Lindsay Lohan will be allowed into Canada to work on ‘Liz & Dick’: WTF, Canada?

Lindsay Lohan

Here are some of the most unfortunate photos from Lindsay Lohan’s court appearance yesterday. In some, she looks like a 40-year-old escort on her 15th bust, and in some photos Lindsay just looks oddly strung out. Jesus, her lips are so crazy. Why does she do that to herself?

Anyway, as we were discussing yesterday, Lindsay was facing a lot of potential problems for the Lifetime movie Liz & Dick, which will be filmed in Canada. The problem? Lindsay is a cracked-out felon with multiple convictions, and Canadians don’t hand out work visas to crackheads. Except they do! Because according to TMZ/Mother Crackhead, “Lindsay has just been granted a Canadian work permit to film an upcoming Liz Taylor movie in Toronto.” According to TMZ’s sources, “Canadian officials have realized Lindsay has been receiving positive marks from the court and her probation officer … and signed off on the permit hours after she completed her community service requirements yesterday.” Can you imagine the poor Canadian bureaucrat who had to sign off on this mess? You know he’s sending out his résumé right now.

You know how I had concerns about whether this “Lifetime movie” was just some enormous crack hustle that probably didn’t even exist, because only Lindsay and her crack team of drunken sycophants were the ones “confirming” anything about the project? Well, TV Guide has an answer to my misgivings:

It looks like Lifetime will finally officially announce that Lindsay Lohan will star as Elizabeth Taylor in their upcoming movie, Liz and Dick.

Sources tell TV Guide Magazine that Lifetime has been waiting for the actress’s legal trouble to be wrapped up before confirming her casting. Lohan is scheduled to be in a Los Angeles courtroom today, where the judge will rule on whether or not she has fulfilled her probation requirements, including counseling and community service, stemming from a 2007 DUI arrest. (She also spent time in rehab and jail.) Expectations are that her formal probation will be terminated; a case alleging a hit and run incident that could have derailed her progress was dismissed on Monday.

Lohan’s team is confident. “Lindsay is scheduled to start filming the movie the first week of May in Vancouver,” says her spokesman Steve Honig.

Lohan, who has become known more for her troubles than for her talent, has been on a sort of a comeback tour recently, starting with her March 3 Saturday Night Live hosting gig, which drew mixed reviews but earned the show’s second-highest ratings of the season.

She’s also wrangled an upcoming guest spot on Glee, where she’s reportedly playing a judge at the show choir’s Nationals competition. Adds Honig: “She’s a fan of the show; they’re a fan of hers and decided it would be a great idea to have her on.”

Once again, I don’t understand who makes that call and where things went wrong in his or her life. Can you imagine the producer of Liz & Dick, sitting there watching THIS FACE on TMZ’s live feed and saying, “Yes! Finally, my Elizabeth Taylor!” Is everyone in Hollywood on drugs?

Also: LL celebrated her court victory by going to the Marmont, of course. Page Six reports that LL went to the Marmont with her sister (Ali) for lunch, and Samantha Ronson happened to be there. A “spy” told Page Six, “neither [Samantha nor Lindsay] made eye contact, and Ronson — who friends say recently broke up with her girlfriend, Erin Foster — left 10 minutes after the Lohans arrived.”

    So is it Vancouver or Toronto?

    Those aren’t even remotely near each other.

    Since it’s film, I’m assuming it is Vancouver, and that the “source” made up “Toronto,” as it is the only Canadian city they could remember/pronounce. Because Lindsay keeps smRt peepz in hr en2roj lik dat.

        Ugh. Canada pretty well lets anybody in. This is unreal.

        I, too, live in Vancouver. There should be a siren warning when she lands here, so we can make an emergency escape. Just yuck, yuck, yuck.

        Care to run away with me, @Hmmm when the time comes then? I thought they let everyone in Canada too but my co-worker is from New Zealand and came here in January; she said it was actually a pain in the butt and was really difficult to get a work visa for a year here and as far as I’m know her record is as clean as a whistle and is a total doll and a pleasure to be around… Unless she’s hiding something from me…

        It’s nearly impossible for non-Canadians with a record to get in. My hubby works for a huge Canadian entertainment company but even before would have to fill in concerts for another musician of a very famous band who had a DUI over 25 years ago. They won’t let that guy in ever.
        There is a ton of movie filming in Toronto, while we were there they were filming the remake of total recall but lots of tv too.
        I guess Hollywood can even make Canada accept the cracken. Amazing!

