Could Lindsay Lohan's Career Be Saved by Porn?

How's that for a headline?Real quick, because I gotta jet.

Because let's face it - a lot of people have written LiLo off, arguing that she has crossed a line, partied too hard and been involved in too many infractions to be taken seriously anymore. Or at least for now.
This Jameson bio, meanwhile, will likely be indie fare, so what if Lindsay came in under the radar, acted the bejesus out of the thing - giving some seemingly heartless subject matter a real, emotional tug - and showed up her detractors? Say what you will about Lohan's personal antics, but she has sensuality in spades, and some acting chops to boot. She could do this, if she seized the day.
Just a thought.
