    With no movie or album in the works, Lindsay Lohan has had a quite a bit of time on her hands post-rehab. So what's a celeb to do with all that downtime? A naked photo shoot, of course. The starlet posed nude for New York magazine and photographer Bert Stern, in a re-creation of Marilyn Monroe's most famous shoot, shot in 1962, six weeks before she died.

It's amazing how much older she looks than her real age." "When I showed my husband the pics, he said she should keep her clothes on.
