Gossip: Lindsay Lohan
Lohan will no longer portray Linda Lovelace in an upcoming biopic of the Deep Throat star.
Lindsay Lohan is out of a planned biopic of porn star Linda Lovelace, said E! Online. The film had been on hold while Lohan, cast to play the Deep Throat star back in April, completed her latest round of court battles and rehab stints. But film director Matthew Wilder said this week he dumped Lohan for several reasons, including “the impossibility of insuring her” for the film. Lohan claims the decision was mutual. “Lindsay is dedicated to her recovery, and together they decided to move on without her,” said her publicist.
