Just Like That, Donald Trump Is Now Lindsay Lohan's Biggest Fan

If you were hoping that Lifetime would put down the crack pipe (a Lohan family heirloom) and come to their senses by casting their queen Meredith Baxter-Birney as Elizabeth Taylor in their basic cable biopic, you wasted all your hopes on that shit. Because Lifetime made it official last night by announcing that Lindsay Lohan, who isn't even hot enough to play Rip Taylor in a movie, will take on the role of La Liz in Liz & Dick (which you shouldn't confuse with the title of LiLo's upcoming memoirs, Lez & Dick).

Lifetime's VP of Programming, Rob Sharenow, queefed out a press release to Deadline and in it he made it perfectly clear that his thoughts are powered by White Oprah's ass farts. Think of all the words you'd use to describe LiLo (examples: haggard, beat, whory, etc..) Well, Rob used the opposite of those words:

Lindsay Lohan is set to star as the legendary Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime Original Movie Liz & Dick, based on the true story of the screen icon’s historic romance with actor Richard Burton. Principal photography on the movie will begin in early June in Los Angeles, it was announced today by Rob Sharenow, Executive Vice President, Programming, of Lifetime Networks.

Regarding the announcement, Lohan said, “I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well. I am very honored to have been asked to play this role.”

“We are thrilled Lindsay will portray beloved Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor,” added Sharenow. “She is one of the rare actresses who possesses the talent, beauty and intrigue to capture the spirit of such a provocative icon.”

Many hos (including your memaw who will definitely call you up after watching this mess to ask, "Why did The Albino from Princess Bride play Elizabeth Taylor?") aren't happy about this and one of those hos is Rosie O'Donnell. Rosie O was one of the heads, along with Star Jones and Donny Deutsch, on the Today show's cerberus of terror this morning and she let it be known that she's turning her thumb down to this shit:

Rosie: I feel very sorry for her. I think she needs a lot of time away. She's had a lot of trouble doing every single movie including SNL. She was out and not in rehearsal. I think she's not in a place to work."

Star: I used to think she was extremely talented, but I have not seen enough of her as an actress in recent years to really make an evaluation.

Donnie: It's a great idea. She's our generation's Elizabeth Taylor. The only one-

Rosie: You're out of your mind! You're a crackhead! Get out of here! The last thing she did good she was 16! ......I don't think she's right for the role and I don't think she's capable at this point of doing what is needed to portray that character.

I know the story here should be that some of us need to take a group Silkwood Shower together since we've been tainted with the feeling of actually agreeing with Star and Rose, but the real story here is that Donny Douche hates Elizabeth Taylor as much as Lifetime does.

Sorry, I'm am a woman, and it takes more than "taking a bullet" to be Secret Service. I also believe that (with very few exceptions) a man will naturally be stronger physically than a woman. I'm tired of all the political correctness "Oh we're all equal, we're all the same" Well thank God we are not, life would be boring!
In addition, these women make me embarrassed to be one as well. The guy sits and patiently listens to their views and comments, but the second he gets his own out, and heaven forbid it's not the same view they hold, they jump down his throat and don't allow him to get another word out. That's classy ladies.
Even if they think he's wrong, let the guy speak, he was courteous enough to allow them time to speak. As for Lindsay, I don't have an opinion, I'll wait, watch the movie and decide if she was in a good place or not then. The girl is always having a few million people telling her what she's doing wrong, she trying to work again... to me that's a step in the right direction, at least it's not a club.

They're confusing Trump wanting to see Lohan be the next thing his trash ass fucked up sons kill in a canned hunt with "fan". Sure, he wants her head mounted on his wall, but not because he likes looking at her face.

This is a negative publicity project. People don't have to like it but if they watch anyway the producer wins.

If she had as much talent as she has gall she would already have an Oscar.

crankenstein - Liz wasn't talented????????? Have you ever seen her tour de force in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"???? Blohan will NEVER, EVER come close to the genius that is La Liz in that movie, she was fucking amazing, a one of a kind talent and AIDS humanitarian. The only charity Blohan works for is The United Crackwhores of America and The Association for the Advancement of Creepy Pedophiles (Terry Richardson is the Prez of that one).

omg Silkwood shower, so funny. I thought I was the only one who said that joke! Almost no one gets it!

Did you see the pic of her in a short, dark wig next to a pic of a young Liz. I was really surprised. She resembled her quite a bit. However, it's just a pic; whether she can act like La Liz is a whole other discussion.

The important thing is, this will be the first time Blohan is a spectacular trainwreck in a DARK wig. Maybe it will improve her range as an actress.

Because Trump hates Rosie so much, if Rosie criticizes Lohan, Trump becomes her #1 fan.

Thank you. I was quite befuddled.

Sick of this ho.

That is all.

