Report: Lindsay Lohan Lands Elizabeth Taylor Role In Biopic

February 21, 2012 by Hollywoodite

It’s claimed that Lindsay Lohan landed the titular role in the Lifetime Elizabeth Taylor television biopic, Liz and Dick, for which she’s been shilling, hard, in her mind, by wearing a tee with Taylor’s face and posing with a book about Taylor’s love life.

Lohan has been on one, long convoluted shill that started during her last progress report; she or her pimp momager leaked to TMZ.com that she’d rush probation just to be available for the Spring start date. And it seems to have worked.

In a week where Lohan got a hosting job on Saturday Night Live by picking up the phone and asking the executive producer herself, it’s claimed Lohan landed the role from which Megan Fox has since distanced herself.

Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush is claiming the exclusive on this, so who knows how credible is the information. It’s quite possibly a planted piece to make Lohan sound like the front-runner, following assertions by the executive producer that Lohan was simply one of many under consideration. But, according to the report, Lohan HAS landed the role with the caveat that she stay out of legal trouble lest she devolve and lose the role and the faith of producers as she did during Inferno pre-production in 2010.

In related news, Lohan’s mother, Dina Lohan, will appear on a sit-down interview with Dr Drew for HLN Tuesday night at 9/8c.
