Lindsay Lohan “was a colossal pain in the ass” on the ‘Anger Management’ set

TMZ has had several stories about Lindsay Lohan’s work on the set of Anger Management. It got to the point where I pretty much figured that Lindsay was calling them directly and announcing all of her spectacular feats of professionalism, like showing up on time and knowing her lines. A “source” told TMZ, “Lindsay knew her lines cold and her timing was perfect. She was really funny.” Lindsay was also described as “incredibly nice” and some idiot said her first day’s performance “proved she has talent. You watch her and you know why she became a star.” Well, that was the first day of work. For the second day, El Cracko made an appearance and it wasn’t pretty:

After two days of tardiness, it appears that Lindsay Lohan is at least going to make it to Brazil on time. The 26-year-old actress was spotted at LAX tonight to catch her flight—and we wonder if her ears were burning.

A source from the Anger Management set exclusively tells E! News that, by the time Lohan was done shooting her guest spot on Charlie Sheen’s FX comedy, the cast (Sheen included) and crew were thinking that hiring her wasn’t worth the aggravation, despite her considerable acting talent.

“She was a colossal pain in the ass,” the source says. “It’s a shame, because when she actually gets on camera she is good and has comedic timing. But she comes with so much luggage it’s not worth it.”

“The first day was fine,” notes the insider. “She showed up early and did her job.”

But, the source adds, “from the moment she arrived yesterday she did nothing but hold up the production. She would sit in her trailer and stall and she delayed until she up and left for her boyfriend’s concert…She held everyone hostage.”

At one point, the source adds, they were “so pissed they almost called police to escort her” off the set.

The feeling, however, apparently wasn’t mutual: Lindsay tweeted yesterday, “I just had such a wonderful day on set of #angermanagement with @charliesheen & @LIGHTAARON @SaveTheSociety @jazejazz7 and the entire crew!”

An insider from Lohan’s camp, meanwhile, refutes the accusations, claiming to E! News that Sheen was happy with the actress’ work and that any insinuations that Lohan deliberately held up the production were wholly untrue.

E! News first reported that, that Lohan—who arrived early on Monday—was on time to the set Tuesday but then ran behind for almost all of her scenes.

After originally only being scheduled to shoot Monday and Tuesday, Lohan had to return to the set to finish up today. She worked “a couple hours” and left, a source says.

A rep for Sheen, whose scenes with Lohan included a snuggly bedroom encounter, had no comment.

[From E! News]

Here’s the thing: while I totally enjoy hearing and reading stories of Lindsay’s crazy, unprofessional, crackheaded antics, at this point I have absolutely NO sympathy for anyone that hires her. I mean, cry me a river, dumbasses. What the hell did you think was going to happen when you hired someone who caused a cracktastrophe every single time she’s been able to beej her way into a job for the past SIX YEARS? Did you think, “Well, Charlie Sheen is pretty crackie but he shows up on time, so maybe Lindsay will too?” NO. That never happens.

And guess what? CRACK BUTT. Seriously, though, Lindsay crack-heisted some jewelry from the Anger Management set because OF COURSE SHE DID. E! News reports, “According to sources, Lohan also left the set with ‘bracelets’ from the wardrobe department. The reason behind that is not yet known.” El Cracko strikes again! How ever will The Crack Burglar be caught?!

Oh, and here’s the behind-the-scenes video of Lohan on the Anger Management set. I really think she just got this gig because Charlie loves everything about her. Think about it – she’s exactly his type. She looks like a busted 40-something hooker/p0rn star and she makes all of her payments in beejs. And she’s absolutely crazy and a total famewhore. She is Charlie’s perfect woman.

    Wow. I’m shocked.

  2. Victoria1 says:

    Hahahahahaha when’s the countdown for her death? Kracken Death Pool

    • booboocita says:

      At this point I no longer wonder if she’lll die young. I just hope it’s not in a car accident — and if it is, that she doesn’t take anyone with her.

    • MCraw says:

      Yknow, I know she’s an asshole and an idiot and every other thing the whole world agrees to when it comes to her. She’s a loser. But a laughing, gloating countdown to her death? That’s just sick. That’s Lohan low thinking. Just sayin.

    • Jazz Fabulous says:

      sorry, but as much as I hate Lohan, i don’t wish for her death. I just want her to go away and get better and do something meaningful with her life. Wishing death on a celebrity is stupid and laughable. It’s not as if she raped or dropped bombs on anyone. Why don’t you wish death on rapists, paedophiles, serial killers, terrorists, instead?

  3. RuddyZooKeeper says:

    Her face has devolved to the level of caricature. Like a Nixon Halloween mask. Good for frightening children or robbing a bank.

