir.

  57. kells-bells says:

    W.T. F.

  58. Bee says:

    LiLo needs to stop. She has already picked over Marilyn’s bones. She should Leave Dame Elizabeth out of her crack shenanigans. Also I agree she needs to stop fighting the ginge. All her problems started when she dyed her hair.

  59. hillbilly in the corner says:

    Hell , I might just send in my photo and resume for the role…I look more like Liz then Lindsay does. even if I am a 65 yr old grandma with white hair…at least my face is still my natural and I can read…but only if they get Bruce Boxinligtner(?) to play Richard…or whos that other old acter Lifetime likes to use ? the tall one with the blue blue eyes….

  60. Kim says:

    “Physical resemblance”?? Says who? Ray Charles?

  61. MrsNix says:

    Drew Barrymore had a comeback after some years of horrible behavior and addiction with small B-films (Poison Ivy, anyone) until she had the confidence of the industry again. The difference? Barrymore got SOBER first. The only way this whole comeback gig works is if the actor in question changes his/her ways before taking the humble jobs on the way back up.

    • fabgrrl says:

      Well, let’s be fair. Not to knock Drew (I love her!) but she also had the Barrymore name going for her. That surely helped.

      • Mari says:

        And the connectios! I think that Drew is also a hard worker.. She has created roles for herself and jobs for others, besides being talented at her movie range. Lilo really needs a reality pill, Drew came out of it, but Lilo loves living in delusion.

  62. LeeLoo says:

    Gross. Just gross. We need to petiton Lifetime to make sure this never happens.

  63. beany says:

    oh crap…

  64. Cathy says:

    The cracken playing the Great Liz Taylor. Rofflmao. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

  65. Kelly says:

    Bitch pls.

  66. Dredz says:

    GAG! No, no, no…!!! Liz would turn in her grave

  67. Petunia says:

    What else is there to add that’s not already been said? She was beautiful in ’06 but not enough like Taylor to play her. I don’t know if there is a woman alive who is beautiful and charismatic enough to play Taylor convincingly. She was a one-of-a-kind, just like a precious diamond that she collected.

    The past five years have not been kind to poor Lohan. She really was beautiful with the dark hair. My goodness. All that she could have been, lost to the ravages of drugs and hard living. I think the only star she could convincintly play today would be Dana Plato. And that’s not a good thing. Well, at least Lohan is still alive. Where there’s life, there’s hope.

    • polk8dot says:

      Oh, let’s not short change her – she has at least 1 more good casting in her. Blohan would be perfect as Donatella Versace – she already seems to emulate that one’s ideal of female beauty, hehe..

  68. whatevs says:

    nooooooo the right choice would be angelina jolie *nod*

  69. egoist13 says:

    No-o-o-o-o-o! 🙁

  70. Happy21 says:

    No, no, no!!!!!!

    Blohan looks better with dark hair than that peroxided hay that’s been on her head as of late that’s all!!

    Not Elizabeth…no, no, no…please no…

  71. teehee says:

    She has just such a nasty, mean, ugly SCOWL. Perma-scowl. The only thign she is good at, is being her own mean faced self.

  72. Jag says:

    All I can say is that if this does go to production, the man playing the lead, and any who have to kiss her, better use every kind of protection so that they don’t catch something!

  73. stephanie says:

    ROTFL @ “And who will play Richard Burton? Wilmer Valderrama?”

    THat said, I forgot she ever looked this good. She looks cute styled like that.

  74. Petunia says:

    Boy, was Liz Taylor stunning, even as a middle aged woman.

    OoO crackmommy lohan is not going to like this….”Both had domineering stage mothers, little semblance of a real childhood”

  77. Miffits says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

    I haven’t read the article or other comments but that title. NO! NO! NO! Glad we’ve settled this.

    Yuck and just NO!

    Remember Phillipp Plein? Here is LL’s campaign for his clothing line.

    • Boo says:

      Just 4 pictures? I just watched the slideshow…not sure if there are more elsewhere. First, I bet Phil’s pissed that he got the Bad Teeth Lindsay. Second, the slogan “BE YOURSELF” should be changed to “SELL YOURSELF–to a guy with a fakey looking beard–for a few lines and some trashy-looking clothes.”

      The pic with her coming down the stairs with the 2 guys behind her (one being fakey beard guy) looks like they are hustling her somewhere to get paid…ughh. Every picture seems to tell a dirty, ugly story.

