Some of you dismissed my earlier Lindsay Lohan post – you seemed to think that my “offensive” label was somehow too hysterical for what amounted to Lindsay Lohan playing Elizabeth Taylor in a movie-of-the-week. It’s true – this is for Lifetime, and it’s extremely budget. But even in the world of budget MOTWs, surely they could have found someone else to play Elizabeth Taylor? Someone less crackie, someone with some acting skills, someone who wasn’t going to flash her crack nips the first chance she got. Yes, these are even more photos of Lindsay filming Liz & Dick on that same boat in LA. And yes, Lindsay’s boobs fell out of her dress during filming. Repeatedly. Almost as if she knew the paparazzi were there, chronicling her every move? CB pixilated some of the nip-shots so you don’t have to worry about seeing anything that we haven’t seen a million times before.
Also, some of you were fighting me about the fact that she’s wearing a really busted wig. Apparently, TMZ got the “tip” that Lindsay had “reluctantly” cut and dyed her hair to look more like Elizabeth. Um… then why is Lindsay’s “hair” different lengths in different photos? She might have dyed her hair – in fact, she probably did – but she’s still wearing wigs and hairpieces. And they are really, really cheap.
In other Cracken news, Radar is reporting that Lindsay went to a party last week with her ex-girlfriend Courtenay Semel. LL and Semel dated back in 2006-07, before LL got with Samantha Ronson. Semel is a total sketchball, of course, and she tried to get famous from her association with LL, and she used to date Tila Tequila too. And now LL has let Semel back into her life. Because why not?

Why does the guy playing Richard Burton look old enough to be her father? Is that the right age difference?
Does it matter? We are talking about a Lifetime movie. lol
She may get the Lifetime Movie Achievement Award! LOL
No. Burton was only 6 years older than Taylor.
I can’t really see his face, so I can’t say if he is as old as Burton was at the time. But for the age difference… well, the producers must have thought that it did in fact look like a six years gap.
Also, how amazing is it that he’s giving the impression of much better acting than LL, and we can only see HIS BACK?! Lol, that is crackin’ me up!
18 years age difference
Because nobody else would do it with Lohan!
She looks like some cracked out Real Housewives of Orlando reject (no offense to Orlando).
I love it! Pretty sure you could drape Lindsey in couture and she’d still look like a streetwalker.
She wears couture all the time & looks like hell
She looks more like Snooki dressing for church than Elizabeth Taylor.
She looks nothing like la Liz…I’m sure her acting isn’t going to fool anyone into believing she is Liz. What a collosal waste of time this whole thing is. They should just donate the money it’s costing to make this “movie” to charity!
Oh, La Liz must be rolling over in her grave. She had a lust for life (and Richard Burton), but she also had class. Not the case with LiLo. At least it’s on Lifetime, so no one will see it.
It’s just a movie. Entertainment. Not that serious.
My exact thoughts….it’s just a tv movie and homegirl needs the check
i’m pretty sure that everyone’s going to see it. i’ve never seen anything on lifetime, but i’ll be PVRing or watching this train wreck online, FOR SURE!
Totally agree!
Yeah no. No need to disrespect a true lady. A messed up lady for sure bit a lady to the end. Would you want her to play your mom? Your grandma? Didn’t think so. Liz is that to people. And she is dead and cannot fight back… And she would have. Elizabeth and Richard is one of the truly tragic love stories of our time. And I for one would like to treat these great actors with respect.
Does anyone remember the straight to DVD biopic of Anna Nicole Smith starring Willa Ford? This reminds me of that.
And yes, I’ve seen it.
that double chin O_O
I’m mesmerized by the butt flap on that shirt :/
If they are going to do that Cleopatra scene where she’s entering Rome on that Sphinx”float”, Lilo better not be cracked out that day or she will take a header down those steps.
****waves**** Hey Brin! From what I’ve read, the budget is so tight sounds like that float is going to be made out of cardboard.
Then expect a big halt on production: No cardboard strong enough could hold Lilo’s drunken ass.
She will be in a cast getting her Jersey Shore on for the rest of the summer.
Their budget is so low, they will not even be able to afford building their own ‘float’ – cardboard or not.
What I’m sure we’ll see instead is the real shots taken from the real ‘Cleopatra’ movie, intermixed with the closeups of Crackie. They’ll digitally remaster the old scenes, superimpose Hohan’s face over the top of them, and voila!