  4. Poink517 says:

    Surprise, surprise.

  5. lucy2 says:

    There are a dozen examples of her behaving like this, so yes, anyone who is dumb enough to hire her deserves the frustration. And thievery.

    I’m convinced Charlie just likes her around because she makes him feel better about himself. She’s THAT bad.

    • Miffy says:

      +1
      It’s like Sheen and his PR team sat down and consciously decided they had to source a massive trainwreck to draw attention from his tiger-blooded warlock ways. Who better than Lindsay Lohan, really?

    • Happymom says:

      I think you’re on to something here. He can feel superior and like he’s really got his act together in comparison.

  6. Sarcasmo says:

    Surprising absolutely no one, other than the dumbasses who choose to continue to work with her.

  7. marie says:

    haha, of course she was. does she know how to be anything else?

  8. Izzy says:

    I read somewhere that she was hung over and puking in the parking lot on her second day.

    You stay classy, McCracken.

  9. virginia5 says:

    wow, it must be too early in the morning for me. I read therapist as ‘the rapist’

  10. Miss_Magpie says:

    Did anyone else see the pictures of the Cracken arriving in São Paulo? She had something hand written facing the paps in several shots that I have not been able to read. I have it built up in my head as being some Crack manifesto (Or the Cracken version of Chuck Lorre’s screen caps.). If anyone has a link, please be kind enough to share!

    • iheartjacksparrow says:

      I haven’t been able enlarge the photos so as to read much of it. It does start out, “READ IT! READ IT! READ IT!” and then it reads, “Hello all,” but beyond that I can only make out on a few words here and there. I’ll keep trying!

  11. dcypher1 says:

    They just hired her cus of the publicity that comes
    With anything cracken. If the media didnt give
    Her so much attention no one would hire her for anything.
    They didnt hire her cus shes “talented”.

  12. JL says:

    She is now so irrelevant and boring that I chose to comment on Brittney Spears and Daniel Craig and others 1st.

    When you start slipping on Celeb-itchy posting importance, you are truly hitting bottom.

  13. Hakura says:

    “According to sources, Lohan also left the set with ‘bracelets’ from the wardrobe department. The reason behind that is not yet known

    Really? The reason behind Lindsay Lohan taking jewelry is ‘not yet known‘?

    • swack says:

      Read on another site that she was allowed to “borrow” it after taping (I think on Monday) to wear it out that night but was to return it the next day. It was also said that they did not know if AM gave the bracelet to her or not (think is was on E! where I read this – not sure).

  14. elceibeno08 says:

    El Cracko LOL. Was she this unprofessional before her downfall? I mean, she made a handful of movies and I never heard such bad stories about her.

    • Miss M says:

      Wasn’t during the shooting of “Georgia rule” the producer (I guess) wrote an open letter complaining about her?

    • Redheadwriter says:

      Yup. And when she was filming “Prairie Home Companion” she was hoovering coke all over Minneapolis/St. Paul.

  15. grabbyhands says:

    This cannot possibly be news to anyone.

    And I don’t feel sorry for anyone who hires this train wreck-that’s the price you pay for your attention grab stunt casting. You should probably just add a significant dollar amount to your budget to cover the inevitable stolen/destroyed items and cost overruns due to her being “sick”.

  16. MonicaQ says:

    Why you hiring this hot mess? Serious question: Was she ever a good actress? I was too old to watch ‘Herbie’ or ‘Parent Trap’ when they came out but did she have a lot of talent and blow it (see what I did there?) or just a little?

    Side story: When I worked at CompUSA, this chick that looked like Lindsay Lohan used to come into our store and try to steal TVs. Put it on a dolly and roll it out the store. And she’d start screaming, “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??” whenever we told her to leave the premises. I’m sure it’s not Lindsay because this chick was actually, you know, arrested and never heard from again.

  17. Green_Eyes says:

    You get what you pay for…anyone hiring this thievin cracked out fame whore knows they are hiring just that at this point. So why think once on set she’ll turn into a modern day Lucille Ball or Grace Kelly… Not gonna happen. You paid for the Crack fame whore..you get the crack fame whore

  18. Hautie says:

    Okay I saw this the other day… and it just cracked me up!

    http://theberry.com/2013/03/14/todays-celebrity-rundown-14-photos-46/celeb-rundown-12-86/

    When she reached over and boosted Shawn’s earring… I howled.

  19. ladybert62 says:

    Apparently, they are going to make a lifetime movie version of Jodi Arias and her murder trial etc.

    I nominate crackie for the Jodi Arias starring role – crackie is perfect: she is about the same age; she is crazy; she has spent many hours in court!

    What do the rest of you think?