      • OhMyMy says:

        Agreed Boo. The white hair and the black eyebrows are just too much. Looks like he’s selling trashy hooker-wear with that ad campaign.

    • Madisyn says:

      I too just watched the slide show. Her teeth are horrible. The pic of her laying on fake beard boy is decent, the others, YUCK.

      I don’t think we have to worry about Blohan doing this flick. She doesn’t remotely resemble La Liz, doesn’t have a SAG card and is uninsurable. Rest easy, its NEVER GONNA HAPPEN! This is ‘Lohan Inc’s’ wishful thinking at best.

      The Cracken is not going to play one of worlds most beautiful woman looking like the drugged out skank she is. No worries people, NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!

  80. BerMan says:

    Before she ruin her body with toxins of drugs and alcohol she had a unique look about her and blossoming talent. There was a photo taken of her that I believe resembled a young Taylor. But this was way before she hit rock bottom. Maybe just the start of it…btw Ms. Taylor was a heavy drinker and smoker at one time. So Lohan did capture (to me) a moment in time of Ms. Taylor’s hay day. And I thought perhaps she could portray her in a film. But now…today.. I don’t think Lindsay has the raw natural earthy and body type that Ms. Taylor did have. *But I also did not agree in Anne Hathaway being cast as the cat woman in the Batman Film.

  81. Camille says:

    Terrible, terrible idea. I don’t know who would be worse to play La Liz, this crack head or Katface Kartrashian. *shudder*

    • skuddles says:

      Exactly! If either one of those moronic skanks were to portray Liz Taylor (or any other woman of valor) I think I’d have to board my shuttle and leave this planet for good. There’d be no coming back from that, ever.

  82. Katie says:

    What is it with these trashy Hollywood bitches obsessing and trying to be Elizabeth Taylor?!? First Kim K, now LiLo.

  83. Amanda G says:

    Elizabeth Taylor was one of the most beautiful women in the world. Lindsey does not even come close to that in the looks department. This will never happen!

  84. LA Native says:

    All I can say about this travesty is, it’s got to be a joke. The tabs have had a slow new year and need hits.

  85. Dani says:

    She is delusional. Liz Taylor was one of a kind and a superb actress which often got overlooked due her beauty. Go back and watch her films. She lit up the screen. This makes me ill.

  86. the original bellaluna says:

    No. Just. NO. *whew!* (Just escaped from the JayBey thread – yikes!)

    I will boycott Lifetime if they allow Crackie McCrackhead to play Dame Elizabeth.

    *scrolls back up to read the comments now*

    • Firecracker says:

      Hey Bell, what’s’ goin on over in the Bey thread? Not sure if I want to go look.

      • Lady D says:

        Hey Firecracker, long time no see 🙂 I have a question for you about cats. I have one who can only seem to drink from running water. I’ve had to dropper feed this cat water. I leave a tap running all the time now. Ever heard of this?

      • Firecracker says:

        Hey Lady D! That is strange. Is it a kitten or a stray? If it’s a stray, maybe their previous parent had one of those running water feeders? That’s the only thing I can think of…so it turns it’s nose up at the water dish?

        Edit: If you Google pet fountain, Amazon has some for $30, maybe that would solve your problem?

  87. the original bellaluna says:

    If the Cracken can’t play Linda-freakin’-Lovelace, she sure as hell can’t play Dame Elizabeth!

    Now, off to the ME!Ann thread! *adjusts body armour & mental faculties, heads off*

  88. crys737 says:

    NO! this is blasphemy, and an insult to her memory. She was the definition of class, and Lilo the definition of trash.

  89. artista says:

    Who is going to play Michael Jackson? If only Corey Haim was still kicking.

  90. UKHels says:

    in talks with who? her crack dealer??!!

  91. Firecracker says:

    Dina’s up to her old tricks again, spreading rumors about her beloved daughter!

  92. Firecracker says:

    TMZ’s reporting that Liho now has a tax lien against her of $93,700! L O L! She didn’t pay her 2009 taxes.

  93. anne says:

    What a disservice to Ms. Taylor

  94. ... says:

    There are only two actress who on-screen and off have captured me and of course this classless crackie has been chosen to portray women with such beauty, talent, grace and gentle spirits? First she was cast as Sharon Tate and now DAME Elizabeth? I’m so disgusted I cannot think straight.

  95. Beatriz says:

    Dear god this is disgusting, I hope this never happens, even if it only is a Lifetime movie.

