Lindsay Lohan is an Effing Genius

lohan070809_1.jpgLindsay Lohan was this close to a huge career comeback. She reportedly turned down Heather Graham's role as "Jade" the stripper in The Hangover because she thought it had "no potential." DOHHH!

A source tells Us that director Todd Phillips approached Lohan to star in the hit flick — which has raked in $205 million so far — after their mutual agent campaigned on the actress’ behalf.

"The agent tried hard to get Phillips to consider her," says the source, "and when he finally agreed, Lindsay said she didn't like the script!" (Source)

You have to admit, Lindsay Lohan is more believable as a stripper than Heather Graham, but less believable as a stripper who you would actually leave your fiancee for.* At any rate, to be fair to Lindsay, I can see why she turned it down. I personally wouldn't want any part of a legitimate movie that would seriously consider Lindsay Lohan for a supporting role either.

Wow, way to throw in a totally unnecessary spoiler. Not all of us have been able to see the movie yet, especially those of us who live in Europe. I have been pretty over this site for a while but would check in every once in a while because I like Pajiba. This is it for me though. Good luck keeping readers when you act like a totally thoughtless ass...

Oh! Come on!
Isn't that the end of EVERY single movie of this kind??

If you think it might have a twist at the end, you should reconsider your movie taste.

Actually, I didn't say which one of the guys leaves his fiancee for a stripper, so it's not a total spoiler alert. And I think it was kind of a necessary spoiler, given the context.

But if you're "over" this site anyway, by all means, don't let me stop the door from hitting your ass on the way out, complainer.

Hey, lame poster number 1.

What do you think streaming was invented for?

I'm in England and it's the dude with the glasses.

Suck on that, babe.