  20. serena says:

    Everyone is laughing at her, what a tool. LOL
    But hey, Charlie Sheen, even as he is, he’s still better than her.

  21. KJ says:

    Y’all see her slumped down under a nightclub table in Brazil on TMZ? SMH so lost and I have virtually no sympathy for her

  22. Style Spy says:

    Her “hair” is comically long
    … and totally freaks me out – it’s nasty.

  23. Melons says:

    In other news, water is wet.

  24. Nicolette says:

    Is anyone surprised by this?

  25. Bess says:

    Another site is reporting that the Cracken took various clothing & jewelry items from the Anger Management set. Crackie is saying that she made a deal with the wardrobe person to deduct the stuff from her check.

    I hope the producers press charges.

  26. jwoolman says:

    I can’t figure out how she gets work and why they say she is talented and funny with perfect timing. I saw the rehearsal/behind the scenes video TMZ posted yesterday. She looked so awful, worn out and worn down, tired and lost. I’ve seen many episodes of Charlie’s old 2.5 Men, which had a constant stream of girlfriends bouncing out of his character’s bedroom – and every one of them was so much better than Lindsay on her best day: they easily beat her out in appearance, timing, acting ability, ability to say more than “OK” and “hello” without forgetting their lines, not looking like the undead, etc. I didn’t see anything in the video that inspired me to watch the show, she was so embarrassingly bad that watching the whole episode would be uncomfortable. (Felt the same way after seeing promos for Liz & Dick, she was so awkwardly amateurish). She comes off so badly just compared to all the actors around her, including bit players. Heck, even including non-speaking roles. So what are people like Charlie Sheen (who does have talent and timing, despite his personal problems) seeing that I’m not? I feel like I’m in the middle of the The Emperor Has No Clothes story.

    Even in her prime (which seemed to be at 17, she was in decline by 18), she never seemed spectacular to me. Maybe could have become an adequate actress for roles not too much of a stretch if she had stayed away from booze and other drugs, but she was just a run-of-the-mill kid actor who could have been easily replaced in her roles by other kid actors of equal or better skill. Are they bedazzled by her admitted ability to cry on cue or what? She did have that unique classic redhead look as a kid and teen, but that’s pretty much gone now. She always had a kind of throaty voice but now she sounds like she should be carrying an oxygen tank, I assume her heavy smoking habit hasn’t helped. She looks and sounds ill, which isn’t in the script.

    • Beatriz says:

      I always got the feeling Charlie sort of identifies himself with Lohan. Like, he remembers when he was her age, also a wreck, so he reaches out to her, tries to “help” her. I mean, he’s still an addict, but unlike Lohan, he’s a functioning addict. Also, you have to remember his family has a history of addiction, Martin Sheen is a recovered alcoholic, so is his brother. From what I can see, Charlie has the same compassionate view on addiction as his father, that is, always being understanding, giving second chances, etc. The big difference here is of course, that Lohan is a self-entitled narcissistic and a thief to boot, so I’m not sure they can get anything…”productive” out of hiring her.

      • jwoolman says:

        I wish Charlie would help her instead by giving her a raincheck, telling her to get completely sober and stay that way for a while and prove it with regular testing- then he’ll help her get roles. But they really should insist on a complete tox panel before and breathalyzer/urine tests during any time she’s on set, with another actress waiting in the wings if there’s a single fail. She’s almost always at least buzzed, so she probably thinks her acting is stellar. But she needs to try it sober sometime. And she really needs to prove it, she’s been on a ten year bender.

      • Beatriz says:

        @jwoolman : I completely agree. If you really want to help an addict you can’t enable their behavior and that’s exactly what Charlie is doing by giving her a job. However, Charlie himself is an addict and refuses to go to rehab, so I think that in his mind, he IS helping her.

  27. janie says:

    The photo of her under a table? She was filthy dirty. Check out her legs & shoes.. What a waste of a life.

  28. skuddles says:

    The most most believable version I’ve heard so far is that Hohan insisted on taking the stuff with her, the wardrobe person didn’t want to play cop and block her departure, so told her the value of the items would have to come off her cheque. Also, that the wardrobe person tried to get her to write a cheque right then and there but Hohan refused. Because money is for people who can hold a job fool!

    The “look, I drank myself under the table” pics are just too cute. Pardon.. kute. Klassy chicks totally rule!

  29. Kathryn says:

    Lindsay summed up right here: Lindsay Lohan wants to have all of the fame and put in none of the effort.
    She wants all of the glam but not work for it.
    She wants money for doing nothing.

    Trust me, there is no comeback to be found here, because Lindsay is content with partying, getting paid for “appearances”, and staying famous by getting pap’d constantly at her courtroom appearances.
    She is DONEEEEEEE