Well I don't agree with any of you guys. I thought Lindsay Lohan had terrific talent as a teenager - and a kid. That she took a big misstep and got herself all twisted up in a lot of shit sucks, but I always thought she reminded me of La Liz. Liz wasn't that talented either. She was a boozer and a druggie - she began as a kid - was married nine billion times - and Rosie o'donnell is a cunt. PUre and simple with a big fucking mouth.

I worked with her and she was a nightmare. Nasty, and being a shit because she wanted to sleep with the producer who was straight. Talk about no talent. Glass houses fat stuff, glass houses.

It's Meredith Baxter, thanks very much. I'm surprised at you, Michael -- she came out not long ago and has been with her partner forever. That was some nice icing on the cake for me after Kristy McNichol and Sara Gilbert. Now, to make my '80s and '90s TV-crush lineup complete, I only need Markie Post and Nancy McKeon.

I'm glad Lifetime is giving Blohan this role. People will finally see that she has no fucking talent at all.

I have to say that this is the silver lining to this shit storm. How can anyone give her work with that scratchy voice (not whiskey nor sexy) and she really isnt that good of an actress (see Georgia Rule).

May I submit Paz de la Huerta for Rita Hayworth??? Just clap a wig on her and she's ready!

Raspy truckstop waitress voice and i hate the "so talented" refrain. She played twins decades ago and it didn't suck. Then mean girls was some light fare, hardly shakespearean thespian talent. Herbie movie? Freaky friday? Oh, the i know who killed me" movie was inadvertent satire. So awful. She has no talent. Who is she fucking to get any air time anymore?

Hehe. She would make a great Ann Margret in a remake of Clambake though!

I've seen it - hated it. And I don't understand why people say it's a great movie or that there is anything worth liking about it. It's like Grease all over again: mostly people from that generation would tell you it's any good.

I've never seen Mean Girls, but I scoped out the imdb. Every other actor who was in it has more imdb credits since Mean Girls than Lohan has. Tim fucking MEADOWS has had more work since Mean Girls than Blohan has.

Hate to say this, but Rosie was really good in today's panel...Unlike Donnie who came off as a dumb ass with this men are stronger bullshit. She was really spot on with a lot of things.

If you think about it, Lindsay is 26 years old playing a woman a lot older: 32 to 43 years old, the age Liz was during her Dick (Burton) phase.

Cat Scratch's picture

I am so proud of Rosie for speaking the minds of many.

It's an insult that Lifetime cast Lindsay purely on her tabloid fame. Elizabeth was legit, beloved actress before ever becoming infamous. She was a rule-breaker, a rebel, and she commanded respect Lindsay just feels entitled to, it's really shitty of Lifetime to trivialize her legacy like this.

Also, Elizabeth FUCKING HATED being called Liz.

Let's make a push to have KATE WINSLET play Elizabeth Taylor, she's wanted that role & Scorcese might do a FURIOUS LOVE MOVIE. Come on now, let's get with the BIG LEAGUES.

The only good movie she was ever in was Mean Girls...and let's be honest...Janis Ian, Gretchen Weiners and the boy who was almost too gay to function stole the show. Lindsay's character could have been played by anyone.

I never saw Lohan as being talented. She was cute and extremely overtrained, but not naturally talented. When I watch "Mean Girls" now, it's clear that she wasn't the shining star even though she was the lead. The movie was well written and she merely showed up.

She had that opportunity to be an "It Girl." She blew it. At her age and with her looks, she's not getting it back. Lifetime is Tori Spelling territory.

In a future world, North Korea turned the world into ash in three or four minutes. Afterwards, civilization (what was left of it) was not as enraged at the thought of a featherweight such as Lohan 'taking on' the role of playing Elizabeth Taylor. In 2012, this movie is a grade A fuckup waiting to happen but, in a post apocalyptic world, I might watch because there'll be nothing else going on.

lohan should go spend some time with rosie.. i guarantee you rosie could whip her a*s into shape.. the tough love that this chick needs.. break off communication with her parents too.. those two idiots don't have a brain between the two of them

Donny Deutch is a nimrod. I didn't care for any of his opinions on any of the topics discussed. Star & Rosie were absolutely spot on about Linds. Lindsey isn't in the right place yet for any job (not even flippin' burgers) and yeah, people will watch....getting as close to the tracks as they can, for the trainwreck about to happen.

i must have missed something because the only donald i saw was the douchey deutsch one not THE DONALD one. he must be smoking some of hohan's crap to call her a modern day elizabeth taylor.

Event Horizon's picture

Her performance on SNL was absolutely DREADFUL, she's out partying with her dad all hours of the night, multiple arrest, fading looks.....if she doesn't absolutely knock this role out of the ballpark, I see no more opportunities for her to become a legitimate actress and instead will be relegated to the next Carman Diaz taking bit roles in the next "disaster/teen/epic movie" monstrosity of a franchise...
