Lindsay Lohan Playing Elizabeth Taylor In Lifetime Movie? Star In Talks
Cue the backlash in 3… 2… 1…
Most recently seen posing nude in a Marilyn Monroe-inspired Playboy shoot, Lindsay Lohan may be headed back to classic Hollywood to play Elizabeth Taylor. With her clothes on.
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that Lohan is in early talks to play Liz in a movie in a Lifetime movie that has been in the works since May. Taylor passed away in March.
Lohan has been in the news largely for her legal troubles the past few years; starting in 2007 with a misdemeanor DUI, she’s violated the terms of her probation on a number of occasions, leading to various jail stays, the most recent in November. She spent just 4 1/2 hours behind bars in her last stint due to overcrowding, and has been working court-mandated hours at a morgue and attending therapy.
Taylor, one of Hollywood’s most iconic actresses, is also set to be portrayed, at least in a round about way, by Angelina Jolie, who has long been committed to starring in a remake of Taylor and Richard Burton’s disastrous film “Cleopatra.” It was reported in June that Martin Scorsese had optioned the film rights to “Furious Love,” a book about Taylor and Burton’s storied and troubled love.

‘Glee’ Sets Michael Jackson Tribute Episode
Fox’s Glee is putting its lens on the King of Pop.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the musical dramedy will pay tribute to Michael Jackson with its Jan. 24 episode.
After paying tribute to pop icons Madonna, Britney Spears and Lady Gaga, the Jackson installment, as first reported by TV Guide, will feature 10 to 12 songs from the late singer’s music library.
STORY: ‘Glee’s’ Ryan Murphy Reveals Season 3 Secrets: There Will Be Only One Tribute Episode
Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy told reporters in October during a set visit to mark the show’s 300th musical performance that there would be one tribute episode this season — and that it has been in the works for two years.
While it was uncertain who the focus of the tribute episode was at the time, the showrunner told THR in June that he wasn’t sure whether the episode would be a supersized special similar to the show’s 90-minute Lady Gaga tribute, “Born This Way,” during Season 2.
“I have to talk to [Fox Broadcasting chairman] Peter Rice and [Fox Entertainment president] Kevin Reilly about that,” he said of supersizing the tribute episode. “It’s somebody who we’ve all been going after for two years begging them to do it and they finally said yes. And it was a really long rights struggle.”
STORY: ‘Glee’s’ 300 Musical Performances: By the Numbers
Glee‘s tribute episodes have had mixed results for the series, with its Spears offering in November 2010 scoring a series high at the time and besting the show’s Madonna effort, while its Gaga special didn’t fare as well, registering a season low in viewership and the key adults 18-49 demographic for the season to date.
The Jan. 24 episode, the series’ second after its return from holiday hiatus, will not be the first time Glee has tackled Jackson tunes. Jackson’s “Thriller” was featured during Glee‘s post-Super Bowl episode and tonight’s “Hold on to Sixteen” hour features the “Man in the Mirror,” the Jackson 5′s “ABC” and Janet Jackson’s “Control.”
Glee will air its Christmas episode on Dec. 13 before going on hiatus until Jan. 17.
