Lindsay Lohan wants to work with Martin Scorsese

September 17th, 2008 by Scott Marks

At least I wouldn’t have to worry about picking up her underpants

Aside from the fact that she chain smokes like a gangster and refuses to wear panties when getting out of a limo, there’s another reason why I love Lindsay Lohan: she set her sights on Marty!

Lindsay is determined to be cast in Martin Scorsese’s next movie, and unless it’s a sequel to Kundun, I’m all for it. LiLo told Marie Claire magazine, “”I’m obsessed with working with Martin Scorsese.”

Can you blame her? I’d give anything to be in the same room with the guy. Marty, if you’re reading this (and I know you are), I’d be honored to play Jilly Rizzo to your Frank Sinatra. If you need someone to pick up your underpants or repair the holes in your walls that were made by pitched telephones, give me a holler.

“I still haven’t worked with some directors I want to work with,” she continued. Let’s see, Nancy Meyers, Mark Waters, Emilio Estevez, Robert Altman and Garry Marshall. I see a trend.

“I still have somewhere to go, which I think is a good thing, because if I’d done it all by now, I’d have nothing else to explore.” After Herbie Fully Loaded, there’s only one way to go.

Hey, kid, you’re no Sharon Stone. Do what you do best: smoke, get naked in magazines, explore your bi-curiosity, imitate Ann-Margret and save money on underwear.

Ann-Margret says “Bye, Bye Career” by agreeing to star opposite Lindsay Lohan and Jack Black

March 9th, 2008 by Scott Marks

Lindsay Lohan took time out from fleeing the paparazzi to announce how thrilled she is to get the chance to work opposite her idol Ann-Margret in the upcoming comedy Ye Olde Times.

What is Ann-Margret’s manager / hubby Roger Smith thinking? Didn’t the couple notice what the LiLo affiliation brought Jane Fonda? Not that Jane didn’t deserve Georgia Rule, particularly after her anything but triumphant return to the screen in Monster-In-Law.

Starpulse quotes the young actress, whose floundering career has been plagued by public disgrace and big screen hari-kari, as saying, “I’m part of a film that Jack Black is involved in that is starting around April, hopefully. We’re getting the cast together now. I can’t say too much. It’s a comedy. Ann-Margret is a part of it and I’m very excited.”

For years Ann-Margret has been making the rounds on TV or appearing in small roles in sub-standard features (Taxi, The Santa Clause 3). Honestly, she hasn’t been in anything to my liking since John Frankenheimer’s 52 Pick-Up (1986). Her latest project, written and directed by a first-timer, proves that Hollywood is sinking lower and lower in its quest not to run out of originality. The imdb plot outline for Ye Olde Times reads: ” Two rival Medieval shows vie for supremacy in the world of Renaissance Faires.”

This actually sounds like a project that even Will Ferrell would have refused. Only someone with Jack Black’s comedic pedigree could elevate this material by running around flailing, screaming, making funny faces and exposing his gut.

I actually like Ann-Margret and respect her for answering an adoring young actresses’ dreams by appearing with Lohan in a 2006 photoshoot. The similarities between the two women are striking, although to the best of my knowledge George Burns did not discover Ms. Lohan. Let go the vanity, Annie; don’t come out of semi-retirement and appear on screen in a clunker simply because some young chippie bears a resemblance. Chances are that in this case, flattery will get you nowhere.

Lohan names Kitten With a Whip as her favorite Ann-Margret picture. She must have missed Lookin’ to Get Out.

Ye Olde Times is in pre-production and will be unleashed sometime next year.