      There are lots of movies made it Toronto. Seriously, there was a time you could’t walk around town without tripping over Rene Zellwegger or Mark Walberg. They were both bitches.

      Also, let’s not forget Toronto is where Lindsey and Tina Fey filmed “Mean Girls”. That’s right, Vancouver, when has Tina Fey made a masterpiece in your town?

        Haha–I actually am working on a film in Toronto.

        But I always think that films are shot in Vancouver, and TV in TO. Not exclusively, but film-for-film, I’d say they get more of it.

        If you’re hanging in film/theatre circles in TO, doesn’t it seem like freaking everybody was involved in Mean Girls? Which is cool. But I don’t know anyone with a Lohan crack-story. I guess she wasn’t as high on crack and herself, back then.

        And yes, Mark Wahlberg, has a reputation for being a twat. Madonna too.

        But hands down, best ever “celeb” (I’m pushing the definition, here) story from me involves Joey Lawrence trying to get noticed in a bar muttering “whoah” under his breath, hoping someone will notice him and who he is. Best part is, everyone noticed, no one walked up.

        @ ‘Also, let’s not forget Toronto is where Lindsey and Tina Fey filmed “Mean Girls”. That’s right, Vancouver, when has Tina Fey made a masterpiece in your town? ‘

        Exactly the same number of times she made a ‘masterpiece’ in Toronto, or anywhere else for that matter. ZERO.

        She may write funny skits, she may produce funny 30 min sitcoms, but putting Tina Fey and ‘masterpiece’ in the same sentence is just ridiculous.
        And if you still think that LL will ever appear in a ‘masterpiece’, oh well…. Even if it starts out on that level, it will definitely become the exact opposite the moment LL is done with it.
        Whoa, you be funny, Mika, you be funny….

      Liz and Dick got engaged at the Barbarian which is in Toronto, so some filming will probably be done there.

      I just hope it’s not the day I have to take my daughter in to Toronto to go to Sick Kids. Last thing we need is a hit and run from Lilo.

      Yeah, I too thought that she was flying high during the proceedings.
      I accidentally ran her whole court appearance on FF, and it was hilarious – she had 3 facial/bodyli expressions that she was replaying over and over – in the same order, mind you – as if she were a computer stuck in a loop… F-ing funny.

This crack-ho has gotten more breaks in these past few years than anybody else would get in a lifetime. But, the stupid skank STILL can’t act, or sing, and I still can’t imagine her playing Elizabeth Taylor. Y’all think she’ll bother to learn her lines in this ‘blockbuster’? I mean, look how well she performed on SNL! (sarcasm ‘roll eyes’) She is, and always will be, a walking train wreck. Good luck, Canada……

    I wish her much success and best of luck because she had to learn her lesson one way or the other. The judge opened her eyes which is good because people need that at times to see their errors. Lindsay need to see her demons and she has.

    Just imagine how much worse all of those images would be if that awful, trashy, white hair was still “crowning” everything. Good that the hair is red but Lilo’s natural hair looks messed up. It also doesn’t look like there’s a lot of natural hair left. There’s even a strategically positioned piece of hair, that looks like a single extension, that’s taken from one side of the “part” over to the other side and secured in place with a bobby-pin, probably to cover a pink spot. On the other hand, her face does look less like a chipmunk.

    I always wondered what happened to her and Ronson. I’d seriously be freaked out if my ex rented the beach house next mine (psycho), but I do know that well after their break-up those two still hung out on the dl. Also, why didn’t she get a restraint order like her fam wanted after lohan went stalker on her ass. And then there was the sad, sad night when LL called UsWeekly to cry about how Sam abandoned her (before she rented the house next door to her) and ended up on one of the most cringeworthy cover of all times. Then suddenly LL never mentioned ronson again. I would love to know the details of their romance. They could make a movie and hire Lindsay to play herself, the crazy obsessive cracked out mess that she is.

    I’m dumbfounded. Firstly that the Lohan is allowed to forever tarnish Richard and Elizabeth’s memory.

    But most of all, wtf Glee people. I’d like to know what they are a fan of regarding Lindsay. She’s hardly got a massive body of work and has done nothing for years. Maybe they’re a fan of the way she keeps driving in to random people or the way she helps herself to jewellery, or could it be the falling out of night clubs high as a kite.

      Maybe this is recompense for some of the crazy stuff that happened in Let’s All Hate Toronto. Thems fightin’ words might have flipped the switch from ‘on guard’ to ‘en garde’ and the fact that the price of food has been climbing steadily for the last six months means I’m likely too malnourished to use my brain and violence for anything edifying.
