Lohan Gets Naked for Marilyn Monroe Shoot | Today's Top Videos | 2/19/2008
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. Although Lohan looks great in the photos, we are slightly taken aback by how comfortable she is baring all! Watch it now! | More online videosYour take: Do you think this photo shoot was something Lohan did as a tribute to Marilyn, or do you think she was just trying to get noticed in the media since she's not doing much career-wise? read more
Nude Lindsay Lohan Makes Like Marilyn Monroe; What's Your Take? | Today's News: Our Take | 2/18/2008
One bombshell evokes another in the Spring Fashion issue of New York Magazine, where Lindsay Lohan braves new levels of near-total undress to mimic Marilyn Monroe's "The Last Sitting," a famous series of poses for photog Bert Stern. (See pictorial here. It's very much unsafe for work, but then again, today is a holiday. Fortuitous, no?). Watch related video here.Hopefully for LiLo, the starlet's sometimes reckless (if not freckle-less) life will steer toward the straighter and narrower, and all such MarMo comparisons will be limited to the printed picture.Among TVGuide.com readers' early reviews:"At the very least the photographers could have covered her tramp stamp.""Unflattering is a pretty good word for it. 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. I am sure that is not the reaction she was hoping for.""Lots of actresses pose for Playboy to reboot their careers. This seems like the same... read more
Episode Recap: "Joyce & Sharon Monroe" | Nip/Tuck | 11/7/2007
Once again, seeing Christian and Sean in their new Hollywood surroundings hit home for me. Our TV Guide corporate offices are directly across the street from Grauman's Chinese Theatre, so we see those celebrity look-alike characters every day. As soon as I saw Fat Elvis appear in this episode, I said out loud: "Yes! Fat Elvis!" Coincidental side note: I shared an elevator with Fat Elvis this morning — I swear (but the one used in the show was a different one, played by actor James Price). So having McNamara/Troy treat dueling Marilyn Monroes? Genius. I would've died if it were dueling Spider-mans because we've got them here on Hollywood Blvd., one much more in shape than the other. And yes, Chewbacca is there, too. Susan Griffiths and Merilee Brasch were fabulous as Joyce and Sharon, respectively. But I'd like to point out that they should've switched roles since I thought Susan as Joyce played the better Marilyn, even though they mentioned several times that Sharon was... read more
All About Eve Is All About Brilliant Bitchiness! | Ask FlickChick | 11/5/2007
DVD Tuesday: Fasten your seat belts — All About Eve elevates backbiting, betrayal and world-class bitchiness to an art form!There are mean girls and then there are grade-A, world-class, take no prisoners bitches, and no one played them better than Bette Davis. As All About Eve's vain, thin-skinned, high-handed, hard-drinking, chain-smoking Margo Channing, a veteran Broadway headliner whose star is losing its luster, she's an absolute monster of the most entertaining kind.The role revitalized the 41-year-old Davis' then-flagging career, and she only scored it after Claudette Colbert hurt her back; Davis always said she modeled Margo on the legendary hell-raiser Talullah Bankhead, but she could have found plenty of inspiration closer to home. Addison DeWitt (George Sanders), Margo's nemesis, is more than her match: Who better than a man who called his autobiography Memoirs of a Professional Cad to play a drama critic whose barbed tongue is dipped in poison? Simon Cowell is an... read more
