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?

Lindsay Lohan by Kevin Winter/Getty Images
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 so...

Per the Hollywood Reporter, Nicole Kidman is producing and may star in a redo of How to Marry a Millionaire, the 1953 comedy featuring Marilyn Monroe as one of three models on the prowl for rich men. Kidman's project, though, is said to be a "complete overhaul" of the original story.... Filmmaker David S. Goyer (Blade, Batman Begins) will develop and may direct the X-Men franchise prequel recounting the early friendship and ultimate rivalry between Magneto and Professor X, with actors in their twenties playing the leads. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine spin-off, however, is expected to get made first.

Question: What was the first feature-length American movie to include a nude scene, not counting porn?
Answer: Inspiration (1915) is generally cited as the first American movie to contain a nude scene; it starred well-known artist’s model Audrey Munson as a country girl who moves to the big city, becomes a nude model and falls in love with a sculptor. Inspiration was short by today’s standards, but it was feature-length by the standards of the day. Munson made three more films, Purity (1916), Girl o’ Dreams (1917) and Heedless Moths (1921), and she appeared naked in all of them.
In 1916, Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman starred in the lavish fantasy A Daughter of the Gods, widely cited as Hollywood’s first million-dollar production and by all accounts at least two hours long. But it has been lost,

Going coastal: The Ghost & Mrs. Muir's Lange
Question: I had a huge crush on Edward Mulhare before he was on Knight Rider, going way back to The Ghost & Mrs. Muir. My question is: How did Captain Gregg die in order to become a ghost? Thank you for your help.
Answer: A 19th-century sea captain, Daniel Gregg (the late Mulhare, who did indeed appear on Knight Rider, as F.L.A.G. head Devon Miles) was asphyxiated in his sleep when a gas heater was knocked over. As if that weren't enough to make him a grumpy spirit, his death was reported as a suicide, which set him up to be none too welcoming to his greedy nephew's (Charles Nelson Reilly) prospective tenants in contemporary times. (The series ran for a year on NBC, beginning in September 1968, and was then picked up for another season by ABC.)
But as fans of the novel

Waiting for stardom: Marilyn Monroe in Dangerous Years
Question: What's the title of the first movie Marilyn Monroe appeared in, and when was it released?Answer: This is the sort of question that looks so simple it's not worth answering, but like so many other things in life, it's more complicated than it looks. The very first film Marilyn Monroe shot was The Shocking Miss Pilgrim (1947), a Betty Grable musical about the women's suffrage movement; Monroe's bit part was cut out. Monroe's role in Scudda-Hoo! Scudda-Hay!, a comedy about mule training, was also a bit; it was uncredited and of her three scenes, two were deleted before the film's release. She can be seen paddling a canoe with the also-uncredited