Crackenatra is born!
(LMAO,,, ;))
They should have hired Megan Fox: she can’t act, her face is frozen, but at least she doesn’t look like a cheap addicted hooker in a vintage drag.
Here, here; I second that.
yeah but she looks like trashy trailer bimbo wannabe valley girl, so that’s not much better either. how about employing a real actress? and people should stop saying it’s just a lifetime movie, this is the first biopic of a world famous star, even hallmark has way better casting
It’s a Lifetime movie. Doubt if Fox is desperate enough to be in a Lifetime movie.
megan has been doing every commercial under the sun since she hasn’t had a job in a long while, and everything with her in it is a guaranteed flop, i’d say yes, she is desperate. that is how liho got where she is now, only difference is in their addcitions liho’s being substances while megan’s is plastic surgery
I don’t know why I laughed so much at the site of a pixeled rectangle covering LiLo’s nip so much……but I did.
I am still puzzled over how she got this role. She looks nothing like her. All the nip slip photos make her look like a coked out prostitute from the 1960s. Oh I get it: she is playing a younger version of herself.
I think you answered your own question with the words “coked out prostitute”. There is no other explanation for anyone hiring her.
She looks like she’s acting. Really hard.
HAHA! They look like stills of a high school production of Liz & Dick
Even in MY Community, the High School would have better props, scenes, and leading Actors then this LT Movie Nightmare..
God, those chins…she isn’t fit to play the 68 year old Elizabeth.
To the extent she looks anything like Liz at all, she looks like the late 70’s version of Liz, when she was really fat and married to that Senator from Virginia. Joan Rivers used to make fun of Liz for being fat all the time back then. She was an alcoholic who was the first celebrity to go to Betty Ford, and she really looked bad. Lindsay Lohan looks like THAT version of Liz, not the 60’s hottie who seduced Burton away from his wife and created a scandal so hot that the Vatican condemned it.
Oh, how the Internet would have loved Liz in her prime!
Can’t the wardrobe people corral those puppies?? Idk maybe they don’t care
there are many commendable things about liz taylor, but in terms of lilo being so below her, let’s remember that:
elizabeth taylor was a big advocate of plastic surgery, and overdid it at times.
elizabeth taylor was married 8 times – and these dramatic marriages were tabloid fodder long before TMZ/et al. existed.
elizabeth taylor was a drug addict and alcoholic.
i dare to say that if liz had been born in 1986, then she might have turned out exactly like lindsay.
ITA. She would be called a famewhore nowadays and never would have been considered a class-act had she been around now. Same w Marilyn Monroe.
Yep the Jolie/Pitt scandal has NOTHING of the several marriages Taylor’s affairs ruined. Her best friend’s, her own, Burton’s…
And the way she drove the budget of Cleopatra through the roof, essentially bankrupting the studio and putting people out of work with her extravagant demands for flowers, extra days, absences, daily stipends…. diva behaviour isn’t even the word for it.
And as you said, the insane amount of drug taking and drinking…
It makes casting seem kinda dead-on, if you thinnk about it.
It’s hardly the classiest story of its time. Don’t let the glamourous clothes fool ya.

i don’t think the best acting comes from leading a similarish life to the person you are portraying. charlize theron isn’t a serial killer yet she did an amazing job in monster. michelle williams is no marylin monroe etc. thats why its called acting.
Oh, I’m just musing here. Being a little tongue-in-cheek. Lack of talent is the reason she shouldn’t have any roles. But complaining that she’s not as “classy” as a young Taylor? Uhh…
I agree Zelda. Liz was a trainwreck of a human being but one of the best actresses of all time. For that reason and that reason alone LiLo has no business portraying her.
I agree.
However, the way Lilo is going at it, I am wondering if she would ever have the chance to redeem herself, and get back on the horse like Dame Taylor did after all that abuse: With shameless aplomb, that gave her back dignity and an aura of timeless class.
All Lilo has right now, is timeless crass.
Zelda. Liz Taylor was also a multiple academy award winner a humanitarian and known as the great beauty of her day. I think you were closer with the angelina comparison. Angie has a couple of marriages behind her. stole someone husband and was a wild child who partied a lot.She also has more strings to her bow like winning an academy award and being a longstanding Un ambassador.
