Lindsay Lohan is famous for many things. She’s famous for being skinny, for crashing cars, for taking her clothes off for the cover of a magazine, for having a lousy pop career… but acting?
Believe it or not, Lindsay Lohan is actually a real, grown up actor. And by God, does she want to prove it. She’s just signed up for a low-budget ensemble flick about the assassination of Bobby Kennedy.
Lindsay Lohan (DVDs) is the latest name to join the cast of Bobby, a
low-budget indie movie chronicling the hours leading up to the
assassination of Bobby Kennedy in 1968, written and to be directed by
Emilio Estevez.
Lindsay Lohan might have signed up for Bobby because she wants to
test herself as an actor by starring in something that doesn’t involve
the hilarious exploits of a magic car. Or it might be because she’ll be
able to scream and cry in it, and nothing says "Oscar" more than
screaming and crying in a po-faced low-budget indie movie. Who knows?
Lohan is the latest big name to join Bobby, which begins filming
next week. It will also feature performances by Anthony Hopkins, Demi
Moore, Sharon Stone, Elijah Wood, Nick Cannon and Freddy Rodriguez.
Emilio Estevez will also have a role in the film.
Bobby is the latest attempt by Lindsay Lohan to stamp her name as a
serious grown-up actor. She’s also just finished filming A Prairie Home
Companion, directed by the Daddy of serious grown-up films Robert
Altman. Unfortunately for Lohan, A Prairie Home Companion is all about
a teenage girl who helps out her poor but loving family by getting
inside a hilarious magic car, swapping her body with her Mum and
meeting her long-lost twin for all kinds of zany adventures.

I think Lohan always was a good little actress. She always seemed a bit different to the other teen wannabes. Her fresh young face and ample bosom was much appreciated by me during her ‘Freaky Friday’/’Mean Girls’ days.
But God, what happened to her? It seems one visit from Jordan’s stylist later and she’s perma-tanned and bleached-blonded to the hilt, not to mention her lollypop figure.
I just hope with these new Indie films she’s going back to her curvy (and redhead) roots.

MUM? DO U HAVE WOOD FOR TEETH? AND IF THIS IS ALL A JOKE, THEN UHH WHA?? IS SHE REALLY PLAYING IN A NEW MOVIE OR NOT? I WANNA C I KNOW WHO KILLED ME. LET ME GUESS, DOES SHE SWITCH BODIES WITH HER MUM IN THIS ONE? AND NO ONE KNOES WHO KILLED KENNEDY? SO WHATS THE POINT OF THE MOVIE? MAYB SHE DOES WANNA GROW UP AND B TAKEN SERIOUSLY, AND SHE IS TAKING THE HARD WAY BY PARTYING AND EVERYTHING, BUT PROFESSION TAKES TIME. PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. SO STOP HATING, HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU GET WRITING ABOUT CELEBS? I WOULD GUESS NOT ALOT…
