At this point in her career, Lindsay Lohan might have enough star power to land a small film role — as with her upcoming turn in Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" — but it seems some in Hollywood have gotten cold feet about hiring the actress.

After firing her from "The Other Side" over the weekend, writer/director David Michaels explained the decision by saying Lohan is "not bankable."

"The producers of the movie have reported that financiers have been resistant to finance the movie with Lindsay in the lead role," he told E! News.

At press time, a rep for Lohan had not responded to MTV News' request for comment.

A soon to be has been.

It’s unfortunate...Hope she finally gets the help she needs.

Sad considering she has talent if you saw Mean Girls of Parent Trap. Drugs and her “girlfriend” did her career in. I predict porn within three years.

It's not "bamkability." Failed movie stars get comeback roles all the time. Lindsay's problem is insurability. No insurance company will write a completion bond for a film with Lindsay in it because she is such an obvious high risk for a fatal drug overdose.

Lohan looks like hell. She is too young to look like hell.

She needs to do what Robert Downey Jr did. Robert was literally left for dead in the late 90s.

Where are those trainwreck pics?

[SevenofNine]

Go on TMZ.com there is possibtly her father may file conservatorship on her

[dfwgator]

Or before that, Dennis Hopper.

[GeronL]

I hear they never know whether she’ll show up for a shoot or not.

What saved him was his stint in prison rehab..Corcoran...Glad he hit his bottom. Maybe she will fare better...

[GeronL]

That would be wild. Is she unable to take care of herself at all?

[purpleporter]

Maybe E-Trade would use her for their commercials???

Nah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>Lohan looks like hell. She is too young to look like hell.

In the words of Mr Mackey “Drugs are bad, m’kay?”

[maro]

So pretty just a few years ago. How sad.

[nesnah]

Thank you for that little giggle before bed, m-kay. :-)

[Drew68]

I predict porn within three years.

What's the point? Photos of Lohan showing her goods for free are but a quick google search away.

[swatbuznik]

Of course, she’ll have plenty of people to blame for it rather than her own miserable self.

She doesn't much Like Sarah Palin either, apparently.
Remember this from before the 2008 elections?

“Is our country so divided that the Republicans’ best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?” she asks.

Lohan also blasts Palin on abortion (Palin is pro-life).

“Women have come a long way in the fight to have the choice over what we do with our bodies ... and it's frightening to see that a woman in 2008 would negate all of that,” she writes.

“In the words of Pamela Anderson, ‘She can suck it,’’ she writes.”
