Lindsay Lohan may have landed her newest comeback role.
RadarOnline reports that Lohan, recently out of rehab and now in legal trouble for allegedly stealing a necklace — is lined up to star in “Escaping The Game”. Lohan would play — perhaps ironically — a journalist out to find celebrities that have escaped to a distant island in order to get out of the paparazzi limelight.
The film’s producer, Nathan Folks, says Lindsay is a good friend and is all for doing the project — so long as she doesn’t go to jail, which he’s confident she won’t — and has agreed to be monitored 24/7 so that the film can get insured.
This isn’t the first time Lohan has been rumored for what would be a comeback role. She’s supposedly set to star in a thinly veiled version of her story called “One Night With You,” though rumor has it that her legal trouble could see her cut from the cast.
Afraid of one day going to jail? No worries! Christian Slater says it ain’t that bad.
Slater, the star of films such as “Heathers,” “True Romance,” and “Interview with the Vampire,” has been around show business since he was seven years old. But it’s been the last half decade that has truly been a rebirth for him — Slater, a former bad boy, has been sober for five years.
“Look, I could spend a lot of time kicking the s**t out of myself for the choices I made,” Slater says. “I was dealing with alcoholism and addiction, and there was a lot to take on without much life experience. Addiction is not pretty, and you don’t fully understand it unless you’re dealing with it head-on.
“That’s why when I see other kids struggling, I will sometimes reach out to them–a call or an e-mail.”
“I appreciated the people who reached out to me. It’s a brutal position to be in. You feel alone and confused over where your life went and how you got yourself in this situation.”
“Honestly, [it was] not so bad. Jail was a result of me not taking time for myself,” Slater reflects. “So I was forced to take some time for myself. It was necessary for me. When you’re going down that path, you either kill yourself or you’re forced to take time out.”
Slater talks about much more, including his relationship with Winona Rider and his friendship with River Phoenix — click over to Details to read the rest.
They say the best advice comes from experience. In that case, Lindsay Lohan may want to listen to these very, very wise words.
Charlie Sheen made appearances on Monday and then again on Wednesday on DirectTV’s “The Dan Patrick Show,” talking his battle with addiction — and, when asked, giving a few words of advice to Lohan, who is suffering with her own addiction and legal issues.
“You get Lindsay on the show, I will call in,” he told Patrick. “I’ve got some advice for her. I’ve got some things I would recommend she consider because I don’t tell anybody what to do. Work on your impulse control. Just try to think things through a little bit before you do them.
“I was not there in the store, the necklace, the thing, the bracelet, who cares? They’re so desperate to vilify without fact,” he continued, talking about her felony theft charges and lashing out at a media he’s battled with himself.
Good advice for the both of them.
Sheen didn’t let himself off the hook, either.
“People need to understand how supremely grateful I am that someone stepped in here,” he said about the intervention that followed an epic weekend of partying and doing drugs with porn stars. “I don’t want to say who, but you know, basically, Viacom showed up at my house and said ‘Dude, it’s getting really obvious and we’re really worried about you. We don’t give a rat’s tooey about the show, we care about your health.’ So, they came in and just man to man and said ‘We have to shut it down.’”
The troubled star also insisted that he never showed up on set drunk or on drugs — but he didn’t always give it his all.
“The shape I was showing up in was epic, was beyond comprehension,” Sheen admitted. “[I’ve] never been drunk, never been high on the set once. But, I would show up not having slept much. Doing a network run through and asking the director, Jamie, to move my mark a little bit so I could be next to a piece of furniture or a table so I wouldn’t fall over. That is an expert move by a seasoned professional. I’m sorry, an amateur stays on his mark and then falls over during the run through.”
Sheen also mentions a girlfriend — whom he says will remain nameless to avoid “turning her life upside down.”
