Liz and Dick

DON’T OVERANALYZE: “LIZ AND DICK” ISN’T SHAKESPEARE – BUT IT’S A FUN RIDE

#lizanddick #janetcharlton

Far too much effort is being put into criticizing Lindsay Lohan’s performance in Lifetime’s “Liz & Dick.” For heaven’s sake, this is LIFETIME, not a Harvey Weinstein production. It was intended to entertain, and it did. The 1960’s locations and costumes and story were fun and colorful and reasonably appropriate. Although Lindsay’s “accent” sounded more “valley girl” than English born Liz’s, we had low expectations. Liz’s legendary weight struggles were totally ignored for some reason. Grant Bowler sounded enough like Richard Burton to get by. After all, it was simply the story of two famous self-absorbed alcoholics, not the greatest love story ever told. Certainly, it did little to enhance Lindsay’s acting reputation, but did no harm either. In spite of flaws, we enjoyed watching the movie and were quite entertained. Pass the popcorn. Admit it, weren’t you entertained too?

Car Crash Liar, Liar! Lindsay Lohan Liz and Dick Porsche

LINDSAY LOHAN ATTEMPTS TO LIE HER WAY OUT OF YET ANOTHER SITUATION

#indsaylohan #porsche #janetcharlton

We must admit we dislike liars. We have an aversion to sources who don’t tell the whole truth, and even other gossip sites that deliberately misinform. So naturally we have little sympathy for habitual liars like Lindsay Lohan. Can she NEVER take responsibility for her actions? In this recent accident where her Porsche crashed into the back of a truck, she insisted the truck cut her off and it was HIS fault. The truck driver pointed out that he was totally in his lane when she struck him. (Other sources said Lindsay was driving VERY fast.) He went on to say that after the accident the Porsche driver (Lindsay) was hustled into an Escalade following her (driven by Lifetime people,) along with a mysterious “package.” He didn’t know who she was when her people offered him money to shut him up. He turned them down, having called 911. Now Lindsay is claiming that her BRAKES FAILED. On top of it she had her publicist try to make her look like a hero by announcing that Lindsay “insisted” on returning to work – even with her “cuts and bruises.” As a human being, Lindsay doesn’t have much to offer…

Elizabeth Taylor Hair! Lindsay Lohan Liz and Dick

NOTE TO LINDSAY LOHAN: ELIZABETH TAYLOR DIDN’T WEAR HAIR EXTENSIONS!

#lindsaylohan #elizabethtaylor #janetcharlton

Much fuss has been made about the rumor that Lindsay Lohan is such a devoted actress that she has supposedly cut and dyed her hair to look like Elizabeth Taylor in “Liz and Dick.” Far from it. Yes, she was photographed in a chin length bob done up as Liz (top photo.) But after that photo was released she was out on the town clubbing with her usual long hair – darker, but still long. In yesterday’s swimsuit pic in character as Liz, her hair is longer than Liz’s ever was in her life! Has Lindsay convinced producers to let her retain her own long hair instead of wearing it short like Liz really did? Lohan probably didn’t think Liz’s super short hair was sexy or flattering. We wouldn’t be surprised if producers let her have her way- the heck with accuracy. (It looks like Lindsay is wearing a vintage Catalina swimsuit.)

Elizabeth Taylor Lifetime Lindsay Lohan Liz and Dick

LINDSAY LOHAN WANTS AN A-LIST LEADING MAN FOR “LIZ AND DICK”

What’s a girl to do? Lindsay Lohan is convinced that playing Elizabeth Taylor in Lifetime’s movie “Liz and Dick” is extremely important to boost her career so she’s heavily involved in the production. According to RadarOnline, she’s not happy with any of the actors who read for the role of Richard Burton because they’re not big names. She even had the nerve to suggest to producers that they send HER to London to scout for an A-list costar. Ironically it’s Lindsay’s big salary that ate up the budget and they can only afford to pay around $200,000 max for her leading man. That means Colin Farrell is OUT. Producers aren’t sending her to London, but they want to keep her happy. The pressure is mounting because they start filming in a few weeks and need her costar to rehearse.(Above, Lindsay and young Elizabeth, below Elizabeth and Richard Burton)

Elizabeth Taylor Lindsay Lohan Liz and Dick Photo Play Photoshop?

SUDDENLY LINDSAY LOHAN IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE LIZ TAYLOR

All of a sudden we’re starting to think that maybe Lindsay Lohan CAN be a convincing Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie “Liz and Dick.” This doctored up photo makes it all seem plausible. Lindsay will certainly be convincing in the later years of the romance with Richard Burton when Liz was a big drinker, but can she pull off the Cleopatra glamour years? Time will tell…

Elizabeth Taylor Interview Lindsay Lohan Liz and Dick

HERE’S LINDSAY LOHAN DONE UP TO LOOK LIKE ELIZABETH TAYLOR

Imagine that! We’d forgotten that Lindsay Lohan had already done a photographic take-off on Elizabeth Taylor early in her career. She appeared on the cover of Interview magazine in 2006 made up to look like iconic Liz and we’re pretty sure she used this to impress producers of her upcoming Lifetime movie Liz and Dick.

Elizabeth Taylor Insurance Lifetime Lindsay Lohan Liz and Dick Rosie O'Donnell

ROSIE O’DONNELL IS RIGHT – LINDSAY LOHAN HAS YET TO PROVE SHE’S BETTER AT ACTING THAN SHOPLIFTING

We never thought we’d say this, but we are in total agreement with Rosie O’Donnell in her opinion of Lindsay Lohan. Rosie isn’t the only one sick and tired of hearing people mindlessly parrot the statement the Lindsay has problems “but she IS a good actress.” Rosie ranted on the Today show that Lindsay hasn’t really done any decent acting since she was sixteen in “Mean Girls.” (Except in courtrooms.) And child stars DON’T necessarily grow up to be brilliant actors. She has YET to prove herself. Lindsay was hired for the Liz Taylor role in Lifetime’s “Liz and Dick” because she brings so much attention and publicity to the production – NOT because she’s a great actress, or remotely resembles Liz. The nervous producer says she’s “the most insured actress EVER” and admits they’re moving the location from Canada to Los Angeles to increase the odds that Lindsay will show up for work.