So if we are looking for the modern day taylor i guess it would be angelina.
Gawd, she looks like hell. No way does she look remotely like Elizabeth Taylor. Worst choice Lifetime could of made. I definately won’t be watching this movie.
This movie is going to be one massive flustercluck!
This is why I love Michael K….
“If you took one of Elizabeth Taylor’s old headshots, soaked it in dirty meth pipe water, charred its edges on a hobo’s trash can fire, tore it into a dozen pieces and then pasted those pieces back together using homemade silly putty and black tar heroin, the image looking back at you would look more like Elizabeth Taylor than this picture of Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor does.”
They really want people to believe that is LL’s real hair? Please, I’ve seen better hair pieces at the dollar store.
No, just no!
The cracken strikes again, she actually thinks she’s getting a chance in Hollywood? This is a joke, I’m pretty sure Lifetime hired her to get some publicity for their crappy movies. How much did they pay her for this? Does she have to change clothes in the port-o-potty? It looks really budget.
This is going to be a f-king mess and I CAN’T WAIT.
I am TOTALLY watching this mess. It will be a classic crackfest with overacting and photoshopped nip-slips. At least in my mind…I think this will give us all good material to laugh at for at least ONE day after it airs.
Crack nipples won’t be the only thing featured in the film…
Dead eyes, always with the dead eyes.
Train wreck movie.
I love the frame with the “scrunchy faces”, or what I like to call “constipated fruit bat” face.
Awesome. I think I found my next avatar pic.
Is this movie a comedy/parody because she looks nothing like Liz. Who did she pay for this role? Terrible casting. Who is going to go see this? No one!
I suspect she gave many a beej
Again, I can’t understand why the media seems to be going bat shit crazy over this Lifetime movie. How many full length, big budget motion pictures get this much publicity during production?
The ones that are produced by Dina starring none other than her has been 50 year old looking 25 year old daughter that needs to just go away. I don’t believe lifetime is putting this stuff out there. They never have before. So, LILO is calling the paps and telling them where she is filming and when. She is doing this..not lifetime. One thing is for sure..this 25 year old 50 year old is a total train wreck that needs to just go away. I don’t think she is capable of getting it together. She has ruined her brain with drugs. Very sad..but IMO very true.
@really I don’t see it. LIz caught her men and evidently she bewitched them so much they just had to marry her. She was a a trophy wife for some rich and talented men. Lohan doesn’t ever seem to have a steady relationship,the only people she legitimately dated was sam ronson and wilmer and thats in 10 years. the rest is just unfounded rumors that either she or the person in question denies. which means its hook ups at the most. Liz also was a major movie star and had fantastic career and made studios a lot of money. Lohan makes gossip blogs and paparazzi lots of money. She hasn’t made studios money since she was a teenager. Liz actually was one of those rare child stars who became a fully fledged movie star as she grew older. they aren’t not comparable.
@ Really: Yes she was, but she was also one of the first celebrity (the first?) to speak against HIV discrimination.
She also was an amazing actress in her heydays and won two academy awards.
No way she can be compared with the cracken.
I don’t know why people keep saying, “Liz must be rolling in her grave”. Elizabeth Taylor had a wicked sense of humor, if any thing she’s laughing her ass off.
The sad thing is even if Firecrotch pulls this off in terms of acting her 40-a-day voice is going to be so off putting.
Elizabeth Taylor never had hair that long in her life except for the hair peices she keep in her closet like the black braided thingie she wear when she was married…
She keep her hair shoulder length or shorter and black ….that wig LiLo has on is cheap and way out of charactor. for liz…and the wig on the guy is awful its sticking up in back…
The dress way off by at least a decade or more… who ever pickouted the wardrobe doesn’t know a thing about what they wee doing…so far they have all been wrong…
I didn’t know this movie was going be a comedy parady !!!!!
I’m glad you wrote that Hillbilly cuz, I was thinking the same thing! Wonder if the movie would be eligible for “The Razzies”?
Cuz, that is the only statue Lilo is ever gonna hold……Hehehehe!
EXACTLY, hillbilly! I’ve seen a lot of pics of Liz and I have never seen her hair that long. And that dress is definitely off for the period in her life that they are suggesting.
