Lindsay Lohan in denial that she's filming a Lifetime movie

SuniLindsay Lohan is extremely unhappy with the casting choices of the male actors who have auditioned for the role of Richard Burton in the Elizabeth Taylor Lifetime biopic, and filming is scheduled to begin in just a few weeks, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

As we previously reported, the decision to cast Lohan as the screen icon has drawn criticism from Rosie O'Donnell who recently said, "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."

Choices to play the role of Richard Burton have come down to Gossip Girl star Matthew Settle, Sean Maguire, and CSI hunk Craig Robert Young, but after watching the audition tapes last weekend, "Lindsay declared that none of the actors were the right fit and that she wanted to go to London to look for a possible Burton actor there," a production insider tells RadarOnline.com. "Lindsay is being an absolute nightmare about who should play Burton. She believes Matthew Settle is too old to play the role, and she wants a major A-list star to be her co-star. However, her salary for the role took up a major portion of the budget, and the Burton gig will likely only pay $200k, max. The producers don't need to get Lindsay's approval of who will play Richard Burton, but they want to keep her happy."
Making matters worse, is that filming is slated to begin in just a few short weeks, and they are no closer to signing an actor to play Burton.

"They are already in pre-production and it's very hard to conduct any rehearsals without the pivotal role of Richard Burton," the source says. "There is also cause for concern because Lindsay partied all night last week with Paris Hilton, Barron Hilton and Brandon Davis. All three, including Lindsay, have been arrested for DUI and/or drug charges previously. Lindsay shouldn't be out partying all night long, no good can come of that."

So will Lohan get her wish to jet across the pond to find her ideal Richard Burton? "Hell no!" The source says. "There just isn't any money in the budget, or time, to do so. The producers will try to land someone that Lindsay likes, but, if push comes to shove, they will just cast the role without her approval."

Which one is in one of the highest grossing series of all time, and which one has a failed career?

I'm starting to like you.
Your perpetual state of delusion is hugely entertaining.

lol the title
loganx2 22nd-May-2012 02:27 pm (UTC)
None of these actors are great choices for Burton, but it's Lifetime so you take what you can get. The fact they are giving Lohan a say in the casting is stupid.
thedpmiss 22nd-May-2012 02:27 pm (UTC)
It would be amazing if she played both parts.
goo82 22nd-May-2012 02:28 pm (UTC)
I am sure she has suggested it

luvthatdrtywata 22nd-May-2012 02:36 pm (UTC)
lifetime movies HAVE become emmy contenders though.
expromqueen 22nd-May-2012 02:47 pm (UTC)
anyone who thinks this movie has a shot at getting an emmy is delusional and needs to seek therapy lol
cherriesjubilei 22nd-May-2012 02:59 pm (UTC)

demented_21 22nd-May-2012 02:29 pm (UTC)
lol but in a way it'll be good for Linds if the male lead is totally lame, she'll come off looking better.
thedpmiss 22nd-May-2012 02:31 pm (UTC)
nope, he'll still be better
violue 22nd-May-2012 02:29 pm (UTC)

A nightmare and unhappy ? I dont think so.

Shes a professional. Nothing but malicious lies trying to bring down a successful female. SMH

That explains why she's constantly late to set and delays filming/forgets her lines ALL THE TIME.

No one has to make up stories about Lindsay to bring her down. She's already done that herself. It's also been years since she's been successful. Her major headlines are jail or DUI related.

Stay delusional
invisible_cunt 22nd-May-2012 03:31 pm (UTC)
lol plz
i know someone who was in mean girls with her and even then he said she was awful
ms_firecrotch 22nd-May-2012 04:03 pm (UTC)
lol keeping making shit up. she was nothing short of professional when she first started out, and everyone on set of mean girls was impressed with her work ethic. stop rumor mongering
xtinkerbellax 22nd-May-2012 02:30 pm (UTC)
200,000 for a Lifetime movie is pretty good, isn't it? I always assumed even the leads didn't get six figures. Still won't get anyone near A list though.
xtinkerbellax 22nd-May-2012 02:31 pm (UTC)
And I feel like whether she's a nightmare or angel on set, there are always going to be stories about "bad behavior".
2wiceasnice 22nd-May-2012 02:37 pm (UTC)
Cheap shots tbh

Get her dressed in a suit, style her hair in a bun and all the tabloids will claim she got sober and is back again.
expromqueen 22nd-May-2012 02:48 pm (UTC)
well, that's the consequence of being a total douchette for years and pissing off ppl in ur industry
xtinkerbellax 22nd-May-2012 02:56 pm (UTC)
Yea, but I just feel like if she were a guy it wouldn't be an issue and people wouldn't even bother bringing it up.
ms_firecrotch 22nd-May-2012 04:06 pm (UTC)
yup. it's what sells and what people want to read about, regardless if it's true or not

I have automatic, eternal loyalty to basically everyone from BoB/TP, so it makes me sad when they do bad things. :(
