Here’s an interesting story for you…Lindsay Lohan, who’s recent exploits have included a few stints in rehab, several movie flops, and numerous shopping expeditions, has had a movie offer from Warren Beatty that she might not want to refuse…as long as she abides by a few rules, and they ain’t got nothin’ to do with Georgia:

What I’m told is that Warren, the smartest guy in Hollywood, bar none, wants Ms. Lohan to come live under his roof — at least one of his guest roofs — while he shoots this movie.

And wait, you’re wondering, what movie is this? Beatty is said to have a script he wants to direct and star in, with La Lohan possibly playing his daughter. (If it’s his love interest, well, I’m not going there and I’m sure Warren isn’t either.)

Lindsay is said to know this is a chance of a lifetime and a way to re-start her languishing career. Recent efforts, like that horrid John Lennon murder movie Chapter 27, haven’t left her in the greatest shape. On the plus side, she’s clean, sober, happy and looking great.

But Lohan is a gifted actress with a lot of baggage and reputation for not making it to the set always on time and in one piece. So Beatty’s proviso sounds like a smart idea. And how bad it can be to live up on Mulholland Drive under the aegis of Annette Bening? I can hear a lot of young actresses heading to the phone now to try and get that gig.

Lindsay has a lot of friends in the business including Conde Nast/Vanity Fair genius editor Ingrid Sischy. The former pilot of Interview magazine is said to be eager also to help Lindsay get back on track, and has offered her (the right kind of ) magazine covers. So it’s up to Lohan, who’s wasted too much time playing at life and a career.

Hmm.  Well, first, far be it from me to disagree with an illustrious writer who works at the uber-famous Fox News site, since I’m just a lowly celeb blogger, but I got a couple of beefs with that article.  First, I wouldn’t exactly jump to the conclusion that Linds is clean, sober, happy, and/or looking great.  I also take umbrage at the implication that she is a gifted actress.  Yes, she has some gifts, but it’s painfully obvious that she doesn’t know what to do with them…plus let’s face it, we ain’t talking no Meryl Streep here.  She may be good, but she’s not that good, yet.

I mean, early in her career (before she looked like a popsicle stick with two balloons tied to it that somebody dropped in the mud) she had some hits and her career looked promising.  But lately, her projects have tanked faster than the Hindenburg.  Anybody remember I Know Who Killed Me?  Chapter 27?  Georgia Rules?  Bobby?  I didn’t think so.  And the reason is because she can’t decide if she wants to be a celebrity or an actress, according to the aforementioned great Meryl Streep.  It’s like the comments I used to get on my report cards:  “k could work above her current level if she would apply herself.”  She could be great.  She has the ability, but if she doesn’t work on improving and honing those gifts, she’ll forever be relegated to the five-dollar DVD bin at Walmart…or the one-dollar rack at Big Lots.

Warren Beatty (Dick Tracy notwithstanding) could do wonders for her career, if Lindsay will let him.  But the facts are that she’s already been in movies with Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Laurence Fishburne, Anthony Hopkins, William H. Macy…girlfriend has had chances with some of the bigshots of the entertainment universe, chances other actresses would kill for, and she still can’t manage to truly break through.  She needs to realize that those chances are very likely to dry up if she doesn’t get her head out of her sphincter.  She needs to smarten up and realize that life is not all about parties, shopping, and acting like a general idiot in front of the whole world.  And for goodness sake, somebody get her a cheeseburger…she’s looking WAY too skinny again.  (btw, yes, that thing in the background is younger sis Ali.  Fifteen.)

She’s only 22.  She’s got her life ahead of her, and this could be a good do-over for her career.  Lindsay, it’s the same advice as what to do when you see drugs…don’t blow it!
