Yesterday, we covered The Firing of The Blohan - Lindsay Lohan was apparently booted off of Inferno, the Linda Lovelace biopic. According to Inferno’s director Matthew Wilder, the whole thing went down because he (finally) came to conclusion that Lindsay is an uninsurable nightmare crackhead, and he wanted to go in a different direction. Note: Camp Blohan is trying to spin this is in a “I didn‘t get fired, I totally quit” way. A source told Radar, “Lindsay has realized that in order to get her life and career back on track, she has to be very selective with her projects. She wants to pursue projects like the ones that made her successful. She also realizes that she doesn’t need to identify with roles that relate to issues she dealt with. Everyone on her treatment team has stressed that.” I don’t really see how this is Lindsay’s choice when no one wants to insure her, you know? So that a big fat “whatevs Lindsay.”Anyhoodle, Radar is trying to steal E! News thunder and announce Lindsay’s replacement - Malin Akerman:
Director Matthew Wilder has wasted no time in replacing Lindsay Lohan as the star of his upcoming Inferno, RadarOnline.com has learned.
He’s brought in superhot Malin Akerman to star in the Linda Lovelace biopic, Deadline Hollywood is reporting.
Malin, who shot to fame in the Vince Vaughn comedy Couples Retreat, is now costarring with Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd in Wanderlust, shooting in New York.
RadarOnline.com was the first to reveal that Wilder was backing away from his long support of the troubled Lohan to star in his movie. On Wednesday he told us he had a “Plan B” in place. And yesterday, Wilder told us it was a done deal. “We’ve fired Lindsay,” he said, revealing that “we’ve already lined up somebody else who we are really happy with.”
Lindsay’s camp is insisting she wasn’t fired, it was her decision to pull out of the film. Either way, Akerman is a great “get” for Wilder and moves the project up several notches. There’s no word yet on when they’ll start shooting.
Lindsay is set to complete her court-ordered treatment at the Betty Ford Center on January 3.

Yes, Malin is a much better candidate than anyone I could come up with. She’s not really A-list, but she’s solid B-list, and she gets a lot of supporting/character work in films. Plus, she had the decency to try and avoid Gerard Butler when he was groping her, for which I kind of love her. And she’s not a jacked up crackhead. All in all, worlds better than Blohan. But will Malin really be comfortable with how degrading the script is? Or will there be other changes too? Eh.
Here are some photos of Lindsay and her jacked lips on Friday. Only a crackhead would pose outside of a court-ordered rehab facility like this - like she was in Paris for the shows. Jesus.