  96. Lotr Dork says:

    Sacrilege. Sacrilege I say. Ms. Taylor is rolling in her grave right now.

  97. mimi says:

    no way does she even resemble elizabeth taylor. lohan looked decent in that pic but definitely not close to elizabeth in looks and especially talent!

  98. LittleDeadGrrl says:

    Omg another key difference … she could ACT. Every one of her movies that I’ve seen I was actually moved. I don’t care about her roller coaster personal life. I don’t care about Lohan’s either but she can’t act so just go away do porn.

  99. Tiffany says:

    The vast differences between Taylor and Lohan is that Dame Taylor owned up to her issues and made no apologies for them. There was a great quote from Liz that I always loved something along the lines of her lovers being her husband when she was deemed a harlot. You think Lohan can ever sit down and just be honest and unapologetic along with loyalty and have a dedication to something or someone. No. Never. There was just something special about Taylor, that bird was one of a kind. Lohan is forgettable, sad but true.

  100. Louise says:

    THe pics of her as Elizabeth look amazingly photoshopped. It’s like they stuck her face on someone else’s body. Are they freaking anyone else out?

    • polk8dot says:

      Yep, they are. And 100% agree on the Photoshop hatchet job.
      I think it is time for Hollyweid to stop it’s addiction to ‘shop, and to allow the natural women with natural imperfect beauty to set examples for the legions of young girls out there just clamoring at the door to adulthood.
      As it is now, they have their heads stuffed with such outrageous, artificial, unattainable ideals of beauty that – unless they have a good head on their shoulders – they are pretty much screwed from the get go.

  101. Jana says:

    She’s not fit to play a stand-in for Dame Liz’s feet in the movie.

    • Mari says:

      Not even a slave of Taylor’s Cleopatra!
      Can’t imagine delusional Lilo, just think of all Taylor classic movies, she is nowhere near.
      And freaky Friday and Mean Girls were teen movies, not “young adult”.
      Lohan never became a true young adult or adult decent actor. She peaked as a child and teen, after that it was all smoke as in crack smoke.

  102. HappyJoyJoy says:

    This bitch is delusional. The only thing I want to see Cracken perform in EVER AGAIN is a disappearance act. A PERMANENT ONE.

  103. HappyJoyJoy says:

    This bitch is delusional. The only thing I want to see Cracken perform in EVER AGAIN is a disappearance act. A PERMANENT ONE.

  104. Danielle says:

    The only way i would watch that movie,is if i have a mass amount of crack and extra pipes!

  105. Rio says:

    I never actually thought Elizabeth Taylor was beautiful (gimme Dorothy Lamour or Rita Hayworth any day) but Holy Hell, this would be the worst casting I can think of.

    On an unrelated note, the only Lifetime movies I was exposed to was in my “job training” course in HS (basically, how to fill out government forms and count change– I went to a ghetto school) and the teacher would show us Lifetime movies as an “examples of workplace bullying and sexual harassment”.

    • alexandra says:

      A ghetto school, Rio? Really where do you live the deep south circa 1950’s. You are a poor excuse of space

  106. Lynn says:

    You gotta be kidding me!! No way!

  107. Sara says:

    If she still looked like she did when that photo was taken then I could see it. Lilo has messed with her face so much though… I don’t think she could do it. This is going to be like the Lovelace and Gotti films.

    Lilo’s career has come down to only rumors of what parts she’d like to have. She doesn’t act anymore.

  108. nita says:

    lets think of it liz was kind of a bitch too stealing other people’s husband but ll rather take it on booze i think she just wants the attention but she took it too far its a good match but the voice F9

    • polk8dot says:

      Haaaagh???
      Wow, could you be any more inarticulate?
      Is this you, Lindsay ? – If so, time to put away that pipe…

  109. Lex says:

    I really hope she gets this role if only so that she will dye her hair dark again and get away from that nasty bleach blonde

  110. Mila says:

    This is so wrong.

  111. MacScore says:

    This is just making me cry. This cannot be for real.

  112. Meanchick says:

    In the name of all that is humane and holy, S T O P!! Next, the little itch-bay will want to play Cleopatra.

  113. Mediaone says:

    If you look at the actress Alexis Kiley who the family and friends of Elizabeth Taylor wanted you would agree she looks like Taylor all the way.
    Alexis Kiley never auditioned, and so I will not watch this tv film.
