Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson were out yesterday to celebrate Sam’s 31st B-day. Per usual Lindsay treated the special day as another opportunity to make her way back on to the front page of the tabloids by wearing an obviously nipple exposing black tank top. As it goes right now this single image is the only evidence we have of Lohan’s blatant lack of self respect but we’re sure there will be plenty more tomorrow.
How exactly do you think this girl decides on an outfit in the morning? Do you think it’s and eeny meeny miny moe type deal, or do you think there’s an actual debate: “Should I wear the nipple-exposing black shirt with the Proda bag, or the easily-lifted-up green dress without the panties? It’s a special occasion so I’ll just throw on my trampy-transparent-tank-top and my I-feel-like-cutting-myself wrist band, just incase I get the urge to purge.”
You might be too busy to notice because your checking your mail every few minutes to see if Bush’s see republicans arn’t that bad economic stimulus check has arrived, wrapping yellow ribbons around the old oak tree (God speed gentlemen), and building a bomb shelter in anticipation of the next natural disaster, but right now we’re in the middle of the BIGGEST ONLINE DANCE BATTLE…EVER!!!
Since I know I just blew your mind, I’ll give you a quick run down of the events that have transpired thus far so you don’t have to turn on CNN:
April 10th 2008:Using references of Thunder Cats, Uncle Buck and Full House, Jon Chu, the director of Step Up 2: The Streets, and Adam G. Sevani, one of the stars in Step Up 2, challenged Miley Cirus and Mandy Jiroux of the hit Youtube webcam production, M&M, to an online battle against their own group of online dancers called ACDC… Reason:publicityUnknown. Dun Dun Dunnnnn…
April 30th 2008: Jon and Adam enlisted the help of stars like Amanda Bynes, Adam Sandler, Chris Brown,Lindsay Lohan, and Briana Evigan (that hot chick from Step Up 2) to help put together the greatest YouTube dance off video since the digital mix mastery of The UrklevsThe Carlton (its a real clip).
Which brings us to yesterday, May 22nd 2008: Miley continues her online beef with ACDC, goes McCain and promises the battle will end June 10th with the release of her next Youtube response. But not before she calls out names and searches for Lindsay on stage at her concert to publicly confront her for her appearance on ACDC’s beef blog…
Miley says:
“At first we had them in the palm of our hand but they just put out this new video that pretty much squashed us like bigs, like they were really good. I believe Ms Lindsay Lohan is out here somewhere, I’m not sure where but she was in that video.[Miley searches the stage for Lindsay] Where is she at? Cuz um… She bailed because she’s scared of our next video because we’re going to absolutely kill them. Her and Britney Snow and basically everyone in their video but uh, what they didn’t have was about 20,000 people”
I don’t know about you but I’m dumping my stock in soy beans, stocking up on bottled water, and punching my 7th grade English teacher who sentenced me to 3 months of summer school in the face (he’s the last person on my “People’s Noses To Break Before I Die” list) because I think this BLAR (Blog + War) could… Get… UGLY!
While most of American was left with their tongues hanging out and an overwhelming shortage of tissues, Lindsay’s parents, as you would hope to expect, had a much different reaction to their daughter’s nude pictorial.
First to comment on LL’s remake of MM’s “Last Sitting” photoshoot was mama Lohan, Dina:
“It was very tastefully done. I respect the photographer as an artist, so I look at them artistically. For him to call Lindsay 46 years later and to say can you recreate these photos is an honor. I looked at it as art, and as Lindsay doing a character. So I don’t look at them like it’s Playboy; she was being a character. So if you look at it that way, you can look at it as a mother. Trust me, I wouldn’t have sent my 14-year-old to the set [if the shoot was in bad taste]. And obviously Lindsay wouldn’t do anything with her sister there, that was risqué. Lindsay was very excited when she first got the phone call. Of course we talked about how they would be done. Lindsay said, ’Mommy, I’m never going to get this opportunity to do it again.’ She was very thankful she was asked. She’s always loved Marilyn,” Dina says. “For Christmas, my girlfriends even gave her a Marilyn cookie jar. I think there’s a sadness that Lindsay feels for Marilyn. Lindsay really saw it as a gift back to someone. Lindsay did 250 crunches before because she was nervous since she had never done anything like that before.”