She doesn’t look a thing like Elizabeth. But who am I kidding? I will definitely watch this train wreck!
Double chin, crack lips, boobs hanging out, stomach out.
UGH. Poor Elisabeth, I’m really sorry for her family hope they won’t watch this shame of a movie.
Wow ok! You don’t like Lindsey Lohan!
D%mn. I got it! Her wigs are different lengths because maybe she’s portraying Liz at different times in her life? DUH!
Ugh, she looks nothing like Liz.. she just looks some Krapdashian wannabe. That seals the deal – I will never be able to bring myself to watch this mess.
Me either. What a mess. LILO as Liz Taylor. It’s a joke. She looks so old and used up. Mama Lohan must be producing this. Who else would give her this role?? It just doesn’t make sense. Ugh she is just soooo used up. I can hardly stand to look at her
And harder still when you realize she’s portraying the great Liz Taylor… Liz was certainly no saint but her beauty and talent were immeasurable and indisputable, and she did so very many good and charitable things for her fellow man in her lifetime. Kind of a sick travesty that they’d hire the busted and bloated Lohan to play her – made for tv trash or not.
she. looks. horrible. from the wig to the weirdly shaped middle to her boobs looking deformed. just all wrong. ii can’t. just allll wrong.
I think Lifetime is counting on her usual crackie shennigans because alot of people are gonna watch just to see her make a fool of herself. She looks used like a old retro hooker. Ewww i wonder if she will do a Lifetime Marilyn Monroe movie:(
Hahahaha!
Anybody else notice the ad at the bottom of the 1st pic….”Woman is 57 but looks 27″ Shouldn’t that read Woman is 27 but looks 57?
I’m just sayin!
I most certainly did, you just beat me with your post!
She is just gross and mutilates the part. How could any director cast such a skanky girl as Lilo.
Chattin with Belle NOW!
I want to see this just for the comedy value. Hope they show it in the uk.
Maybe Lifetime will make it available online, at their website. 🙂
She’s reliving her last bar fight.
What’s with the budget club-rat extensions?
OMG She just looks horrible. It’s such a slam to Liz. I can’t believe they are letting LILO play the role. It’s sickening. And, that’s just looking at the pictures. I can’t even imagine what a mess of a movie this thing is going to be.
JJ has a pic with full(fake)breast flying out of her dress! Snooki indeed!
So sad that they chose this dirty crack bag to play Liz.
The preoccupation this country has with both “good,real actors”,versus “cheap, lack luster wana-bee’s”, will never stop to keep me being confused. LiLo, and her little nip,is not good looking,not sexy,or redeaming enough to be given the time of day! She will remain the skank that she has become,and is not worthy of portraying a great talent such as E.Taylor!!!
This just looks bad, between the cheap wigs (and her own hair), bad clothes and Cracken’s nipple slips it seems more like a really bad comedy. The people producing are probably high fiving each other everyone knows about the movie and it’s all because they cast Lindsay Lohan. I guess they don’t care it’s going to tank and get a bag full of razzies. Can’t really compere Liz to Lilo one was a real beauty with a great talent the other is neither. I can’t wait to see the plastic baubles they get out to try and recreate some of Liz’s amazing jewelry.
I can’t get over the hair!! When did Taylor ever have hair this long?? She always had shorter do’s. I knew this was going to be a mess, but I really thought they would do a better job in hair and makeup. Makeup can work wonders, transforming features, etc. It looks like Lifetime isn’t even trying. This just looks like LILO in a black wig.
I cannot wait for this. It’s going to be HORRIBLE. I’m already planning a drunken girls night.
Other than “WTF was Lifetime THINKING?” I don’t know what else to say.
I know they’re on a boat, but did Elizabeth ever have a wardrobe malfunction IRL?
YEEOW The real life Who’s afraid of Virginia Woof won’t need makeup for that scene in the movie
Of all the beautiful, talented actresses to play the iconic Liz Taylor, they chose that hot mess. What a disgrace.
Courtenay Semel was on that ridiculous reality show, Rich Kids: Cattle Drive with Kourtney Kardashian and that Brittny Gastineau girl. It had more illiterately spelled christian names than talent. Speaking of which, you should see all the red lines in this reply box these names flag for spelling mistakes. If only their parents had this when they filled out the birth certificates.