Then daddy Lohan gave his reactions via telephone to People magazine:
“I’m not going to look at the photos — that’s my daughter! Lindsay is an adult, and she knows the direction she wants to take her career,” he said. “It’s her decision. The fact that the photographer [Bert Stern] who did Marilyn Monroe’s pictures would ask Lindsay to re-create them… that’s an amazing thing. I pray there are no parallels to her and Marilyn Monroe’s destiny.” (Monroe died of an overdose of barbiturates at the age of 36.)
In her New York interview, the actress said she had no plan to end up like Monroe or late actor Heath Ledger. “I’m not them … I sure as hell wouldn’t let it happen to me,” she told the magazine.
“I love what [WWE] does for children, and I think what WWE does is amazing,” she said, after a photo with a smiling Eliot. “I love being with children and giving back as much as I can.”
For the 21 year-old’s first ever topless photoshoot in which she ironically recreates Marilyn Monroe’s last nude photoshoot, New York Magazine recruited the help of famed photographer Bert Stern who was the original photographer in Marilyn’s shoot.
Jealous of Britney stealing all the good tabloid covers, it wasn’t hard to convince Lohan into shedding her clothes for this monumental shoot: “I didn’t have to put much thought into it. I mean, Bert Stern? Doing a Marilyn shoot? When is that ever going to come up? It’s really an honor.” She then tells NY how obsessed she is of the 60’s icon, saying “If you saw my house … I have a lot of Marilyn stuff.”
On Tuesday, February 5, under the cloak of secrecy, Lindsay Lohan went to the Hotel Bel-Air to meet photographer Bert Stern and restage the legendary series of photographs Stern had taken of Marilyn Monroe in 1962, six weeks before her death—a portfolio of pictures known as “The Last Sitting.”
How did it come about? Stern had decided that Lohan was the perfect actress for this project, and when he asked us if we might be interested in working with him on it, we were, naturally, more than enthusiastic. So was Lohan—the 21-year-old happens to be a Monroe fanatic (you can read more about her in Amanda Fortini’s story)—still, we sent her Stern’s book so she could study up on the shoot. That morning, Lohan arrived (ten minutes early, actually).
Hair and makeup took two hours; there were three wig changes to get precisely the right shape and shade of platinum. Stern duplicated the original 1962 set, down to the lighting. Lohan was unafraid of some of the eerier parallels between herself and Monroe, and she embraced every aspect of the shoot. She knew that Monroe had worn little more than a chiffon scarf, and she came with the same spirit.
Seven hours and hundreds of frames later, the pictures were made. Photographer and star were satisfied, and photo director Jody Quon flew home, just a little stunned that it had happened at all. Source

10 Images from Marilyn’s Original Nude Shoot After the Jump…
I know its been a little hard for you Li-lo addicts lately because Britney’s “still not sane” posts and “guess who also got knocked up” posts have been clogging up all the good blogs so I thought I’d mixed things up with some new Lindsay Lohan quotes from her interview with Glamour UK magazines April 2008 issue:
On her past Hollywood party partners:
“There are friends that have been hard to hang out with because they’ve gone done a different path,” “But it’s hard because I’m the kind of person who wants to trust everyone.”
On her addiction to clubbing:
“I’m fine being alone during the day, but I hate being alone at night. I like having friends around me, but now I’d much rather be at home,” “That’s not to say I’ll never go to a club again,” “because I’d be lying.”
On the public’s misconceptions about her:
“that I don’t have my head in the right place. That, and probably that I’m not a good person … because actually I am.”
On avoiding the temptations of Hollywood:
“I don’t think it’s just young Hollywood - it’s the process of growing up. I’ve learned the hard way but, all in all, you learn and you grow and you become a stronger person.”
On meeting three different men in Capri:
“If I’d been with every man I’ve been linked with I’d probably be dead by now! Generally speaking, my friends are much worse - I’m the goody-goody one by comparison. I’ve had to grow up fast. I’ve had a lot of responsibility from a young age.”
On Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse:
“I think lots of people go through dark times, but it’s even harder with everyone watching. It’s a lot of pressure and I really feel for them, but I can’t compare myself to them. Everyone is their own person and they will overcome it in their own ways.”
